Livingston Montana Sebree Ferris White Heavy Shelf Hardware 1889 Letter 8.5 x 11

This July 15, 1889 manuscript letter was written in Livingston, Montana Territory on the letterhead of Sebree, Ferris & White Co, jobbers and dealers in heavy and shelf hardware and agricultural implements.

Regional hardware firms such as Sebree, Ferris & White Co supplied ranchers, merchants, and builders across southern Montana during the late territorial period. Trade correspondence from this era documents the practical realities of frontier commerce, where weather, distance, and transportation conditions directly affected payment schedules and shipment timing.

Addressed to E. W. Knight, Esq., in Helena, the letter explains that draft payment will be sent by Friday mail to cover a note due July 16. The writer notes heavy rain that delayed teams and hindered shipping power, offering a candid glimpse into how environmental conditions disrupted routine business operations.
