A. B. Deming-Dear Sir: The original Spaulding Manuscript in our library has no title. The first page is simply headed "Introduction," and the last page contains the certificate of D. P. Hurlbut and others that the Manuscript is Solomon Spaulding's. The title, "Manuscript Found," prefixed to the Lamoni edition, is the work of the publishers. The paper in which the manuscript was wrapped when Mr. Rice first brought it to me in Honolulu, had inscribed on it, in pencil mark, "Manuscript Story," as I thought in the handwriting of Mr. Rice himself, but was not sure.
Yours very truly,
Jas. H. Fairchild.
