Description
Letter to Wheeler and Wilson Co. from P.T. Barnum, June 20, 1881 In this letter, Barnum request that a sewing machine be sent to Mr. and Mrs. Beers, any they select, and send the bill to your house at Bridgeport. M. Percy will collect it from my office, at the same rate Barnum has always paid. 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.
