Description
Letter to Mayor R.J. Clark and others from P.T. Barnum dated from June 6, 1874. The letter thanks them for a dinner held in Bridgeport in honor of Barnum. Written on Waldemere stationary. P.T. Barnum wrote a large number of letters in his time, and as a public figure, received many in return. These manuscripts offer insight into his personal life via correspondence with friends and family, his business interests including the American Museum and the circus, and his personality. The various correspondents demonstrate how vast his social circle was, and the space he occupied as a public figure during his own lifetime.
