AUTHORS COLLECTION?
COINS FOUND AT GRAND HOTEL. Among the collection of coins which were found on the site of the old Grand Hotel, was also found a cutting from an illustrated paper of the head of a man. A book entitled "Good-bye to All That" has as a frontispiece a photo of the author, Robert Graves. The two photographs are identical in every detail, and this fact is made more interesting when the author states in his biography that as a youth he collected coins while his schoolmates collected stamps. At the school he made friends with another youth who suddenly disappeared, and many of the coins were also missing, and he is supposed to have enlisted in the navy, and there seems to be little doubt that the coins found at the Grand Hotel were the property of Robert Graves, who is a well-known writer in England. Mr. L. Hitchcock has written to Mr. Graves explaining the finding of the coins and the illustrated clipping, and the reply should mean some interesting developments.
