OSBOURNE BRIDGE NEW YORK DEAD POST OFFICE CIVIL WAR ERA COVER & LETTER. FATHER ILL

Four-page letter from Maud Shutt to her children asking them to come home due to their father's severe illness. It also addresses a problem her son is having with his thumb. Osbourne Bridge is located in the middle of Great Sacandaga Lake in New York State. Doubt there is a lot of correspondence from this location.

The letter reads in part: "Your father is worse than he has ever been since I knew him. His leg is so helpless that he cant get off nor on the bed nor off his chair without help. So you may tell Dick and Phebe that you have made up your minds to come home and help take care of him." "I am sorry Miles that you have got a sore thumb. If it is bellon I am afraid you will have a bard time. Dont let it be to long before you have it cut open. If you dont (it) will affect the bone to much. Have it cut open as soon as it will worsen. Now if you are coming home you had better get ready and come as soon as you can. If you have any good tools, you had better fetch them along. Perhaps you may get some work here this winter if you want."

The letter continues telling the children to sell their store and most of their possessions, but pack up a set of dishes if they have them. The letter concludes: "I dont want to schare you but your father is growing worse all the time. He is very weak and feels bad. Our love to you..."

Excellent view into lifestyle and vernacular of the time.

carrollton-michigan-1882-cover -and-long-letter-to-sand-lake-michigan MICHIGAN: CARROLLTON 1882 COVER AND EXCELLENT LETTER TO SAND LAKE MICHIGAN.

Nice early oval postmark on this cover from a small Michigan township to a desirable destination.  Long four-page letter is from Wesley Kilborn to Charles Reston telling him that he has applied for and won the position of principal of Carrolton High School and is excited that the job pays $15 a month more than he was previously making.  The only problem, he states, is that: "is it a very rough school as this place is nearly all French Canadians and Irish. In fact, there is more French spoken than English. This place is then you see what I call a devilish hard hole and the scholars and their teachers have regular fights in the school room."  Much more to read and enjoy.

MONACO 1956 ROYAL WEDDING STAMPS RARE COMMERCIAL COVER USE - POSTAL HISTORY RARE MONACO 1956 ROYAL WEDDING STAMPS RARE COMMERCIAL COVER USE

ACCORDING TO AN ARTICLE IN THE APS JOURNAL, "In 1956, Monaco issued a set of stamps to honor the marriage of movie star Grace Kelly to Prince Ranier. Almost everything to do with these stamps (from blocks of four to first day covers) are, today, rather inexpensive. However, true commercial usages of any of the stamps are quite rare. This seemingly common piece of mail from the Lancome perfume people is a major find worth well over $100!" THIS COVER HAS NO CONTENT.
