" ... to Rowland Hill with the Ministry of Finance in 1839 ..."
Is here a date somewhere that shows 1839 ?
Does it look genuine ? Can the month and day be read ?
If so, I guess someone added the penny stamp two or three years later since the Penny reds were first released in 1841.
Could it actually be 1859 ?

Looks as if the date could be 1858 so you are on the right track

Yes, and that makes it a very nice cover to keep with the note inside. If I had uit I'd mount it in a special place in my Machin collection. the only thing that could be better would be a cover from Rowland Hill, but chances of getting that are probably slim to none.

This was a letter sent to Rowland Hill with the Ministry of Finance in 1839 London, can anyone explain the 'CLERK' cancel how and when it was used,

Silence in the face of adversity is the father of complicity and collusion, the first cousins of conspiracy..
