[12] “In box, three pictures (miniatures), _two half joes_, two small pieces of gold.” Dec. 26, 1780.—Martha Washington. These were sent to be used in the manufacture of the miniature cases for the above pictures. This letter is in the possession of K. Coulton Davis, Ph. G., of this city. [13] This issue being made at Sommer Islands, gave the name of “Sommer money.” [14] The old story of the weighing of John Hall’s daughter on her marriage-day is recalled in seeing these coins. Her dowry was her weight in “pine-tree” shillings; and the suggestion is allowable that these specimens formed a part of the portion of the blushing bride two centuries ago. [15] This is the coin which caused such excitement and so much feeling in Ireland, and which Dean Swift attacked from the pulpit. [16] From Chapman’s Collection Catalogue, May 14-15, pp. 24-25. [17] From the proceedings of the American Philosophical Society, reported by Wm. E. Du Bois, in October, 1845. [18] Considered unique, one recently sold for $640.00 at a public sale in New York. [19] After the resignation of ex-Governor Pollock the title of Director was changed to Superintendent. The Director of all the Mints is now located at Washington. [20] Dr. Linderman’s widow and only son, Henry R. Linderman (named for him), a prominent lawyer of Stroudsburg, Penna., are the only survivors of his family. [21] The Phototype of Washington’s Profile likeness in the bound edition of this book, is from this Medal, known as the Houdon Medal. [22] Mr. Barber has lately completed a large and very fine medallic likeness of President Cleveland. [23] Kilogram of gold valued at $634.60. [24] Kilogram of silver valued at $41.56. [25] Includes $11,464.27 expended from appropriation for renewal of steam-power plant at Philadelphia. [26] The statement of the amounts in National Banks is of date August 1.
