- Handwritten letter on "Office of E.B. Ward" stationery, dated April 10, 1874, concerning the potential sale of some silver stocks. The letterhead includes an engraving of E.B. Ward's Warehouse by the Calvert Lithographing Company. The letter reads: Hank[?], I can do nothing with your Sil Stock except I sell it outright or on time with privilege of [?] back at a future time by paying at the rate of three per cent per month. It amounts to this. That if I sell it on time you will only use up the money & some one else will own it at half its value. I would also have to five my note to obtain the money & when due would only have the stock to repay me. The money lenders here are a most [?] set. I tried to get $600 on the stock without giving my note but it was impossible to obtain. Do you wish to sell outright for six hundred dollars. If so I will buy myself, if I can raise the money & sell it to Will[?] if he wishes it & to the Old Grut[?]. Your stock will be worth more in a year & I do not care to see it go out of the family. All well. Mrs. W treats [?] better lately. Business very dull no prospect ahead. [?] Charles[?]
