Rough Patch

Military patch.

If anyone knows what this patch represents, leave a comment. I was unable to find it online.

Update - Crossett Library was kind enough to find out. It's a 4th Air Force.

Update 2 - Phoebe (via Facebook) has a bit more info:  

WW2 era US Army Air Corps 4th Air Force. They were the defence force for the Southwestern and Lower Midwest US HQ'ed out of March Field in California.

Master Herchel Logan
Windfield Kan

Found in "The Scarlet Letter" by Nathaniel Hawthorne. Published by Houghton Mifflin, circa 1900.

Note, the name Herchel (or Herschel) Logan sounded familiar, so I did a quick Googling. Turns out Master Logan was a fairly well-known artist and author.

Now the name sounded really familiar. Sure enough, we have one of Logan's miniature books in stock:

The book is about 2.5 inches tall.
