I'd kill for an intact property like this, at the very least they could have seen to it the items like the journal went to a museum. No, it's always sell it off to the highest bidder. Why buy the property if you don't want what the property offers? Leave it to someone will cherish it intact and go find something else, most likely it was an out of state buyer too. I just cannot fathom people who don't appreciate history. What souless persons they must be. We are slowly loosing our twentieth (sp) century history, nothing is being saved, no house museums, nothing. A hundred years from now our musuems will be empty and there will be no culture to study for the 1900's because it wasn't saved.

It IS a true shame that the new owners failed to appreciate the significance of the journal and Ms. Chase's attachment to the place.
