Four envelopes unmatched to letters in the collection. All are addressed to Annie E. Wilcox in Smyrna, Chenango County, New York. The first is postmarked at Alexandria, Virginia on December 14, and most probably originally housed the letter of that date in Folder 19 and got separated at some point. The second letter is postmarked at Waverly, [Iowa?] on June 24; the postmark on the third envelope is illegible, and the fourth envelope has no postmark.
