Lot of documents (letters and map) relating to an application for a salvage lease for a 1715-Fleet site, along with a letter offering coins for sale in the 1960s. This lot is a fascinating glimpse into an attempt by Goodpaster to circumvent Real Eight's influence, as it features letters from Karl's attorney (along with a photocopy of an 1834 map of Florida) relating to an application to the State Board of Antiquities for a lease to salvage an area that Karl H. Goodpaster (Real Eight conservator) wanted to work on his own, along with an original letter (with handwritten prototype) by Goodpaster offering five choice and rare 1715-Fleet silver cobs (with photocopy of the coins in question) for cash sales (as opposed to a trade option offered by Real Eight), a lot of priceless ephemera from the Real Eight days. Pedigreed to the estate of Karl H. Goodpaster (Real Eight conservator).
