  • In a letter to Horace Kephart, on January 26, 1919, Marc Woodmansee writes of his recent illness that has forced him to stay indoors for the past 10 days, so as to avoid contracting pneumonia. Because of this, Woodmansee has gone back and read Kephart's contributions to the magazine "Outing," including "Our Southern Highlands." Taking note of his reference to the Kentucky rifle, Woodmansee has promised to send Kephart photographs of his rifle collection when the weather permits him to take them outdoors. On this subject, Woodmansee implores Kephart to make a trip to see Woodmansee and his collection in person, as well as enjoy the hospitality of Woodmansee's remote locale. Woodmansee also refers Kephart to a friend in Philadelphia, a one Harry B. Harmer, who is the owner of one of the finest pistol collections in the world, having every model pistol from the Colt Company. The collection also contains pistols from various battles including Valley Forge and Harpers Ferry.
