Hackley) and the recipient (Henry Orman). It’s definitely that time frame. Orman graduated from State College of KY in 1896. (See my other auctions for Commencement Announcement). Letter is 20 pages (10 pages both sides written). Both studied in engineering (electrical and mechanical). Most paperwork I am or will be listing in the next month or 2 are from the descendants of Orman. Hackley talked a bit about his Harvard studies (engineering – of which I know nada). In great shape. (Sorry there is no envelope.) This info found via Google about Hackley - published in Mt Vernon Signal Newspapers, Rockcastle Co SEPT 29, 1899 "J.G. Hackley of Lincoln county a nephew of the editor of the Signal left Saturday for Harvard University, Boston. he will finish up his studies in electrical engineering a science he has been much interested in for several years" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hope this helps someone!
