Section I: Presidents of the United States

GEORGE WASHINGTON ADDRESSES HIS GENERAL 1. (1789) Washington, George. Signed and hand-addressed envelope panel, addressed to Major-General [Arthur] St. Clair with George Washington’s signature frank. On 8x15 cm. panel of paper, mounted and framed under plexiglass with portrait of Washington and engraved metal title-plaque. Overall 37x52 cm (14½x20”). No place: c.1777 A fine example of George Washington’s signature frank on an envelope panel, hand-addressed by him to one of the important generals in the Continental Army during the heart of the American Revolution. Washington was Commander-in-Chief of the Armies of the United States at the time this envelope was signed, writing to Major-General Arthur St. Clair. The envelope reads: “On Public Service. Major General St. Clair. On the route to Springfield. G. Washington.” It seems likely this was executed after St. Clair’s unsuccessful defense of Fort Ticonderoga, which fell to the superior forces of British General John Burgoyne in the summer of 1777. Following his defeat and retreat from the fort, St. Clair was removed from command, and subsequently cleared of any wrongdoing by a court martial in the fall of 1778. Though not given any further field commands during the Revolution, he did serve as aide-de-camp to Washington, and was present at Yorktown when Cornwallis surrendered. Neat repair to vertical split, very good condition, a clear signature, handsomely displayed. (15000/20000)

Page 1 SHIPS PAPERS SIGNED BY JEFFERSON AND MADISON 2. (1801) Jefferson, Thomas. Printed Ship’s Papers signed by Thomas Jefferson as President of the United States and James Madison as Secretary of State. Printed in four columns, in Spanish, French, English and Dutch, the English column filled out in ink, granting safe passage for William Coit, master of the chip Ann, from New York to Hull, with a cargo of “Iron, Serpentine, Rosin.. Cotton... Flour, Rice...” etc. Signed in ink by Thomas Jefferson as President, and James Madison as Secretary of State, with embossed paper seal. 44x55 cm. (17½x21½”), framed and matted under plexiglass, with portraits of Jefferson and Madison, and two metal title-plaques; overall 115x67 cm. (45½x26¼”). Washington. D.C.: c.1805 A fine example of ship’s papers from the beginning of the 19th century signed by two Presidents, Thomas Jefferson, third President of the United States (serving 1801-1809), and by his successor James Madison, then Secretary of State, who was to succeed him as president, serving from 1809 to 1817. Thomas Jefferson’s influence on the founding and early years of the United States cannot be overstated. As the prime author of the Declaration of Independence, his vision of the nation is felt to this day, as are his efforts at expanding the borders from sea to sea. James Madison, the fourth president, was only slightly less influential, hailed as the “Father of the Constitution” for being instrumental in the drafting of the United States Constitution and as the key champion and author of the United States Bill of Rights, and his keen understanding of affairs of state set up the fledgling U.S. as an equal to the great European powers of the day. A splendid document signed by two of the Founding Fathers of the United Sates, who served for 16 successive years as president, domination the early decades of 19th century American politics. Old folds, as is inevitable with such papers, a few small neat repairs at the folds with slight loss of text, very good or better, the signatures clear and bold. (10000/15000)

