According to an Albany, New York, city directory for 1885, there were eight George Weavers living in the city at that time. Currently, there is not enough evidence to indicate which of the men wrote this letter. For more information, see The Albany City Directory For the Year 1885 (Albany, New York: Sampson, Davenport and Company, 1885), 299.
