Dr. Gerald T. Hunt at the bequest of an A.W. Cooke. Dr. Hunt receives a

The second item, is a TLS signed in ink The Roycrofters to Mr. Cooke

Immortals” and that we will receive their house publication “...regularly

The last item is a 1902 TLS autographed “Elbert Hubbard” (likely by a
clerk) notifying Mrs. Peterson of a book she is receiving that the

the spirit that is able to appreciate these Choice Things…”
