Letter from Jerome E. Page, 13 July 1891
Independence Mo
Dear Sir if I go into the
project to obtain the manuscript
I do not want the Whitmeres
to understand that you want it
^at^ all now and it will be a big
help to me of course you do not
want what you cant get I want
you to give me your highest bid
on it, but I do not expect to charge
you half of your offer, if i can
make that deal as I expect to
if I go into it I go to win
all I want is one year the out side
Yours Resp[ectfully]
Jerome E Page
Pleas Dyrect my name in full
