About this book
Letter from Henry M. Morfit to James Curtis Booth, August 15, 1850
Author: James Booth Papers
Year: 1850
Henry M. Morfit (1793-1865) writes to discuss the patent application sent by his son, Campbell Morfit (1820-1897) and James Curtis Booth (1810-1888). Morfit, a claims lawyer in Washington, D.C. and a political figure in the Andrew Jackson presidential administrations, appears to have served as go-between for his son, Campbell, and Booth in their efforts to interest the U.S. Mint in their process for refining gold. James Curtis Booth (1810-1888) was Melter & Refiner at the United States Mint in Philadelphia. The James Booth papers are held by the Science History Institute in Philadelphia. Newman Numismatic Portal sponsored the digitization of the numismatic portions of this material in 2021.
