Appendix.
The fact that this picture of "1642" has been supposed by some descendants of Tristram Coffin to be an authentic copy from an original representation of the first Chief Magistrate of Nantucket, led to a query concerning it.
The appended reply explains its existence, and gives interesting faets concerning the medals which Admiral Sir Isaac Coffin be- stowed upon the trustees of the Coffin School.
The interest in education, which had already made consider- able progress, was stimulated by him. This interest continued for many years, during which time the schools of Nantucket were second to none in that vicinity.
October 17th, 1901.
Dear Mrs. Hinchman:
The photo you name of Tristram Coffin is copied from one side of the Coffin School Medal, and is wholly ideal. The medal is about two inches in diameter, so the photograph is much en- larged. There were quite a number of medals struck in bronze, and one, I have seen, white metal.
Each of the original trustees of the school had one. The Ad- miral had them struck in England after the school was estab- lished, and forwarded to the island. In his letter accompanying them he said the gilt one is for the President of the Trustees. It was at that time supposed to be gold and for transmission to succeeding Presidents; while in the possession of one of the later Presidents it was stolen by one of his juvenile relatives, who also believed it to be gold and tried to melt it into an ingot. He could not get heat enough to melt the bronze, but succeeded only in burning off the gilt. I have a number of them in a good state of preservation.
One was recently found in San Francisco while excavating for a foundation. It was on a site where a Nantucket man had lived in the rugged days of California life and lost it.
I cannot now recall who the person was, but I published an artiele on it at the time in response to an inquiry in a San Fran- cisco paper, which gave pictures of both sides of the medal.
I made a plaster east of one many years ago, and succeeded in moulding a rough copy in base metal, which I subsequently deposited with the Nantucket Historical Society.
The little photos of some half dozen ancient paintings of mem- bers of the Coffin family were copied from painted portraits then

adorning the walls of the Portledge Manor House, near Bid- eford, County Devon, England, and are true to life as the painter artist could make, but there is no portrait nor personal descrip- tion of our ancestor, Tristram Coffin, that I have ever seen, and 1 know of but one genuine autograph extant in Nantucket in all the publie records and documents I have examined.
The costume upon the medal was doubtless made up from a knowledge of what constituted the dress of the period of 1642, the year Tristram emigrated from England.
I have discussed that period in my life of T. C. to some ex- tent, and I have fallen upon nothing historical since the Coffin Reunion that would change my estimate of Tristram prior to his emigration to America nor of his career in America.
Very respectfully, ALLEN COFFIN.
