Shipping Freight on the Lehigh Valley in 1881 1881 1881

My 92 Mother-in-law passed away this month from Covid (and kidney failure and heart failure).

My wife found this while cleaning out her house.
Had to be from her great grandparents (father's mother's side).
25 cents - What a deal!

That's both in beautiful condition (for a paper item nearing 140 years old!) and it's a minor but, important, part of railroading history.

Probably should try to contact someone with the LV historical society...

That's very cool.  What does it actually say?  All I can make out is "1 hulies, Boxed".  That seems... not right.
