              <text>These particular items were not found from the Winchester Mystery House, but they are evidence provided by the Samuel Leib Collection of how Sarah Winchester utilized her wealth. These particular items are visually mapped out to help give some context on where the Sempervirens Club is in relation to the Winchester Mystery House. &#13;
&#13;
The first item is a letter from the Andrew P. Hill asking for donations to the Sempervirens Club.  The second item is a receipt for a donation of $500 to the Sempervirens Club. These items help demonstrate how Sarah Winchester did not just spend her wealth on herself or the house, and instead, helped spread her wealth to others for a good cause. &#13;
&#13;
These particular items demonstrate this particular aspect of Sarah Winchester giving charitable donations to the community that is omitted from public memory. Part of that being her seclusion from the public eyes by staying within her estate as described by the Ignoffo reading from class, but also the nature of this exchange being monetary in the form of a paper receipt and not necessarily a material object to be honored. This omission from public memory also indicates the gap of information that is lost from the synecdoche of Sarah Winchester as primarily seen by the Winchester Mystery House because of how the house draws everyone's attention and not other aspects of her life.&#13;
