the sheet to the right is a page from an old magazine with a female posing in an armchair. Is it Carol Lombard? The back of a get-well card shows the card was made in 1925 by The Buzza Co. These papers were found behind mantles. Notice the odd ball - could it be a "canister shot" used at Fort Macon?

The photo above shows the front of the 1925 get-well card, old notes and a magazine page flipped over showing James Cagney. The crumbling get-well card is signed by Sue Thomas who writes that she is on her way to Richmond "to find diagnosis of my side." This could possibly be Sue Thomas who married Murray Thomas, Jr. in 1917. She was Elizabeth Cheek's mother.

The small tin labeled STAG is obviously a pocket-tobacco tin.
