1847 stampless folded letter from Lairdsville New York in Oneida County New York NY historians and researchers will love this item. Lairdsville is near Rome and Utica but closest to Kirkland. This letter is 4 pages long. Stampless with a postal rate of 10. Sent to Rushville in Schuyler County Illinois so Illinois historians might find it of interest too. This letter talks about many, many different subjects. These include family news, deaths, disease including measles, illness, making quilts, churning butter and milking 26 cows. Also, maple sugar and maple molasses (syrup), traveling to Detroit and Buffalo for business and visiting a steam woolen factory. Also, mother will not visit Illinois and Waterville and Utica. Also, talks about silk dress and mantilla so something for those interested in ladies' fashions of the era. Other subjects too. That is only a small sampling. I did not read thoroughly but well worth it to those interested in this era and Central New York or this county. While there is no crosshatch writing, there is writing in the margins along the sides. NOTE-----scan is poor due to old scanner-----scan shows one side missing but letter is complete and whole. No problems with condition. NY Ill Il
