Letter from Horace Baldwin to Charles Tobias, May 26, 1851
One and one-quarter page letter written by Horace Baldwin in New York City to Charles Tobias in New Orleans on May 26, 1851. Baldwin discusses the delay of a ship sailing to New Orleans on the 26th and his search for alternative transportation. He mentions his physicians' advice against a more arduous mail route and proposes a meeting in Charleston. Notes mention that Horace E. Baldwin & Co. was a firm, and that prior to moving to New Orleans in 1842, Mr. Baldwin was a partner in Taylor, Baldwin and Co. in Newark, New Jersey. Further notes indicate that Mr. Baldwin remained in New Orleans until 1853 and acquired much of his silver from New Jersey and New York producers.
