I happened to mention to the proprietor of an antiques barn near here one day that I’d be interested in any old typewriters she might happen to come across. A conversation ensued, the proprietor withdrew into a back room, and she re-emerged with an old handwritten letter, dated 18 Sept. 1825 and spanning nearly three pages. The letter—penned by Samuel Clarke, a Princeton, Massachusetts, pastor—sought donations for the victims of an accident at sea. I thought his script unique, stylistic, and definitely something worth digitizing. Had to come up with several uppercase letters to round out the set, but the results seem good and proper.* $39 | Order
