A collection of George Washington letters, over a hundred years old, fetched prices at a recent sale. The auction highlighted historic correspondence linking Washington to early American affairs and personal matters. Proceeds benefited a local historical society and preserved the rare documents for scholars.
A scatter of biographical anecdotes and curiosities features William Stevens Fielding as a reporter, Henry Ward Beecher’s catechism memory, General Wade Hampton’s writing project on cavalry, and Sir Arthur Sullivan composing at a bedside. Other items note Empress Eugenie’s tastes, Verdi’s farming fondness, a Texas Midland reinforcement, Pat Foley the bass, and Mississippian age records in Cape Porpoise. Also covered are Captain Carre de Bellemare’s Napoleonic verse, Bruno Steindel’s precocious Mendelssohn, Kepoolele Apau in Hawaii, and Kilimandjaro rock presented to the German emperor.
