Interesting February 4, 1876 handwritten business letter on American Express Company stationery from Dubuque, Iowa, signed by E. T. KEIM, identified on the letterhead as agent. The letter measures approximately 5 x 8 inches and is written on printed American Express Company stationery listing the office at 437 Main Street, Dubuque, Iowa.
The content concerns a financial draft intended to cover principal on a note, references the recipient\'s favor, discusses a Dubuque newspaper item that mentioned the recipient, and asks whether the recipient has anything else that would be useful regarding a Court House filing.
