Philadelphia: 1907.
Sold
Unbound. One page Autograph Letter Signed ("Mary Dunn") to Mr. A.D. Sharpless dated in 1907 on her "Mary Dunn, Landscape Gardener" stationary, which has been neatly overprinted to remove her husband John Dunn's name and adding hers. She writes to Mr. Sharpless: "...you state that other arrangements will be made for the future care of the lot. As I am a widow and have my Living to earn I really can not afford to lose any of my work as I depend on it for my Living. I will take the same special care of the Nathan Sharpless Lot as in the Past for the future for Eight dollars a year." She goes on to give a reference and asks to hear from him "...if my Offer is Satisfactory." Old folds as mailed and a tiny nick in one margin, near fine. An interesting insight into a widow attempting in the face of opposition to continue her family business.
