Item #67374 MANUSCRIPT INVOICE FOR TWO LOADS OF LUMBER DELIVERED TO JAMES SKINER, ESQ., HUNTSVILLE [TEXAS], DATED APRIL 21st, 1845. John J. GOODMAN.

MANUSCRIPT INVOICE FOR TWO LOADS OF LUMBER DELIVERED TO JAMES SKINER, ESQ., HUNTSVILLE [TEXAS], DATED APRIL 21st, 1845.

Single sheet, 23 x 20 cm., approx. 120 words, addressed to James Skiner on verso. Old fold lines, lower edge of sheet chipped, ragged, a few small holes in the text affecting a word or two, some uneven fading of the ink (possibly overwritten in places). John Goodman greets his correspondent with "best wishes for your prosperity on this day it being a day our citizens should hold in higher estimation than any other in a nation point of view" [a reference to the Battle of San Jacinto, and the conclusion of the Texas Revolution on April 21, 1836]. He lists the amounts of board feet flooring, sheeting, weathering, and plank delivered to Skiner, his credits for "cash of Fowler, by cakes & beer, [and] by Georges tickett ball room." Goodman hopes Skiner will attend to the balance due as Goodman himself has a debt to pay to a Mr. Burdit. Item #67374
