Abstract: Correspondence from zoologist and anthropologist Paul B. (Paul Belloni) Du Chaillu (1835-1903), of New York, to Jennie Carr, dated June 6, 1868, concerning his travel plans, which included a visit to Saratoga for health reasons and a trip to see the Carr family in Castleton, Vermont. Other topics include a voyage her husband, physician Ezra Slocum Carr (1819-1890), was taking. He also writes that he intends to lecture in New England "if I receive enough invitations" and discusses twenty-four paintings he had received depicting animals and the landscape of Africa, which he has used in his lectures.
