November 1864 Classified Ad by JWB

[jparkuntz]

While I very much suspect those November ads (dates Steve corrected are accurate--my mistake), relate to JWB, I have to further muddy the waters and let you know I just found 33 ads in the Washington Star between 1864 and 1866 with the phrase "four to six rooms," though several are repeats of the same ad. Like this one from 1864:

"Wanted to rent, on or before October 15, a house containing four to six rooms, furnished or unfurnished. Must be in First Ward and west of 18th street. Address, stating terms, "C D B" Star office."

I'm guessing these might be legislators coming and going, and this was a common specification for a family's needs.
