BRIDGEPORT CONNECTICUT 1848 STAMPLESS FOLDED LETTER TO VERGENNES VERMONT

Very interesting 2 1/2-page letter from Emma Curtis to her Aunt Alsow Roscoe.  Emma seems to have a family business because she says she read a letter from her aunt while she was sitting at the stand between her husband Mark and a cousin.  She talks of a sick grandmother a visit from her father and discusses visiting and/or moving to Vermont.    She inquires about Aunt Nancy.  Nice long letter, easy to read.  Condition very good for this era; having only a hole where the seal was broken.

RUTLAND VERMONT 1849 STAMPLESS FOLDED LEGAL LETTER TO WEST POULTNEY VERMONT

Lengthy and very interesting lawyer letter containing transcripts of four court events involving William P. Noyes, of Rutland and his claim against the estate of John Shumway, late of South Poultney. James Wenchel, South Poultney administrator, "ought not to have or maintain in such capacity his aforesaid action thereof against him because he says that the said William P. Noyes was not guilty of the several supposed trespasses and convessions (sic) in the said declaration mentioned".  Apparently Noyes appropriated some land that was part of the Shumway estate. The letter is addressed to J. B. Beamon, who is the attorney for Wenchel. Other names mentioned include: G. Hanes, Ralph Taylor and Edgerton. Missive is dated April 4, 1849. Excellent historical item.

SOUTH PLAINS MAINE SCOTT #11A COVER T0 ROCKLAND MAINE SOUTH PLAINS (?) MAINE SCOTT #11A COVER T0 ROCKLAND MAINE

If you look at the manuscript mark on this letter, it is easily read as S Plains, Maine.  The tough part is finding if a South Plains Maine ever existed.  That explains the question mark in the headline.  If anyone can provide more information, please send it along.  Cover is in poor condition with tears around the stamp and through the manuscript mark. Plenty of age wrinkles, too. However, the stamp is fantastic. Right margin copy with all good margins; tending to a little close at top left.  Strong color. Addressed to G. B. Macomber in Rockland Maine.
