Manuscripts
This autograph letter signed is addressed to Mr. Peale at the Museum (Peale retired from the museum in 1810, this letter may be for him or one of his sons who replaced him). Chevalier writes, "Sir, Please to receive in your Museum a little pensionnary that came last night to take refuge in the house where I live: It is a screetch-owl of the smallest and beautiful kind, I had always been told that such birds were ominous creatures; but the contrary I now find in the opportunity this offers me, by presenting you with it, to do something with that perhaps may prove agreeable to you. I am with respect, Anne Renaudet Chevalier."
