Scope and Content Information

Samuel Iraneus Prime writes to Rufus Wilmot Griswold requesting a biographical sketch of a Reverend Prof. Moses Stuart, recently deceased, apparently to write an obituary in the N. Y.

Also mentions the pay scale for providing such information (by the printed column, at 4 dollar/column).
