"Wesley Lee, the then proprietor, we were shown the parlor which Paine occupied, and Thomas Paine 's Last Home 145 the library opening out of it in which he wrote. These have been httle changed from the time of the author's occupancy. "When I bought it, " said Mr. Lee, "the only relics of Paine remaining were the old Frankhn stove and andirons he used; the stove still set in the brickwork in the library. These I let Mr. Walter Bell, the stove-dealer in New Rochelle, have in exchange for a moder...n stove and appurtenances. I presume he still has them. " Returning to New Rochelle, we called on Mr. Bell, and were shown the stove, which, if it had never be- longed to Paine, would still possess interest as being the first form that took shape in the inventor's mind. It is composed of heavy upright and horizontal plates of iron held in place by grooves, there not being a bolt or rod in the whole fabric — a sort of iron box, in which, on andirons, the fire was built. Mr. Bell has two affidavits to prove that the stove was really Paine's.
