This letter, dated March 26, 1866, is from H. G. Norton & Co. in New York to the Providence Rubber Co., concerning sample shipments of hosiery. The letter features an ornate, highly detailed lithographed letterhead depicting a block of buildings on Broadway, New York. The illustration identifies several businesses, including H.G. Norton & Co. (Rubber Goods) at 509 Broadway, Bogardus Photographs, Taylor's International Hotel & Saloons, Solomon & Hart (Fabric for upholstery), S. Strahlheim & Co. (Laces & White Goods), E.A. Hayt & Co. (Cloaks and Mantillas), W.H. Lyon & Co. (Yankee Notions and Hosiery), Watrous Boyden & Fay (Hats), and B.F. Beekman (Silk and Straw Goods), each with their specific building number. The architectural style depicted is typical of mid-19th century commercial blocks in a major city. **3.
