3. (African American) McStearns, T.P. Autograph Letter Signed from an Alabama “Johnny Rebel” in Wisconsin on “Rads” and “Darkies”. 4 pp. To George F. Lowman in Eufaula, Alabama. Monroe, Wisconsin: August 30th, 1868 “…We get up at four oclock in the morning and feed the horses, hogs and milk by breakfast. After breakfast we go to our regular work on the farm…I promised to write to…a host of others around Eufaula… I have some prettie hot times with the rads, they call me that little Johnnie; the cant see to save their lives how I can believe human slavery to be right. They would like to have the Negroes free and have their vote in the coming Presidential election and they would like to have them colonized in some convenient corner where they could huddle them together without much trouble and secure their votes are every election. They are in a tight and they know it. I don’t believe there are a thousand men in the Republican Party who really loves the Negro, but he will condescend to hug and kiss him for his vote and that is their love for poor darkie…” As a “Johnny Reb” transplanted to the north, three years after the Civil War, Stearns exhibited typical racist attitudes, but his cynical assessment of “rad” (Radical Republican) sympathy for African-Americans may not have been entirely off the mark. Very light wear; very good. (150/250)

Page 1 6. (American History) Locker, F[rederick]. Autograph Letter Signed from British poet Frederick Locker, friend of great writers of England and America, predicts war with the United States. 3 pp. [London]: August 6, 1861 Written in the fifth month of the American Civil War to an unknown correspondent in the United States, a fine letter showing Locker’s wide literary acquaintance on both sides of the Atlantic - as well as his fear of future Anglo-American conflict: “…I returned to England a week or two ago and found your kind letter and parcels awaiting me. I am charmed to have the large paper edition of Praed’s Poem’s…I sent the copies to Mr. Coleridge and Mr. [Willkie?] Collins and had acknowledgements from both…I have written to Mr. Holmes to thank him for his 2 Vols. I did receive Mr. Saxe’s letter, as also one from Mr. Longfellow and Mr. Bryant. I have not heard from Mr. Lowell… I am not sorry to have Whitman, as he is a curiosity…I hope if you ever come across a notice of my book you will kindly send it me…I congratulate you on your late War successes, but you know it is very difficult for an Englishman to satisfy an American of the warmth of his sympathy. Your newspapers say that America should declare war with England…I have talked to many Americans and they all say, and I believe them, that when the War is over, the North will declare War with England. Now we do not wish to go to War, and it is very difficult for us to sympathize with a nation that intends to go to War with us when it suits them. If the North overcame the South, which you say is not far distant, I feel sure they will declare War with England…” Frederick Locker-Lampson (1821-1895) was a Victorian poet and famed bibliophile - his Rowfant collection, “one of the famous private libraries of the world”, was sold in America after his death. A friend of the great British writers of his time - Tennyson, Browning, Carlyle, Thackeray, Dickens, Trollope, Eliot, Rossetti, Swinburne and Stevenson, he had also had both personal and literary ties across the Atlantic – in this remarkable letter, he mentions Oliver Wendell Holmes, William Cullen Bryant, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, James Russell Lowell and Walt Whitman. So his fears, expressed here, early in the American Civil War, of a future war between the United States and England, were particularly poignant. Small chip out of top edge, some spots of yellow, closed tear at fore edge of center crease; very good. (400/600)

LETTERS RELATED TO THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION 8. (American Revolution) Armstrong, John. Autograph Letter Signed from discredited General, praising disgraced financier. 1 pp. + Stampless address leaf. Lower Red Hook, [New York]: Sept. 14th, 1821 To Thomas Morris, New York: “I shall be much obliged by an opportunity of perusing the public letters of your father, Mr. R. Morris, while Superintendent of Finance. Their connexion with the fortunes of the War and the eventual prosperity of the country, is both more intimate and more extended than is generally known. His contemporaries alone can truly estimate them and as one of those, I shall have great pleasure in reading them. The steam boats land a mail at Upper Red Hook Landing, where the book may be safely left…” During the Revolutionary War, Armstrong was aide-de-camp to several of Washington’s commanders, while his father, a Major General of the Continental Army, played an important part in several key battles of the War. Robert Morris, meanwhile, a signer of both the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution, was the powerful Superintendent of Finance of the United States, responsible not only for financing the War, but for managing the entire economy of the struggling new nation. After the War, he fell on hard times, imprudent speculation in millions of acres of land driving him to bankruptcy and three years in a debtor’s prison before his death in 1806. Armstrong had good reason to sympathize with Morris’ fall from grace: During the War of 1812, while serving as President Madison’s Secretary of War, Armstrong left Washington, D.C. undefended and

Page 2 was blamed for the capture and burning of the Capitol by the British invaders. Like Morris, he learned that the democratic public, after shouting its last hurrah, could be fickle and unforgiv- ing. It’s uncertain to what Morris “book” Armstrong refers in this letter. Thomas Morris inher- ited his father’s voluminous official letter-books and other papers, and in 1830, loaned these manuscripts to historian Jared Sparks to use in a book about Revolutionary diplomacy - but the full text of the Morris correspondence was not published until the 1970s. Small tear at opening of original wax seal, a bit of blue paper stuck to left edge of letter, yellow spots of soiling to address leaf; very good. (300/500)

Yellowed with age; very good. (250/350)

SUFFRAGETTE & FIRST WOMAN MINISTER IN AMERICA 17. Blackwell, Antoinette Brown. Archive of Antoinette Brown Blackwell, suffragette and first ordained woman minister in America. Small archive of her family correspondence, some written by her, most written to her and other members of the Brown and Blackwell families. Includes: 4 Autograph Letters Signed, 1842-45; 17 postcards, 15 with Autograph Notes Signed and 2 with printed messages, 1878-1905; and 3 Autograph Letters/Notes Signed, 1901-03. 1842-1903 Antoinette Louisa Brown Blackwell (1825-1921) was born in upstate New York in a family of ten children. In 1846, at age 21, she entered Oberlin College, one of the few American univer- Page 4 sities that then admitted both men and women. There she met future suffragette leader Lucy Stone, who became her lifelong friend. After completing a literary course, over the objections of shocked family and friends, she went on to study Theology at Oberlin, completing her course- work, though her professors refused to give her credentials to become a Protestant Minister, an unheard of vocation for women in 1850. Nevertheless, she persevered as an itinerant preacher and in 1853 received appointment as Pastor of a New York church –the first formally-appointed woman Minister in America. Becoming active in the anti-slavery, temperance and women’s rights movements, she resigned her pastorate and married like-minded reformer Samuel Black- well, whose brother had married Lucy Stone a few months earlier. The Blackwell brothers’ sister, Elizabeth, had also made history, becoming the first woman M.D. in America. During the rest of her long life, Antoinette was a women’s rights activist, in close association with Lucy Stone and Susan B. Anthony, a scientific scholar, author of eight books and mother of six daughters. Among the varied papers in this archive is the earliest known letter by Antoinette, written to her brother, February 7, 1842, at age 16, while holding her first teaching job after graduating from a girl’s academy and already dreaming of college. Two other letters were written by her, nearly sixty years later, after he husband’s death, to a daughter who suffered from mental illness. One postcard was written by feminist Phebe Hanaford, called “America’s first certifiable lesbian minister”; two by astronomer Maria Mitchell, who headed the Association for the Advancement of Women, in which Antoinette was active; and one (signed with initials) by famed suffragette Elizabeth Cady Stanton, then compiling her classic 5-volume history of women’s suffrage, who asked Antoinette to “ give us a chapter of your reminiscences, with all the wit, humor, [pathos?] you can throw into it. Your work in temperance, women’s rights, the church, literary, religious, political, social, your reflections, philosophy and prophesying, etc. , your college experiences, your first acquaintance with Lucy, Susan, Lucretia, and how they influenced you.” There are also 3 Autograph Notes Signed by Alice Stone Blackwell, Lucy’s daughter, who was Secretary of Susan B. Anthony’s Woman Suffrage Association and editor of its Woman’s Journal. Other early letters and later notes are from and to Brown and Blackwell family members, including Antoi- nette’s sister (who with their brother, died of fever shortly before Antoinette left for Oberlin. A detailed summary of the papers is available by request. Mostly mild wear with age; very good. (4000/6000)

Page 5 FIRST WOMAN DOCTOR IN AMERICA BUYS BLACK BABY FOR DISSECTION 18. Blackwell, Elizabeth. Autograph Letter Signed with her initial, from the first woman doctor in America, about buying a black baby for dissection. 3 pp. including stampless address leaf. To her brother S.[amuel] C. Blackwell, Cincinnati. New York: August 5, 1847 “…I had just been arranging with Mrs. Wright to purchase a black baby and dissect with the assistance of Dr. Keller a German anatomist who is acquainted with all the newest discoveries and possesses a microscope of rare power.” When she wrote these startling words, 26 year-old Elizabeth Blackwell, after two years in North and South Carolina teaching school (including unsanctioned classes for African-American slave children) to earn enough money to pursue her wild dream, had moved to Philadelphia to begin applying to Medical Schools. This jaunt to New York for a reunion with her sisters Marian and Anna came after 3 months of rejection from a half dozen schools and the advice of a sympathetic physician that she sail for Paris to attend classes disguised as a man. Meanwhile, she had begun taking private Anatomy lessons, arranging to buy the corpse of a dead Negro baby for dissection, with the help of Mrs. Paulina Wright – a rich widow (later a famous suffragette) who would tour the country giving shock- ing Anatomy lectures to women, using as prop an imported French mannequin. Unfortunately, Elizabeth wrote, “Mrs. Wright and I cannot study satisfactorily together; she wants to get a rapid general knowledge for immediate use, I want to study it out thoroughly as a foundation.” It was in a dejected mood that Elizabeth had come to New York to give “myself up thoroughly to the enjoyment of that rare thing, a holiday… not to study or think or do anything that I had been accustomed to do, but walk and bathe and sleep, laugh and flirt – in fact, be a regular medical student…but I do assure you it will do me a world of good if I can entirely throw off my usual self for a few weeks…” Though this large city, where she had lived as a child before her family moved to Ohio, was not a perfect setting for relaxation. “…I experienced an unutterable disgust in entering the whited sepulcher of a city, and am positively rejoiced at the prospect of leaving. I have not the slightest wish to renew my acquaintance with any person or place that I’ve ever know before…” Other parts of the city, were “beautiful, gay and varied as a flower garden, but it made me bitter – I wanted to burn it down…” Elizabeth was in the same dejected mood when her eccentric sister Anna, about to join a Socialist commune, introduced Elizabeth to her friends Albert Brisbane, a leading proponent of Socialism, and Mrs. Mary Gove, another notorious lecturer on Anatomy, described by a biographer as “one of the most infamous and influential women in America, a radical social reformer” who preached equality in marriage, free love, and the health risks of corsets and masturbation. Elizabeth “drank tea and took dinner with Mrs.

Lot 18

Page 6 Gove, but I don’t like her, [tho?] she is a woman of energy. I could not feel at ease in her society, in the first place, too much had been said about me to her, I knew it and felt constrained, then our natures are so different that I felt out of my sphere with her…when I sat with Anna & Bris- bane and Mrs. Gove, I felt so completely out of my sphere, that I felt a sudden intense disgust, and wanted to set my foot upon them and crush them, like so many spiders – but instead of that, I sat perfectly mute and went away without having said six sentences…” Her visit was not entirely wasted. While seriously considering emigration to Paris, she sent twelve more letters of application to medical schools in rural New York. Some 80 days later, Elizabeth finally received a positive response from a small college in Geneva, New York, informing her that the school’s medical students had voted (though, unknown to her, merely as a joke) to allow her to join them - “which some may deem bold in the present state of society…” Two years after that, Eliza- beth Blackwell would make history as the first woman to receive a Medical degree in America. Early letters of Elizabeth Blackwell are rarely found outside of institutions, most of her family correspondence being held by the Library of Congress and the Radcliffe-Schlesinger Library at Harvard. This letter is one of a number, unknown to historians, which will be offered by PBA Galleries in coming months. Full transcript of the text available on request. Some yellowing; very good.

