This folded lettersheet / stampless letter has a circular date stamp for ZANESVILLE O., a 12 ~ cent rate and is addressed to Urbanna [sic], and is a short letter written by W W Scarborough. The headline is Zanesville, Ohio Mar 31, 1845.

The letter mentions a dividend on the Urbanna bank, and asks about the prices current for Cash at the bank.

From the history books: "William Woolsey Scarborough, b. Aug. 20, 1814, was a merchant at Mazatlan, Mexico, from 1837 to 1843. Since 1846 he has been a merchant at Cincinnati. He was for several years (1858- 71) prest. of " The Bank of the Ohio Valley " in that city, and since 1871 has been prest. of " The Cincinnati Gas Light and Coke Co." He is an elder also in the Presb. Church. He m. April 17, 1844, at Zanesville, O., Sarah Van Beuren."

Condition of the letter rates good. As usual with stampless letters, after writing on one or more sides of a sheet of paper, the letter was folded several times and mailed. Please note that most stampless letters have faults such file folds, tears at and opposite the sealing wax area, and some stains / wear / tear here and there. I hope the scan gives you a general idea of the condition.

An interesting letter good for genealogy and history research. See my other auctions for similar items.
