1p. circular letter. Signed in print by Robinson. Addressed in holograph on verso to the Master of the Scipio Lodge in Aurora New York, Natchez postmark. 4to. An ephemeral circular letter soliciting subscriptions to among the rarest early American maps: Robinson's Map of Mexico, Louisiana and the Missouri Territory (Philadelphia: 1819). Robinson had served as a physician on Zebulon Pike's expedition to the southwest and his large-format wall map included the routes of both that expedition and the explorations of Lewis and Clark. It was the first map to delinate the boundary between Louisiana and Texas as per the Adams-Onis Treaty, and according the Prospectus, contained "the latest and best information from the discoveries and possessions of the American, Spanish, Russian, British and French travellers and navigators, and representing the claims of their respective governments in the North western coast of America." The map is very rare, known only in ten copies, with the last example appearing on the market being the Thomas W. Streeter copy, selling in 2018 for $350,000. This circular letter was sent by Robinson with a conjoined Prospectus. The Prospectus, not present here, gave a description of the map, terms for purchase ($15) and space for subscribers to sign their names and record their addresses. Once completed by the subscriber, the Prospectus was detached from the circular letter and returned to the publisher. Both McMurtrie and Shaw & Shoemaker give the circular letter and prospectus separate listings in their respective bibliographies.
