Letter from Goodwin to Coventry CT Town Clerk, requesting information on Nathaniel Kendrick who moved from Newton MA to Coventry to Hanover NH — reply on back of letter.

From a cache of letters belonging to Nathaniel GOODWIN (1782-1855), who was a genealogist, Probate Judge, and Treasurer of Hartford CT. He also published "Descendants of Thomas Olcott" (1845), "The Foote Family" (1849), and posthumously, “Genealogical Notes of Some of the First Settlers of Connecticut and Massachusetts," with a memoir (1856).

All ephemera shows wear commensurate to age, including, potentially, stains, worn corners, dings, fraying, scents, stray marks, rips, and other imperfections, etc. You get what you see.

Decent condition for age, but does have a definite scent.