Page 2 SHIPS PAPERS SIGNED BY JAMES MONROE AND JOHN QUINCY ADAMS 3. (1817) Monroe, James and John Quincy Adams. Dual Signed Ships Papers which originally noted that this brig had no guns mounted when issued, then quickly had two guns, then four guns mounted to combat piracy in the West Indies. Partly Engraved Document Signed “James Monroe” as President and “John Quincy Adams” as Secretary of State, one page, 14½x10¼”. Completed in manuscript. On vellum, scalloped at top edge. Superb vignettes of a clipper ship and an American harbor. Countersigned “Jonathan Thompson / Collector” at lower right. Dark signatures of Monroe and Adams. Complete 2.5”-diameter paper seal affixed with red wax at lower left. [Washington, D.C.]: May 8, 1821 In full, “By the President of the United States of America Suffer the Brig Nancy of New York David Matthews master or commander of the burthen of one hundred Eighty six 50/95 tons or thereabouts mounted with no guns navigated with Nine men To Pass with her Company Passengers Goods and Merchandize without any hinderance seisure or molestation the said Brig appearing by good testimony to belong to one or more of the Citizens of the United States and to him or them only.” Because ships leaving U.S. ports needed ship identification papers before a voyage, documents such as this one were signed by the President and Secretary of State ahead of time and forwarded to the port. The required information and date would be filled in and then it would be signed by the Collector of the Port, in this case Jonathan Thompson (1773-1846). This document was signed in Washington, D.C., prior to May 8, 1821, but was issued in New York City on that date. Thompson had been appointed Collector of the Port of New York in November 1820. He held this office until 1829, when he was removed by President Lot 3 Andrew Jackson. Thompson was a Director (from 1813) and President of the Bank of the Manhattan Company (1840-1846), the first corporate bank in New York, and, through mergers and acquisitions, is known today as JPMorgan Chase. On verso appear two Autograph Endorsements Signed by Deputy Collector John Kearny: “District & Port of New York Novr 1st 1821. I Certify that the within Vessel mounts Two Guns. Jno Kearny DColl” and “District & Port of New York Decr 21st 1822. I Certify that the within named Brig is navigated with Eleven men & Mounts Four Guns. Jno Kearny DC.” An advertisement from the September 18, 1826, edition of the “Connecticut Courant” [photocopy present] notes that S. & W. Kellogg are selling “100 Hhds Jamaica Rum” and “1,000 Lb. Old Copper. Landing from Brig Nancy.” This would indicate that the “Brig Nancy” was doing business in the Caribbean. By 1821, there were six U.S. Navy ships assigned to antipiracy operations in the West Indies. In September 1821, three American merchant ships were captured near the entrance to Matanzas harbor in Cuba. Most of the members of the crews were killed and the ships were burned. On October 16, 1821, while cruising off Cape Antonio, Cuba, U.S.S. “Enterprise,” mounted with 12 guns, caught four pirate vessels robbing three American merchant ships. Spanish corsairs captured another merchant ship in November 1821 and marooned the crew on a deserted island. This continued into 1822. On December 6, 1822, President Monroe wrote Congress, in full, “Recent information of the multiplied outrages and depredations which have been committed on our seamen and commerce by the Pirates in the West Indies and Gulf of Mexico, exemplified by the death of a very meritorious officer, seems to call for some prompt and decisive measures on the part of the government. All the public vessels adapted to that service, which can be spared from other indispensable duties, are already employed in it; but, from the knowledge which has been acquired of the places from whence those out-laws issue, and to which they escape from danger, it appears that it will require a particular kind of force, capable of pursuing them in to the shallow waters to which they retire, effectually to suppress them. I submit to the consideration of Congress, the propriety of organizing such a force for that important object.” Lightly soiled, usual folds and vellum creases. Completely legible; near fine. (2000/3000)

Page 3 4. (1817) Monroe, James. President Monroe grants land in the Northwest Territory for military service of a Virginia officer in the Revolutionary War who sold his land bounty to speculators who then sold it to the surveyor. Partly Printed Document Signed “James Monroe” as President, one page, 15x12”. Completed in manuscript. Countersigned “Josiah Meigs” as Commissioner of the General Land Office. Certified and signed again by Meigs on verso. On vellum. Washington, D.C.: April 7, 1817 In part, “Know ye, That, in consideration of Military Service, performed by Thomas Ray, a Captain for three years, to the United States, in the Virginia Line on Continental Establishment, and in pursuance of an Act of the Congress of the United States passed on the 10th day of August, in the year 1790, intituled ‘An Act to enable the Officers and Soldiers of the Virginia Line on Continental Establishment, to obtain Titles to certain Lands lying north west of the river Ohio, between the Little Miami and Sciota;’ and Acts of the said Congress amendatory of the said Act, There is granted by the United States, unto John A. Fulton Assignee of John and Mathew Hobson, who were Assignees of the said Thomas Ray, a certain Tract of Land containing Fifty five acres situate between the Little Miami and Sciota rivers, north west of the river Ohio, as by survey…” Manuscript description of the tract location follows. The grantee has signed on verso “55 acres John A. Fulton / Joining Muhlenberg / Near Pritchard” next to “No 8934.” Fulton (1769–1845) did much of the original survey work in the Virginia Military District. He later served as Mayor of Chillicothe, Ohio (1828-1829, 1831-1832). Soiling and folds. Rolled. Text is light. Dark diagonal stain passes through “James,” part of “Monroe” is light, toned “Meigs,” right half of paper seal at lower left is missing; fair condition. (500/800)

The attractive military appointment features an engraving of an eagle carrying arrows and an olive branch in its talons at the top, and the bottom flags and various implements of war. Although military appointments signed by Lincoln are not that uncommon, Lot 10 appointments of medical officers are much scarcer.