William Shepard Wetmore (Jan. 26, 1801- June 16, 1862) was born in Vermont, and raised by his aunt and uncle in Connecticut following the death of his mother when he was one years old. William’s uncle, Samuel Wetmore, was a merchant and at age 14 William went to sea. In 1823, he was ship- wrecked near Valparaiso, to which port he had Lot 26 gone as supercargo of Page 9 one of the ships of Edward Carrington & Co., of Providence, a business partner of his uncle. In Valparaiso he went to work for the firm Richard Alsop of Middletown, Connecticut. This eventually led to a partnership of Alsop, Wetmore and Cryder in 1825 with John Cryder of Philadelphia. He retired from the firm around 1831, and, apparently on advice from his doctor, left for Canton, China where in 1833 he established the firm of Wetmore & Co. with Joseph Archer of Philadelphia. The company went on to be one of the largest mercantile houses in the East Indies brokering tea, tea papers, silks, spices, wines, ports, hemp, pearl buttons, copper and coffee, and on occasion opium, though apparently in lesser quantities than rival British houses. Creased, some minor wear; about fine. (3000/5000)

LETTERS FROM THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR 29. (Civil War) Botsford, R.S. Autograph Letter Signed from an Illinois officer, recounting an 1864 Richmond-Petersburg Campaign. 10pp. (with 3 additional pages of unrelated philosophical thoughts). On stationery of the New Hampshire Fire Insurance Co. Waukegan, Illinois. Waukegan, Illinois: August 16, 1910

Page 10 To W.H. Jenkins, a fellow officer of the 39TH Illinois, who later wrote a regimental account for the Illinois Historical Society. Botsford here sets down his memories of a regimental skirmish at the James River during General Grant’s 1864 Richmond-Petersburg Campaign. Thirty years earlier, Bostford had prepared a similar reminiscence, included in an 1880 published Regimental history, but this letter is both more detailed and frank, etched in Botsford’s memory for a half century because he nearly died from heat prostration, exhaustion and illness. Brief excerpts which give the flavor of this spirited, literate reminiscence: “…the boys had jumped the enemy’s earthworks…turned the surrendering rebels to the rear…and pursued the retreating enemy. After the successful bayonet charge, there was but a …disorganized mass…We had moved after the Johnnies in a mob like order and knew that we could be of little use in case of meeting the Rebs in that formation…I thought I could halt them by shouting for them to stop and cool off. It worked…I picked up an officer’s sword remarking that it was ground to an edge. There were many muskets lying around and in the trench…there was no other officer of the 39th present… six stands of colors was seen in the near distance marching quickly toward us…All of us had a holy terror of Andersonville or Libby prisons. We must retreat or be captured. To attempt to resist such a force would be madness…We realized our losses. More than half of the regiment had failed to reach the rebel works. 7 out of 11 officers…were killed or wounded. I was the only one that escaped… to keep the regiment from falling in the enemy’s hands by their hazardous and reckless pursuit…We retreated. …I was that night detailed to command the picket line. I was desperately tired and exhausted…” Next morning, though ill with Typhoid fever, Botsford stood “at the entrance to the field, under a flag of truce, where our dead were being brought in for burial. This to a sick man was a horrible scene…a sickening sight…those blackened, blasted and stinking bodies as they passed before me..From that time for many weeks I can remember but little. Sick, near to death….“ Some yellowing and light wear at corners; very good. (250/350)

34. (Civil War) Sedgwick, Catherine Maria. Autograph Letter Signed “CMS” from novelist Catherine Sedgwick on Civil War nursing. 4 pp. Addressed to Abigail Hopper Gibbons. Woodbourne, Massachusetts: December 27, 1862 “…I received from you…the last year’s report…I am not quite ready to do anything you desire of me and only await the papers to embody something in this year’s report…I hear that Grace is to be here on Monday for a short visit. On many accounts I still cling to the hope that she may relinquish her Hospital plan - but if she goes it will be an infinite consolation to have her with you, & Sally - I trust I shall hear when you go, & where...Such a blessing as your Ministry tho afforded at great cost to those at home, shd. not be withheld from our suffering soldiers…” Called “the first noted female writer in America”, Catherine Sedgwick (1789-1867) published nearly a dozen novels, but was also active in the Womens Prison Association of New York, founded by social reformer “Abby” Gibbons to aid poor Irish women alcoholics. At the start of the Civil War, Gibbons was among the first women to volunteer as a nurse for Union Army soldiers. After setting up military hospitals in Washington and Maryland, but failing in her bid to become Superintendent of Army Nurses (a position given to Dorothea Dix, famed champion of the mentally ill) Abigail, joined by her daughter Sarah (called “Sally”), and Grace Sedgwick, Catherine’s 19 year-old niece, trekked to Virginia battlefields to care for the thousand wounded soldiers who suffered terribly in makeshift field hospitals. Catherine’s concern, in this letter, for her young niece’s welfare, was more than justified, as the nurses were in constant danger of capture by Confederate troops. When Texas Rangers burst into Grace’s room in Virginia, demanding to know if there were any “damned Yankees” around, the girl who had hidden Union flags and letters under the mattress of her bed, replied, “Yes, I am a Yankee, but not a damned one.” A bit of ink smudging to page 1, plus small piece of paper stuck to top left corner of page 1; very good. (400/600)

35. (Civil War) Shackelford, William. Autograph Letter Signed from a Union soldier on the fate of Jefferson Davis. 3 pp. on U.S. Christian Commission letterhead. Knoxville, Tenn.: June 17th, 1865 To his mother, expressing the hope that he would soon be mustered out, though “it is all guess work with us, we can’t see a day ahead with any certainty…I think they have old Jeff in a safe place but there is no telling what they will do with him. They ought to take him and all the rest that helped starve the prisoners in their hands and hang them to a tree and let every soldier have a shot at them. I don’t believe there would be much left of them then…” Shackelford was a Private of the 22nd Independent Battery, Ohio Light Artillery, which fought at Gettysburg and Cumberland Gap and was moved to Knoxville for garrison duty in 1864. This letter was written two months after Lee’s surrender, one month after Jefferson Davis was imprisoned in Virginia – and less than a month before Shackelford’s Battery was indeed mustered out. Split at centerfold,

36. (Civil War) Trench, Richard C. Autograph Letter Signed from the future Archbishop of Dublin predicting Union defeat. 4 pp. To his American publisher Charles Scribner. Westminster: Nov. 5, 1863 “I am much concerned to find that there been so much carelessness in the matter of forwarding to you the latest sheets of the Greek Synonyms. Macmillan promised instantly to repair this… and I trust these late sheets reached you in time to prevent any serious loss or convenience…I wish from my heart of hearts I could see any happy end of your troubles. If the thing which you are attempting were do-able, I feel sure that with the vigour, self sacrifice and energy which you have displayed and are still displaying, you would do it: but I must also believe in common with almost every thoughtful man in England that the thing is in itself impossible, and that sooner or later you must come to the acknowledgment that it is so….” A prolific writer, author of a shelf books of history, philology, theology, and poetry, many of which were reprinted in the United States, Trench was considered a man of “liberal and genial spirit” with perhaps more sympathy for the Yankees during the Civil War than was shown by other British notables. Two years after he wrote this letter, he became the Anglican Archbishop of Dublin. A few faint yellow spots; very good. (200/300)

37. (Civil War) Unknown. Autograph letter from a student writing from Andover Theology Seminary in 1862. 4 pp. Unsigned, missing at least 1 page at end. 9¾x7¾. Addressed to “My Dear Friend Hayes.” Andover: June 24, 1862 A letter which discusses the cause of the Civil War. The young man presents his opinion, which at times, seems contary to the recipient’s own opinion, discussed in a previous letter. He writes in part, “You certainly will not accuse the great Republican party of the first act lending to disunion. Will you point to the first clause in the Chicago platform that favors, or tends to provoke disunion sentiment?...Wm Lloyd Garisson, Wendell Phillips, Parker Rillsbury who by their inflamable speeches & petty acts have doen much to excite the South. But what can they accomplish that will really injure anyone? This party is as insignificant & powerless as the Union party at the South now is...” He also writes about the abolition of slavery. Light edge wear and yellowing; very good. (200/300)

Written to his brother George in New York. Bermuda Hundred, Virginia: Oct 29, 1864 “…The Army of the James is back in its old position again; the losses in the late movement are not by any means large. From the Army of the Potomac, we have nothing reliable…you in New York have more information in regard to the fighting of the last two or three days than we. I fear… the late attempt to take the Southside Road has proved a failure… Grant will not lay idle but will immediately make another push…There are going to be a great many fine opportunities to go into business in the section of the country after the war is over; there is no reason why this region should not be one of the most wealthy and productive in the land. Just look at the York river with not a single village…its whole length. The James has not even a hamlet upon its banks all the way… to Richmond…And yet there used to be a very considerable trade done on both of these rivers. Ten years from the close of this war will work a great change in this country. Towns and villages are bound to spring up and commerce will increase amazingly… Norfolk is bound to be a large city. Its location is almost as fine as one could select for a commercial town. The great draw back to my going into business here however is that I would have to leave home and friends and I think I have been separated from the long enough already….” While General Grant, failing to cut off the railroad lines to Richmond, freed Union forces at Bermuda Hundred from a Confederate bottleneck, leaving the Virginia town a busy supply depot during the long siege of Petersburg – Quartermaster Captain Walbridge of the New York Infantry, directing a staff of “industrious” African-Americans in laborious duties, had time to think about the profitable future.

Page 19 IMPORTANT ARCHIVE OF LETTERS FROM IRA GERSHWIN DISCUSSING BROTHER GEORGE, PORGY & BESS, THE MUSIC INDUSTRY & MORE 63. Gershwin, Ira. Archive of over 150 autograph and typed letters signed by Ira Gershwin to Edward Jablonski, spanning forty years, plus a few telegraphs, typed lyrics, etc. One to four pages each, signed in full, as Ira, or initialed, a few with signatures clipped off. Complete listing of the letters by date available. An extraordinary archive of letters from lyricist Ira Gershwin (1896-1983), offering rare insights into the mind and method of his brother and collaborator, composer George Gershwin, and the production of George’s masterpiece Porgy and Bess. On May 26th, 1961, in perhaps the most significant letter in the collection, discussing Porgy and Bess and George Gershwin’s perception of the production, Ira writes: “As for ‘opera’ or even ‘grand opera; - of course. ‘Folk opera’ was a compromise arrived at so as to not scare the general public – or, rather – the average theatre-goer, away. I’m sure that somewhere I’ve written or told that the Met was eager to produce the work and that Otto Kahn offered George a bonus of $5,000 if the Met could have it. (George was flattered but realizing that at best the work could get a guarantee of 4, possibly 6, performances he turned it down for Broadway)…” The letters are written to Edward Jablonski, beginning when the latter was still in high school – Jablonski was to become an important historiographer of musicians, publishing numerous works including a major biography of George Gershwin, who died of a brain tumor in 1937. Jablonksi also founded Walden Records in 1952, releasing many rare compositions by Gershwin and other musicians of the day. The correspondence not only provides a remarkable record of Ira and George Gershwin and the younger Jablonski, but also gives a vivid picture of the world of music and show business in the 1940s and 1950s, the period when nearly 90% of the letters were written. Gershwin writes much on his brother and his legacy (a good deal of his time was spent in managing the estate), his own ongoing projects in Hollywood and New York, his opinions of actors, actresses and singers, criticism of composers and lyricists, reviews of movies and dramatic productions, and his thoughts on new records being released, through Jablonski’s Walden as well as Columbia and other major players. The archive comprises a rare assemblage of UNPUBLISHED correspondence crucial to understanding the music and entertainment industry in the mid-20th century. Various places: 1941-1980

