Thank you for that link. It's interesting to me that the writer thinks 
that MT"had a knack for negotiation". From reading  the MTP 
autobiographies about some of the contracts that he signed, I would have

On another topic, the Smithsonian has an article about James Redpath 
that you might find interesting.
