FIRST AMERICAN-BORN & AMERICAN-TRAINED ARCHITECT 13. Benjamin, Asher. Document signed by early American architect Asher Benjamin. Document Signed on printed receipt form. 1 page + docketing on verso. Approximately 8¾x7¾”. Boston: August 3, 1822 Called “the first American-born and American-trained architect”, Asher Benjamin was certainly the most influential architectural writer in the United States before the Civil War. His Country Builder’s Assistant, the first of his seven classic handbooks for architects and craftsmen appeared in 1797 and the last in 1843. Financially troubled throughout early life, unable to earn a living from his architectural work and writings, especially after the largest building in Boston, which he had designed, was linked to a financial swindle, Benjamin opened a building-supply store in Boston in 1810. He ran the business for 14 years, supporting his family by selling paints, brushes and glass to the building trades - until he went bankrupt in 1824, two years after he signed this receipt for a glass shipment. Not until his last years would Benjamin receive proper recognition for his enormous influence on generations of American architects. A very rare early American signature. Creased; very good. (700/1000)

The double-page map, dated 1611, has an inset of Jerusalem, engravings of relics, a description “To the Christian Reader,” and a key to 50 locations. The King James Bible, commonly known as the Authorized Version, is undoubtedly the most influential of all English language versions of the Bible. Printing and the Mind of Man relates that “It was the leader of the Puritan party, John Reynolds...who first suggested the idea of a new translation. The King took up the idea enthusiastically and gave it his full support. It has been described as ‘the only literary masterpiece ever to have been produced by a committee’ and was the work of nearly fifty translators, organized in six groups... Lot 14 They succeeded superbly in their aim, not to create a new translation, ‘but to make a good one better’, so that the noble prose of Tyndale and Coverdale remained the backbone of what Macaulay described as ‘a book, which if everything else in our language should perish, would alone suffice to show the whole extent of its beauty and power.’” No new English translation was produced until the Revised Version of 1881.

Autographs on a memo sheet “from the Desk of Denton A. Cooley, M.D.”, 5½x4¼”. No place: 2007 Autographed by both Cooley and Michael DeBakey. Cooley has included a sketch of the human heart. The two physicians collaborated while they both practiced at Baylor College of Medicine. According to the April 10, 1970 issue of Life magazine, they had a disagreement associated with Cooley’s apparently unauthorized implantation of the first artificial heart in a human. DeBakey had set the surgery for Friday, April 4, 1969, and because of a schedule conflict relating to a speech in Corpus Christi, Texas, rescheduled it for the following Monday. Cooley then rescheduled back to the original date and performed the surgery while DeBakey was out of town. The press covered the surgery and Cooley gained much publicity. DeBakey was angry at Cooley for his actions. Their disagreement turned into a bitter feud that lasted for decades; the two men reconciled in 2007. Fine. (300/500)

92. (Fitzgerald, F. Scott) Graham, Sheilah. Typed Letter, signed from the former mistress of F. Scott Fitzgerald. Typed Letter, signed (“Sheilah”), with a few handwritten additions. To her newly-wed husband, Trevor Westbrook, in England. 3 pages, Two 11x8½”, the third 5½x8½”. New York: April 27, 1942 British-born Sheilah Graham, one of the most influential gossip columnists in Hollywood, is remembered today as the last lover of novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald, their three-year relationship (described in her book Beloved Infidel) beginning while he was still married to his wife Zelda, who was institutionalized in an asylum. Graham remained with Fitzgerald until the day he died of a heart attack in December 1940. She then returned as a war correspondent to her native England, where she met fighter plane manufacturer Trevor Westbrook, whom she married in January 1942, weeks after the US entered World War II. When, four months later, she wrote this letter from New York to her new husband in London, she was pregnant - and explained at length why her New York Doctors “did not think it wise (to put it mildly) for me to make the trip back to England now, or at any time during the next months”. Rejecting the insistence of Westbrook and his “interfering” mother that she should come back to England during her pregnancy, Sheilah Graham was still in United States in September when she gave birth in Hollywood to a baby girl. Not until after her mother’s death in 1988 did her grown daughter discover (and reveal in a published memoir) that her biological father was not Westbrook, but British philosopher A.J. Ayer, with whom her mother had a brief affair just before her marriage - and exactly one year after the death of F. Scott Fitzgerald, the true love of her life. Paper browned and creased, some wear; very good. (400/600)

