Lot Description
BARNUM, Phineas Taylor (1810-1891). Autograph letter signed ("P.T. Barnum"). [Museum?] 11 February 1867.
1 page, 4 5/8 x 7 3/8 in., creased at folds, with some separation to creases, adhesive and paper residue to upper right edge and verso, spots of staining and toning throughout.
Barnum offers to lecture for the recipient, "R[?] A Lewis," for a modest amount, "one third of the guests receipts." He mentions that he is enclosing a syllabus of the lecture, though that is not included here.
Property from the James Milgram, M.D., Collection of Broadsides, Ephemeral Americana, and Historical Documents
