the autograph of Francis R. Tillou, Drake's brother-in-law. 

 Several of these refer to Drake and, 1 believe, some are 

 Tillou's copies of poems by Drake. This is the volume which 

 has been known, particularly from the facsimiles in Gen. James 

 Grant Wilson's Century article on Drake. The New York 

 Puhlic Library has an important literary letter from W. I. 

 Paulding to Evert A. Duyckinck. dated. January 22. 1868. 

 which makes mention of Tillou and this volume. 



An original poem, "One happy year has tied." consisting of 

 four verses of eight lines each, on two octavo sheets, was sold 

 in the Hollis French sale, by the Anderson Galleries, of New 

 York City, on Nov. 8, 1916, for $37.50. It was offered in 

 1917 by Thomas F. Madigan, an autograph dealer, in a cata- 

 logue for $60.
