Item description

Original early-20th-century handwritten family letter on W. Mishoe, Real Estate and Insurance letterhead from Soperton, Georgia. The letter is addressed “Dear Judy” and appears to be signed “Your Sister, L. Mishoe.” The printed date line begins “190—,” but the writer did not fill in the exact date. The correspondence discusses Judy’s health and recovery, family illnesses, relatives and neighbors, horse and land trading, gardening, hired help, sore eyes, and plans for possible visits. It provides an intimate glimpse into everyday family life in rural Georgia during the early 1900s. The letter appears to consist of two letterhead sheets with writing on multiple sides. Several personal names are mentioned, although portions of the handwriting are difficult to interpret with certainty. No envelope is included. Condition is consistent with age and family storage, including original mailing folds, toning, scattered staining, creases, small edge tears, light surface soiling, and ink show-through from the reverse. The handwriting remains generally clear and largely legible. Please review all photographs carefully for the exact wording, page count, and condition. An appealing piece of Georgia history, Soperton business ephemera, Mishoe family genealogy, early real-estate letterhead, and antique handwritten correspondence. The buyer will receive the exact original letter shown.