Page 20 In an undated cover letter to the collection that Jablonski wrote prior to his death in 2004 at age 81, he tells how the correspondence came about: “Late in 1940, while in high school, I began a correspondence, and as it turned out, a friendship with Ira Gershwin. Some months before I had become captivated by the music of George Gershwin and during the course of my research at the local library came across Ira’s address in a current Who’s Who. I had to tell him how I felt about his brother’s music and their songs. My first letter went to his home in Beverly Hills and was forwarded to Boston where he was with the first major work since his brother’s death, Lady in the Dark. To my delight, and I might add, surprise, Ira answered my letter and encour- aged further writing – a bit of a mistake, for I became a letter writing pest. But he was patient, understanding, never patronizing and, as I learned years later, saved my letters…” The initial letter Jablonski wrote to Ira Gershwin is present with the collection, a rambling, six-page missive written from Bay City, Michigan, on New Year’s Eve, 1940: “…It all began, once upon a time, when I was listening to Raymond Paiges’ ‘Musical Americana,’ the announcer announced that Mr. Paige would play ‘Rhapsody in Blue.’ To a young fellow (I am 18) unschooled in music, this didn’t mean much. Then ‘Rhapsody’ began. You know – the clarinet. My ears pricked up. ‘why’ I said ‘there’s the music I like…’” After much rambling about his devotion to the music of George Gershwin, Jablonski concludes “Please, just don’t disregard this letter. An answer would mean so much to me and I would be ever so grateful.” Answer Ira did, as he would many times over the next four decades. The first reply was on Jan 9, 1941: “Dear Ed Jablonski [it wasn’t until 1949, after writing some fifty letters, that it became simply ‘Ed’], I understand perfectly. I feel that way about him too. And there are many like us. I still get letters about him from places as far as New Zealand…” * June 18, 1941: “…Now as to those questions. ‘Short Story’ was a piece that might have been included in the ‘Preludes’. George wrote this at a very early age. Samuel Duskin heard it and asked if he couldn’t arrange it for the violin. George agreed to it… There is an actual 4th prelude, however – unpublished. Since it is in 32 bar song form I’m going to put a lyric to it some day…” * September 22, 1941, on the lookout for copyright infringement: “Never heard of the Haynes-Griffin Co. and their album of excepts from ‘P. & B’ and ‘American in Paris’ etc. I imagine what they are offering are records of broadcasts like the one at the Hollywood Bowl of which I sent you a program. If it’s something else, I’d appreciate your letting me know. And thanks for the tip on records issued by the Commodore Music Shop. I’ll write them…” * April 6, 1942: “…Regarding ‘135th Street’ I feel that George wouldn’t have cared particularly about recording it because it was written in such a hurry and because ‘Porgy and Bess’ said in a much more mature way anything ‘135th Street’ had to say.” * Sept. 1, 1943, about the upcoming film biography of his brother: “I went over to the Warner lot the other day and saw a couple of se- quences from ‘Rhapsody in Blue’. I though they weren’t bad at all and that the unknown playing my brother captures a good deal of the spirit. It is of course too early to know how it’s all going to turn out but it is obvious that both Mr. Lasky the producer and Mr. Rapper, the director, were trying hard to make a worthy film…” * Oct. 30, 1943, “Sorry you missed ‘Girl Crazy’… I haven’t seen it either… I hear the story isn’t too original but that all the numbers are well done and it’s really a tribute to the vitality of George’s music that no interpolations have been made in the score and as for the lyrics I had to change only a couple of lines…” * Jablonksi had of course gone into the service, and on August 10, 1944: “…I don’t know whether you’re still in New Guinea or not – I rather imagine you’d rather not if your still there. From what I read long before the war the only spot it was better than was some of those spots in Abyssinia. Well cheer up. There are worse even than those. For instance 13 days in the Essex House in N.Y that I spent during the hottest spell they’d known when I used to work until 4 or 5 in the morning and then try to sleep in a half-filled bathtub for a few hours, then go back to the grind again to find a new rhyme…” * July 5, 1945: “…I was a groom once but never had been a best man. Vin- cente Minnelli asked me to be his b.m. when he married Judy Garland so it was I who handed over the ring and now nobody can say I’ve never been a best man. Saw ‘Junior Miss’ and ‘The Lost Week-End’ in projection rooms. Both excellent movies – Don’t miss them when they get around…” * September 17th 1945, protective of his brother’s musical legacy: “I didn’t see that article in ‘Metronome’ but I did see a digest of it in ‘Newsweek’ a couple of weeks ago. I found what I read a malicious outpouring rather than an analytical criticism and therefore too special to be much concerned about. Generally, any unfavorable notice of my brother’s music doesn’t bother me too much. So someone doesn’t like ‘Rhapsody’ or ‘American in Paris’ or whatever it is. So someone is entitled to his opinion. So all right. What does bother me is when I see phrases like ‘naïve orchestration’ or ‘structural ignorance’ as though my brother were just a terribly talented fellow (which they grant) who somehow stumbled into the concert hall, was impudent

Page 21 enough to take advantage of it, put on a high pressure sales talk – and got away with it. With these critics there is an utter disregard of the facts that George from the age of 13 or 14 never let up in his studies of so-called classical foundations …” * On March 11, 1948, Ira runs afoul of the red-baiters: “As for being investigated by the Thomas Committee should you go to an institution Thomas doesn’t approve of – you ought to feel you don’t belong if you aren’t subpoe- naed. As you may or may not know I was recently summoned by the Tenney Committee (our local Un-American seekers) because a meeting of the Committee for the First Amendment was held at my home. It turned out to be nothing, but it’s pretty bad that these committees have the power to drag you to them just because someone’s uncle said he thought you were wearing what seemed to him a red tie at a football game last fall…” * September 28, 1951, after congratulating Jablonski on his marriage: “Glad you agree that Columbia did a remarkable job with ‘Porgy and Bess.’ Those who questioned he recitatives will now, if they’re at all musical, understand and appreciate that it wasn’t composer’s indulgence but powerful and authentic musical setting in the plot lines…” * May 18, 1954: “Saw rough cut of ‘Star is Born’ last night. Fine acting and singing beautiful production. Has to be cut considerably though as it ran three hours and eleven minutes and a musical specialty of five to seven popular songs has yet to be added (‘Melancholy Baby’ ‘Peanut Vendor’ ‘I’ll Get By’ ‘Swanee’ and one or two others) which will take, I imagine, twelve to fifteen minutes. This is the spot that’s to close the first half of the picture and it was decided that any one new number wouldn’t be socky enough…”Gershwin adds, in reference to the tenuous finances of Jablonski’s record company, “Best to you and yours and hope that hole of red ink Walden is swimming in turns into a nice, clean pool of black.” There is much more fabulous content, a tremendous archive of major importance. Varying amounts of wear, but well preserved and overall very good or better. (80000/120000)

Grant, still in command of the United States Army, and a year and a half from becoming President of the United States, writes to the young Mexican envoy Matias Romero, who for the past four years had been representing Benito Juarez in Washington, lobbying for U.S. action against Maximilian I, supposed emperor of Mexico who was supported by the French. Maximilian had been defeated and captured by Juarez’s forces on May 15th, 1867, and was executed a month later. Romero was thus on his way home, and Grant writes to him, in part: ““Señor Don M. Romero, My Dear Sir, You letter written from Charleston was duly received and I would have dropped you a line then had I supposed it possible you would have been detained so long. The detention must have been very trying to you and particularly so to your mother and sister. Washington is beginning to assume and appearance of more activity in view of Congress meeting earlier than usual this winter many members are now here looking up winter quarters... I hope you will find everything quiet in your country and the prospects bright for a speedy restoration of law and order. No Mexican desires more than I do the prosperity and progress of your country. I want to see it a strong and thriving and growing Republic, intimately associated with our own in trade and commerce, and the two in such relations to each other that they will be a mutual support. Please express to your most excellent president my congratulations upon his triumphant reelection for the presidency of the republic...

Newspaper is 55x42.5 cm. (21½x16¾”), archivally framed under plexiglass. [New York?]: c. Nov. 30, 1935 William Randolph Hearst, newspaper magnate with enormous political influence, comments on two short articles in his newspaper the New York American, one about Bruno Hauptmann, alleged kidnapper of Charles Lindbergh’s baby son, the other about the opinion a group of clergymen had of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The first article begins “Bruno Hauptman is innocent in the opinion of his new spiritual advisor, the Rev. John Matthieson, pastor of the Trinity Lu- theran Church…” The second article is headlined “Clerics Hail Roosevelt as Toilers’ Friend. 47 Pastors and Religious Educators, However, Urge Him To Go Further in ‘Move Left,’” and lauds the president for “doing more for the working people than any previous Administration…” The 72-year-old Hearst sees a commonality of theme in the stories, and is decidedly uncompliment- ary to the Democratic president: “Dear Mr. Delucaras (?), Many clergymen are good souls and mean well but are painfully innocent and unpractical and ignorant of the ways of the world. One such yesterday discovered that murderer Hauptman is a gentleman and a child of God consequently a gentleman and a child of God does not lie and consequently Hauptman is innocent… Several other worthy clergymen assembled and decided that President Roosevelt was also to all intents and purposes a child of God and couldn’t lie although on frequent occasions he

Page 24 has ???? something vaguely resembling a contract ???? desperately near it. These good clergymen concluded that Roosevelt is the toilers’ friend and that he ought to go still further to the left than he has gone - even to the jumping off place and that the profit system ought to be abolished and that the government ought to take over the basic industries and so on and so forth… There are to be sure a few people in the country more radically unbalanced than this but they for the most part are in asylums. Exactly how the toiler is benefited by the government bureau- cracy to the breaking point the industry which must in the last analysis provide him with employment and exactly how industry is to be benefited by taking it out of the hands of competent and experienced business men and putting it in the hands of incompetent and very largely dishonest politicians the reverent clerics do not say… In the first steamer that sails with deported commu- nists a few berths should be reserved for reverend but red eyed radical children of God who mean well perhaps but teach subversive nonsense.” After penning this revealing diatribe, Hearst evidently turned it over to his personal secretary Joseph Willicombe for transcription.

INSPIRED LINCOLN’S GETTYSBURG ADDRESS 81. (Lincoln, Abraham) Parker, Theodore. Anti-Slavery Sermon that inspired Lincoln’s words at Gettysburg. 56 pp. (8vo) original printed wrappers. First Edition. Boston: Crosby, Nichols, & Company, 1853 William Herndon’s copy, signed by him (“W.H. Herndon”) twice on front wrapper, once on title page, and once on rear blank wrapper. Herndon was Abraham Lincoln’s law partner in Springfield, Illinois from 1845 until Lincoln’s inauguration as President in 1861. A more passionate opponent of slavery than Lincoln, Herndon was particularly moved by the sermons and speeches of that most eloquent of “radical” Abolitionists, Boston clergyman Theodore Parker, printings of which Herndon assiduously collected, sometimes passing on his copies to Lincoln. In the three-volume Lincoln biography which Herndon co-authored, 24 years after the President’s death, Herndon recalled that after a visit to Boston in 1858, “I brought with me additional sermons and lectures by Theodore Parker, who was warm in his commendation of Lincoln. One of these was a lecture on “The Effect of Slavery on the American People” which was delivered in the Music Hall in Boston, and which I gave to Lincoln, who read and returned it. He liked especially the following expression, which he marked with a pencil, and which he in substance afterwards used in his Gettysburg address: ‘Democracy is direct self-government, over all the people, for all the people, by all the people.” Herndon’s memory was faulty. Parker did not deliver the anti-slavery lecture until July 1858, five months after Herndon returned from Boston. But Parker had used the phrase before, first in an 1850 speech to a New England Anti- Slavery convention (reprinted in 1863) and again in this 1852 sermon, “Some Account of My Ministry”. On page 52 of the first printing of that sermon, are the words “I have great faith in America; in the American idea; in the ideal of our government - a government of all the people, by all the people, for all the people.” Offered here is Herndon’s own copy of that first 1853 printing of these famous words – possibly the only version of these words which were in print when Herndon briefly met Parker in Boston five years later. In a recent study of the Gettysburg Address, Professor A.E. Elmore concluded that “one or more” of these three speeches of Parker’s “was almost certainly Lincoln’s actual source for the famous phrase”. While it’s possible that Herndon also owned another printing of the 1852 sermon which he gave Lincoln, there is no record of such a copy in Herndon’s personal library, much of which was later acquired by the great Lincoln collector Oliver Barrett. This then, seems to be the only known printing of the Parker sermon with clear Herndon provenance – whether or not it was the copy Herndon actually loaned to Abraham Lincoln which inspired one of the most famous oratorical phrases in American history. Some wear at edges, cello-tape repairs to spine, old institutional stamp on front wrapper (Historical & Philosophical Society of Ohio); very good.