Lot 95 LETTER FROM BLACKLISTED SCREENWRITER OF HIGH NOON 96. Foreman, Carl. Typed Letter, signed, from the blacklisted screenwriter of High Noon. Typed Letter, signed. 2 pages, to “Johnny” [Green]. London: March 8, [1953] “...I suppose you know that I won’t be able to attend the Awards presentation. I don’t think it matters particularly, because I think it’s highly unlikely that I’d win the screen- writing Oscar, the competition in my category being pretty rough this year. However, on the off chance that something nice might happen...I should inform you of whom I’d like to represent me...Fred Zinneman, Dmitri Tiomkin or Elmo Williams...If they’re not available, pick anyone you like, so long as it isn’t someone from the Kramer organization. In the best picture category...having given up the producer credit during the course of my separation from the Kramer company...it has since been taken by Kramer by de- fault...since I think the picture has very little chance of winning, the whole thing is fairly

Page 26 academic, and I don’t propose to worry my pretty little head about it. My best wishes go to you for the success of the awards affair, and I’m sure it’ll be up to your usual exciting standard...” Carl Foreman was one of the top screenwriters in Hollywood when Stanley Kramer offered him a partnership as co-producer and screenwriter for High Noon. While Foreman was working on the script in 1951, he was summoned before the “red-hunting” House Committee on Un-American Activities. He willingly testified that he had once been a member of the Communist Party, but had long since quit the Party. Refusing to discuss others he knew with alleged Communist ties, he was labeled an “uncooperative witness”. This led to a bitter falling out with Kramer, who forced Foreman to sell his part of the High Noon production company. Realizing he would be “blacklisted” and would find no future work in Hollywood, Foreman then moved to England before High Noon was released in July 1952. As he mentions in this letter to the producer of the 1953 Academy Awards ceremony - the first to be nationally televised - he retained his credit as screenwriter. Light edge wear, several punched holes along left edge; very good. (800/1200)

Page 27 SUPERB COPY OF GALILEO’S MATHEMATICAL DISCOURSES, 1730, UNTRIMMED, UNOPENED, AND IN THE ORIGINAL BOARDS 100. Galilei, Galileo. Mathematical discourses concerning two new sciences relating to mechanicks and local motion, in four dialogues. I. Of the Resistance of Solids against Fraction. II. Of the Cause of their Coherence. III. Of Local Motion, viz. Equable, and naturally Accelerate. IV. Of Violent Motion, or of Projects. By Galileo Galilei, Chief Philosopher and Mathematician to the Grand Duke of Tuscany. With an appendix concerning the center of gravity of solid bodies. Done into English from the Italian, by Tho. Weston, late Master, and now publish’d by John Weston, present Master, of the Academy at Greenwich. xi, [1], 360, 369-497, [1] + [2] ad pp. Woodcut illustrations and diagrams in the text. (4to) 27x21 cm. (10½x8¼”), original marbled boards backed with sheep, leather spine label, unopened and untrimmed. Second Edition in English. London: J. Hooke, 1730 Second edition in English of Discorsi e dimonstrazioni matematichè intorno à due nuove scienze, but realistically the earliest obtainable. This copy is untrimmed and unopened, in the original state, taller and wider than any copies we have previously offered, and in all probability the finest copy obtainable. Recognized as “the first modern textbook of physics and the foundation of the [modern] science of mechanics,” Galileo’s Discorsi is a mathematical dialogue on kinematics and a variety of physical problems (including: matter, sound, and light); it also contains philosophical components dealing with the nature of mathematics and the role of experiment and reason in science. The Discorsi replaced the Aristotelean notion of motion with a new one based in inertia and principles derived from falling bodies, projectiles, and the pendulum. “It was upon his [Galileo’s] foundation that Huygens, Newton and others were able to erect the frame of the science of dynamics, and to extend its range (with the concept of universal gravitation) to the heavenly bodies” - PMM 130. The first translation into English of the work appeared in Vol. II, Part 1 of Thomas Salusbury’s Mathematical Collections and Translations in Two Parts. However, nearly all copies of that volume, published in 1665, were consumed in the Great Lot 100 Fire of London in 1666, with only about ten copies of Vol. II, Part I being known to have survived, and only one copy of Vol. II, Part II believed extant. With armorial bookplate of Camden Some rubbing and wear to spine, boards scuffed; some darkening to extreme page edges; a superb copy, clean and fresh, in custom folding cloth box. (25000/35000)

