SmithAthens, 1963 Original typescript housed in a document binder. Approximately 110 leaves typed on one side. Very Fine to Near Mint. A typewritten letter from Smith to Olga Raymond, dated May 18, 1963, which was forwarded to John J. Ford, who in turn forwarded it to Eric P. Newman on June 11, 1963, laid in, as is subsequent correspondence directly between Smith and Newman comprising several letters discussing Smith's manuscript, the possibility of its being published, and whether Newman would be willing to contribute a forward to the work !!! SECOND ::: " The Continental Currency Part II: Historical and Explanatory "by John F. Jonesc. 1940 Typescript housed in a document folder. 16 + 7 leaves - 2 works, both works Hand-Signed in Ink " Respectfully submitted, John F. Jones ". Very Fine to Near Mint. TWO (2) highly interesting unpublished works. The Smith typescript on Georgia currency is substantive, and was written for a scholarly audience. The correspondence between the author and Eric P. Newman indicates that Newman felt the work had definite promise but was yet unfinished. Unfinished it apparently remained, and this is the ONLY copy known !!! It is not present in the library of the American Numismatic Society, nor in any library on the OCLC network; further, the text is not available online. A specialist would find much to commend the work !!! While the Jones articles are more casually written and include little in the way of new information, they are WELL-DONE and include some interesting commentary on the state of collecting early American paper money at the time he was writing. TWO (2) intriguing unpublished works !!! FREE Shipping PLEASE see the PICS BELOW - QUALITY is OBVIOUS YOU be the JUDGE Several UP CLOSE and PERSONAL pictures are BELOW To the winning bidder, these will be excellent unpublished works to add to any collection and I sincerely hope you enjoy the manuscripts.
