1234-26. (document) U.S. Life-Saving Service, Office of Superintendent, First District, Portsmouth, NH. c.1899. Silas H. Harding, Superintendent, 1st. L.S. Dist. Original typed letter on official stationery, signed in hand by Superintendent Harding, is addressed to James A. Robinson & Son (clothiers), of Bangor, Maine, regarding pricing for an overcoat. In the short, terse text Superintendent Harding notes that “In reply to your [letter]…, prices for overcoat, I inform you that I can do better in this city and shall place my order here. Dated September 29, 1899. 8” x 10” on official Life-Saving Service stationery. Rare First District document in overall clean, crisp condition, signature somewhat smudged, overall much better than my image shows. A great piece to frame. (VG+). $74.
