1. Title: A Treasured Connection: A Handwritten Note from Robert G. Ingersoll to Roland R. Conklin, December 9, 1890 This image showcases a rare and personal moment in history, as we gaze upon a handwritten note from the renowned American lawyer, politician, and freethinker, Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899), to his friend and financier, Roland Rodgers Conklin (1858-1938). Dated December 9, 1890, this note offers a glimpse into the correspondence between two influential figures of the late 19th century. Ingersoll, a leading figure in the freethought movement, was a champion of reason, skepticism, and individual liberty. He gained fame for his eloquent speeches and writings on a wide range of topics, including religion, morality, and politics. Conklin, on the other hand, was a successful financier and philanthropist, known for his business acumen and generosity. The note, possibly a part of a larger letter, reveals the warmth and camaraderie that existed between these two men. The exact content of the message remains a mystery, but the handwriting and tone suggest a friendly and familiar exchange. The note's survival is a testament to the enduring bond between Ingersoll and Conklin, who shared a deep respect for each other's intellect and character. This original, handwritten artifact offers a unique window into the past, allowing us to connect with the lives of two remarkable individuals who shaped the American landscape during the late 1800s. The note's authenticity and historical significance make it a valuable addition to any collection of American history or literature.
