Hitchcock". The bottom edge of the paper is slightly roughed. Folded twice for mailing. Very good. <p>Hitchcock replies to an invitation to give a lecture: "if I can have Monday Evening Jany. 1st, 1866, I will lecture for $60.00. If I take an evening at your convenience, I shall have to charge $100.00, which, perhaps is too much for my lecture, or any other man's...." Hitchcock's proposed fees in modern dollars would equate to approximately $1,000 and $1,500.<p>Roswell Dwight Hitchcock [1817-1887] was a United States Congregationalist clergyman.
