CHAPMAN ENVELOPES: FEBRUARY 12, 1880Several weeks ago John Lupia suggested a new way to generate ideas for E-Sylum articles - picking a random date to choose items from his massive archive of Chapman Brothers correspondence - nearly every day is represented from 1878 to 1948. So for grins I took him up on it this week, randomly choosing February 12, 1880 as a starting point. Here's what he came up with from his files, all dated on or close to that date. -Editor 
Samuel Carter correspondence six weeks prior to his sole auction.
