    Proposed purchase of the Cesnola Collection (the Cypriot finds still in Cyprus/stored abroad) for exhibition at the Philadelphia Centennial. Cesnola asked $60,000 in gold (accepting $50,000), told Baraezi to deal through Hiram Hitchcock (power of attorney), and offered him a commission of $3,000 or $2,500 (5% as he told Hitchcock). No sale resulted in this account.
