Whether the skill shown by William

A score Of persons were gathered

date back to Revolutionary war times.
The inkwell has been in the family
since the time of the conflict of the
American colonies against Great Brit

Mr.. Phillips came into possession
of the relic in 1864, 1t having been
handed down to him by his father,
and his father got 1t in turn from
his grandfather. who captured 1t
among Pther things at a little log
cabin near West Point at about the
time Benedict Arnold was figuring on
selling that strategic point TO the
British, but took French leave when
he learned that the Colonial soldiers
were after him.
This ink well, ii is stated by Mr..
Phillips, is the one that furnished the
Ink for the document Arnold signed
giving the British possession of West
Point, and was found among other OF
Arnold's possessions after his hasty

documents were signed and sealed.

All that afternoon he stayed shut
