PRIZES LETTERS
100 YEARS OLD
West Orange Man Possesses
Quaint Correspondence of
Princeton Resident.

Quaint relics of correspondence in
vogue more than a century ago are
the treasured possessions of George
M. Craig, of 1886 Valley road. West
Orange. The letters are in splen-
did state, and while the paper is sere
and yellow the writing is clear and
distinct, and compares most favor
ably with present day missives in
legibility and construction. The ink
has been dimmed but little and the
words are fashioned almost as care
fully as copper plate inscriptions.
William Henderson, of Princeton,
received the letters from 1904 up to
later date, and several interesting
ones are signed by James Pennall
The people in the British isles CEN
fury ago were keenly interested in
affairs in this country, as the several
letters Indicate Mr.. Henderson was
said to be a relative of Parnell, the
Irish leader. He evidently planned
to go to the South, as one letter to
him, written in Charleston Septem-
Der A. 1909, is evidently reply to
questions about opportunities for
young man there Things were evil
IDENTIFY satisfactory before the en-
barge took place." the letter of James
Pennall stated.
That there was just as much diff
ficulty in disposing of cotton in 1909
as exists today was shown in the
same letter. 81 have now got 100
bales of cotton lying in Boston," he
wrote, land not one sold.'
One of the best preserved papers in
a reference to the effect that the
writer knows civilian Henderson to
be man of good character" A let
ter from ireland dated 1894 gives the
information about the cost
of living, as interesting a topic then
as 1t is now: Pork, 30 shlllings per
cwt.; beef. IS to 40 per cwt. The
letters were sent without envelopes,
the letter being folded and sealed,
then addressed on the smooth side.
