New York, [N.Y.], to James Abbott, Detroit, [Mich.]
July 13, 1832, letter of introduction to fur trader James Abbott of Detroit, written by William B. Astor for Mr. Von Braunsberg (Alexander Philip Maximilian, Prince of Wied-Neuwied), who was beginning his two-year natural science expedition to the trans-Mississippi region of North America. The introduction was probably never used, as cholera in Detroit and Buffalo prevented the prince from traveling west via the Great Lakes.
