Certainly, he would hnve been the most surprised person In the world If some one had told him s of a century after he wrote that that letter. It would he sold for more than 100. Considerable spure was devoted In New Tork newspapers recently to the fart that a New Tork collector of Americana had acquired an extensive collection of letters by John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe. John Quincy Adams and others. The most Important were sixteen Jefferson letters, only four of which bad ever been published. The concluding paranewspaper story about graphs of the these letters reads as follows: One of th letters which has been published I on of the moat Interesting that has ever passed through the hands of Mr Madlgan during hla twanty-flv- e years In the autograph business, he few sentences Mr. Jefferson clarified said. In whatever doubt may havs bean In the mind of hla correspondent about the authorship of the Declaration of Independence. In part, Jefferson wrote: Your statements of the corrections of the Declaration of Independence by Dr. Franklin and Mr Adams are neither of them at ell exact. I should think It better to say generally that the rough draught was communicated to these two gentlemen. who, each, made 2 or 8 short verbal alterations only, but even this Is laying more stress on mere composition than it merits; for that alone was mine; the sentiments were of 11 America." three-quarter- half-colum- n While It would seem that the autograph letters of fhe earlier Presidents would bring higher prices than those. of the later executives, such Is not always the case. For the typewriter has had Its Influence on autograph bunting. Washington's and Lincolns voluminous correspondence was all handwritten, hut the letters of the' last three or four Presidents have been dictated to stenographers. written on the typewriter and one cannot always he sure whether the signature at the bottom of the letter Is by the President himself or by some Secretary or clerk. One of the rarest of all autograph collector's Items. It Is said. Is a letter written In long hand by Warren O. Hard lng, and a similar one by Calvin Coolldge Is nearly as rare. Being rare, they therefore command a price which will equal that asked for. the letters of some of the earlier Presidents and compare favorably with the prices of Washington and Lincoln letters. At a recent sale a Washington letter brought $ir0, the same price that was paid for a Harding letter tn the President's own handwriting. Bui when the matter of price In connection with autographs is mentioned, there Is one classic r valuable example which overshadows .signatures. The man himself was comparatively unknown to most Americans until the signature broke all autograph price records. True, he was a signer of the Declaration of Independence, hut It might be possible to get a complete set of autographs of the signers (with the exception of this one man) If you were willing to pay from $300 to $2,000 for it. But if you wish to make It complete by uddlng the name of Button Gwinnett of Georgia to the names of the other 35, It may cost you from $30,000 to $30,000 more. For tiie signature of Button Gwinnett Is one of the rarest of nil known autographs, there being not, more than twenty known to be In existence and of this number not more than half a dozen have ever been available for purchase by collectors. The reason that there are not more Is due to the fact that he was killed In a duel In 1777, about a year after his signing the Declaration made him one of America's Immortals. of trfdttwtti Niwveuerwwft, In. ovr pro-porti- know im JsVrvouft JadUrewttoii ftfia Ketrvftt tbo H aria.
