Envelope decorated by Charles C. Burleigh, Sr. addressed to his wife, Gertrude Kimber Burleigh of Florence, Massachusetts. Burleigh traveled as an abolitionist speaker and often decorated envelopes sent home.
Envelope made of yellow paper with calligraphic lettering of "G. K. Burleigh" printed diagonally across the envelope surrounded by a grape vine design. The address of "Florence / Mass." is surrounded by a foliate border connected by a bird. The typeface of the letters of the word "Florence" resemble logs. Two postmarks flank the upper left corner.
Inscribed on reverse in pen by the donor: "Envelope decorated by Grandfather Burleigh as was his habit for home letters when he had leisure on a lecture tour."
