Diligence Ticket

Diligence Ticket
A reward of merit dating to the early nineteenth century. According to Patricia Fenn and Alfred P. Malpa's book about Rewards of Merit (1994), pp. 205-6, Henry Dodd and James Stevenson, Jr., were in business together as printers in Salem, New York, from 1814 to 1831.

The "Betsy Bradley" listed on this Diligence Ticket may be the same "Elizabeth Bradley" who received a Reward of Merit for a Good Scholar, 1826.

Diligence Ticket

To Betsy Bradley for diligence in study, is this certificate given.

E. Durham, Ins.

Dodd & Stevenson, Printers, Salem.
