Stampless "Ship Letter" from New York City to Sheffield, England, bright gold-colored folded letter sheet datelined (appropriately) "14 Gold Street, New York 23rd Sept.", from James W. Dixon to his father's silver cutlery company, James Dixon & Sons, Cornish Place, Sheffield (still in business, Cornish Place in operation until the 1990s), discussing exchange rates and discounts, with boxed "Liverpool/Ship Letter" handstamp on back panel; undated, but reference made to "So much for Jackson's…experiment!!!"—referring, presumably, to either President Jackson's vetoing the Second Bank of America's re-authorization or to his support for the 1832 Tariff Act—thus placing the date sometime after 1832; removed from binding of some sort, portions adhering, but otherwise clean and sound, Fine to Very Fine.
