The Museum has an extensive numismatics collection – this letter shows how it was built up.
January 20, 1897
Dr. H. R. Storer,
Newport, R. I.
Dear Doctor:
Your letter of the 17th inst. Has been received. I shall be glad to purchase the medals you offer at the prices quoted, viz:
Rokitansky, 6.10
Howard, Am. Jour. Num., 687, .35
“ “ “ 689, .35
“ “ “ “ 726, .50
------
$7.30
You may send them by Adams Express, freight to be paid here. We have Howard, Am. Jour. Num., #688.
The famine, Germany (Danket dem Herrn) seems to be identical with Pfeiffer u. Ruland #157, but ours has “Ps. 116,” and I can notice no defacement.
Very sincerely,
D. L. Huntington
Deputy Surgeon General, U.S. Army
In charge of Museum and Library Division
