1002 CONGRESSIONAL PEOCEEDINGS. 



We should consider the acquisition of the collection of great importance, and its 

 removal from our cases would make a noticeable gap in the Japanese series. 



The price at which the collection is offered is a reasonable one, as the articles, if 

 sold separately, would probably bring a considerably larger amount. 

 Very respectfully, 



Spencer F. Baird.