Letters include: 2 pp. letter dated July 12, 1951 about some business he had with Jack Simpson, a British Radio Actor. He speaks at length however, about a TV post-game show appearance by Gail Patrick Jackson, and voices his opinions about technical aspects of the TV production, things that would come into play later when he would form Paisano Productions and produce the TV show Perry Mason. * 2 pp. letter dated July 27, 1951. The letter begins with some business about Perry Mason, then moves on to his point of view about trailer life and ESG’s wanderlust. He very often had a wagon of trailers out on the road, filled with typewriters and secretaries, kitchens and living areas. He spent a good amount of time on the road getting away from society and enjoying nature. In this letter he recommends Corney to “drift into Oregon and Washington during the summer.” * 1 pp. letter dated July 30, 1951 about several sponsors of the Perry Mason Radio program. At bottom in ink, he writes, “P.S. Thayer says okay - so go ahead,” regarding an approval for a sponsor. Thayer Hobson was ESG’s representative from Morrow and Co. The company still represents all of ESG’s books. * 3 pp. letter addressed to Corney and Gail [Patrick Jackson], actress and wife of Corney, dated December 21, 1953. Probably the most important letter of this group, it shows the trepidation ESG had in trying to find a proper format for the production of Perry Mason for the new medium of TV. The idea of using numerous writers had not been done in any prior productions. The thought of creating one Perry Mason story, each week, for a 29 episode season was just overwhelming, and ESG lays out his concerns. The Proctor & Gamble show was Perry Mason radio show mentioned in pages 2 and 3. * 2 pp. letter dated April 5, 1954 regarding Corney’s recent run-in with the LAPD. He also speaks of phone calls (which are recorded, and which he sent to Corney) between ESG and Gene Roddenberry, creator of Star Trek. Gene wanted to get notes about writing for TV and radio shows. ESG was pivotal in Gene’s process, and helped transform him from a writer for the LAPD, to a writer for TV. * 1 pp. letter dated April 6, 1954. Attached are 4 typescript copies of letters from ESG to Worthington Miner, plus a copy of Miner’s letter to ESG, and a TLs from Paul B. Radin to Cornwell Jackson. The letter to Corney is a short note to read the attached material, which largely pertains to the dealings of pre-production on the Perry Mason TV show. * 2 pp. letter dated July 12, 1954. Attached is a typescript copy of ESG’s response to Miss Elizabeth Gyring, plus 4 pp. letter from Elizabeth Gyring to ESG about an opera she created from a Perry Mason book. Also in ESG’s letter he writes to Corney, “I’d like to get together with you and I am annoyed that you are keeping your children out of my life,” and talks about how his example will serves as what not to do for the kids. * A 2 pp. typescript memo from ESG on onion paper, dated February 6, 1954. Addressed to Willis Kingsley Wing, William Morrow & Company, Thayer Hobson and Company. The memo addresses how he feels about the commission structure in regards to the new TV series, his current radio show, and the proceeds from his book sales and reprints. He also talks about how he has realized that to make a TV show of his high standards, he needs to be very involved in the supervision of all elements. Shortly thereafter he formed Paisano Productions with his partners Cornwell Jackson and wife Gail Patrick Jackson. Gail went on to become Executive Producer, and ESG oversaw the script factory, running a good sized stable of writers.