Page 6 13. (1889) Harrison, Benjamin. Two 1-page manuscript legal documents - 1862-69 future President Benjamin Harrison as Civil War-Era lawyer. Two 1-page Manuscript Legal Documents Signed (as “Harrison & Fishback, Attys for Deft.” and “Porter, Harrison & Fishback, Attys for said Deft.”), Marion County, Indiana, docketing notes on verso dated Feb. 13, 1862 and Sept. 23, 1869; with a third Manuscript Legal Document of “Wallace & Harrison”, Sept. 24, 1859, apparently not in Harrison’s hand. Marion County, Indiana: 1862-1869 All three involve civil suits in which Harrison and his partners were counsel. In 1858, 25 year- old Benjamin Harrison opened his first law office in Indianapolis in partnership with William Wallace. When Wallace was elected County Clerk in 1860, Harrison found a new partner in William Fishback, who maintained their office while Harrison, having won his first elective office as Reporter of the Indiana Supreme Court, went off to fight in the Civil War. The second of these documents was written just four months before he went into uniform, serving as Colonel of the 70th Indiana Infantry in Kentucky, Tennessee and Georgia. Having compared the handwriting of the 1862 and 1869 documents to an autograph letter that Harrison sent President Lincoln in March 1861 (now held, and displayed online, by the Shapell Manuscript Foundation), we believe they were almost certainly both written and signed by Harrison. Legal papers written by Harrison as a young lawyer have become scarce since a small group of such documents were sold in the 1970s; only one has appeared at auction in the past thirty years. A bit of yellowing; else near fine. (300/500)

A PRESENTATION FROM THEODORE ROOSEVELT 14. (1901 - Roosevelt, Theodore) Palmer, J.W. Stonewall Jackson’s Way (Signed by T. Roosevelt). 7 pp. 6½x9”, string binding. One of 200 copies, this copy unnumbered. Cedar Rapids, Iowa: The Torch Press, 1915 Book Signed “To Aunt Jobinska from her devoted nephew Theodore Roosevelt Sept 13th 1916.” Additional inscription front flyleaf: “Hon. Theodore Roosevelt With regards of W.K. Bixby. St. Louis 12/16/15”. Theodore Roosevelt presents a limited edition printing of “Stonewall Jackson’s Way” to prominent Washingtonian Mattie Waller Johnson, a daughter of the South, humorously inscribing it to his “Aunt Jobiska from her devoted nephew,” a reference to a character in Edward Lear’s nonsensical poem, “The Pobble Who Has No Toes.” Covers soiled, dampstained, wear to extremities; the ink of TR’s inscription and signature has spread a bit; good. (2000/3000)

15. (1923) Coolidge, Mrs. Calvin. Two letters, signed from Grace Coolidge. Two letters from Grace Coolidge: * 3 pp. Autograph letter signed from Grace Coolidge, dated February 14, 1921.

Duane Upton, in which she informs the recipient she cannot fulfill his request for an autograph of President Coolidge. 1921 and 1941 Two letters from Mrs. Calvin Coolidge, including 1 posthumous to President Calvin Coolidge in which she declines to give the recipient an autograph of her late husband as she cannot “give up any of his personal letters to me.” Only light wear; very good or near fine. (100/150)

