    Description

    Offered are these two antique letterhead business receipts from Henry Welsh, importer and wholesale grocer of New York City, doing business at Washington Street and Franklin Street. Both are dated April 10, 1875 and are made out to the Ridge Valley Iron Co. of Rome, Ga. The first receipt is little more than the letterhead but the second one has a lengthy handwritten list of items, with prices. (See last two photos for close-ups.)
    The smaller document is approx. 8 3/8" x 4 5/8" while the larger document is about 8 1/2" x 9 1/8". They are in fair condition, as shown, with some small holes and some edge tears and small missing bits along the edge, mainly at the crease. They have browned, the writing is faded, but mostly readable, and there is considerable foxing.
