Description: The letter deals with business issues. I think the  letter was sent to St. Louis, Missouri but not completely sure.  Norman C. Baldwin (1802-1887) was an early commission merchant,  politician, banker, and prominent citizen in Cleveland and Ohio  City, Ohio. He was mayor of Ohio City from 1838 to 1839. O.M. Oviatt  is probably Orson Minott Oviatt (1799-1869) who was an early settler  and large land owner in Ohio and is associated with the abolitionist  John Brown who stayed on some of his property in Richfield in the  1840s. The other possibility is it is his son who had the same name  and died in 1901.

Condition: The letter has a few small closed tears at the folds  junctions, creases, and some soiling.
