Offered is a wonderful old hand written letter signed by LK Browne and RB Patterson, Oxford NY dated 8/25/1885. Addressed to CW Leavitt, whom I believe was a civil engineer for the New York Central Railroad. Discussing the sad condition of the railroad with the men being thoroughly demoralized, trying to set up a meeting I assume for the purchase or investment. I believe the Ontario and Western came through Oxford NY at tis time, but I do not know if that is the railway referenced in the letter. Email if you know. This looks to be a great research project. Very good condition, light soiling, letter folded. It measures 5 3/8"w x 8 1/4". A nice find.
Failure to read full description may result in delays and misunderstandings. Please look elsewhere if you feel shipping charge quoted is too high. I do not set rates and can’t afford to absorb these costs, being a small operation. Charge calculated by packed size, weight and ship to destination from NY.
