1921 Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Letter Fertilizer Shipment Conway SC # 1172

Original March 21, 1921 business letter on attractive Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company letterhead from Conway, South Carolina. Addressed “Dear Uncle William,” the typed letter discusses a farm-supply order and related railroad shipments. It records 30 bags of 8-2-2 fertilizer sent to Cool Spring, a railroad car ordered for Gurley, South Carolina, and plans to ship additional soda and cottonseed meal from Conway. The writer also discusses payment by note due May 1 and asks whether any additional goods are needed. The letter appears to be personally signed J. T. Mishoe. Additional handwritten notes, prices, calculations and a brief postscript appear along the lower margin and on the reverse, showing that this was an actively used business document rather than unused stationery. The decorative letterhead features the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company name and circular route emblem, adding railroad and regional-history appeal. Although written on railroad stationery, the correspondence primarily documents South Carolina agricultural commerce, fertilizer distribution and freight transportation. Condition is consistent with age and working use, including original folds, overall toning, creases, scattered spotting, small holes, minor edge wear and numerous period handwritten calculations. The typed text, letterhead and signature remain largely clear and legible. No envelope is included. Please review all photographs carefully for exact wording and condition. An appealing original piece of Atlantic Coast Line Railroad history, Conway and Horry County history, South Carolina agricultural commerce, fertilizer advertising, Mishoe family genealogy and early-20th-century business correspondence. The buyer will receive the exact original letter shown.
