The image is a formal letter or application on aged paper. At the top left corner is a notation "[9-14-35-VM.]". At the top center is the seal of "BOSTONIA CONDITA A.D. 1830. CIVITATIS REGIMINE DONATA A.D. 1822."

The letter is addressed "To the BOARD OF HEALTH, BOSTON, MASS." and is written in a formal, legalistic style. It requests a permit to occupy rooms, specifically within the basement or cellar of a building, for both living and sleeping purposes. The applicant is referring to Chapter 628 of the Acts of 1914, indicating the legal basis for the application. There are lines for the applicant to fill out their name, address, and the type of building (tenement house or otherwise), the location of the rooms, and the number of rooms for sleeping and living. The word "Ward" is written on the blank space provided and would be filled in as well. There is a small decorative element between "Address" and "Building", and a small symbol at the bottom.
