(Thought I'd have to go to the Oxford English Dictionary for this, but there it was, in the Webster's):

It's both a trasitive verb("remove the family to more suitable dwellings" "remove it, damn it!") OR an intransitive verb(the family removed to the suburbs," "the store removed to a better location"--even though we usually say "move" when we mean moving (changing location) today. I remembered reading in 19th century books that other use of "removed," as in "I am removing to North Valley street."

So the invoice most probably means "we have moved to Nassau street," given the other features it presents.

My poor little card...second best...sniff. That's O.K. But I DO have to sell it some day...great research, guys
