602 Early ABNC Correspondence File 1883-1893.Rio de Janeiro,
Brazil. Series of 10 different letters from Mr. A.J.Lamoureux, Editor
of “The Rio News” that was printed in Rio de Janeiro 3 times a
month for the shipping industry, to ABNC dated from October,
1882 to November 1893. Historic and interesting correspondence
file from ABNC Archives stapled to manila file folder relating to a
number of interesting items. His first 3 letters, dated 1882 and 1883
are addressed to Albert G.Goodall, President of ABNC. The first
of these discuss the Baldwin Locomotive Works, which evidently
had a branch in Brazil and also advertised in his newspaper and a
preprinted circular describing the Rio News, pasted to a sheet of
paper is included; The second letter discussed ABNC’s request to
Mr. Lamoureux to obtain 2 specimen books filled with banknotes,
one from ABNC and the other from Continental BNC, formerly held
by one of its agents in Rio who disappeared to Uruguay (evidently
due to financial problems); The third letter discusses his success in
obtaining a “portfolio of loose specimens of bonds, cheques, notes,
etc.” and asks for information on what to do with them. An 1890
letter discusses the interest of “Companhia Lupton, Sao Paulo” in
having ABNC to print shares for the company; Additional letters
requestsABNC to print colanders forThe Rio News and also for other
companies; the poor state of the English Hospital in Rio and request
for financial help; One of the highlights of the correspondence in a
letter dated 15th November, 1893, is his stating “...accept my sincere
apologies for this delay....I have been in so much confusion since this
revolution broke out...”; another letter discusses further calendar
printing requests and hospital news.The file ends with a list of letters