The show launched on CBS in 1957. Warner Brothers is currently in the planning stages of adapting Perry Mason into a motion picture starring Robert Downey Jr. Provenance: The Cornwell Jackson Family Estate.

As the online edition of Hagerstown (MD) Magazine notes, “Artist James Hope, a Union officer who fought in more than a dozen battles before illness finally incapacitated him, painted a series of murals that offer a rare contribution to the understanding of the Civil War battle. Painted in a time sequence, the Hope murals are on display at Antietam National Battlefield’s Visitors Center. They portray the ebb and flow of the action at Antietam until the Confederates’ ultimate retreat across the Potomac River. Hope, who chose to remain in uniform as a combat artist after his illness, had converted his war sketches into five murals by 1878. The National Park Service in 1979 discovered the decaying murals in storage, and was able to restore the four that are now on display at the battlefield.” Very good condition. (300/500)

136. MacArthur, douglas. Proclamation No. 2...To the People of Korea. Broadside, text in English and Korean. Approximately 21¼x15”.

Proclamation No.1 formalized the diplomatic arrangement by which Soviet Russian troops occupied the northern part of the Korean Peninsula while the Americans occupied the south, the temporary US military government intending to insure eventual creation of a “free and independent” Korean nation. Proclamation No. 2, of which this is an original copy, intended to be posted by the US forces who were just arriving in the Korean capital of Seoul, warned the Korean People that “any person who....does any act to the prejudice of good order or the life, safety, or security of the persons or property of the United States or its Allies, or does any act calculated to disturb public peace and order, or prevent the administration of justice, or willfully does any act hostile to the Allied Forces” might, if convicted by a Military Court, “suffer death”.

Page 39 137. (MacArthur, Douglas) Clifton, Chester v., General & major General Courtney Whitney. Archive of correspondence between Generals Clifton and Whitney regarding sending General MacArthur on a diplomatic mission to Asia. Includes 2 Autograph Letters, signed, from Whitney to Clifton; 1 Typed Memorandum, signed, from Clifton to President Kennedy’s Executive Assistant, Kenneth O’Donnell; 1 Typed “Memorandum for the Record”, signed, by Clifton; 2 carbon copies of letters from Clifton to Whitney; and 1 typed transcription for the President of Whitney’s handwritten letter to Clifton. New York and Washington: July 26 - August 30, 1961 17 page archive of correspondence between General Chester V. Clifton, then Military Aide to President John F. Kennedy, and Major General Courtney Whitney, General Douglas MacArthur’s closest friend. These pages detail the confidential aftermath of what was more than a ceremonial visit. The two men felt a genuine rapport, Kennedy calling MacArthur one of the most interesting men he had ever met, while the General, as Whitney wrote Clifton in one of these letters - felt “great admiration” for the President. This was fortuitous because MacArthur advised Kennedy that the US should not fight a land war in Vietnam or elsewhere in Asia - an expert opinion from a military icon, that enforced Kennedy’s own private inclination to withdraw US forces from Vietnam before the next election. In these letters, Clifton extends, through Whitney, Kennedy’s wish to stay in close touch with MacArthur, as prelude to offering the General Ambassadorial appointment to the Philippines - or some “other nation in Asia”. Whitney’s insistent response was that MacArthur could not accept such a position until he had his “record cleared” - referring to President Truman’s firing of MacArthur during the Korean conflict. Whitney laid out a plan for naming MacArthur to an exalted position of “General of the Armed Forces”. This was not at all what Kennedy had in mind - and that was the end of the discussion. Had Kennedy proceeded to appoint MacArthur, the military skeptic, US envoy to Vietnam in 1961, American history of that era might have taken a different turn. Fine. (700/1000)

