1845 Letters to Trust: Colonel George Pratt & Captain James Family Hartford CT For Sale

This is a series of three letters on the same sheet. The first is from the Caroline & Cornelia Pratt, sisters of Colonel George Pratt and granddaughter of Captain James Pratt, asking Nathaniel Goodwin to authorize money from the trust to be spent on a piano and lessons. Additionally, there is a response from Goodwin and another letter written on their behalf.

Found amongst a cache of letters to/from Nathaniel GOODWIN (1782-1855), who was a genealogist, Probate Judge, and Treasurer of Hartford CT. He also published "Descendants of Thomas Olcott" (1845), "The Foote Family" (1849), and posthumously, “Genealogical Notes of Some of the First Settlers of Connecticut and Massachusetts," with a memoir (1856).

All ephemera shows wear commensurate to age, including, potentially, stains, worn corners, dings, fraying, scents, stray marks, rips, and other imperfections, etc. You get what you see.

Decent condition for age, but does have a definite scent.
