Description Reilly refers to "my factory," and most letters are on stationary headed: "Office of John Reilly & Son, Carriage, Patent and Enameled Leather, Avenue C, Murray and Astor Streets, Newark."

Note Title and description by Professor Kerby Miller. Professor Kerby Miller notes that: Arnold Schrier collected all five of these John Reilly letters. However, the Reillys who corresponded in 1841 [are] not related to the John and Edward Reilly who corresponded in 1895-1901; also they came from different donors. Manuscript given to Professor Kerby Miller by Professor Arnold Schrier from a private collection.