145. (Mexican-American War) Hitchcock, Julius. Autograph Letter, signed, denouncing the Mexican American War. Autograph Letter, signed. 3 pages + integral stampless address leaf. New York: June 13, 1846 To his mother, Mrs. Nancy Pardee, Bristol Post Office, Hartford County, Connecticut. “...You are situated most admirably not to be disturbed by the excitement attendant on the call for volunteers for recruiting the army. Your ears are not saluted with the shrill whistle of the fife and war peals of the drum as we are every morning and marching a recruiting sergeant calling for volunteers to repair to Mexico, there to be food for powder and black vomita because it is said that the high dignity of the country has been insulted [by]...the Military despot now controlling the affairs of the anarchyal Republic of Mexico. Our valiant little army under Old Rough & Ready Zach Taylor has covered themselves with glory, i.e., if there is any glory in murdering by hundreds. But such honors can’t restore life to the poor fellows that have been made to bite the ground...I abhor the battle field and hold that some one are answerable for the murder of those men....Ben who led the delegation from NY to Baltimore and nominated Polk and Dallas and annexation...I ...only wish that he...might have the opportunity to feel the Mexican bayonets just enough to let out the hypocritical blood...I had as leave look upon him with his under jaw carried away by grape shot...He can lounge upon his Sofa or Divan in the City of N.Y., enjoy an office under Polk, the perquisites amount to Twenty or Thirty Thousand per annum...and join the War cry to butcher and commit murder. O Christianity what will ye not do. Better go back to Paganism. Civilization what is it. (Honorable murder)... if these are the fruits of Civilization I must begin to doubt whether any advantage has ever been derived from the introduction of it into Pagan lands...” Written exactly one month after the United States formally declared war on Mexico, this letter is an unusually strident critique of the war fever, written by a New York Court “crier”. New York City would become a hotbed of anti-war sentiment during the Civil War, but such eloquent denunciations of America’s War with Mexico are far more rare. Creased from mailing; fine. (200/300)

Page 43 146. (Mexican Revolution) El Acapulco War Cry, Vol. 1, No. 1. - Rare spoof on the Mexican Revolution. Spoof newspaper probably printed aboard the USS South Dakota during the US occupation of Veracruz. 4 pages, approximately 8x6¼”. Aboard the U.S.S. South Dakota: May 2, 1914 After years of revolutionary violence and civil war in Mexico, on April 14, 1914, President Wilson ordered the US Atlantic Fleet to occupy the city of Veracruz, to protect American citizens on the oil-rich southeastern coast of the country. Meanwhile, the USS South Dakota, an armored cruiser with 800 officers and men, and carrying a Marine Regiment and two companies of troops, sailed from California for Mexican waters, preparing for a second possible landing on Mexico’s west coast. After leaving the Marines at Mazatlan, the ship sailed for Acapulco, dropping anchor there on April 28, awaiting an invasion which never came, as tensions between Mexico and the US soon eased. Apparently, some officers of the Dakota, while cooling their heels in Acapulco harbor, “published” this “newspaper”, spoofing how Mexican Revolutionaries - many of whom, in fact, deeply resented the American incursion - might react to the “Gringos” invasion of their country. Written with brutal sarcasm and ridicule, El Acapulco War Cry imagines the Mexicans inventing propaganda claiming the destruction of the warship and its “Yankee pigs” by “heroic soldados”. Probably the only issue of this spoof - and possibly the only surviving copy of the imprint. The Library of Congress catalogue has no mention of this title. Creased; very good. (500/800)

Also included is Moffitt’s obituary and various news clippings. The photographs show James Moffitt as a baby with his mother Margaret, several of James in his childhood, early adulthood, and a few from later in life.

Page 48 RARE 15TH CENTURY PERSIAN MANUSCRIPT OF THE MASNAVI OF MAWLANA, STORIES OF SUFI MYSTICISM 162. (Persian Manuscript) Mawlana Jalaluddin Rumi. The Masnavi [Spiritual Couplets]. 431 leaves plus blanks at front & rear, 17 lines in two columns, surrounded by commentary, with double and triple borders in gold, each page with small triangle of gold and color floral decoration, a few with more elaborate decorations on blue backgrounds. 21x12.5 cm. (8¼x5”), old leather with gilt decorations. Persia: AH 860/AD 1456 Beautifully calligraphed manuscript of the great masterpiece of Mawlana Jalaluddin Rumi, who lived in the 13th century. The Masnavi consists of mainly of sufi teaching stories with profound mystical interpretations. The manuscript is dated in the colophon 1 Jumada 860 (i.e. April 14, 1456), the last year of the reign of Abu’l-Qasim Babur in Khorasan. The scribe who copied the book was Hosayn b.

