William T. Robey’s letter to Elliott Perry, asking to trade stamps, with Perry’s handwritten replyOne-page autograph letter signed “W. T. Robey” on Robey’s printed stationery, undated, stating:
In regard to the Periodical enclosed. What value do you place on same and what would you accept for same in the way of Revenues. You know about what my collection contains which is almost intact as you saw it except for a few which I have recently sold.
Perry wrote a pencil draft reply:
Send along perf rev & I will see what I can give at 100% in trade. I have other high periodicals too.
This letter probably predates Robey’s discovery of the Inverted Jenny sheet. It shows the back-and-forth trade between Robey and Perry.
E. 300-400
