Dear Sir:
I have your letter of December 5, 1921, in reference to my policies Nos. 66574-5 in your company, which mature as endownments December 19th next.
Check can be delivered to me at my office at the above address, 1106 Williamson Building, Cleveland, Ohio.1
Yours very truly, CWC/FLCorrespondent: William T. Mitchell (likely 1871–1935) was Assistant Secretary of the State Mutual Life Assurance Company of Worcester, Massachusetts. By 1931, Mitchell was Manager of Claims and Titles.
1. The Williamson Building, occupied by many prominent Cleveland firms, was a lavish 17-story office building with marble floors and walls on Public Square in downtown Cleveland, Ohio. It stood on the site of the homestead of Samuel Williamson (1776–1834), and in these years was owned by the Williamson Corporation, which was founded by his son Samuel Williamson, Jr. (1808–1884), a railroad-company director, banker, and lawyer whose own son, Judge Samuel E. Williamson (1844–1903) provided Chesnutt with his legal training in the 1880s. Chesnutt's stenography and law practice occupied an office at three different locations (1005, 1105, and 1106) in the building at various times between 1901 and 1924. [back]
