STEER BROTHERS AND GENERAL MERCHANTS
1910 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT HANDWRITTEN LETTER FROM NEWFOUNDLAND IMPORTERS THE STEER BROTHERS TO A SUPPLIER DETAILING A BUSINESS TRANSACTION SOON TO TAKE PLACE BETWEEN THEM
St. JOHN'S NEWFOUNDLAND CANADA 1910. On offer is a short and interesting handwritten letter by the Steer Brothers Importers and General Merchants of St. John's Newfoundland to a Mr. James Storgood. The letter is dated August 17th 1910. It details a recent telegraph between the Steer Brothers and Mr. Storgood for a large purchase. We telegraphed you to get us 150 brls. Squid Salted at $2.50 per barrel. The brothers will be sending the steamer Floria to pick it up. It also says in red ink presumably written by a different Steer brother that we are sending you our house flag by thursday morning train and implored Mr. Storgood to Hoist our flag Friday Morning so that steamer will know where to go to pick up the salted squid. The latter is a very simple but interesting look into the daily business of a Newfoundland general store in the early 20th century. The letter is one page long in good condition. The handwriting is legible and easy to read in black ink. The letter is written on stationery from the Steer Brothers themselves showing them to be located at 379 381 383 Water Street St. John's Newfoundland. Background: John Steer Ltd. a dry goods firm was established by John Steer at St. John's Newfoundland ca. 1860. His sons entered the business in 1890 but the firm failed in the Bank Crash of 1894. John Steer and his sons formed a new company John Steer and Sons which became Steer Brothers and later Steer Ltd. The firm was bought out by a group headed by Calvert Pratt in 1925. Good. Folio - over 12" - 15" tall. Manuscript. unknown

MOSES and ELIZABETH STARR
1797 TWO 2 ORIGINAL HANDWRITTEN LETTERS FROM LOVING PARENTS WHO HAVE JUST RELOCATED TO WEST VIRGINIA TO THEIR DAUGHTER FROM WHOM THEY HAVE NOT HEARD FROM IN NUMEROUS YEARS
NEW FRANKFURT HARRISON CO. WEST VIRGINIA 1797. On offer is are two lovely and fascinating letters from a father and mother to their daughter detailing their situation mere weeks after moving to New Frankford Virginia. The letter is signed Moses Starr and Elizabeth Starr and addressed to their Dear Daughter. The first letter is dated November 17th 1797 and the second is dated December 23 1797. In the letters they describe their journey to their new home in West Virginia their home and their farm. They now live in New Frankfurt in Harrison County Simpsons Creek Eight Miles From Clarkburg. The first letter begins Dear Daughter we embrace this opportunity to wright to you informing thee that we are all in great haealth at present thanks bea to God for his tender Merceys to us ward from time to time. They write that they have we have had no letters from thee this two years.and have had no opertunity to send any. We long to see thee and hear from thee if thou art single write whether thou would incline to come upon and live with us we think of comeing Down within two years more; like wise let us know how our Relations are in them parts.The back of the letter is a short sermon like passage stating Dear child strive to ear and Love God who is able to Love the utmost oall that come to him through Jesus Christ the Redeeme of lost Man. The next letter begins with them writing that they have received her last letter which gave us some cause to rejoice of hearing from our relations in general but gave us concern of mind for the loss of Nelly Starr and the disolate state of Uncle Joseph. They then remark on the their life in what is now West Virginia. Thy mother was braught to be of a daughter the Eleventh of last month wich we call Polly. They speak of their journey to Virginia taking two weeks from when they left their home. The farming has been good a well reaping 200 bushals of Sound Corn and 150 bushals of Oats with a trifel of buck wheat. I have 20 acres of wheat and Ry in the ground this fall. The letter ends with the usual pleasantries and again is signed by Moses and Elizabeth Starr. The two letters are in fair shape both having a fair share of rips tears and discoloration. The first letter has some moth damage that affects the readability of a sentence or two. The second letter has its tears along the creases and edges but it does not affect the content at all. Neither does the discoloration on either letter though it is very noticeable it does not block out any words. The ink on both letters has faded the first more than the second but both letters are fairly easy to read throughout. These letters are an interesting little snapshot of a family life in 1790s Virginia representing a change in a brand new America and hope for a new setting in this burgeoning nation. Good. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Manuscript. unknown

Shouse to a Mr. Lawrence Mossby concerning the hiring of of Mr. Shouse to charter and pilot a ship to haul cargo for Mr. Mossby.

Mr. Shouse answers a number of questions posed by Mr. Mossby in his last letter giving 9 answers to his questions. It seems Mr. Shouse is a ship captain being recruited by Mr. Mossby to pilot a ship that he has chartered. Your letter of March 6th which I told you of my last I now endeavour to answer in detail.I have answered the recent and will be wary of most on the 15th of June. Answer 2. The price is $200. Could not do better. Answer 3. According to the account I have heard she is comfortable roomy and clean. The letter proceeds in this form seeming to disagree with the price Mr. Mossby wants to pay for his ship Vessel is about 35 tons about 15 tons larger than and as a vessel of 35 tons cannot be had at a price unless for a longer time. I chartered her for one 1/2 months. He goes on to say Answer 5. I will settle the price when you come I will not be too hard on you. He also says he will arrange the men to work on the crew. As you have altered your plan coming to Port au Basque I will not take any men from here. We can get them where we to and returning here will pick up our men here thus saving expense. I will have them June 3rd for Port au Basque as I little time to look after the vessel as I have not seen her having accepted her on recommendation. The men I take from here will get $2.00 a day. The Captain provisions his crew as you desired. He then writes discouraging Mr. Mossby from bringing his canoe on board as my boat will do and if we need one.we can have one. I am arranging to save expense but as far as the canoe is concerned it is certainly a matter of your own choice. The letter is one double-sided page long handwritten in black ink. The writing is legible but the script can be a bit difficult at times to decipher. The letter shows signs of wear and there is some small discoloration around the folded crease marks. The crease marks also make the words around them slightly more difficult to decipher. Good. Folio - over 12" - 15" tall. Manuscript. unknown
