A half-page letter written by Wickliffe E. Baldwin in New York City on July 27, 1851 (possibly 1852) to Charles Tobias in New Orleans. Baldwin writes on behalf of his brother Horace, thanking Tobias for a kind note and informing him that the business is now under Baldwin's control. Horace E. Baldwin & Co. was previously known as Taylor, Baldwin and Co., based in Newark, NJ, before relocating to New Orleans in 1842. Baldwin appears to have remained in New Orleans until 1853.
