Fragmentary 19th century notes mix biographies and odd facts
A garbled miscellany cites Filips Inannis Parestrelle and Beatrice Enriques as relatives of Colum en, mentions Fernando Columbus as his biographer, notes R M T Hunter and Henry Clay as young speakers in Congress, and records John F Richardson’s death in Louisiana. It also recounts Wilhelm’s train incident, Ethan Allen’s sword, a proposed U S leper hospital, Maxwel Somerville’s cameo, a forged McKinley letter, Norra of Peru, a Central Park snake, and a Brazilian Countess’s eccentricities amid disjointed anecdotes.
