Markham, was heavily involved in the exportation of merinos to Australia. He convinced Australian wool growers that introducing American merinos into the Australia flock would increase their weight, and this was very successful. This letter was found amongst a cache (not included in this listing) of communications to him. Wear commensurate to age, including, potentially: nicks, folds, smudges, rips at edges, stains, old smells, minor rips at folds , small holes, and other imperfections. You get what you see :) Our research notes indicate our best efforts but are not guaranteed to be 100% accurate.
