Autograph Letter Signed on Office of the Singer Manufacturing Company letterhead.. Two pages, 8 3/4" x 11 ¼". Des Moines. July 10, 1875. Accompanied by a Autograph Note Signed on Office of the Singer Manufacturing Company noting return of lease and inability to find below mentioned lease holder. One page,8 ¾" x 11 ¼. The former letter reads, in part: "...We have not be able to find anyone here by the name of Pauline Silverman. I find but one man here by the name of Silverman and his wife is Hannah so they both say they have no machine but he is a Peddler…This Silverman may be the man, but If so he has changed his name and so has his wife, Perhaps Silverman is not the name that they would go by here I find it is hard work to get anything out of that class of people this is reliable they all hang to each other and will give no information. The house that you directed me 23 Sycamore St. is a boarding house and is owned by Mr. Huhn one of the whitest Jews in Des Moines he thinks thare[sic] has never been any other man by the name of Silverman in Des Moines he said that he would do anything in his power to assist in finding him…." Mounting trace on verso of both letter and note, minor edge wear. Else Very Good.
