I am sorting, cleaning and getting rid of things here in the house,
basically because there is just too much here. This is a large house but
even large houses have their limits. Therefore, I am disposing of certain
books, mostly ones that have no connection to my family and nobody here
will ever look at. I am offering to anyone on this list who would like to
have it a book about New York City. The title is "Sunshine and Shadow in
New York" author, Matthew Hale Smith, published in 1868. This book has 92
chapters, I think if I remember my Roman numerals correctly, and over 700
pages. There are quite a lot of illustrations and it tells about the
people and places in New York City at that time, shortly after the Civil
War.
I have offered this book here first as I consider you folks
friends--almost kin, but if no one is interested I have found another place
that I think might take it. It is, of course, old and fairly fragile, but
overall in pretty darned good shape for it's age. Ruth
