Lizzie Borden Society Forum

In Lizzie's Inquest testimony, she says:

"She [Mrs. Borden] also asked me if I would direct some paper wrappers for her, which I did."

I have no idea what Lizzie is talking about, does anyone know?

Airmid.

I understand the wrappers were for the delivery of the newspaper. The paper charged less if you provided your own addressed wrappers.

I think she was indicating she was writing the family name and address on them.

Here is a link I found describing newspaper wrappers in Victorian times.