Various places: Various dates Significant little archive relating to the Brandywine Iron Works and Nail Factory of Coatesville, Pennsylvania and its successor companies, now called the Lukens Steel Company, the oldest steel mill in commission within the United States. Founded by Isaac Pennock in 1793 as The Federal Slitting Mill, the company was run by Pennock’s son-in-law Dr. Charles Lloyd Lukens until his death in 1825, at which point the operation was left to his widow, Rebecca W. Luckens. This inheritance made Rebecca Lukens the first woman in the United States to be a part of the iron industry. She was also the first female chief executive officer of an industrial company. When Rebecca retired in 1847 she became a silent partner with Abraham Gibbons, who was one of her sons-in-law, and was the sole manager of the mill. The company was known as A. Gibbons and Company. The following year Gibbons took on his brother-in-law, Dr. Charles Huston as a partner. In 1849 the men renamed the mill Gibbons and Huston. Gibbons had married Rebecca’s oldest daughter Martha, while Dr. Charles Huston married the youngest Isabella. The archive captures an important moment in the industrialization of the United States, the remarkable success of the hard-headed business-woman Rebecca Lukens, and the expansion of the iron and steel industry that laid the basis for America’s industrial might. Varying amounts of wear, overall very good. (2000/3000)

DOUGLAS MACARTHUR CONSOLES GRIEVING FATHER 83. MacArthur, Douglas. Typed Letter Signed by Douglas MacArthur, offering condolences to the father of a soldier killed on the Philippines, plus 12 letters from the soldier, Lt . Ralph Amato, Jr., to his sister. Letter from Douglas MacArthur to Ralph Amato, Sr., on letterhead of Commander-in-Chief, United States Army Forces, Pacific, 25 October 1945. * 11 letters & 1 Christmas card, typed and handwritten, from Lt. Ralph Amato, Jr., in the Philippines to his sister and brother-in-law, Mr. & Mrs. C.J. Peters in Seattle, Washington, with the original envelopes. Oct. 14, 1940-Nov, 12, 1942. * 3 autograph letters from Ensign William A. Marshall to the Peters. Nov. 4, 1941-Jan. 4, 1942. * Autograph letter from Midshipman Basil. J. Parish to the Peters, Nov. 26, 1941. * Typed postcard sent to Mrs. Clayton J. Peters from Amateur Radio Station W6CUU, noting that “Your message addressed to Lt. Ralph Amato Jr. Manila cannot be forwarded. All amateur radio stations closed Dec. 7th/41 by government order.” Philippines, etc.: 1940-1945 Significant and somewhat poignant archive highlighted by the letter from General Douglas MacArthur, but supported by the no-less significant letters from an American soldier in the Phil- ippines in the year leading up to the outbreak of war in the Pacific. MacArthur writes to Lt. Am- ato’s father, “My deepest sympathy goes to you in the death of your son, Captain Ralph Amato, Jr. [evidently he was promoted after the outbreak of hostilities]. You may have some consolation

Page 28 in the memory that he, along with his comrades-in-arms who died on Bataan and Corregidor and in prison camps, gave his life for his country. It was largely their magnificent courage and sacrifices which stopped the enemy in the Philippines and gave us the time to arm ourselves for our return to the Philippines and the final defeat of Japan. Their names will be enshrined in our country’s glory forever. In your son’s death I have lost a gallant comrade and mourn with you. Yours faithfully, Douglas MacArthur.” Captain Amato, who died on a Japanese prison ship on January 9, 1945, was a graduate of Franklin High School and the University of Oregon, where he was on the baseball team. He was called to active duty in September, 1939, and after a year at Vancouver barracks he was transferred to the Philippines. The letters to his sister begin when he is en route to the Philippines, and end just weeks before the Japanese attack. Most are fairly lengthy, 4 to 6 closely typed pages, and replete with detail. On May 28, 1941, he writes, “Work has been going on here as usual. I got a break this week. The regiment left last Sunday on maneuvers, but the baseball team was left behind and me also. To make it legal they put me in command of the band, so all I have to do is sign a few papers in the mornings and have the rest of the day off – except baseball practice in the afternoons…” All is not fun and games, however, and on August 9, 1941, “As usual, we have been busy here. The appointment of Douglas McArthur [sic] as the bug gun, and the proposed mobilization of the Philippine Army into US service has caused lots of changes here. The personnel of different staffs has undergone complete revision in most cases…” And on November 12, 1941, his final letter, “…Now for a little news of military matters. The good old 45th is going to be broken up and incorporated into the 57th Infantry, the other infantry here at McKinley. The Philippine Division here at McKinley is going to be brought up to war strength according to the tables of organization for a motorized stream- lined division in the States… Things are really mixed up at present and I will be glad when it is all straightened out which should be in about three weeks…” In about three weeks, of course, greater challenges would be at hand. Very good or better condition. (1000/1500)

The following lots comprise an important archive which came down through the family of William R. Day, Secretary of State and Supreme Court Justice. Included is material not only relating to the Day family, but also the McKinley family, since Luther Day, son of William R. Day, married Ida Barber, William McKinley’s niece, daughter of his wife’s sister, Mary Saxton Barber. The McKinley’s two daughters died in childhood or infancy, so many of the family letters, such as those from William McKinley to his wife, descended through his sister-in-law’s family. They are consigned for auction by William McKinley’s great-great-niece.

85. (McKinley-Day Archive) (Day, William R.). Large archive of material relating to Secretary of State and Supreme Court Justice William R. Day, including letters to him, carbons of letters from him, speeches and essays by him, booklets belonging to him, and more. Several hundred items, various sizes, many multiple pages.

86. (McKinley-Day Archive) Dueber, John G. Typed Letter Signed by John G. Dueber, President of the Dueber Watch Case Mfg. Co., to William R. Day, regarding the price of silver. 7 pp. on rectos of 7 sheets of company letterhead featuring an engraved vignette of the factory. 27.5x20.5 cm. (11x8”). Canton, Ohio: Oct. 27th, 1896 Interesting letter responding to an inquiry about the price of silver from William R. Day, key adviser to William McKinley in the presidential campaign of 1896. This was the important political-economic issue of the day, as the populist, “free-silver” advocates championed by Democratic nominee William Jennings Bryan wanted to use silver as well as gold to back U.S. currency, an inflationary policy they felt would stimulate the economy and lift it out of the severe depression known as the Panic of 1893. The Republicans wanted to rely on more costly and stable gold, and Day had written to Dueber, whose watch case manufacturing company used both gold and silver, inquiring about prices and fluctuations. Dueber replied that silver was less stable, being far more plentiful and subject to price manipulations. He writes in part, “Silver, as money, is a relic of the past ages - because only the least advanced Nations us it largely as money. With our great Railroad facilities, with telegraphic and telephone communications, etc., there is but little use for Silver in our business transactions.... The points I touch upon in this letter, are not generally known; and of course the Silver Mine Owners and Owners of smelting works, do not make them public...” There are occasional pencil marks in the margin used to highlight paragraphs. Very good or better condition. (300/500)

Page 30 87. (McKinley-Day Archive) Fleming, J.M. Autograph Letter Signed by J.M. Fleming of the Manila Tobacco Co. of Glasgow, to U.S. Consul S.M. Taylor, discussing the situation in the Philippines. 14 pp. including letter of transmittal. On four 4-page lettersheets of the Manila Tobacco Co., with headquarters in Glasgow, Scotland. Glasgow: Aug. 26, 1898 Tobacco merchant J.M. Fleming had spent many years in the Philippines, and offers his candid views of the situation there with regard to Japan, with a letter of transmittal indicating he could supply information on other aspects as well if desired. He writes in part, “…Since then [Japan] has been preparing for defense and expansion (as I take it) and when she is ready, one of the first things she is (I consider) likely to do is to take the Philippines, if they are in the hands of Spain – First, she needs scope for her surplus population and increasing trade. Secondly she has already her eye on them. Thirdly, in the event of America abandoning the islands, she could practically annex the islands under the name of a protectorate without any trouble, and possibly at the request of the inhabitants voiced by a ‘Republica Filipina’ in armed resistance against Spanish rule – She could step in on humane grounds far stronger than those on which American can base her Cuban intervention…” Fine condition.

88. (McKinley-Day Archve) Harding, Warren G. Typed Letter Signed by Warren G. Harding, to William R. Day, accepting the latter’s resignation as Umpire of the Mixed Claims Commission to Adjudicate War Claims against Germany. One page, on 4-page lettersheet of White House stationery. 22.5x17.5 cm. (9x7”) Washington: May 21, 1925 William R. Day, having retired from the U.S. Supreme Court on November 13, 1922, served briefly on the Mixed Claims Commission to Adjudicate War Claims against Germany before ill-health caused him to resign. Harding writes: “I am writing to make acknowledgement of your letter of My 21st, tendering me your resignation... I am sorry the Commission is not to have the benefit of your services, especially in view of the fact that your appointment was received with such unanimous approval. However, your long career as a public servant entitles you to give first consideration to the conservation of your health. I hope, with all my heart, that your entire freedom from official responsibilities will speed your restoration to vigorous health...” Day passed away a month and a half later, on July 9th, 1923. Fourth (blank) page stained; very good. (500/800)

JOHN HAY WRITES TO WILLIAM DAY ABOUT COMPETION FOR SPOILS AFTER SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR 89. (McKinley-Day Archive) Hay, John. Five letters and two transcribed telegrams from John Hay to William R. Day. Includes 2 autograph letters signed, 3 typed letters signed, and two handwritten transcripts of telegrams. Various sizes. Various places: 1898 The first two letters are autograph, written from London, where Hay served as U.S. Ambassa- dor, to Secretary of State William R. Day; the others are written from Washington, Hay having taken over as Secretary of State, to Day serving as head of the American Peace Commission in Paris negotiating the end of the Spanish American War. The most significant letters is the first, 4 pages on American Embassy letterhead, June 4, 1898: “I learn from excellent authority that the Emperor of Germany was on the point of sending a telegram of warm sympathy to the Queen of Spain at the beginning of the war; that his family was in favor of it, and that it required the utmost efforts of Hohenlohe & von Buelow to prevent it. There is still a strong feeling there against us, but the men at the head of the government will prevent any unfriendly action, on grounds not of friendship, but of common sense. They are very much occupied about the distribution of spoil which they imagine will take place after the war is over. Germany is very jealous lest France or England should get the Philippines… Germany is very restive under the Monroe Doctrine. They would like a foothold in South America – in Brazil or Argentina - & might suggest it, if we kept the Philippines. One of the unfortunate results of the action of the Senate in regard to Hawaii will be that when – sooner or later – we do annex the islands, Germany will want Samoa, or something else, as compensation. Hawaii has always been regarded in Europe as

Page 31 within our sphere of influence, as ultimately ours. The opposition in the Senate is teaching them now to think otherwise….” He goes on to speak of the benefits of capturing Puerto Rico, and leaving Cuba to the end, in the hope that Spain will leave voluntarily. The telegrams and one letter from Washington darkened, overall very good. (1000/1500)

90. (McKinley-Day Archive) Hearst, William Randolph. Typed Letter Signed by William Randolph Hearst, to General Fitzhugh Lee, U.S. Consul General in Havana, Cuba. 10 lines, on New York Journal letterhead. 26.7x21 cm. (10½x8¼”). New York: June 23d, 1897 Newspaper magnate William Randolph Hearst writes to the American Consul General in Cuba regarding his publication of a copy of Lee’s official report on the circumstances regarding the death in prison of Ricardo Ruiz de Ugarrio a Cuban-born, naturalized American citizen who was held incommunicado, denied a hearing or trial, and found dead in a filthy Guanabocoa jail cell by the Spanish authorities on 17 February 1897. The Journal’s reporting of the incident was one factor in the lead-up to the Spanish-American. Hearst writes “I beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter of June 16th, inquiring how the Journal managed to get a copy of your report on the Ruiz matter. I can very frankly say that I am as much in the dark as you are about this. If I knew I would gladly tell you...” Consul General Lee has written beneath this, in a large scrawl, “Quite a diplomatic response from the Proprietor N.Y. Journal! F.L.” Old folds, very good.

