Frank Boott Goodrich (d.1894), author, son of Samuel Griswold Goodrich (1793-1860) ['Peter Parley'] [Robert R. Corson, Corresponding Secretary, Union Volunteer Refreshment Saloon]
Publication details: 
New York. 17 July 1860.
£180.00

2pp., 12mo. Bifolium. Good, on lightly-aged paper. The letter concerns Goodrich's 'The Tribute Book: A Record of the Munificence, Self-sacrifice and Patriotism of the American People during the War for the Union' (1865). He is sending 'proofs of the pages Corson desires to see. 'The first few pages are printed & cannot be changed: in the others, anything vital can be corrected.'; He thinks Corson 'will find that I have fallen into none of the errors you are apprehensive of'. To do so would have been 'unpardonable', as Goodrich 'had full information from which to make my articles'.
