Letters from Laban Howes Jr – Item 1 /Log – Nov.14 to Dec. 25, 1880
Abstract
These letters from Laban consist of essentially a diary during his mastering of a vessel, sent to his parents. They are sent in pre-addressed pre-printed envelopes, to “Laban Howes, Dennis, Mass.” to which is added in handwriting “United States of America.” This letter’s envelope is also stamped “John Dawson & Co.”, postmarked “Queenstown MR 18 81”. This one is written on very poor paper, and the bleed-through of ink from back to front (and front to back) of each sheet makes some of the handwriting almost illegible. Sometimes he has numbered the pages, and sometimes not; we will adhere to page numbering.Related items
