Mr. Jones, Meet the Master: Sermons and Prayers of Peter Marshall by Peter Marshall
Mr. Jones, Meet the Master: Sermons and Prayers of Peter Marshall by Peter Marshall

This book and its contents were a remarkable find for several reasons. The book was signed by the author (Peter Marshall) himself, and tucked inside the book we discovered a letter written by Mr. Marshall in 1947 discussing an invitation he received to join an organization in Washington D.C., as well as some bon mots about D.C. and Great Britain.  Then, on top of all that, the book bears a lovely tribute in the form of a 1951 inscription to a man named Frank Hart, to whom it is being gifted. Just very neat.
