RARE cover and letter to a Matrimony Office asking about their services. This is the 19th Century version of online dating, as far as I can ascertain. The writer is requesting "the particulars" of the office. The writing is sometime difficult to read in some places, with the cursive style a little too flowing for my "mature" eyes, but you'll get the gist of it. Unusual to say the least. I only wish we had the Matrimony Office's reply. Please see photos for more details. [ Ohio
