This folded lettersheet / stampless letter has a circular date stamp for BALTIMORE Md. DEC [the DEC is upside down], a matching PAID and 5 cent rate, and is addressed to Louis Gassaway, Annapolis, and is a one page letter written by John J. Lloyd. The headline is Baltimore Dec 20, 1847.

Some abstracts:

"In the case of Lucy A. Gray & others vs. Lynch & McDonald ... my clients, Lynch & McDonald in pursuance of the Decree of ..."

"You may either draw on me for the amount of your bill, or if you will send me the exact amount coming to you ..."

"Your statements of the costs, on which I have settled with them is ..."

"To whom shall I pay the 'seals & taxes' & sheriffs costs?"

Condition of the letter rates good. As usual with stampless letters, after writing on one or more sides of a sheet of paper, the letter was folded several times and mailed. Please note that most stampless letters have faults such file folds, tears at and opposite the sealing wax area, and some stains / wear / tear here and there. I hope the scan gives you a general idea of the condition.

An interesting letter good for genealogy and history research. See my other auctions for similar items.