The articles examined various subjects from governmental issues, to Mickey Spillane to vandalism. The present draft is for the column titled “The New Enemies of ‘The Untouchables’”. The draft begins: “When a culture is dominated by an irrational philosophy, a major symptom of its decadence is the inversion of all values. This can always be seen clearly in the field of art, the best barometer of a culture. In today’s flood of criticism and abuse, unleashed against the television industry, it is the best program that has been singled our for the most persistent denunciation. That program is ‘The Untouchables.’” Provenance: From the collection of Dr. Robert H. Ruby, purchased from Kenneth W. Rendell, Inc. in 2002. Sold to benefit Whitworth University. Fine. (10000/15000)

Several are signed by Spruance, those he did not sign before his sudden and unexpected death in December, 1967 are signed by his son and bear Spruance’s seal. There is additionally a smaller lithograph, approximately 20¾x15 inches, titled “Master of the Pequod”. [Barre, MA]: [Barre Publishers], 1965, 1966, 1967 These haunting images inspired by Melville’s great American novel constitute some of Spruance’s final published work. These are some of the largest lithographs Spruance ever did and he considered this his crowning work. These images were later reproduced via offset lithography in 1968 in an edition of 450 copies with a significantly reduced sheet size of 16 by 22 inches. There are no records of any of the proof sets such as the present collection being offered for sale in at least the past 30 years. There have been at least two major exhibitions of this suite, one as recently as 2003. One of the true rarities of 20th century literary interpretation. Light wear to box; fine. (15000/25000)

SUPPLIED APES FOR THE FIRST TARZAN 202. (Tarzan of the Apes) Edwards, J.S. Autograph Letter, signed on pictorial stationery of Edwards’ Zoo. 2 page Autograph Letter, signed, possibly secretarial, to Henry S. Martin. Approximately 11x8½” on company letterhead, with several photographic portraits. Scranton, PA: Sept. 8, 1904 “...I do not think we can show our animals under canvas, we have an Orang Outang and a Chimpanzee and those specimens contract pneumonia quite easily. We always show in storerooms on account of the character of our exhibitions. We have 70 monkeys in our exhibition, the largest collection of Simians in this country. Also a large collection of other animals...” Five years after the date of this letter, Edwards was accused of having kidnapped a mentally retarded young Black man to put him on “freak” display as “Congo, The Ape Man” - possibly the same “Gorrilla Man” shown on this stationery. In 1914, Edwards moved to Los Angeles and with his partner John Rounan, founded the “E. and R. Jungle Film Co.” to produce Hollywood films starring chimpanzees “with human brains”. In 1917 they contracted to provide apes, monkeys, lions and leopards for the first Tarzan movie based on Edgar Rice Burroughs’ famous novel. Some of the animal scenes were filmed at the E & R studio.

