Description

LS signed “J. A. Garfield,” one page both sides, 4.75 x 7.75, House of Representatives letterhead, January 23, 1880. Letter to Isaac S. Lynn, in full: “In reply to your note of the 22nd inst., permit me to say that I should be glad to comply with your request were it in my power, but all my copies of the reports referred have been distributed. There is however an arrangement I believe by means of which the ‘Public Printer’ is allowed to sell at the cost of paper and printing all reports published by the government. It ought to be worth your while to correspond with him on the subject.” In very fine condition.
