I think this letter was sent from "I T Ives" though I am not certain as I can't quite make out the signature. Perhaps another letter from the same individual will appear from the boxes and offer me another clue.
Isn't it interesting the complete absence of punctuation throughout the letter?
Most curious to me was the word "quinseys." Not a word I've ever heard before but clearly related to an illness as "she has not had them since." A little google research and I discovered that "quinseys" were peritonsillar abscess (PTA) a rare and potentially serious complication of tonsillitis.
