Note
Offers, on behalf of an Italian cousin to sell Mrs. Anderson a "golden sword which was presented by act of the Congress of the United States to General the Marquis of Lafayette."
Presents a problem in chronology: the letter is dated 1929; Manzi-Fe refers to the sword that "had been brought to this country in 1932, on the occasion of the bicentennial anniversary of George Washington's birth." He also mentions knowning of Mrs. Anderson's "contemplating leaving your Washington house of the Society of the Cincinnatus [sic]."
Mentions an enclosed descriptive booklet [no longer present] and says that "the present owners, who are descendants of the oldest daughter of Gen. Lafayette, would still be willing to dispose of it and could obtain the Government's consent for its exportation."
At foot of p. [2] in ink: P.S. After writing this letter,I decided to take the opportunity and write you also about something else. You'll find the second letter enclosed. [no longer present]
In margin of p. [1] in pencil, possibly Isabel Anderson's note to a secretary: "We already have some things of Lafayettes per Andersons 1st cousin Marquis de Chambrun ... Colonel B. Metcalf, 660 Madison Ave.is President of the Cin. and you could talk with him."
