Who, exactly, owns these letters? Presumably it is not you, so do you
have any right to offer them to the list?

Hi, back on the list after years of absence... to pass along a goodie
to someone who will put it to use.
So, I just received this message from someone on another list:
**********************************************
I'm in NYC, and a basement vault in a building I frequent is full of
clothing related correspondence from the early 1900's. I was able to
reach into the frozen door far enough to grab a hand-full of letters
and at least a few were a hoot. (I may have lost those samples)
Mainly about socks. They were insanely expensive! $50 or more in
todays money. And this guy go on for pages of florid text about why he
is not interested in whatever offer was being made, must have spent
half a day typing that.
There's about 10 linear feet, if you or anyone wants to get those,
you're welcome.
**********************************************
So, anyone interested in a bunch of early 20th-c clothing data?
