Subject: [Genealib] Abbreviation "ms't"

 

We have a copy of a transcript of a letter dated 27th July, 1883 written
by a United States Consular Agent. Throughout the letter is the
abbreviation "ms't."  It is always preceded by a number, indicating a
date (e.g. ...on the 20th ms't...). Does anyone know what this "ms't"
means?  We would appreciate any help or information. 

 

Thank you.
