Interesting, newsy letter from one cousin to another. However, railroads are a common bond as well. J. Wallace Cleveland was a director of the Gloversville and Broadalbin railroad. John M. Carroll was a stockholder in the Johnstown, Gloversville and Kingsboro Horse Railroad. From the salutation of the letter, they appear to be cousins. Broadalbin manuscript postmarks are fairly difficult to come by.
