If you had given me the choice of all your nice things I should have certainly taken the 'Prius' [underlined] at once. I have always envied you the ownership of it, ever since the first time I saw it. I am sincerely yours, John Robinson." Maker's mark on the front, lower proper left: "Copyright 1880 by L.
