Autograph Letter Signed ('Ge: H: Moore') from George H. Moore, LLD, Librarian of the New York Historical Society to the Boston merchant W. W. Greenough.

2pp., 12mo. 29 lines. On dry high-acidity paper, with a little chipping to extremities and a couple of closed tears, but the only damage to text to the two initials of the name of the recipient 'W. W. Greenough Esqe.', caused by slight loss to the bottom outer corner of the second leaf. He is 'anxious to know' if the copy of 'Part VI. of our "Contributions"' was received by Greenough, and how those sent to 'several other directions' fared. He asks Greenough to ask 'my friend the Judge' to let him know 'the result of his acquisitions in the line of Provincial Laws and Journals of Massachusetts'. 'I do not wish to be inquisitive into secret things - but I occasionally have an offer of things of this sort, which I might refer to the Pub. Lib., if I knew the fragments were desirable there'. He concludes 'Of all places in world to look for such things, Maryland is far enough off, yet i had <?> inquiring as to the value of a fragment of that very volume from Baltimore'.
