<div><font face="georgia, serif">The Brown University Library has just brought to light, from its casual hiding place in a book long in our collections, a copy of Paul Revere's print "Buried with Him by baptism". It's quite rare, and I've spent a few hours on the Internet tracking down copies. It seems possible that you have one of them.</font></div>

It sounds as if it must have moved back downstairs, and I wonder if it is among your treasures currently. At this point it would be (counting our newly unearthed copy) one of five known copies, and a very nice thing to have--certainly that's our opinion of it.</font></div>
