INTERNATIONAL BUYERS:
? The shipping rates shown are for '1st Class International Package' with tracking.
? Ebay is also promoting their EIS International Shipping program on sellers pages. I do not use this program because it is more expensive, slower, not very transparent, and frustrating to the buyer, if something goes wrong. Do not select it, if ebay does show it as an option.
Thank you.
Portrait of: CHARLES EMORY SMITH  editor of the Philadelphia Press and Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States to Russia born at Mansfield, Connecticut, February 18th, 1842.

He was offered the position of Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to Russia by President Harrison, greatly to his surprise, as he had declined to permit his name to be presented to the President by various Pennsylvania citizens who had pressed him to make formal application for the post . About one week before his appointment he was in Washington , press ing the claims of another Pennsylvania gentleman for the position . While listening to his appeal for another, the President had made up his mind to offer the appointment to him . The nomination was presented to the Senate on February 10th and unanimously confirmed four days later. Mr. Smith at once began preparations for his departure and sailed from New York on the Trave , of the North German Lloyd line, on the 2d of April . Before sailing numerous dinners and farewell receptions were tendered him , notably among them being a magnificent banquet by the Union League of Philadelphia , followed shortly after by an equally flattering gathering in his honor by the Journalists ' Club . The Trave arrived at Southampton April 10th and Mr. Smith at once set out for St. Petersburg .
