l&ntmtx af Stttteaiujattmu P. 0. Box 136, Scranton, Pa., December 1, 1918. Mr. Horace Kephart, Bryson City, N. C. Dear Sir:- 1 I was pleased to receive your letter of November 27. I have not had a chance to make the photographs of the rifles as yet, but will do so as soon as I can get home in the day time. I never heard of Billinghurst, Morgan James or Amsden. My work in New York state is mostly confined to the southern tier of counties, so consequently I have not had an opportunity to study up on the rifle making history of the rest of the state. In regard to Mr. Ostendorff, his collection is on view in his saloon and restaurant on Market Street between 12th and 13th, in Philadelphia. If your being a North Carolinian does not preclude your entering places of liquid refreshment, the collection will be well worth your visit, if you happen to be in the city. I expect to go there very shortly and will try to get you one of Ostendorff's catalogues. I have one at home, which I will loan to you in case I can not get another for you to keep. What Mr. Ostendorff oonsiders the gem of his collection is the gun of Robinson Crusoe, or rather Alexander Selkirk, from whose adventures the book was written. He showed me the gun and its duly authenticated pedigree, showing that he bought it from a descendant of Selkirk, in London. The gun looks the part. It is a heavy ship's mustfket of the Brown Bess order, and barring a few
Object
Object’s are ‘parent’ level descriptions to ‘children’ items, (e.g. a book with pages).

In a letter to Horace Kephart on December 1, 1918, Roy C. McHenry recommends Kephart visit Mr. Ostendorff’s gun collection and highly suggests seeing Robinson Crusoe’s musket gun. He discusses an article from “Recreation” on Kentucky rifles, which focuses on many guns in the Great Smoky Mountains area. He tells of his upcoming travel to Harrisburg for court and an opportunity to see rifles on display at the State Museum. He also offers to gather information or send photographs to Kephart for his next article on percussion rifles.
