Washington State Library's collection of L.L. Zamenhof letters and pamphlets, 1909.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/433097046

This collection consists of two handwritten letters that were written by Zamenhof in April & May 1909. The letters include a typewritten translation of them. The first letter addresses a request from the Esperanto society in Seattle, WA for materials they could use in an exhibit at the Alaska-Yukon Pacific Exposition. He states that he doesn't have much that he could send but does include 2 pamphlets. It is unclear whom the second letter is addressed to but expresses his pleasure with the Saturday Evening Tribune for having a regular Esperanto department. He continues that since he is the official representative of Esperantism that he can not discuss in public socialist, political or religious questions. C.E. Randall, donor, states on the package that the pamphlets are two of the first publications put out by Zamenhof.

Esperanto was developed in the late 1870s and early 1880s by Dr. Ludovic Lazarus Zamenhof, a Jewish ophthalmologist from Bialystok, at the time part of the Russian Empire.
