[4] pp. Printed on recto of first page only. Inner pages blank. Addressed in ink on last page to Honble. Samuel W. Parker of the House of Representatives. Roughness to blank inner margin, one short closed tear [expertly repaired]. Printed in two columns separated by a rule. Very Good. "Fair Play" is evidently a consortium of ocean mail steamers opposing efforts by competitors- - "sailing vessels, or other ships propelled by steam"- - who seek government support to diminish the market for ocean mail steamers. Congressman Parker, of Indiana, served as such from 1851-1855. We suggest that this item was printed during that period. Not located on OCLC as of July 2025.
