My great-great aunt, Jessie Roach Davis, offered to given the original copy of Micah Taul's Memoirs to the Filson Club years ago.They originally declined the offer, not realizing the historial significance of these memoirs.I have a copy of a letter the Filson Club wrote Jessie Roach Davis apologizing for this and asking that she donate the Memoirs to the Filson Club.She had been offended naturally that the Filson club did not accept her offer and refused to given the originals to them but did finally agree to loan the Memoirs to the Filson Club.
