Dear Mr. Newman,
It was good of you to talk to me this afternoon, sharing impor-
tant information unknown by me, and offering to share some photos
of Hopkinson’s seals and emblems, and signed currency, etc.
WNfhorreotmnh,mIyIlHemofiptskitnaCskhoeannpleyplrotjHheioclutlg.httoIBvwuitosuilstduchfaawmlaissolynboeatndtsao;kviancgatthieaonpvuabcilnaitsihtoehner
decided to go ahead immediately with the printing of the book.
In the meantime, I had not brought with me any of my HoHplB^H^oIn
resources, thinking nothing would happen until the fall.
so I do not feel free to dash back to North
Carolina for my notes and resources, and of course the great re-
search facilities at UNC's Davis Library and Duke’s Perkins
Library where I can locate anything in print in the USA in a mo-
ment
.Attached is a preliminary script for the illustration sec-
tion. It was not until coming here that the idea of adding some
of his numismatic designs occurred to me. Through the captions, I
can identify the sources from which my copies have come, and give
reference to the sources for further study and consideration.
I now have two glossy copies, one of the 1779 sixty-five
dollar note and one of the 1778 sixty dollar note. I have one
seal, described on the attached script, and as you see, the cap-
tions explain the illustrations, becoming a 'teaching’ aspect of
the biography, illustrating the artistic skills of Francis Hop-
kinson, which are a controversial part of his life as a "Patriot
With A Pen."
Since the publication date is in November, supposedly the
best selling season of the year for books (before Christmas), I
should finish and send in the illustration section immediately.
Through the illustration section, the acknowledgments, the note
section, the bibliography, I can still make additions or changes,
putting readers on the trail of relevant numismatic information.
Your help is suddenly crucial for me, and will be fully ac-
knowledged in all possible ways suggested in the preceding
paragraph.
Youra truly/

Thank you for the materials and information you sent; I plan to
use much of it in the documentation and illustrations of my book,
and I thank you for your assistance. I also received from the
AcNuAssaioncoptyheorfeThmeostNumriesvmeaatliisntg,.DecIemwboeurld19l66i,keantdo froeupnrdodtuhceedtihse-
seals by Hopkinson from that article; do I need to secure permis-
sion other than from you as the author of the article?
I am planning to use in the illustrations examples of the Hopkin-
son currency, sent by you, including some of the shillings from
colonial Pennsylvania, and the seals from the 1966 article.
Brief descriptions are quotations from your book and the article,
both of which are listed now in the Bibliography for future ex-
plorations by readers.
My book will be enriched by your contributions, and I thank you
kindly, hoping it brings your work to a wider audience.
Yours, truly,/>
George N. Marshall
