Thos. Boult & Co., general lottery agents

Circular letter selling tickets for upcoming lottery drawing, from Thomas Boult & Co. "From what we can learn of public sentiment in your state, we are satisfied that there is among your people a strong prejudice against dealing in lotteries and feeling that this want of confidence cannot be removed until some person draws a good prize, who will make it known, we offer you the chance of a handsome prize..." Dated Feb. 17, 1865; drawing to be held March 31, 1865, in Covington (?).
