Description

AGASSIZ LOUIS: (1807-1873) Swiss-American Biologist and Geologist. A.L.S., L Agassiz, two pages, 8vo, Cambridge (Massachusetts), 15th November 1862, to a Gentleman. Agassiz informs his correspondent that 'Among the names I heard you mention as likely to contribute to the museum is that of Th. Lyman. Under the circumstances it is proper that I should inform you that for the last three years, he has privately given a thousand dollars a year towards helping the work of the museum…' Continuing 'I know Mr. Ticknor alone is informed of the fact though I have reported the donation anonymously to the Board of Trustees.' Further adding 'Mr. Nathaniel Thayer has been in the habit of giving me annually 4 or 5 or 6 hundred dollars of which nobody knows nothing accept Mr. Ticknor…' Concluding 'Mr. G. A. Shaw has also contributed 500 dollars last summer… These items have been accounted for to the Faculty of the museum which audits my accounts.' Together with, A.L.S., L Agassiz, one page, 8vo, Cambridge (Massachusetts), 6th June 1858, to John T. Morse. A short note on which Agassiz informs his correspondent 'It will give me great pleasure to join the party of the Directors and Treasurers… absence from Cambridge on Saturday and the intervening Sunday has prevented me from answering your note sooner.' With light creasing, one small staple hole, not affecting signature or text, and minor age related wear, otherwise G, 2
