A two-page letter from the office of E. A. Posselt, Philadelphia textile author and publisher, written on his printed book-advertising letterhead. The letterhead advertises his books The Structure of Fibres, Yarns, and Fabrics, Technology of Textile Design, and The Jacquard Machine Analyzed and Explained, with prices. The handwritten body asks a Mr. Drance to call and asks whether he knows of a boarding house near the school for four prospective pupils.
