    Description

    FOR SALE, AN INCREDIBLE PIECE OF OLD WEST, TEXAS HISTORY. THIS IS AN ORIGINAL ENVELOPE THAT CONTAINED ANSWERS GIVEN TO INTERROGATORIES BY A PERSON IN GONZALES COUNTY, TEXAS. IT WAS MAILED TO THE CLERK OF THE DISTRICT COURT OF CALDWELL COUNTY TEXAS, SPECIFICALLY THE CITY OF LOCKHART, TEXAS, NOT FAR FROM AUSTIN. THIS AUCTION IS JUST FOR THE ENVELOPE, THERE ARE NO CONTENTS. IT STATES THIS WAS RECEIVED FROM THE POST OFFICE ON OCTOBER 10, 1858. CONDITION, FOR ITS AGE AND WHAT IT IS, IS VERY GOOD. LOOK AT THE SCANS FOR YOURSELF AND I THINK YOU WILL AGREE.
