Barnum on a quarrel of the latter with Lola Montez's agent, advises Richard Henry Stoddard to ignore the criticism of Robert Shelton Mackenzie, fulfills a request from James Parton, invites Brantz Mayer to visit, thanks William G. Bryan, arranges to meet Thomas Bailey Aldrich and complements Jane Marsh Parker on her poetry.

The engraving plate for the latter is also present [4 items].
