    Letter of recommendation from the Cleve, Cincy, Chicago & St. Louis RR..
    Although the beautiful handwriting might be a little hard to read, here’s what is written, with just a few punctuation additions.
    Fairmont Indiana June 28, 1893
    To whom it may concern: The bearer, Mr. I. N. Ober has worked for me as an Operator and Bill Clerk. I consider him a careful and trustworthy man. He left the service here in good standing.
    Respectfully,
    J. M. Blaoworayt (I don’t think I am even close on that one.)
    Considering this note is 128 years old it’s in very good condition. Naturally, there are fold lines, and it has dark and a little with age the interesting part is the upper left-hand corner has lots of pin and staple holes. I’m sure it was carried around quite a bit.
    The latter is approximately 5” x 8”. Please contact me before you bid, if you have any questions. This is always been kept in a smoke free home. Thanks for looking!
