<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SBSVC, post: 108907, member: 136&quot;]There is a rare book dealer in Philadelphia who is offering the following for $2500:</p><p><br /></p><p><i>Business Archive of Charles L. Clark, merchant of Westbrook, Middlesex County, Connecticut, including Correspondence, Ledgers, and Ephemera, as well as related material of William N. Kirtland, 1856-1952</i></p><p><br /></p><p>The description says:</p><p><br /></p><p><i>Large archive consisting of: 138 letters (189 pp.), 28 volumes of business ledgers, accounts, and memorandum books (5,500 pp.), plus approximately 1,068 pieces of paper and manuscript ephemera, including checks, letterhead business receipts, newspaper clippings, brochures, circulars, used envelopes, post cards, etc., as well as essays and verse. Letters date from 1857 to 1939, with the bulk of the correspondence and ephemera dated between the years of 1870 and 1910.