Page 7 A LITERARY RARITY FROM THE LIBRARY OF F.D.R. 16. (1933 - Roosevelt, Franklin D. - His copy) Cumberland, Richard. John De Lancaster, A Novel - Signed twice by Franklin Delano Roosevelt. 293 pp. 4½x7½”. Uncut. New York: E. Sargeant, 1809 Book signed: “Franklin D. Roosevelt. 1929. A rare old novel.” in pencil on front pastedown and “Franklin D. Roosevelt, Hyde Park. Very fine copy” in ink on facing free endpaper.British author Richard Cumberland (1732-1811) wrote plays, novels, poems, essays, odes, etc. Among his works were a collection of essays entitled “The Observer” (1785) and “The Jew” (1794). It is generally agreed that Cumberland was sympathetic to the plight of the Jew and the existence of anti-Semitism in England and that his goal in writing “The Jew” was Lot 16 to promote tolerance of Jews. Cumberland’s last novel, “John De Lancaster,” seemed to do just the opposite. In 1809, Sir Walter Scott reviewed “John de Lancaster,” in “Quarterly Review.” In part, “The descendants of Israel were heretofore favourites with Mr. Cumberland. The characters of Abraham Abrahams in the ‘Observer,’ of Sheva in the ‘Jew,’ even of Nicolas Pedrosa in the lively tale which bears his name, are honourable and able testimonies of his efforts to stem popular prejudice in favour of a people, degraded because they are oppressed, and ridiculed because they are degraded. Apparently, however, he hath repented him of his inclination towards the Jews, for not only do this same Mrs Ap Owen and her son exhibit characters the most base, malicious, and detestable, but their descent from the stock of Abraham is thrown at their heads by all who speak of them, and is obviously held out as one source at least of their enormities. Gray boards with spine worn away, lower portion missing, original label on spine of Volume 1 worn, front board detached; some pencil marks on signature leaves, pages rippled, some foxing; good. (1500/2500)

17. (1945 - Truman, Harry S.) Rigdon, Lieutenant William M. Log of the President’s Trip to the Berlin Conference (July 6, 1945 to August 7, 1945) - Signed by Harry S. Truman). 140 pp. Copiously illustrated with photographs. A two-page 15½x10¾” folding map of President Truman’s trip. 8½x10¾”, wrappers, spiral-bound.

Signed “Harry S Truman” on the cover, photo montage on the cover depicts seven individual photographs of the President. Truman has boldly signed, probably as President, beneath the photograph with Stalin. Truman’s first and only meeting with Stalin was at the Potsdam Conference. He also received word of the successful testing of the atomic bomb and authorized its use against Japan during this trip. A rare and important document, beautifully signed. Historic photographs in the “Log” include Truman at the destroyed Reichschancellery in Berlin, Truman with Generals Eisenhower and Patton, Truman and Churchill, Truman with Churchill and Stalin, Truman with Attlee and Stalin, and Truman and King George VI – 41 photographs in all. Lieutenant William M. Rigdon was Assistant Naval Aide in the White House from 1942-1953. A few bent corners, slight browning Lot 17 from age; near fine. (5000/8000)

Page 8 SIGNED BY HARRY TRUMAN AS A MISSOURI JUDGE 18. (1945) Truman, Harry S. Document signed as Presiding Judge of Jackson County [Missouri] Court. Typed carbon, with original rubberstamp and signature of Truman as Presiding Judge of the Jackson County, Missouri, Court. 23 lines, on 13¾x8½” sheet. Jackson County, MO: April 14, 1932 Interesting document relating to the acquisition of a right-of-way by Jackson Country, whereby the agrees, “in addition to cash heretofore paid,” to remove the house in question to a new place on the lot as designated by the owner, to “excavate a new basement similar to the one now in existence and build a concrete foundation similar to the one now in existence,” to dig a cesspool, move the garage (though the county may “at its option, locate the garage in the basement and not move the frame garage building”), connect the water and gas, etc. Fine (500/800)

19. (1953 & 1961) Eisehower, Dwight D. & John F. Kennedy. Two telegrams to Robert B. Stewart, Dean of the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University, one each from Dwight Eisenhower and John F. Kennedy, regarding the lecture of Dr. Paul Henri Spaak. Two Western Union telegrams, in strip format mounted on printed sheets, as delivered. Sheets are 25x20 cm. (10x8”). Augusta, GA & Washington, D.C.: 1960 Telegrams from outgoing president Dwight D. Eisenhower and president-elect John F. Kennedy sending “greetings to those attending the Clayton Lectures at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy and my personal regard to your guest-lecturer Dr. Paul-Henri Spaak. On the subject of ‘European Economic Integration and the Western Alliance’ , there is no greater authority than Dr. Spaak...” (Eisenhower). Kennedy echoes those sentiments, and adds “On this occasion let me reaffirm my strongest support of NATO and my belief that the Atlantic alliance constitutes one of the strongest bulwarks of the free world...” A revealing pair of telegrams paying tribute to the Belgian Socialist politician and statesman who served as Prime Minister of Belgium, the first President of the United Nations General Assembly, the first President of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, and the second Secretary General of NATO (1957–1961). Some darkening, a few chips, very good. (200/300)

