Found receipt for actual stradivarius violin bought over 100 years ago. Thats just the start. Can i sell it?

bought a book one day, because it was old, about stradivarius, and had all kinds of postcards and things falling out of it. had a look at it, turns out the book is from 1909, and had been owned by at least three different people. These people left volumes of papers, poems, postcards and receipts strewn throughout the book, information was also added to the margins of the book as it happened in real life. At first I couldn't imagine what all this meant, or why i now had it. So i started researching. At first glance, there is a signature inside the rear cover of the book nestled in between beautifully handwritten poems romanticizing the violin in vibrant blue fountain pen: Adolfo Betti, to Loudon Charlton, Carnegie hall, New York" so the book must have belonged to this Charlton character to start with. He was the manager of the new york philharmonic 1910-1912 (committed suicide in the 1930's) Betti, the lead violinist of italy's flonzaley quartet, must have autographed this book for him during a visit to carnegie. Most of these poems, postcards and a few receipts were written by the next owner of the book: Herman Hoyer, Boston symphony violinist. Hoyer seems to have left the most proof of ownership, many transcribed poems cordially made out to "Annie Matthews Bryant" also, postcards sent from him to her address at 198 commonwealth in boston around 1911. Then suddenly, as hoyer is away in his native germany, he unexpectedly dies. I gleaned this information from another postcard. sent from frieberg germany in the height of WW1, (also included) from hermans brother julius. I had it loosely translated (from a form of german that is no longer used) julius writes to tell mrs bryant of hermans death in frieberg. julius knew that they had been the best of friends, so he sent her some of hermans things, book included. Also included, were two violins left to mrs bryant from hermans estate, a carletti and a lupot (violins). All i could find on the internet was an old news article stating that herman had taken an Auction firm to court over these very same violins, the carletti and lupot claiming they were fakes. he lost his suit. bad luck. but stay with me, it gets even better. Annie matthews bryant was an affluent sculptress, violinist, painter, hostess, and bona fide stradivarius owner. look her up. if you do, you will find out that she donated her two stradivarius' ("Antonius" and "Francesca" to the metropolitan museum of art in new york upon her death in 1933. The receipt for at least one, maybe both of these strads is also tucked into this book. Signed and witnessed, and on beautiful stationary. the price was 20,000. a hell of alot back then. So yeah, it has no choice but to be authentic, its way too detailed. I just have no clue where to begin with it. sell it, donate it, or what. Any advice?

My advice: keep writing fiction, you're pretty good You get a B- for that Edit: if that's fiction you are much better than 'pretty good'. But I'll base my answer on the premise that this is a legitimate circumstance. First, you should contact the curator of musical instruments at the Met since this is where the violin is. Have copies of the relevant paperwork. I'm sure they would be fascinated by this find. As for selling, once everything is authenticated, the only place to sell in my opinion is Sotheby's in NYC. Depending on your conversation or correspondence with the Met you might want to contact Sothebys. They will authenticate all items if they believe it will constitute an interesting and sought after sale. It would appear you have a little treasure trove. Safe keeping would be advised. A bank safe deposit box to protect from fire and more likely theft.

Please help...Spanish speaking people please answer?

My Spanish teacher gave us this assignment to pretend that we're on vacation and to write a postcard to someone (and there were all these requirements that had to be in there). I tried the best I could and here's what I got. If it's wrong please help me fix it and if it's good, please tell me. I used an online translator to help and they can be wrong sometimes so I wanna make sure my postcard is right. Here's the English version: Dear Whitney, Hey! How are you? We’re doing good over here. We arrived in Brazil a couple days ago. The weather here is beautiful. It’s very sunny and it’s been really hot since we got here, so we had to bring shorts, tank tops and sunglasses. I also had to take a couple of bathing suits with me in order to go to the beach today (good thing it did not rain). We’re going to go waterskiing, swim with dolphins, go to an amusement park and hopefully do a lot more stuff while we’re over here. I miss you! I will see you soon. Love, Annie <3 And, the Spanish version: Querida Whitney, ¡Hola! ¿Como estas? Estamos bien. Llegamos a Brasil hace un par de días. El tiempo aquí está hermoso. Es hace sol mucho y hace calor mucho desde que llegué aqui, por lo que tenían que llevar pantolones cortos, camisetas, y anteojos de sol. Yo también tuve que tomar un par de trajes de baño conmigo ir a la playa hoy (menos mal que no lluvia). Vamos a ir acuático, nado con delfines, ir a un parque de diversiones y esperamos hacer muchas más cosas al mismo tiempo que estamos aqui. ¡Te echo de menos! Yo le veré pronto. Saludos, Annie <3 please help... thanks =]
