No scans yet, but yesterday I bought some old letters in an antique shop fo the stamps. Two of them are from the mayor of Charleston,SC to his brother. Both have great content, one is about the legal wrangling over his election, the other about a yellow fever outbreak and who left town in a hurry.
The rest are looking interesting too, one is a railroad circular from 1849 billing a stockholder $10 per share!
Neat stuff.
