Original 1956 Hotel Leamington letterhead with its matching illustrated airmail envelope from Minneapolis, Minnesota. The letter measures approximately 6 x 9.5 inches, and the matching envelope is included. The stationery features attractive artwork depicting Hotel Leamington (Minneapolis), Hotel Washington (Indianapolis), and Hotel North Park (Chicago), representing the Benson Hotels of Distinction chain.

The handwritten two-page letter is dated by the Minneapolis postmark of September 4, 1956, and was mailed to Falls City, Nebraska. The writer describes arriving safely at the Hotel Leamington and comments on the hotel's recent renovations, noting a "new lobby – new cocktail room – all modernized." The letter also mentions unloading their car and trailer, joking that onlookers "thought the Indians had landed!" Additional comments describe their unusually large room, continued painting of the hotel, Minneapolis building activity, weather, and travel clothing.

The illustrated letterhead and matching envelope make this an attractive piece for collectors of hotel ephemera, Minnesota history, travel memorabilia, and mid-century advertising.