Page 32 little over four months in 1873, causing further depression. William was devoted to her and very protective, and they were rarely separated. When they were, he remained attentive, as indicated by the daily, sometimes twice daily letters he sent. On March 16th, “My precious wife: Back again safely and in my seat in the House, everything looking naturally except No. 2 at the Ebbitt which has a deserted look in your absence. I slept well last night and am feeling well today. I hope you are very well. Many inquiries were made about you by the ladies and general disap- pointment expressed that you did not return with me… Yours aff[ectionatel]y, Wm. McKinley Jr.” * March 17th, “My own precious darling, It is now nearly ten o’clock. I have dispatched over forty letters today & evening and have just returned from the meeting of the congressional committee. James held the fort while I was about. I got a Harper’s Weekly & he says he mailed it to you tonight… You can’t imagine how desolate it is here without you, if I was not actually overwhelmed with work, it would be intolerable…” * March 19th, “…A rainy, disagreeable morning.

Canton, Ohio: Dec. 13, 1896 William McKinley, elected to the presidency the previous month but not yet sworn in, writes to his wife Ida Saxton McKinley, who is apparently visiting family. He expresses his usual concern for her health and well-being, she being of fragile constitution and prone to epileptic seizures. “My Darling Wife – I enjoyed our morning talk over the ‘Phone.’ Your voice was clear and distinct and your cheerful words were to me an inspiration. I spent the day as follows: attended church, Capt. Hunter & Judge Baldwin accompanying me, had a good sermon, then went to Mother’s to dinner – had a good dinner… The fur man came last night and had many pretty things. He will come again upon your return… You have been most wise to decline all invitations. Rest is what you want. You will be tired enough with your dress making… Your devoted Husband, W. McKinley.” Fine or nearly so. (1000/1500)

Washington, D.C.: Nov. 30-Dec. 3, 1900 Letters from the President of the United States to his wife, visiting New York. Ida Saxton McKinley (1843-1901) was of fragile health, and suffered from epilepsy. She had lost two daughters, Katherine at age 3½ in 1875, and Ida at a little over four months in 1873, causing further depression. William was devoted to her and very protective, and they were rarely separated. When they were, he remained attentive, as indicated by the daily, sometimes twice daily letters he sent. On November 30, 1900, the President writes: “My darling wife, I have this moment received a telegraph from Mr. Hawk announcing your safe arrival in New York. I wired you during the afternoon a message which I hoped you would receive upon your arrival at the hotel. I took a drive this afternoon in company with Emil Calkin(?), doing the driving myself… I shall miss you greatly but you will not be long gone and I do hope you will have a good time and get all your errands done to your satisfaction…” * Dec. 1: “…This is the first day of December and a beautiful day it is. I enjoyed my talk with you this morning… I hope you will get on well and find everything to your liking…” * Later the same day: “My darling wife: I have had a busy day and will in a few minutes take a drive with Secy Long, I am feeling very well and have practically finished my message for which I am thankful… Had a letter from Dr. Rixey this morning telling me how well you stood trip, &c…” * Dec. 2: “ I have just returned from church & heard a fine sermon and the congregation was very large… I am going out for a ride with Mr. Wilson Secy of Agriculture at 3 pm today – he will be a poor substitute for you… I have asked the Secy of war & Chm of Military Affairs of the House to dine with me this evening to talk over some matters…” Dec. 3: “I am waiting for the joint committees of the two Houses to wait upon me, I then hope to send my message in at once… It will be so nice to have you home again. Mrs. Montgomery tells me the arrangements are all made & that you will reach here tomorrow evening a little after five o’clock…” The references to driving are quite interesting – McKinley was the first president to ride in an automobile, but these letters seem to be perhaps the only indication that he actually drove himself. Very good or a bit better. (10000/15000)

Six are on letterhead of the U.S. House of Representatives, one on stationery of Union Depot Hotel, Alliance, Ohio. Various places: Dec. 7, 1882 to March 26, 1884 Very interesting and significant correspondence relating to the election of 1882, when William McKinley lost his seat in the House of Representatives due to gerrymandering (redistricting) by the Democrats. McKinley hired William R. Day, a lawyer and longtime associate, to represent him in contesting the results. McKinley went so far as to assume his seat, which he was able to maintain for the remainder of the session. He was to regain his seat in the election of 1884. On December 7th, 1882, McKinley writes: “My dear Day: I received your telegram yesterday and thank you for it. I write now to say that I am greatly pleased with the way you presented the case as I find you reported in the Columbus… papers. Enclosed please find my check for fifty dollars on account.” *Jan. 20, 1883: “…I send you today the Digest and Manual of the House of Representatives – it contains the points(?) in election cases of interest to us now. I have been notified of the contest and will make answer in a few days… I shall want you to look after my testimony &c. in Stark & Carroll Cos…” * Feb. 25, 1883: “…I am especially anxious that you shall give personal attention to my case, and knowing your other engagements want you should have any help that you may wish… Your suggestion about a thorough examination of the poll in Carroll and Stark counties meets with my approval and I shall rely on you to organize that work…” * March 14, 1883: “…You should talk fully with Dr. Welker before he goes on the stand. He was the Central Committeeman of this township. Things look well through the District. Keep the ball in motion…” * Jan. 17, 1884: “…I beg to enclose my check for two hundred dollars, to apply on account. I regret that it is not convenient for me to send you the balance just now – hope this will ‘bridge you over.’ ‘The claimant’ is still here and I doubt not will stay. We have not yet sent the testimony to the printer, although we are looking it over now…” * Feb. 24, 1884: “…Shellabarger and Wilson think that I will weaken my case by pressing the ‘use of money’ at Liverpool and claiming that the vote ought to be set aside on that account. They do not think the testimony is sufficient to justify the throwing out of the vote…” * March 26, 1884: *…I am getting numerous letters from friends who want to see your brief published in one of the papers of the district… I have no news of a definite character concerning my case…” Some chipping, a few splits along folds; good to very good.

Page 38 IMPORTANT ARCHIVE OF LETTERS AND DOCUMENTS ON THE LEAD-UP TO THE SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR 101. (McKinley-Day Archive) Spanish-American War. Archive of approximately 70 letters, documents, reports, telegrams, etc., pertaining to the lead-up to the Spanish-American War and its execution. Handwritten, typed and carbon documents and letters, many addressed to William R. Day (Assistant Secretary of State May 3, 1897-April 27, 1898, Secretary of State April 28, 1898-September 16, 1898), some produced by him. One or more pages each. Various places: c.1897-1898 Important archive of documents from William Day’s brief tenure as Assistant Secretary of State (in which he assumed most of the duties of the aged and ineffective Secretary John Sherman) and then Secretary of State, a period that saw the United States’ growing involvement in the ongoing rebellion in Cuba, culminating in the mysterious explosion that sank the battleship Maine and sent America to war with Spain. The archive has been in the possession of the Day family and descendants to this time. It presents prime source material revealing the march to war that was spurred on by the “yellow journalism” of William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer. Among the highlights of the collection: Carbon typescript report to President McKinley of the situation in Cuba, June 22, 1897, 22 pages, unsigned, but containing “observations while in Cuba on the special mission which you did me the great honor to trust to my care.” Section headings include “Cause of the War”; “Social Conditions”; “Military Situation”; “Atrocities”; and “Political Possibilities.” * Typed letter signed by the U.S. Ambassador in Spain, Stewart Woodford, to President William McKinley, Jan. 28th, 1898: “…I have made the necessary preliminary arrangements for the negotiation of a commercial treaty between Spain, Cuba and the United States. I regard the successful and early consummation of this treaty as very important. It seems to me vital. Unless some accident shall occur, such a treaty should obtain for us the practical control of the Cuban markets… We have secured everything except the actual termination of hostilities in Cuba…” * Type- script “Insurgent Civil Administra- tion,” 11 pages, regarding the insurrection in the Philippines both before and after the U.S. occupation, “… The problem of how to deal with Aguinaldo’s Lot 101 Government and troops will neces- sarily be accompanied with embarrassment and difficulty, and will require much tact and shill in its solution. The United States Government through its Naval Commander has to some extent made use of them for a distinct military purpose, viz: to harass and annoy the Spanish troops, to wear them out in the trenches, to blockade Manila on the land side, and to do as much damage as possible to the Spanish Government prior to the arrival of our troops…” Undated, but 1898. * “Instructions to Blockading Vessels and Cruisers” – Carbon typescript, 8, [3] pp., largely

Page 39 concerned with the legality and procedures. Undated, c.1898. * A typed translation of the so- called “De Lôme Letter” written by Enrique Dupuy de Lôme, the Spanish Minister of Cuba, to politician Don Jose Canalegas, which was stolen despite being under diplomatic protection. In it he referred to the President William McKinley as “weak and catering to the rabble and, besides, a low politician who desires to leave a door open to himself and to stand well with the jingos of his party.” On February 9, 1898, the letter was published in William Randolph Hearst’s New York Journal, rousing public animosity to Spain. The letter has a number of ms. corrections to the translation. Early 1898. * “Extracts Referring to the Maine from the Personal Letters of Judge Day to General [Fitzhugh] Lee” – typescript, 9 pp. Early 1898. And much much more. Varying amounts of wear, some documents and letters incomplete, occasional dampstaining but still quite legible, an important archive worthy of study. (5000/8000)

102. (McKinley-Day Archive) Spanish-American War. Archive of approximately 70 letters, telegrams, etc., most written to William R. Day in Paris while we was head of the United States Peace Commission formed to negotiate an end to the Spanish-American War with Spain. Typed and handwritten letters, telegrams, etc. Various sizes. Various places: 1898 Interesting gathering of correspondence, some official or semi-official from U.S. Consular agents, ambassadors, etc., others from private individuals offering advice on the direction the peace negotiations should take, solicitations from hotels offering him a place to stay during negotiations, congratulations on their successful conclusion, even a bill from his London tailor. After the Spanish-American War was declared, Day had argued that the Spanish colonies, other than Cuba, should be returned to Spain, contrary to McKinley’s decision that the United States should take over from Spain control of the Philippines, Puerto Rico, and Guam. Day, however, negotiated peace with Spain on McKinley’s harsher terms. His final diplomatic effort was to lead the United States Peace Commission into Paris, France and sign the Treaty of Paris ending the war. Among the varied letters in the archive is one in French, with typed translation, “We, Haytien negro students in Paris, are all the prouder of the glorious victory the United States have just gained, since our race, represented by the blacks of the Southern States have contributed thereto in so large a measure…” going on to warn of the jealousy of the European powers and dangers therefrom. Sept. 22, 1898. * September 27th, 1898, Henry White, U.S. Ambassador in London, writes that he had just met with a representative of Smith, Bell & Co. of Manila “and other places in the Philippines,” which ran the largest export business in the Islands, and “He is very anxious that we should take the whole group for reasons set forth in his letter, or if that be impossible, that we should leave them all in the hands of Spain…” * Nov. 18, 1898, from H.R. Chamberlain at the Normandy Hotel in Paris, “Just a word to convey to you that the Spaniards have jumped to the conclusion that the Americans will seek to compromise by offering a very large price for one of the Carolines. That is their interpretation of the report that you have received instructions to buy one of those islands. It is very apparent also from their words and manners that they would be only too glad to assent to such an arrangement…” * On Nov. 21, 1898, as negotiations were drawing to a close, the U.S. Consul in Lyons writes of “a dealer who furnishes me with table wine. He tells me that his wine will stand a voyage to the United States and improve. It costs me 7 cents per quart at the dealers…” * Nov. 30, 1898, from industrialist Zephaniah Swift Spalding, a 16-page missive on letterhead of the Grand Hotel Royal, San Remo, “…I refer, of course, to the new policy about to be adopted by the United States in the management and control of inferior and foreign races. My association with these races, as laborers, and my extensive travels among different nationalities have given me an experience quite uncommon among my countrymen…” and goes on to offer aid and advice. * Added to the lot are 15 letters from autograph seekers, wanting to compile autographs of all the Peace Commissioners. One young girl, just ten years old, even asked for one of the pens used to sign the peace agreement. Varying amounts of wear, general very good. (1000/1500)

