Item Details

Description

BARNUM, Phineas Taylor (1810-1891). Autograph letter signed ("P.T. Barnum"). Liverpool England, 5 November 1858.
1 page, 5 3/8 x 8 1/8 in., creasing to folds and corners, with small separation to right edge.

Writing to a "Mr. Eno," likely Amos Richards Eno (1810-1898), Barnum requests real estate advice, especially regarding his wife's lease of the American Museum. Barnum asks that, if Mr. Eno is open to providing advice, he meet with Barnum's son-in-law, Mr. Hurd, and the museum's manager, Mr. Greenwood, to offer his views on the subject.

An icon in 19th-century American popular culture, Barnum's American Museum was famously destroyed by fire on 13 July 1865.
