Vintage letters...

Some time ago, in an old box I found at auction, I came across some very old letters (the oldest is dated 1877). They make fascinating reading but are also beautiful objects in their own right...
 I love the letter heading on this page, perhaps this is where the author worked?

Here's a close up of the 'three box power loom' advertised on the
letter heading...

 





and here's another, more recent letter in beautiful handwriting. I've left out the start and finish because it seems a bit intrusive to include it. The first page was quite personal so I chose to omit that part...



 I hope you enjoy these lovely archive items as much as I do...
Have a good day x
