Candy"; a 4" x 3" section of granite labeled "A piece of Fortress Monroe", also signed (label torn); a semi-spherical section of "Rebel Sh[ell]"; a 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" section of "Brick from Libby Prison" in glass case; a very thick, fragmented section of shell, possibly a mortar (label illegible); about a tablespoon of coarse black powder in a glass case labeled: "Artillery Powder from Blockade Runner 1864"; and a lump of "Lignite (Coal) from Northern Pacific Rail road 100 miles west of Bismark", also in a glass case.
