Letter - D. Abraham, Montgomery, Ala., June 9, 1887
This letter, dated June 9, 1887, from Curry Marks, an agent, to Gish & Co. in Lynchburg, Virginia, discusses a business trip. Writing on the ornate letterhead of D. Abraham, a wholesale and retail dealer of crockery, Haviland's French china, glassware, and plated ware, Marks explains that he is in Montgomery, Alabama, but finds it "useless for me to be on the road this month" due to inactive saw mills, which means the mills are not in need of goods. He expresses readiness to travel next month if Gish & Co. approves. The letterhead features decorative Victorian-style lettering for the business name, along with a detailed listing of the products sold and the street address.
