Description

ALS, one page, 6.75 x 8, September 4, 1875. In part: "Yours rec'd—Dwight Manning told me today your salary was $1300 per year & no perquisites. I hoped you would sell & pay me up before leaving—as I very much want more money than I shall have to spare this fall. If you can't do this I suppose I must lend you $500—or $1000 if absolutely necessary & will do so upon your sending me a note." In very good condition, with moderate overall soiling.
