William N. (William Nicholson) Jeffers letter to Richard H. Kern
Manuscripts
Jeffers writes of a commodore who wishes to hire an artist for sketching an upcoming expedition to the West. However, there are insufficient funds available, and the resulting sketches could not be kept for private use, for they will be sent to the government. Jeffers writes, "I hope your love of adventure will induce you to accept." Apparently, Richard Kern then forwarded this letter to his brother Edward, along with a short note, to see if Edward might be interested in the opportunity.
