Sent to Nathaniel Goodwin, mentions Farmers & Merchants Bank of Hartford.
From a cache of letters belonging to Nathaniel GOODWIN (1782-1855) and family. Nathaniel was a genealogist, Probate Judge, and Treasurer of Hartford CT. He also published "Descendants of Thomas Olcott" (1845), "The Foote Family" (1849), and posthumously, “Genealogical Notes of Some of the First Settlers of Connecticut and Massachusetts," with a memoir (1856).
All ephemera shows wear commensurate to age, including, potentially, stains, worn corners, dings, fraying, scents, stray marks, rips, and other imperfections, etc. You get what you see.
