<B>1844 Arthur Comstock Whaling Content Autograph Letter Signed</B></I> “<I>Art. Comstock</B></I>”. Two pages, 7.5” x 12.5”, “<I>on board the ship Parachute</B></I>”, Northwest coast, June 24, 1844, in ink, to his father. An interesting letter from an obviously homesick son to his father which reads in part: “<I>…we have taken seven whales (the boat I belong to…has taken 6 out of 7) we now have over 1700 barrels of oil. Ten more good whales will fill the ship and then we will crowd all sail for New Bedford.</B></I>” The paper is uniformly toned with age and these is one 1” stain that only marginally affects one small are of text, else the letter is in very good condition. <BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Flat Material, Small (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
