Benson John Lossing to Col. Frank M. Etting

Extent:

3 p.

Scope and content:

[Answers a June 1866 letter which had arrived while he was in the South and had just surfaced. Says he wrote to Brantz Mayerfor Etting's address. Encloses some photographs and returns the autographs of Count Rumford (pseudonym of Benjamin Thompson). Speaks of his procrastination in making a drawing of the seal, but says he has now done both it and the signature. Asks if he has the motto on the ribbon, tells how he reads it and questions the repeat of the word "lege." Mentions Edward Young. ]
