I associate the name Wilder with spindle back chairs. I think it was Josiah that made these. My uncle Oliver during his retirement restored old chairs and he had a lot of respect for Wilder chairs. A simple spindle back Wilder chair is worth $500 today.
Apparently, Calvin has made $ in the transportation industry.
at one time he had a stagecoach line and in this recent letter he's building sailing vessels. He spends all this money & time travelling (and also getting sick). His advice: stay home, which Josiah apparently did. I'd like to know more about Josiah.

Wilder’s experience reminds me of the film Master and Commander, even though it’s set during the Napoleonic Wars.
