Guiding values uncovered in century-old letter

Every now and then, you hear about surprising finds at flea markets, yard sales or in an attic. Items that appear ordinary are actually extraordinary, maybe even priceless. Recently, a Minnesota man had just such an experience. But the value of his find wasn’t monetary. It was historical. The discovery of a letter by Dr. William J. Mayo, written in 1896, offers an early glimpse into Mayo Clinic’s values.
