1884: Letter to the Publishers of Every Other Saturday, letterhead from the Post Office of Bar Harbor, Maine

in ,

It seems that someone in Maine had given an honest go at selling a Boston circular called Every Other Saturday. On a Bar Harbor, Maine Post Office Letterhead, our scribe submits:

POST OFFICE,

BAR HARBOR, MAINE,

[…] Aug 1884

To Publisher of

Every Other Saturday

Boston, Mass.

Dear Sir:

I return by this mail 20 Copies of your Paper. I have distributed the sample copies which you sent me to the best advantage but cannot sell any. I think you had better not send any more. I am sorry that I cannot make any sale.

Yours Truly,

[A. J.] Grant
