A scarce and historically interesting handwritten political letter dated October 15, 1847, written from Windsor, Vermont and addressed to Hon. Dyer Story at Montpelier during his service in the Vermont House of Representatives.
Stampless Cover.
The letter is written on a folded sheet with integral address panel and postal marking. It shows expected age toning, fold lines, and a small hole at center, as seen in the images.
The writer signs as A. Wardner, very likely Allen Wardner (1786–1877) of Windsor, a prominent Vermont banker and legislator. The content strongly supports this identification, as the letter discusses legislative strategy surrounding a bank bill, committee handling, and political maneuvering within the state government.
The recipient, Dyer Story, was a member of the Vermont House of Representatives, making this a direct piece of mid-19th century state-level political correspondence.
Content highlights include:
- Discussion of a proposed bank-related bill
- Mention of commissioners and committee process
- Insight into legislative timing and opposition strategy