TWO MANUSCRIPT TRAVEL NARRATIVES 205. (Travel Narrative) Lord, James A. Manuscript journal narrating a voyage aboard the Star of Empire, plus a manuscript cargo log book kept by First Mate James A. Lord in 1855. Includes: 40 pp. autograph journal on blue paper. Written in ink on loose 4 pp. signatures. Each 25.5x20.5 cm. (10x8”). * Ship Star of Empire Cargo Book by James A Lord, New York, March 15th ‘55. Approximately 40 pages filled out within a morocco bound lined journal. Many pages left blank. 16.5x10 cm. (6½x4”). * Cabinet card with photograph of James A. Lord. 16.5x10.7 cm. (6½x4¼”). Photographer’s imprint at bottom. 1855-1856 Interesting account of a voyage aboard the ship Star of Empire, written by the First Mate, James A. Lord. The journal begins where he was fired by the Captain (Captain French) before departure, but circumstances forced the Captain to re-hire him. Plus, many interesting stories within of life on the ship, and exchanges with other ships. An interesting exchange with an American ship from Boston, upon leaving Rangoon: “… they had a mutiny on board and the fore castle was full of holes where the Mate had shot at the crews…what a shocking sight…Men complaining of the wounds…and what do you think was the cause of all this…I suppose if the truth was told that it was Rum that caused the mutiny in that Ship…” Plus a long passage about an exchange with the ships Fatima and Meddomac in which a conflict ensued between the captains, a servant girl, the carpenter and Lord, even resulting in a battle. Lord also relates the dynamic between himself and a few others on the ship, particularly the Captain and two people who he says are the Captain’s spies, trying to catch him asleep during his watch. Lord takes many opportunities to denounce the Captain’s actions and activities. He also portrays the Captain’s wife in a very negative manner. There is much description about this conflict and tension between Lord and the Captain, describing various ways the Captain and his wife tried to torment Lord. And finally, a lengthy and descriptive passage about the wreck of the ship, due to foul weather, and according to Lord, poor management and directives by the Captain. There is also reference to the cargo log book, “Capt was running me and interfering with everything I undertook to do and was not in his confidence, never speaking or passing a civil word between us, he never speaking to me only to demand My Log Book, which he never used to do before, but now it was every day and to find fault with it...” The cargo log book is included in the lot and tallies rosin, tobacco, and rice. Blue leaves with scattered spots of soiling or yellowing, some with tiny tears at edges, one signature with (now yellowed) tape repairs to fore edge tears; cargo book rubbed, with some signatures starting to detach, with yellowing and finger soiling to early and late leaves; very good.

Kennedy, then a corporation president in New York: “...Moving from the Dominican Republic to Vietnam is like jumping from the frying pan into the fire, but I must admit that I enjoy being where the action is. Westy and Abe are doing a great job and make an unbeatable first team. I am really proud to be in a position to help them... The message of discontent at home is beginning to get intense to us out here. It is reflected in many things, and I am afraid that, where resources are concerned, the honeymoon is over. We must find a much better way to articulate our very real progress over here. I am afraid that it is simply not coming through...There is a new batch of young representatives out here from the major newspaper and press media, most of them with a chip on their shoulders and definitely hostile to our efforts in Vietnam. We need someone like you to handle such a problem. This could make us or break us out here... P.S. Come on over and help us out, especially with the press et al...” General Bruce Palmer, Jr. (1913-2000) was a 1936 graduate of West Point, where his Academy classmates included Chester Clifton, to whom he wrote this letter, and his two superiors in Vietnam - Generals William Westmoreland (“Westy”) and Creighton Abrams (“Abe”).

ALL SALES HELD BY PBA GALLERIES ARE CONDUCTED PURSUANT TO SECTION 2328 OF THE COMMERCIAL CODE AND SECTION 535 OF THE PENAL CODE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA CONSIGNING BOOKS TO PBA GALLERIES The first step in consigning to PBA is to contact the Galleries, either by phone, fax, email or letter. It can then be determined whether the item or items under consideration would do well at auction. Following this, arrangements can be made for the delivery of the material to PBA. In the case of large consignments or libraries, a member of the staff may be able to view the books on location, and make arrangements for its transportation to PBA Galleries. Because of the costs involved, PBA discourages consignments with a total value of less than $1500. The frequency of auctions, and variety of subject matter, allows PBA Galleries to ensure quick turn-around time for items consigned. Books can appear at auction as quickly as 30 days and generally not more than 90 days following consignment. Commissions vary between 10% and 15%, depending on the selling price of an item.These commissions encompass all related costs including insurance, storage, cataloguing, illustrations, etc., except shipping. Payment is sent within 20 banking days of an auction. Page 76 Page 77 Offer Your Books at Auction through PBA Galleries
