Up for sale is an exceptional, authentic 1909 illustrated hotel letterhead letter from the historic Hotel Windsor in Manchester, New Hampshire. This beautiful piece of New England history features a highly detailed, crisp architectural engraving of the grand hotel building complete with horses, carriages, and a \"Windsor\" flag flying atop the roof. The letterhead lists notable local proprietors Joseph Quirin and J. H. Dearborn at the top left.
The letter, penned on hotel stationery, is addressed to the Merchants National Bank of Manchester. Signed by G. E. Marshall, it requests a $3.00 deposit credit to their account. While the writer mistakenly penned the year line as \"1907,\" the official purple ink bank receipt stamp firmly corrects the date to August 24, 1909. This desirable bank stamp features a complete clock-dial matrix showing it was processed at approximately 1:00 P.M. A stellar addition to any collection of vintage hotel advertising, New Hampshire history, or turn-of-the-century fiscal ephemera.
