A friend of Gavioli has just inherited an autograph of Christopher Columbus, and would like to sell it. He wants someone to sell it for him. He asks if Metayer would not be interested since in America such treasures are sold at great prices. He describes the autograph and states that 10,000 francs had been offered in France and 50,000 by an Englishman. He would like to know how much he can expect for such a treasure. He also promises Metayer's daughters a book of women's fashions. :: III-3-b A.L.S. French 3pp. 8vo.
