So on this being made known
to Mr Peabody he laughed at
me for my wild estimate. However,
to his surprise I backed up
my estimate by offerring to give
a check for the full amount
myself. This I did - & among
the rubbish was this MS. & a
few more, but none of any
value. Mr Peabody bought for
£50 some autograph letters
& a cane of Dr Franklins.
The autographs I had bound,
& they are now in the library of
the Peabody Institute, South Dan-
vers. There ought to have been
important valuable papers of
the Vaughan family, but I do
not think any exist".
