Title from item or accompanying material.
John Wright Crane, Washington Historian of Springfield MA, writes to Charles B. Sanders of Washington a letter requesting that the Charles Eames monument be placed back in the spot where it stood since 1808 until it was torn down. The letter also mentions other little-known historic features of Washington: The Chapel Monument, the glass sand mine, the lead mine near the station, and the Tory Glen Cave Note: The Eames monument was put in a local home for safekeeping. It was then stolen, and much later returned to the town and placed in the old Town Hall.
