Letter to Harry George from Elizabeth Brandon Stanton, Windy Hill Manor. Vol I pg. 29A
Harry L. George:
It is quite a coincidence that we should receive your communication making inquiries about Indian relics as Prof Brown, archeologist from the University of Miss was here this morning & spoke at our Indian relics and to visit our Indian Mound. He was very much impressed with a stone ????? quite large in our possession as they are seldom found in a perfect state. This one is perfect - he took several photos of it. What would you give for a stone ????? Prof Brown took the measurements of the ????? We have arrow points and ???? grinders disks a perforator of them Prof Brown ordered it and many curios. A number of stone sinkers used by prehistoric men. We have a string of very valuable Indian beads & he picked up a "Windy Hill Manor" and Adams Company the habitat of the Ancient Satchez. It depends on what you'll pay for specimens whether we will consider to sell. Send us your price list and will take it under consideration.
Prof Brown is writing a book on archeology for the University of Miss. and will use the ????? of the ????? as an illustration.
Enclosed find a prospectus & ???? subscription blank of my historical ????? "Fala Morgan, A History of Empire. The Burr Conspiracy in Miss. Territory and the great Southwest.
Aaron Burr Ex Vice President of the U. S. was arrested for treason in Miss. Territory in 1824 awaited his ???? in treason at my home Windy Hill Farm and from hence he made his escape on his ???? thoroughbred failing for posting his bonds in the sum of $5000 & no/100 to appear at a called session of the Supreme Court at Washington Capital of Miss. Territory.
If any of your friends would like to order the book send their names and I'll send them with pleasure subscription blanks.
