RE-Esquire
Esquire was an ending of a name addressed on a letter to a person with
whom you were doing business. or a person who was a little more than a
common person. my fathers mail always come with Esq.at the end of his
name.It was of a courtesy than anything.but here is the definition from
the British Pears Encyclopedia printed in18 90.
ESQUIRE was formerly something of a distingtive title applied to the
otherwise untitled sons of nobles,also of Nights ,officers officials and
professional men;now used generally as a matter of courtesy in
addressing people who are of good social standing
