The letter was about Mr. Aycock not being able to repay a debt right away. Not sure what he would have needed an attorney for but I sure would like to know. It's dated June 14, 1902.
The really interesting thing about the letter is that it is written on Mr. Aycock's letterhead. As it turns out he was a contractor and woodworker. If he was the original owner of the house and was the builder then that would explain all the nice wood moldings in the house. I've been told by locals that there used to be a lot more elaborate moldings in the house "the likes of which they've never seen before". Unfortunately they were all stolen when the house was being rented out by the previous owner.

that is such an awesome find! I have no history on our home what so ever. That is so impressive that you managed to find something like that on ebay.
I cannot believe you found that on Ebay! What an awesome find!!!
That is sooo cool. I am an avid genealogy researcher... and can't wait to find out who were the first people to live in a 101 year old house I'm buying.
I did a quick search on ancestry.com and found a census record for J.A. Aycock if you want me to email it to you.
Researching is an addiction. lol
