Unlike the printed books and building views that usually fill a library subject, this item is a handwritten letter bearing the signature of Thos E French. Before printing became cheap and routine, personal and business letters like this were among the few records of daily life, and libraries and archives gathered them for their content and for the evidence in the hand itself. Viewers can study the slant of the script, the spacing, and the way the signature is formed, since these features help researchers judge when and by whom a letter was written.
