GARRETT NUMISMATIC LIBRARY UPDATE

  Joel Orosz writes: "Regarding Nick Graver's query about
  whether the Garrett numismatic library is still in Evergreen
  House, I can authoritatively state that it was in residence as
  of March of 1995, when I paid the house a visit.  The
  collection was mainly a working library of catalogues and
  the standard references of the 1880s--I don't recall seeing
  any special editions or sumptuous bindings.  The numismatic
  books were not in the large library addition (below which
  the coin vault is located), but rather in the original portion
  of the house, on bookshelves in two large parlor rooms.
  Whether they are still there, I cannot say.  I wrote up my
  visit, under the title of "John Work Garrett, Evergreen House,
  and Me," which was published in Bowers and Merena's Rare
  Coin Review No. 110 (March/April 1996)."
