CYRUS FIELD LS. 1 page. 5” x 8”. New York, 8 April 1872. “Could you kindly give me an idea of the value of the following work, which a lady in embarrassed circumstances is anxious to dispose of & thinks would be a great acquisition to some Public Library or Institution. The work is an account of the U.S. Exploring Expedition to the South Seas under Commodore Charles Wilkes . I am informed that 60 copies only were published & that it consists of 36 volumes or more.” Excellent.
