Abstract:
Confirms that he received volume "concerning the great 'Dinner'." "If this splendid specimen of the typography is intended to be emblematical of the brilliancy of the entertainment, it was truly an event worthy to be commemorated." Encloses a letter to Crossley, and requests Stevens to forward it. If Crossley will allow a copy of the pamphlet to be made, "let it be handsomely written on thick letter paper of the common size."Enclosed: Jared Sparks ALS to James Crossley (1880-1883); Cambridge, Massachusetts, 3pp. [1852 ?] January 26. Asks for a manuscript copy of Benjamin Franklin's Liberty and Necessity pamphlet. "Such a copy I suppose would not diminish the value of the impression which you possess." (Note: The William L. Clements Library owns an 1854 facsimile reprint of the Franklin pamphlet, by Charles Whittingham ... from the original edition in the possession of Henry Stevens [1 of 25 copies])
