This antique letter from Owego, NY is a fascinating piece of history. Written in the 1800s (perhaps 1887 or 1881, but based on other materials it was found with, I suspect it may be 1857) it offers a glimpse into life during that time period. The letter mentions “strange events” and an “awful murder committed, ” providing a glimpse into the dark side of society during those times. Wear commensurate to age, including smudging, age stains, discoloration, folds, fraying, minor tears, etc commensurate to a letter of its age.
