HIRAM ROBERTS - 1842 Receipt for Services from Law Firm Nicholson & Ormsbee

New England, United States, 1842. Ephemera. On offer is an excellent example of a receipt from mid-19th century New England. Dated June 17, 1842, it records a payment of $2.94 received by Hiram Roberts from the firm of Nicholson & Ormsbee. The receipt was drawn up to record payment for work Roberts did for two persons, presumably at the behest of Nicholson & Ormsbee. Hiram Roberts lived in Brandon VT from 1814 until his death in 1885. Records list him as a painter. Nicholson & Ormsbee was a local law firm. The partners were David E. Nicholson who later became a judge and E. J. Ormsbee. For a local historian or a collector of 19th century financial documents, this is an excellent example of the type of routine business carried out daily in 19th century America. This small document measures 3.5 inches by 8.0 inches. Handwritten on cream-coloured paper, it is in very good condition. The handwriting is quite legible. There is a slight discolouration on the left edge. ; Manuscripts; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 1 pages; Signed by Author. Good with no dust jacket .
