1 Page folds Approximately 7.75\" by 9.75\"
This original handwritten letter dated February 6, 1868, from Kingston, NY, is signed by Sheriff C.H. Boutle. The sheriff writes to “Messrs. George & Thornton,” explaining his unsuccessful attempt to find “Jac H. Roosa” and instead finding “Jac C. Roosa,” described as “worthless.” The letter mentions that Jones has no personal property and that his real estate is mortgaged for the purchase amount. The letter is neatly penned in brown ink on lined paper, showing typical age-related toning and a small stain on the left edge. A fascinating piece of 19th-century legal and financial history, perfect for collectors of historical documents.
