LOSING AMERICANA
AWARDED TO VIRGINIA
On Amicablc Arbitration State
Gets Threc-fOurths of
Collection.

The Anderson Auction Company con-
f1rmed yesterday the story that Il had
successfully arbitrated the DISPUTE over
certain letters of WASHINGTON, Lafayette,
Rochambeau and other items OF the col
lection OF the late Benson j. Lossing,
the historian. ownership OF which was
claimed by the State OF Virginia.
All OF the Losing Americana was Of
fered at auction in May. 1912. by Mrs
Helen Losing Johnson Of Yonkers. When
Virginia objected that some OF the col
lection belonged TO its state archives these
items were Withdrawn from sale
Thereupon repres, ntative of Mrs.
Johnson, DR. II. r. McIlvalns, State Libra
rian Of Virginia, and the Anderson COM
pany met and took up the disputed papers
one by one.
There was no trouble in reaching n
settlement" II was said yesterday at
the Anderson galleries "The ownership
OF most OF the documents became clear
upon examination. For instance. a let
ter of Washington addressed to Ills Ex-
celency the Governor OF Virginia and
bearing signs OF having been filed with
other State records very evidently be-
longed TO the State. In this way II was
decided that about three-fourths OF the
contested articles. with an auction value
OF $1,000 to $1,000. were Virginia's prop
erty.
Among these Items, which Or. Nc
Ilvaine has taken back TO Richmond
with him. We're three Washington letters.
In one the first President subscribed 10
the foundation OF Washington and Lee
University. Another was circular let
ter In which he took leave OF his army
at Newburgh in June. 1888. The third
was one OF the few in which he ex-
pressed himself as respondent over the
outlook for the Revolution"
The documents not surrendered TO VIZ
| gnla will be offered at auction this fall
