  • well as I would like kerosene. And when I do occasionally like a drink for manners sake, I want something soothing to cool my throat. On the other hand Harmer is a connoisseur of what is regarded as good whiskey, and can drink it like you could drink coffee, and I’ve seen him drink enough in one day to paralyze me for a week, and it had no apparent effect upon him. The effect will come sooner or later but that is another story. Hell, I’ve taken up enough of your time, so will bring this to a close. And remember that the “latch string” is out at my home. And my good mother will see that you get enough to eat. And I’ll tell you enough about the old rifle kings to fill a small book. Very Sincerely Yours Marc Woodmansee

  • In a letter to Horace Kephart, written on February 28, 1919, Marc Woodmansee implores Kephart to visit both Mr. Harmer (mentioned in a previous correspondence) to see his vast pistol collection, and to visit Woodmansee himself to see his collection of Kentucky Rifles. Woodmansee is also adamant on taking a canoeing trip with Kephart, and offers his own canoeing equipment at Kephart's disposal. Woodmansee speaks extremely high of Mr. Harmer, as both a smart man, capable of finding his own faults, and as an expert in the field of firearms. He also mentions the death of another prominent firearm collector, Chas. M. Schott, whose collection was sold in New York at auction for $20,000. Woodmansee adds an anecdote on the lucrative nature of collecting historic firearms, in which he bought a second-hand dragoon pistol that was not complete for $4.00, and gave it to Mr. Harmer who had the remaining parts, marking up its value significantly. Lastly Woodmansee once again invites Kephart to visit.
