Nov.27, 1896. 2 page file copy letter from "T.H.Freeland" at ABNC in New York written to C.H.Sanford, Esq. in regards to producing banknotes for Argentina. Argentina wanted a completely printed specimen on the final paper to be used and ABNC suggested that it would be impractical since the note sizes and designs were not approved and that they suggest that proofs or models be sent first with samples of the paper to be used instead. It was also suggested by Sanford to ABNC that they should consider using the British type of paper and printing which Freeland, from ABNC, explained was very easy to counterfeit and that the paper used on English notes would not last as long as the higher quality hard finished linen fiber paper ABNC used on their notes. Signed by Freeland as Secretary and Manager. Rare and historic content letter from ABNC archival correspondence file. ABNC.
