Soler Y Llach sale 813
Scott #1 tied by red square grid cancel from New York City to Philadelphia dated JAN 28
Addressed to The Misses Wools in care of Miss Anabel at 311 Walnut Street Philadelphia
Not listed in Alexander
The 1849 edition of McElroy’s lists Misses Anabel as teachers at 311 Walnut Street.
Misses Anable's School (often referred to as the Anable School) was a prominent academy for young ladies in 19th-century Philadelphia. The school was run by Misses Belle, Clara and Mary Anabel. Other family members ran similar schools in New Brunswick, NJ and Chicago. The Philadelphia schools was started after 1848 and operated for 30 years.
It is likely that “The Misses Wools” refers to two, or more, daughters attending the school rather than a Mrs. Wools.