Day to accept the post of Solicitor-General being offered him by President McKinley. 2½ pages, on letterhead of the U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. 28x21.5 cm. (11x8½”). Cincinnati, Ohio: April 22, 1897 The future President of the United States writes to Ohio lawyer and confidante of newly elected President William McKinley William Day, responding to rumors in newspapers that Day was being considered for the post of solicitor general, an office Taft himself had once held. “...Having served two years in the Solicitor-General’s office I have an earnest feeling that the President should not appoint a man unworthy of it to that place. I know you are worthy of it... If the office has been tendered to you, as I hope it has, I write to urge to to accept it... The salary is $7000 a year within $1000 of a cabinet position, where the social obligations are just what you choose to make them. A modest house and a small establishment are quite enough for the Solicitor-General...” Day was not to become Solicitor-General, but assumed the office of Assistant Secretary of State on May 3rd, 1897, and replaced the aging and ineffective John Sherman as Secretary the following years. There are three ink corrections by Taft, and what looks to be a later ink deletion of a sentence. Very good condition. (1000/1500)

Written to James Goodwin of Hartford. Goodwin was an insurance company executive who was married to J.P. Morgan’s aunt. Cincinnati, Ohio: July 24, 1852 “We are surprised, at Cincinnati, to learn from a distance that the city is sickly. I… am in the city every day, and I have not heard one of the citizens speak of its being unhealthy; on the contrary…I do not know that I have ever known it to be more healthy than it now is, at this season of the year….” Justice McLean had lived in “healthy” Cincinnati for nearly fifty years, since he began his legal career there at the time of the Louisiana Purchase. After representing Ohio in the US Congress during the War of 1812, he served in Washington as Postmaster General in the cabinets of James Monroe and John Quincy Adams. Andrew Jackson appointed him to the US Supreme Court in 1829 and he remained on the bench for more than. Five years after he wrote this letter, McLean was one of two dissenting Justices in the Dred Scott fugitive slave decision who maintained that free Negroes were citizens of the United States. In 1860, McLean sought the Republican nomination for President, but lost to Abraham Lincoln. A year later, he died – in Cincinnati – the week the Civil War began.

(10½x8½”), Pera [Contantinople], Turkey: March 29, 1855 Von Wildenbruch writes to British Ambassador Lord Stratford (Canning) de Redcliffe, thank-

Page 42 ing him for allowing Dr. Morris to inspect the English Hospital at Constantinople, where he felt great “admiration” for the care of the “brave sick and wounded soldiers” who were being treated there, though he had doubts about the “too great abundance” of patients. A year before, Britain and France, allied with Turkey, Germany and Austria, declared war on imperial Russia. After fighting began on the Crimean coast of the Black Sea, the allied troops suffered greatly during the winter of 1854-55 from lack of fuel, clothing and supplies. Hearing in London of the horrible conditions of the British wounded, in November 1854, 35 year-old Florence Nightingale took 38 British women volunteer nurses to staff an overcrowded British military hospital near Constantinople, hundreds of miles from the battlefields. The nurses - who were not welcomed by the male Army Doctors - found a shortage of medicine and food and such awful sanitary conditions that many of the evacuated wounded were dying of typhus, cholera and dysentery. Not until March 1855, after the inspection of a British Sanitary Commission, did improved Hospital sanitation and ventilation begin to reduce the high death rate. The (apparently) Ger- man doctor, who visited the Hospital that same month with credentials from Ambassador von Wildenbruch was perturbed by the overcrowding. But he could only praise the care given the patients, thanks - though this diplomatically-worded letter neglects to mention it - to Florence Nightingale, known poetically as “the Lady with the Lamp”. Some creasing and wear along one edge, very good. (150/250)

Metcalfe, a classmate of future Civil War Generals Pierre Beauregard (called “Beaury” in the letter) and Irvin McDowell, describes the Military Ball held two days before as “a great affair…all kinds of folk at it”, but lamented that the Cadets had been allowed only two summer cotillion parties a week. He had sour words about Commandant of Cadets John Fowle (“Old Jack…thinks he is Jesus Christ”) and Colonel Rene De Russy, the Academy Superintendent, (“has placed an infinite distance between his august and mighty self and those poor d-n contemptible things called Cadets”) and some junior instructors “of d-d rascality”, but praised one visiting professor (“possesses universal knowledge…converses very fluently and with much elegance and is enabled by an inexhaustible store of anecdote to enliven and amuse exceedingly”). A year later, Metcalfe graduated seventh in his class (Beauregard ranked second), fought Indians in Florida, but then resigned his commission and became a distinguished Doctor in New York City.

Beauregard, the future Confederate General, “a grave, reserved and withdrawn youth” in those years, who “excelled in sports, rode a horse beautifully, made high marks” and had “a tragic love affair” with the daughter of a high-ranking General. Other Cadets of Civil War note who might have attended the Ball were Irvin McDowell, of Beauregard’s Class of 1838; Henry Halleck and Edward Canby, Class of 1839; and William Tecumseh Sherman, Class of 1840.

But 25 years later, during the Spanish-American War, he saw action off Cuba as Executive Officer of a battle cruiser, and in 1904, appointed second Commandant of the US Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay, he directed large-scale construction of a million-gallon water reservoir, new wharves, dry docks, a Marine barracks, and a 10 foot high concrete wall, and established the Base’s first “wireless” radio station. Rogers later retired with the rank of Rear Admiral. Light wear at edges, 2 small holes on left margin; very good. (100/150)

Cousin Wm. Crisper has made me a good offer, he proposes to give me $10,000 cash capital to put into a store for supplying miners with outfits and let me have it for two or three years to do the best with I can and to give me half of all I can make. We now expect to take for the point of trade Umatilla Landing which is about 300 miles up from the mouth of the river and where the Umatilla empties into the Columbia…I expect to go and make arrangements, get a house to trade in…and then will purchase the stock of goods and take them with the family in March… we expect to put Mary in school at Salem for one year at the “Willamette University”, which is the best school in the State and by that time she can be competent of taking charge of a school herself….I do feel confident with that capital I can make me from two to three thousand Dollars a year… the Country up the Columbia is where the Miners all must pass, consequently the most money is there….” Umatilla, at the future Oregon-Washington border near Walla Walla, was then “bustling with gold and silver mining” towns which popped up and as quickly disappeared, “left to ruin as the mining dwindled.” Cooper later settled farther west at Hood River, where he made a name for himself as an expert in packing apples for shipment to the East.

Sunset was then in its eight year of publication, founded as a promotional tourism vehicle for the politically-powerful Southern Pacific Railroad Company under the editorial direction of Aiken, a veteran San Francisco newspaperman who hobnobbed with the writers, actors and rich men of the elite Bohemian Grove.

Page 52 GERMAN-JEWISH FAMILY ESCAPES NAZI GERMANY 142. (Schnurmann Family Archive) Large archive of letters, documents, photographs, and other material relating to the life and family of Alfred Schnurmann, a German Jew who managed to emigrate from Germany in 1940, with much correspondence from family members in Palestine and the new state of Israel as well. Remarkable and highly important archive covering over a century in an era that saw two world wars, the rise of Nazism in Germany, the persecution and eventual genocide of the Jews, the founding of the Jewish state of Israel, and the rise of post-war America into a prosperous superpower. Included in the archive are over 500 letters between family members, friends, acquaintances, and other refugees from Germany, about 150 of them from Palestine and Israel; over 200 documents relating to Alfred Schnurmann and his daughter Marion, including his attempts to emigrate from Germany in the late 1930s; approximately 1000 photographs, 400 or more from Germany before and during World War II; plus various other items, all housed in a wooden trunk measuring 63x92x48 cm. (24¾x36¼x19”). The crucial events of the 20th century are seen through the prism of a Jewish family that fled Nazi Germany, finding refuge in the United States and the new state of Israel. Alfred Ernst Schnurmann was born in 1905 in Mulhouse (Mülhausen), Alsace-Lorraine (then a part of the German Empire) to a prosperous Jewish wool merchant, Leopold Schnurmann, and his wife Julie Schnurmann, nee Lang. He attended school in Mulhouse, and university at Konstanz, and worked as a salesman of textiles and clothing, settling in Berlin. He married Hetta Hertel in 1930, and in 1932 they had a daughter, Marion. Hetta and Alfred divorced in 1936 (she was a gentile, and it seems the stigma of a mixed marriage was too great), and Alfred got custody of the child. Sometime in 1937, being unable to care properly for Marion while working full time, he placed her in an orphanage. She was diagnosed with tuberculosis, so she was transferred to the Wyk orphanage for Jewish girls (Heim des juedischen Frauenbundes, Wyk, Foehr) where there were “healing w aters” to aid in her cure. During this time Alfred made efforts to emigrate with Marion, applying for visas to France, Palestine, the United States, and other safe-sounding havens. He tried to prove French ancestry to aid in his quest. Finally, in June of 1940, he received a visa to the United States as part of the “French” quota, Marion was summoned from the orphanage, and they embarked upon the Heyo Maru, traveling to San Francisco via Japan. (It should be noted that shortly after Marion departed the orphanage, it was closed and the girls sent to concentration camps.) In 1939, prior to Alfred’s departure from Germany, his mother, Julie Schnurmann-Lang, and his sisters, Miriam and Alice, had successfully emigrated to Palestine, and their numerous, long, detailed letters are a highly significant part of the archive. Alfred settled in San Francisco, briefly working at the Richelieu Hotel before finding employment with Levi Strauss. In 1945, he got a job with the Southern Pacific Railroad, working for them until his retirement in 1983, at age 78. In 1950, he sent to Germany for his girlfriend Faye (Felicitas Maria Faber).

In 1945, he got a job with the Southern Pacific Railroad, working for them until his retirement in 1983, at age 78. In 1950, he sent to Germany for his girlfriend Faye (Felicitas Maria Faber), like his first wife a gentile, and they were married in April of that year. During World War II, Faye was a Nazi Luftwaffe Fuhrerinnen working with the weather service girls who reported conditions back for gun fire control computers. Her twin sister Maria was stationed in Southern France as a nurse for the Nazi Luftwaffe and her brother was an officer in the Nazi Kreigsmarine. The many photographs taken in wartime Germany that are in the collection were brought by her, and feature family members (it was a family of seven siblings), German officers, her sister Maria while serving in France, and more.

Two albums contain “Alfred’s girlfriends, Berlin/Germany 1926-1939,” with approximately 155 photographs of various women, many identified – one has a Star of David stitched onto her dress (evidently some photographs have been removed from the larger album). One folder contains numerous photographs of Alfred’s friends, family and childhood, a number taken in the 1950s in Israel. There are also several later albums recording trips to Israel, Germany, etc.

* Miscellaneous items, including: Montage of ration stamps pasted to cardboard, with admonition written on it in crayon: “Kampf dem Verberb, hier erst recht!!” (roughly translated as “fight the decay of our rights here”) – Marion seems to have created this at age 8 in 1940 (one of the ration stamps has

The letters and documents are primarily in German, through there are a number in English. Several of the letters in German have been translated, and a few excepts follow. It should be noted that the great majority remain untranslated, so much of the archive remains to be revealed. There are a few additional letters that have been translated, and we are happy to provide those translations to interested parties. On July 7, 1940, a Siegfried Rhor(?) writes to Alfred Schurmann, “We have had our visa in our passport since August 1939 but due to the Chile ban- of which you are very well aware of- we cannot leave. It looks like the visa we have worked so hard for will expire in mid-August. Our other possibilities are Columbia and Brazil, which have turned out to be unsuccessful. Unless we have acquaintances helping us finding a new last minute destination, we will definitely end up in the last batch. This makes us worry a lot. I remembered you and thought I would kindly ask for your help in finding a destination to immigrate to for my wife and me. After all, your work has allowed you to find places for people in the past…”

Lot 142

Page 56 * On December 31, 1940, Alfred writes to is friend Alice Gutmann in New York, describing his exodus from Germany: “The journey was very exhausting and she (Marion) coughed a lot while we were on the ship. The food was horrible and we were constantly hungry, but we survived it… Irma should hurry to come here otherwise she will miss her chance. Then, she will also have to travel through Japan and who knows when they will occupy Switzerland. I am just as scared of the US getting involved in this war as you are. I would have never thought that the US consulate in Zurich would cause any problems- I thought this was only the case in Germany. It is ridiculous that once you are past the waiting time, you continuously have to fight until they finally let you go….”

