Description
Letter to Nate [Beers] from P.T. Barnum, December 31, 1882 In this letter to Nate Beers, the cousin of P.T. Barnum's wife, Charity, Barnum writes that he is in robust health at age 72-1/2 and enjoying life. He wishes Beers a Happy New Year. P.T. Barnum wrote a large number of letters in his time, and as a public figure, recieved 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.
