December 13, 1895 handwritten 2-page letter from Benjamin Drew

December 13, 1895 handwritten 2-page letter from Benjamin Drew (Plymouth, MA) to his nephew, who is opening a museum (Bangs) in Demorest, GA. In the letter Drew is responding to his nephew's request for artifacts and images from his travels around the world -- images from China, Indian relics, piece of Plymouth Rock, a piece of timber from the wreck of the "Sparrowhawk." Drew also reminisces about the few years in the 1850s when he was Principal of the St. Paul, Minnesota public school system. He also talks about the school that was named after him in St. Paul. Very newsy and personal.
