Autograph note signed to [Bohte -see #s2051 and 2053].

Radcliffe Librarian. One page, 4to, edges discoloured, text clear and complete. "I should gladly have availed myself of your obliging offer, if we had not already in the Library all the published works of Humboldt[.] They have been consequently purchased at a very high rate - But heavy as the charge must be, & inconvenient as it often is to take works in progress or at the first moment of publication, we cannot very well suspend our orders woth respect to articles of so much novelty & interest--" See #2051 for further cross-reference.
