Three letters written in ink from Nathan Joseph, a San Francisco fishing equipment dealer, to Henry Hall of Hall Fishing Line in Central Valley, NY. Dated February 21, March 8, and March 17, 1881, the letters detail orders for various fishing lines, including oil silk line and hard braided linen. One letter requests that the order be forwarded to Henry Levy & Son in New York City. The correspondence provides insight into the business dealings of early fishing equipment dealers.
