Thomas Spalding Wylly letters, 1867-1973.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/277766523

The collection consists of a xerox copy of a letter reputedly from Maximilian of Mexico to his cousin in Versailles. He writes to say farewell before his execution and to entreat his cousin's prayers. Also included is a letter to Dr. E. Merton Coulter from Commander Wylly. The letter is in reference to the xerox copy which is in Wylly's possession. He wants Dr. Coulter to compare this letter with the handwriting of Pleasant Stovall to see if they are the same hand. If not, the letter may be Maximilian's and therefore very valuable. The last letter is from Dr. Coulter to Commander Wylly. The letter is in response to Commander Wylly's request for handwriting comparison. Dr. Coulter believes the xeroxed letter is not in Maximilian's hand, but Pleasant Stovall's instead.
