AI Disclosure: AI was used to assist with researching and describing this historical item.
Original 1891 handwritten letter on an elaborate illustrated Olympia, Washington letterhead, measuring approximately 8.25 x 11 inches. The large engraved-style header presents a panoramic waterfront view of Olympia with ships and steamboats, Mt. Rainier, and a vignette of the proposed new Capitol Building. Advertising at upper left promotes Young\'s Additions and gives E. T. Young, Young\'s Hotel as the address.
The letter is addressed to E. T. Young and signed Philip Webster, Tacoma, Washington. Webster discusses a financial and real-estate matter involving Capt. Burns, a mortgage, and property. He states that Burns is willing to take a second mortgage on the undivided half interest for $2,000 to $2,500, with the balance to be secured by other property. The letter also mentions San Francisco, where Burns was expected to leave for an extended stay, making it important that the mortgage arrangements be completed promptly.
A particularly attractive piece of early Washington State ephemera combining Olympia territorial-era/early statehood imagery, hotel advertising, real estate development, mortgage dealings, Tacoma correspondence, maritime imagery, and an architectural view of the proposed Washington Capitol. Washington had achieved statehood only shortly before this letter was written.
