Small notebook of ivory sheets with writing and silver clasp with writing on each page was inherited from the granddaughter of Elizabeth L. C. Dixon. The notes were various lists of items to remember, one family name "Kirkpatrick" sleigh for New Years. Just like to today, we all need little post it notes to help us remember the minutia.

I hope upon a second
sober reflection you will
conclude to attend the
Cavalry party for a little
while this evening. Their

and I’m sure you will enjoy
it I asked Colonel Owen he
begged and implored us to
bring you he said you must
come if possible please oblige
us for this once and last occasion.
Your sincere friend.

Sofa/Borne -- 18th century furniture
Description
An account of the resource
In the realm of antique furniture, few pieces have as much charm and history as the circular sofa or borne. This unique piece of furniture has graced the homes of dignitaries and aristocrats across centuries, and each one carries a story that's as unique as its design. Today, we are delving into the fascinating history of one such piece - a circular sofa that was once a part of the Dixon-Welling family's private collection.<br /><br />The Dixon-Welling Collection<br /><br />The sofa was housed in the Washington, D.C. home of Navy Secretary, Gideon Welles during the Civil War and later in the home of Senator James Dixon and Elizabeth L.C. Dixon family known for their exquisite taste in furniture, and their collection was a testament to their love for unique, timeless pieces. The circular sofa stood as the centerpiece of their collection, embodying their passion for historical artifacts and their commitment to preserving them for future generations.<br /><br />The Journey to the Museum<br /><br />After many years in the Dixon-Welling family home, the circular sofa found its way to the Connecticut Culture and History Museum. The journey began on May 18, 1976 when Miss Elizabeth D. Welling, the granddaughter of Sen. Dixon and Elizabeth L.C. Dixon, generously donated the piece. This donation helped preserve the sofa's legacy and allowed a wider audience to appreciate its historical significance.<br /><br />A Deeper Look at the Circular Sofa (Borne)<br /><br />The circular sofa or borne is a unique piece of furniture that originated in 19th-century France. It was often found in the middle of large rooms, providing an elegant and comfortable seating area for guests. The sofa is circular and often features lush upholstery, deep seating, and intricate woodwork. It serves as both a functional piece of furniture and a statement piece, drawing the eye and sparking conversation.<br /><br />Continuing the Legacy<br /><br />The Dixon-Welling circular sofa now sits in the Connecticut Culture and History Museum under the accession number 1977.25.3. It continues to captivate visitors with its unique design and rich history, serving as a testament to the timeless appeal of antique furniture. The sofa's journey from a private collection to a museum exhibit is a fascinating tale of preservation and discovery, reminding us of the importance of preserving historical artifacts for future generations.<br /><br />Conclusion<br /><br />The journey of the Dixon-Welling circular sofa is a perfect example of how historical artifacts can be lost and then found again. Through the efforts of individuals like Miss Elizabeth D. Welling and institutions like the Connecticut Culture and History Museum, we can continue to discover and preserve these pieces of history. As we appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of the circular sofa, we also pay tribute to the people and stories that it represents.