* December 1st, 1943, Alfred writes Gerda Barush in Columbus, Ohio: “On the one hand, I do not believe that Berlin has been damaged the way it is being described here. On the other hand, I believe that the Nazis will probably still endure for quite a while. Of course, we will try to help, but I am afraid it will be too late by then. The war in Europe will not end in 1944. People think that just setting up a ‘Second Front’ will cause the Nazis to surrender. I think the opposite will happen and it will turn into a long static warfare. Furthermore, there is nothing to expect from Hitler. He should be more afraid of his own people and all the suppressed peoples around him while he is taking out all his anger on the Jews alone. There would be hope if the Jews actually united with other prisoners of war or they were located anywhere other than Berlin. Just any place where they could work on farms would work. Their chances would be much higher in any small town or village compared to the cities...”

* November 18, 1945, Anna Henle writes to Alfred from Cincinnati: “…After they had to go through unspeakable suffering and nobody thought they would ever see them again, the Dutch - Hugo, Otto (Walter) and his wife, children and his in-laws, were able to escape from the Nazis. Otto was freed from the concentration camp Westerbork by the Canadians. They had been separated from their children Margrit (now 10 years old) and Frits (age 7) for almost three years. Good people took care of their children but they, too, had to escape several times- just like Otto and his wife and the Spanjaards. Elizabeth is well on the farm, Bertel just sent me a long letter. She seemed to have been living in peace until March of this year when the Nazis deported all Jewish wives of Christian men to ‘Theresienstadt’ [concentration camp]. Thanks to Theo’s effort, however, she didn’t have to suffer from the same fate….”

* February 7, 1948, Alfred’s sister writes from Jerusalem: “As you might have heard, we have decided to no longer let mom stay in Jerusalem due to how the circumstances have developed. What once used to be a good idea- giving her the freedom of having her own apartment- has turned into a very unpleasing matter in times of war when there are shootings and bombings. We could not rest because we never knew if she made it home safe after she e.g. had coffee with us in the afternoon. If you can, you should avoid being outside anywhere in Jerusalem at night because there will be enough bullets ‘who have lost their way’. In conclusion, we realized it was no longer tolerable to just be caged in your home every night between 6-7pm- especially when it is accompanied by a concert of fast shootings going on outside…”

* And on March 1st, 1948: “Now that war has actually broken out here and you never know whose house will be destroyed and who has to look for new shelter next, you should only have or purchase the most relevant … Not only do they aim at pedestrians and shoot into houses- their bombs are so destructive in Jewish quarters that 400 people are without shelter at once, 50 people are dead and 100 have been injured- all of them innocent. Every day there are new victims, every day we have to acquire new courage. We try as much as we can but sometimes we just give up hope. We only know one thing: We have to endure all this if we want to live on. Thank God it is still relatively quiet in the countryside although there have been several failed attacks- unfortunately not always without any victims…”

* December 2, [1948], from Berlin under blockade: “Of course the blockade is everything else but nice. You cannot imagine what is going on here. What irritates me the most is that after all that we had to go through with Hitler, we now have to live through this mess again. Imagine you only have two hours of light twice a day-once during the day and once during the night. It is completely turned

Page 57 off for the rest of the time. This means that you have to use a lot of candle light- which by the way is very expensive since you have to buy them on the black market. While this might be a nice lighting for couples in love, it actually keeps the rest of us from working… Our life here is far from boring and it only consists of work. All this energy consumption abroad- if we only knew what for. We will continuously try to eventually escape from this chaos. But we are lacking an urgent reason to leave… Besides I don’t like the Germans- they used to be Nazis and now nobody is at fault…”

* August 24, 1957, from a friend in Köln, Germany: “You know that I was never a Nazi. This is why they could not harm me in reference to dispossession according to order 124 and 126. My company, however, had been a thorn in the SED’s side. Just before the war began, I had all of our machinery converted over to fully automatic… Several machines had been taken out of my company- as well as the air conditioning and heating systems- and put into government owned businesses. However, they needed to justify this action. Thus they had been continuously searching until they finally found something. They ended up accusing me of sabotage according to the order of S.M.A.D. and sentenced me to 9 years of prison and enfranchised me for 5 years. All of which because in 1946 I gave a farmer 80 cwt. of cement and in return I received 8 cwt. of potatoes, 3 cwt. of barely for the cattle as well as 230 Reichsmark. Thus, I damaged the people and the government. I had to spend 5.5 years in prison and, as commonly known, was released on August 14, 1956 according to § 346 (meaning released on parole with 3 years of probation).”

* June 17, 1967, from Jerusalem: “…The soldiers’ moral standard is admirable- there are no words to describe it. Not to mention their physical effort. We – ‘the civilians’- who spent the days of war being more or less safe in our corridors, are always amazed by the stories we get to hear from the combatants. Just like Uri after the cease-fire in Jericho, when he offered his bottle to poor Arabic children who asked for some water. Another fellow soldier handed their dad his bottle and, in return, the father stabbed him in the back with his knife. So the soldier rewarded him rightfully with some bullets. (Unfortunately, we heard that incidents like this happen all too often. We also know that our soldiers are prepared for this now and know how to deal with these situations.) …”

FEAR OF BRITISH SOCIAL REVOLUTION 161. Ticknor, George. Two autograph letters, signed from famed American scholar George Ticknor, fearing British social revolution and American “hatreds”. Two ALs. Each 4 pp. With over 1000 words in total. Boston: October 15, 1867 and Jan. 20, 1868 To General [Charles Robert] Fox in England, from this prominent Bostonian, Harvard professor, bibliophile, historian, biographer, and the leading American scholar of Hispanic culture and literature. Visiting England after the War of 1812, and again in the 1830s, Ticknor had become friends with Fox, a rich soldier and politician, illegitimate son of an English Lord and husband of an illegitimate daughter of the late King, with a passion for collecting ancient Greek coins. In these letters, Ticknor comments eloquently on events of the 1860s in England and the United States. Unlike Fox, he was not at all “stunned” by the democratic political reforms just passed by Parliament. “In 1835, when I was in England… I made record of the remarkable change during that interval in the growing tendency towards democracy…The great danger is, that you will take too violent leaps… and that the populace of your great cities will, on some disastrous occasion, take the matter into their own hands. You are not made for a democracy. The very unequal distribution of property in England seems to make a democracy impossible except after a fierce revolution., which would unsettle the whole fabric of your state. And what a fall would that be! The ends of the earth would feel it and my own country would be among the first…to suffer by the concussion. God have mercy upon you, and prevent the catastrophe for the sake of whatever is most to be valued in the civilization of the world…” As for the social unrest, Ticknor had no sympathy for either English or Irish “radicals”, who were “different enough” but “sure enough to meet at last.” He approved of the recent hanging of Irish terrorists: “I call them simply murderers. If you cannot maintain such laws as sent them to the gallows, you can maintain none.” He took more seriously revolutionary agitation at the “bottom of society” in British industrial cities, far worse than during the French Revolution, when “the masses were not nearly so preponderant or so little connected with those above them – and radicalism was not so knowing or so determined as it is now. God give you a good delivery. I love my own country a great deal better than I do yours, but I want to have you maintain your grand position in the world….” As for post-war America, “I foresee nothing – not even the harmony without which we cannot be a country. We have put down the rebellion; and I never doubted that we should do it and that it was our duty to do it…we are making history fast enough to be the subject of as many medals as your old Greek ever struck. What sort of history we are making…I will not undertake to conjecture.… the hatreds of the North and the South increase every month. What is to be the final result of a civil war, which has been more costly in blood that was worth saving and treasure that could ill be spared in a young and thriving country, those people that live a hundred years hence in England and America, will know better than you and I do or are likely to…” Light wear; very good.

He was at various times the music director of La Scala Milan, the Metropolitan Opera in New York, and the New York Philharmonic Orchestra.

164. (Twain, Mark) Leland, A. Lewis. Autograph Letter Signed from Mark Twain’s future San Francisco friend and landlord. 2 pp. + stampless address leaf. Addressed to his brother H[orace] S. Leland, Clinton Hotel, New York. Cleveland, Ohio: April 5, 1849 A chatty family letter, written with all the humorous misspellings of a 14 year-boy: “…Father has sold the other house and bought a Vessel… John has gon on a Scow cook at 14.00 per month, he is going on a Vessel as soon as he can…Father says that yow was the best boy to work that he had. Mother was a gontir send yow a pair of pants but I told her that you had a plenty…Clarica has got to be quite a large girl… when I show her Gram Degarotipe, she says gamma. She is the Pritest girl in Cleveland…Tell Uncle Charles to write as soon as he hears from Uncle Worren [sailing around the Horn to California] for we all feel very anxious to hear from him…. Horace if you are a good Boy and try and please Uncle Simon and treat every one with respect an do what yow have to do promply Uncle Simon will do well by yow, I now he did by me and he will by yow.…” Since Simeon Leland Sr. had opened a hotel in Vermont during the Revolutionary War, his large family had become the Hiltons of mid-19th century America. Lewis, a grandson, had already spent a year working for his Uncle Simeon Jr. at the elegant Clinton in New York City, where his younger brother was then employed. Louis later returned to New York to work at the new Metropolitan Hotel, opened “on a scale of grandeur” by the “daringly extravagant” Lelands, who came to own hotels all over New York state, in Chicago and San Francisco, Louis’ uncle Warren being the first of the clan to sail for California during the Gold Rush. Soon after 31 year-old Lewis himself traveled to San Francisco during the Civil War to manage the city’s grand Occidental Hotel, he met newly-arrived 28 year-old journalist Mark Twain, who spent his first months as a reporter in the city living at that “heaven on the half shell”, famous for its shellfish buffets. The convivial, garrulous (and generous) Leland became such an “intimate” friend of Twain’s that when the writer left California to marry a wealthy young woman in New York, he gave his future father-in-law Leland’s name as a reference. Twain also used one Leland anecdote of a steamship voyage to Hawaii for an 1866 newspaper article, and six years later, “Mr. L.” appears in Twain’s Roughing It. They probably met again later in life, when Lewis returned once again to New York, where his Sturtevant House became a haunt of ex-Forty Niners. Yellow spots, a small tear at opening of original wax seal; very good. (150/250)

Together 5 folio volumes, various sizes, all in original bindings. San Francisco: 1860s-1910s “W. P. Fuller & Co. traces its origins to the pioneer firm of Fuller and Heather which began in 1857 in Sacramento. The firm was established when William Parmer Fuller (1827-90) went into partnership with Seton Heather, a young Englishman. The firm advertised itself as being “Importers and Wholesale Dealers in Paints, Oils, French Window Glass, Brushes, Varnishes, Turpentine, Glue, Gold Leaf, Artists’ Materials, etc.”. In 1862 Fuller and Heather moved to San Francisco. Heather remained in Sacramento managing what would become a branch operation, while Fuller established the headquarters of the business in San Francisco. By 1867, Fuller and Heather was doing so well that it had outdistanced one of its major competitors in the area, Oliver & Co., and was close on the heels of a second, Cameron, Whittier & Co. That same year the three firms considered merging into a joint stock company as a result of competition from English manufacturers who were undercutting the California paint market by setting low rates. D. J. Oliver pulled out of the negotiations but William Franklin Whittier (1832-1919), the surviving member of Cameron, Whittier & Co. eventually decided to form a partnership with Fuller. Fuller bought out Heather’s interest in Fuller and Heather, and the new company, Whittier, Fuller & Co. was formed January 1, 1868. The merger made the company the largest dealing in paints, oils and glass on the Pacific coast. In the succeeding years the company expanded its operations. In 1873 it began manufacturing paints on the Pacific coast by helping to finance the Pacific Rubber Paint Company. Two years later, the company built a white lead and color works in the San Francisco bay region...They also became the largest importers of glass on the Pacific coast and maintained their mirror-making operations, which had been their first important manufacturing enterprise. In 1890 when Fuller died, Whittier offered to buy out Fuller’s interest in the business, but Mrs. Fuller refused. The resulting dissension between Whittier, and Mrs. Fuller and her eldest son William P., II (1861-1936) led to a decline in the business. After an unsuccessful attempt at a reconciliation between Whittier and Fuller, in which a new company was organized with Whittier, Fuller, and F. N. Woods under the same company name, The Fuller family bought out Whittier’s and Wood’s interest in 1894. Thus, the pioneer firm of Whittier, Fuller & Co. was dissolved and succeeded by W. P. Fuller & Co. The new firm concentrated on paints and glass, having sold its oil business in 1895 to the Standard Oil Co. with whom it had engaged in a bitter struggle for several years. William P., II became the president of the new firm, and on his retirement in 1905 due to ill health, was succeeded by I. F. Littlefield. Littlefield had been employed by Whittier, Fuller & Co. in 1880 as a bookkeeper and had become the first secretary of W. P. Fuller and Co. He remained president until his death in 1924...” - (From the finding aid for W. P. Fuller & Co. (San Francisco, Calif.) Records, 1896- 1921. California Historical Society, North Baker Library). Bindings well worn, some smoke damage to edges; overall very good. (1000/1500)

