  • collections of different kinds and often found them unwilling to show that they had. and if they did so so [word marked out] it was done begrudgingly. But you’ll not find Harmer in this class. He’ll say now there are three [word marked out] seven old fashioned bureaus. about 5 or 6 drawers to each. and they are filled with pistols. Just help your self. take out a drawer at a time. look them over. and put them back. so I wont have it to do. Heres the rum and cigars. So help yourself, you really owe it to yourself to see this collection. if for no reason then from an educational standpoint. You’ve studied the fire arm question to quite an extent. but could probably call comparatively few of the more than 700 different American pistols (revolvers) that have been made. It is certainly an interesting study. Well I’ve been imposing upon your time more than I had intended. So will bring this to a close. Best Wishes Marc Woodmansee

  • 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.
