Letter from Alexandre Vattemare soliciting participation in an international exchange program he developed. As he indicates: "A place where every State can forward the productions of her intellect, industry, government, and national resources, and exhibit them to Europe, for Paris is the intellectual center of the continent. ... A place where the Government, Writers, Painters, Sculptors, Engravers, Geologists, and others, learned sons of France, can offer their gifts to the members of the American family as a token of brotherly sympathy, and in memory of those glorious days of yore, when their fathers marched shoulder to shoulder over victorious fields with the patriots of '76. ... I have established this depot by request of many of the first men of both continents, and have been appointed as their agent to effect exchanges, by the Legislature of the State of Maine and the National Institute of the District of Columbia. Nor do I hesitate to invite the Legislature of your State to enter into the compact." (Page 3)
