This antique letter from 1869 is a fascinating piece of history that would make a great addition to any collection. Written by a surveyor and civil engineer, it provides a glimpse into life in Thompson, CT.

All ephemera has wear commensurate to age, including, potentially: nicks, folds, smudges, rips at edges, age stains, old smells, small holes, and other imperfections. You get what you see :)

Top left side is ripped.
