(Wayne, General "Mad Anthony"). A letter from Colonel Isaac Wayne, son of "Mad Anthony," 1p, Waynesborough farm, 21 Sept. 1831, to the director of West Chester Science Institute regarding donating the telescope his father used in the Revolutionary War. The telescope "is not among the least of the highly prized mementos of the General" and he appreciates the Institute's desire to possess and display this rare relic. Fine.
Estimated Value $150 - 200.
