1880s Handwritten Letter – Blackstone, VA – Mr. Hindman Residence Inquiry – J. Batchellor Signed
Approximately 7.75\" by 9.75\" some folds
Original handwritten letter dated December 8th from Blackstone, Virginia, addressed to Messrs. W. Dudley & Co. In response to an inquiry, the writer, J. Batchellor, confirms that Mr. Hindman is residing in the village, specifically “in one of the Blackstone Co.\'s houses near the depot.” A brief but locally informative business communication likely from the late 19th century, providing insight into residential or company housing arrangements near a railroad depot. Signed clearly at the bottom by J. Batchellor.
