An absolute hobby treasure! Congrats Leon on accumulating some of the most important pieces of early hobby history. Interesting parallels to today, so much, yet so little, has changed.

Thanks Henry et al........and to further elaborate, if I am not mistaking? in the first paragraph of the letter, it looks like Wagner sent the #521 dupe of Honus (Pontifical Standard) to Burdick for free. If we remember that article David just posted it mentions it. And it mentions how, after returning the $25 three times Burdick finally took the money.

Interesting reading. I can't imagine the amount of work that went into this catalog.
One thing is curious. On the first letter he used the number 1. On the other letters he substituted the letter I for the 1. I wonder if his typewriter was broken?
