Rough draft of a letter dealing with the results of A. E. Outerbridge's experiments on the volatilization of standard silver. The letter is unsigned but is written in James Curtis Booth's (1810-1888) hand.
James Curtis Booth (1810-1888) sends Archibald Loudon Snowden (1835-1912), Superintendent of the United States Mint at Philadelphia from 1879 to 1885, Booth's monthly report in which there is a marked loss of silver during daily meltings. Booth speculates upon the reason and suspects a clerical error.
