CHAPMAN CORRESPONDENCE ARCHIVE AT ANS

  An intriguing item was published in the Winter 2002 issue
  of the American Numismatic Society magazine.  Librarian
  Francis D. Campbell notes in his column on p21 that
  "Through a generous donation from the Estate of Mrs.
  Henrietta Chapman Judson, the Library has received a
  substantial quantity of the correspondence and other papers
  of the coin auction firm run by Henry and Samuel Hudson
  Chapman, which began operations in 1879."

  The article goes on to describe the career of the firm, but
  does not elaborate on the contents of the correspondence
  archive.  Perhaps some E-Sylum reader will poke their
  nose in the archive sometime and let us know some of the
  highlights.
