Lot 8

Mann, president of the New York Academy of Anthropology, acknowledging the importance of the Academy's work and regretting that he cannot give a lecture there because "having again entered upon the practice of the law it will be impossible for me to do my duty to others and myself and acceptably comply with your request."
