I could secure the three manuscripts for $5,625, and having been granted by the Trustees $10,000 for the purchase of new material, I decided to take the matter at once under careful advisement. I went to my hotel, and spent most of the night considering the matter. The more I thought, the more convinced I became that I should not let this remarkable opportunity slip through our fingers. The price was extremely reasonable; indeed, in my judgement, $25,000 would not be unreasonable. And so, early on the following morning, I took a taxi, drove to Quaritch's shop, and completed the purchase. The manuscript reached the Folger Library before I did, and created something like a sensation with Dawson, Willoughby, and McManaway. They were not only delighted, but astonished at the smallness of the cost. We all agree that the three items constitute <u>the most important</u> manuscripts in our keeping.

I could secure the three manuscripts for $5,625, and having been granted by the Trustees $10,000 for the purchase of new material, I decided to take the matter at once under careful advisement. I went to my hotel, and spent most of the night considering the matter. The more I thought, the more convinced I became that I should not let this remarkable opportunity slip through our fingers. The price was extremely reasonable; indeed, in my judgement, $25,000 would not be unreasonable.
