(Castlemon, Henry)  ALS, 1 1/2 pp., August 23, 1869. Written by H.P. B. Jenette of R. W. Carroll & Co., Cincinnati Booksellers. A reply to an inquiry from William A. Wheeler about the real name of the author of Tom Newcomb.  He states that "we shall probably not divulge the real name, for the reason that having some very popular books, we do not care to have the Eastern publishers try to seduce him from the part of virtue and our interests." Written on company stationery, with ads on the back. Very good.
