Perhaps due to their production of what is known as the first baseball card in 1869, the Peck & Snyder company has long been associated with the hobby.  The New York based company was opened in 1866 by Andrew Peck and Irving Snyder, to capitalize on the growing popularity of baseball in the Reconstruction era. Presented here are three different letters (and two envelopes), handwritten by Andrew Peck on company letterhead.  Each letterhead style is different.  The collection includes: 1) 1874 Letter: Letter and mailing envelope to James Staley, a very personal letter dated February 21 that seems to refer to some marital issues between Peck and his wife, and a request for information about "my wife's conduct." Written in beautiful penmanship, the letterhead features red illustration and type. VG condition, legible with long-ago folds from mailing. 2) 1975 Letter: Another letter and envelope to Staley, dated August 30, this time regarding the purchase and shipment of a new piano. The letter is a bit more casually written, signed "Andrew," and appears in EX condition save for the folds from long-ago mailing. 3) 1876 Letter: Another casual, but longer, letter to "Jimmie" (without envelope), written on both front and back, with more personal content.  EX condition save for folds from long-ago mailing.  Three letters total.