169. (Women’s History) Acer, K.A. Autograph Letter Signed from a Vassar graduate about women students and politics. 8 pp. With original mailing envelope. Shelby Center, NY: Nov. 17, 1884 To F.R. Crumbie, Nyack on the Hudson, N.Y.: “…It had always been a wonder to me what young ladies with no particular object in life could do with their time but the last three months has fully answered the query in my mind…My afternoons are spent in playing tennis and my evenings in playing chess and it is difficult to tell which I find the more enjoyable…It is very delightful to think election is over and some other subject than politics will be found interesting. We are very happy in this household over the result and quite sympathize with sister in her account of the manner in which the news was received at the college. It was supposed then for a number of days that Blaine was elected so the republicans arrayed in red, white and blue had a procession and an oyster supper, at which the democrats dressed in deep mourning waited upon them. Sister said she never could forget the events of election week at Vassar, and although the excitement was very great among the business men of Medina, yet it could not compare with the description Lottie sent me of the deep feeling among the girls….” While a bit bored with politics Sarah Antoinette Acer (1861-1913), nicknamed “Kittie”, who graduated from Vassar the year she wrote this letter, had other interests. She became one of the first women Professors of Mathematics in America, teaching for ten years at Wells College in Aurora, New York before she married a colleague, a Harvard-educated Professor of English. A bit of tearing at creases; very good. (200/300)

Page 65 170. (Women’s History) Cowles, M.F. Autograph Letter Signed from a Vassar student about women students “voting” Republican. 4 pp. Vassar College: Nov 2, 1868 To her mother: “…I see by the paper that they are having exciting times over politics in C-. Last Saturday, there was a vote taken in College among two hundred and eighteen scholars who were present and voted; one hundred and ninety were for Grant and twenty-eight for Seymour. Pretty good vote was it not? I expect we will have some more ice cream about Thursday or Friday when we get the news of Grant’s election and the Country presents presents her compliments and congratulations to Mr. Colfax. All the girls in one parlor are republicans but one and she does not have much to say. I have quite a good deal of fun with Kate [Huntington?], she would just suit you, she is so strong on the Womans rights question. I read a long sermon yesterday by Rev. Robert Colyer which he preached in Fanueil Hall, Boston last August. I wish you could see it, it was in the Anti-Slavery standard. He has come to the conclusion that women were not made to serve men but to be their companions, etc. “ Vassar student Almira Foote Cowles was born into a Cleveland family which took politics very seriously. Her uncle was part owner of the powerful Chicago Tribune, while her father, publisher of the Cleveland Leader, largest newspaper in Ohio, had been a “radical” opponent of slavery, a founding father of the Republican Party, a friend and close advisor to Republican Presidents Grant, Hayes and Garfield. Near fine. (200/300)

171. (Women’s History) Early Feminist musical manuscript, lampooning male chauvinism. Original hand-written musical manuscript. 1 page. 12x9½. Undated, but likely written in England or United States, c.1840. [Likely England or United States]: [c.1840] The lyrics read: The Lords of Creation / men we call / and they think they rule the whole / But they’re much mistaken after all / For they’re under Woman’s control / As ever since the world began / It had always been the way / For did not Adam, the very first man / The very first woman obey / obey, obey, obey, obey / The very first woman obey. A bit of surface wear at bottom (not at lyrics/musical notes), soem yellowing and a bit of wear at corners; very good. (200/300)

172. (Women’s History) Williamson, W. Autograph Letter Signed from Pennsylvania State Senator commenting on an a bill that was struck down regarding married women’s rights. 2 pp. + Stampless address leaf. Harrisburg: July 15, 1847 To Daniel Townsend, West Chester, Penn. After discussing various legislative matters, including the West Chester Rail Road and “the usual appropriation…for the Asylum for the insane poor”, Williamson adds, “The bill in favor of the rights of Married Women was negatived in the House on Saturday by a very decided vote, so there is an end to that question at present.” In the first half the 19th century, under American law, which followed British precedent, when a woman married, she surrendered to her husband any right to control property she had owned while single, nor did she have rights to acquire, transfer or sell property of her own during marriage. A married woman could not make contracts, control her own wages or profits, bring a lawsuit, or execute a will. One ironic exception was in Mississippi, where married women were given limited property rights – to own their own slaves. In 1848, the New York legislature, goaded by early feminists like Paulina Wright Davis (see Elizabeth Blackwell letter elsewhere in this sale) and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, passed the nation’s first comprehensive Married Women’s Property Act. This letter was written the year before, recording that Pennsylvania legislators failed to beat New York to the punch in rectifying this legal inequality. A bit yellowed at address leaf, and a small tear where opened at original wax seal; very good. (100/150)

Page 66 173. (World War I Aviator Archive) Archive relating to Claude Edward Duncan, an aviator with the U.S. Signal Corps in World War I, who rose to general and saw service in World War II and the Korean War. Includes an original diary kept by Duncan during his service in the First World War, printed and typed orders, certificates of promotions, newspaper clippings, photographs, identification cards, medals and insignia, and much more. Many items are neatly housed in sleeves in a three-ring binder, the medals are in a display case. Various places: 1917-1971 Significant historical archive relating to the military service of Claude Edward Duncan (1895- 1971), born in Colorado and raised in California, who enlisted as a Private First Class in the Aviation Section of the Signal Reserve in July, 1917. After two months training at the aviation ground school at Austin, Texas, he was transferred to the American Expeditionary Forces in Europe, where he continued his pilot training and on March 13, 1918, graduated from flying school at Foggia, Italy, rated a pilot and commissioned a First Lieutenant in the Air Reserve. He was then transferred to the Western Front, and flew observation missions over France. After the war ended, he served with the occupying forces in Germany, then back to the United States and on to Wheeler Field in Hawaii. He continued to rise through the ranks, and was promoted to full colonel in January of 1942, when he was assigned as a special observer with the Eighth Air Force in England. The following month he became chief of staff of the Eighth Bomber Com- mand. Following service in North Africa and back in the United States, from November 1943 to July 1944 he served successively as assistant executive and assistant chief of staff of the XX Bomber Command in India and China. He was instrumental in establishing air bases in China where U.S. bombers could land if their fuel was too low to return to their island bases after bombing Japan. There are dozens of orders in the archive, charting his transfers to various bases and different duties, plus a dozen or so certificates of promotion, signed by secretaries of war; photographs of him at air bases in England during WWII (including a group photograph signed in the verso by many officers of the USAAF and RAF); documentation of the reunion of flyers trained at Foggio, Italy, which took place in 1967; and much more. Perhaps the most interesting item is a little diary kept by Duncan beginning on Sept. 25, 1917. The diary leaves are loose in a sleeve titled “Memorandum Sheets.” A few sample entries: “Sept. 25, 1917. 5:00 PM. Left NY on Cunard Line, SS Saxonia”; “Oct. 18. Land in sight. Disembarked at Havre, Fr. 12:00 noon. Rest Camp”; “Oct. 17. Passed thru Rome about 10-11 am. Arrived Foggio 10:00 pm”; “Dec. 10. Raid alarm. Given charge of machine gun... Morehead sideslipped into nose dive. Not badly hurt so far as we know”; “Dec. 15. Weather cleared. Started above Amity low clouds below me began to get thick. Finally obscured ground entirely. Flew by compass. Saw rivers once but no chance to land. Clouds or mist evidently clear to ground. Struck west looking for hole and chance to land. None till at Asdorf. Very low clouds. Not possible to fly under. Stayed there French Lts. took charge of us.” It is not known if the diary is complete, and some of the leaves are out of order. Very good or better condition, a fascinating archive. (800/1200)

RARE ARCHIVAL ACCOUNTS OF MILITARY OPERATIONS IN FRANCE IN THE FALL OF 1944 174. (World War II) Ninth United States Army Operations…. Includes: Ninth United States Army Operations II: Five Nation Front, September-November, 1944. [2], 105 leaves. With 11 maps & 2 mounted original photographs. * Ninth United States Army Operations III: Combat in Holland. [2], 113 leaves. With 20 maps. * Ninth United States Army Operations IV: Offensive in November. [2], 191 leaves. With 18 maps. * Ninth United States Army Operations IV: Offensive in November. Part Two. [1], 192-357 leaves. With 17 maps. Together, 4 volumes. Stencil typescript on wood pulp mimeograph paper, the maps printed in purple ink. 27x20.5 cm. (10¾x8”), thin boards, the first two volumes disbound, the last two with cloth spines. No place: 1945 Rare archives compiled by the 4th Information & Historical Service, Henry J. Webb, rewrite editor, Richard D. Sturgis & Karl Hubeny, cartographers. An extremely detailed and invalu- able historical record of the actions of the Ninth United States Army in the fall of 1944, as the Allied forces drove Germany’s army back to its borders, based largely on interviews with soldiers and officers. Each action is described and analyzed, and the numerous maps show the deploy-

Page 67 ment and movement of the troops. The narrative winds down in mid-December, as the action known as the Battle of the Bulge was getting underway. Each of the pages is marked SECRET at both top and bottom, and certainly the documents reveal an unfiltered view of the action that would not have been suitable for public consumption during the war. These include shortages of supplies and ammunition; comparison of German to Allied tanks (German were superior), and much more. Plans and objectives of the various operations are detailed, the actions described by the participants, as the entry into Lindern, “Sergeant Humphrey: Two machine guns once opened up at us and we hit the ground. One machine gun opened up and a half-minute later one of our mortars let him have it. He never fired another shot. Then the second machine gun opened up and our mortar fired again and knocked him out.” Another action took place in Hol- land, “At the same time, the third platoon discovered about 150 men to their front. They were surrounded on three sides. Those who could withdrew. None of the right outpost of the third platoon escaped, but two men in the center outpost and all six of the left outpost of the platoon were successful in getting through the German ring. One of the men came through the enemy position in the bottom of a cart driven by a Dutch civilian. At this time the left flank platoon was attacked by twenty dismounted men. The platoon outposts placed considerable mortar and machine gun fire on the Germans advancing in a wave, ant the enemy was held back…” These documents, produced in very small numbers, are quite rare. OCLC/WorldCat lists only three sets, at the U.S. Army Center of Military History; the Dwight D. Eisenhower Library; and the U.S. Army Military History Institute. Those sets do include the first volume, Brest-Crozon September 1944, not present here. There are a few instances of manuscript ink corrections to the text. Also with the archive two letters to Capt. Norman B. Sigband, who was involved in the preparation of the reports - the first, from a Col. William Biddle, 20 Dec. 1945, refers to a proposed commendation for the reconnaissance section of the 113th Cavalry Group; the second, from a Lt. Gen. A.C. Gillem, 7 Jan. 1946, pertaining to the possibility that the Battle of the Bulge might not have occurred if different actions had been pursued by the allies, but they may well have been at a greater disadvantage. Also present is a military hat. Some leaves darkened, brittle and chipped, good to very good condition, a rare and historically significant archive. (5000/8000)