Mamie writes to “Viv”: “Thanks for your note which reached me here- off to visit the Justin Darts at Pebble Beach today while Ike is at Grove - we are very tired and the farm will look good to us. Love to you and mae - Mamie E.” The address reads: Mrs. J. Holt McCracken, Portuguese Bend Club, Portuguese Bend, California. A tiny tear at right edge of post card; else fine. (100/150)

Kennedy. Harris was portrayed by Robert Blake in the 1963 film adaptation of the sinking of PT-109. Fine. (300/500)

TLs. 1 pp. On Congress letterhead. Washington, D.C.: July 1, 1968 Written 3 weeks after the assassination of Robert Kennedy and months after the killing of Martin Luther King, Jr. Ford, then leader of the Republicans in the House of Representatives, had also been a member of the Warren Commission which investigated the murder of President John Kennedy. Ford himself was to become President seven years later – and to be nearly killed in 2 attempts on his life: “….the gun control law…I did vote for when it was approved by the House of Representatives. While additional laws may be helpful, I do think that prompt and vigorous enforcement of the law is essential. But neither of these will get at the problem. There must be a change in the hearts and minds of people. I share your conviction that the influence of television and radio on the minds of the American people is a major factor in our attitudes toward violence and disorder. We cannot consistently show on the screen the settlement of disputes by the use of violence and not expect that to have a major impact on the minds of the children and young adults and older adults. I believe that the entertainment industry and the television networks have a responsibility here and that they must review their productions and determine if there is not a better way. If the industry does not do this voluntarily, the FCC and the Congress will be required to take the necessary action.” Fine. (600/900)

40. (African American) Blatchford, Samuel. Autograph Letter Signed - 1871 Negro Joke by Future Supreme Court Justice. 3pp. On personal stationery with coat of arms. To Colonel Jerome Bonaparte, [Baltimore]. New York: December 22, 1871 The future Supreme Court Justice writes: “…the box of terrapins arrived yesterday. The creatures were frozen and hard and stiff as the North Pole… I can truly say, I never ate finer… It was very kind of you to remember me in this way. Perhaps your better half ’s dislike of the dish is the result of her Northern prejudices, leading to the belief that Small Negroes have been disposed of to furnish forth the feast….” Blatchford, a millionaire New York lawyer, wrote this letter while a Federal judge to his close friend, the grandson of French Emperor Napoleon’s youngest brother whose family had lived in Maryland since the days of slavery. Colonel Bonaparte, a West Point graduate, had resigned his US Army commission to serve in the French Army under his cousin, Emperor Napoleon III, but had recently returned to America to marry Caroline Appleton Newbold, a widow who was the grand-daughter of Daniel Webster. Judge Blatchford had attended their wedding four months before. Reading between the joking lines of this letter, the bride, a Bostonian, was probably more sympathetic to the plight of recently-emancipated slaves than her aristocratic husband. Judge Blatchford’s jest about “small Negroes” would seem mild enough, given the blatant racism of the times, but eleven years later, appointed a Justice of the US Supreme Court by President Arthur, Blatchford voted with the court majority to invalidate the federal Civil Rights Act, a ruling which “virtually ended Federal attempts to protect the Negro against discrimination by private individuals” and set the stage for the Court’s “separate but equal” doctrine that legalized segregation. A bit of yellowing and light edge wear; very good. (150/250)

With a few ink corrections in Garrison’s hand. Boston: January 4, 1913 To Rolfe Cobleigh, “The Congregationalist”, Boston, thanking the religious paper editor “for your ringing editorial on the negro and the nation. It is a splendid keynote for the beginning of this anniversary year [50th anniversary of Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation]…I assume that you see Dr. DuBois’s magazine, The Crisis every month…It is far and away the best periodical which the colored people have yet published and its success has been gratifying.” The youngest son of the late William Lloyd Garrison, leading “radical” anti-slavery crusader before the Civil War was a strong supporter of the NAACP, formed three years earlier, when the first issue of the Association’s monthly journal, The Crisis, appeared, edited by distinguished Black scholar W.E.B. DuBois. A fascinating link between the ante-bellum anti-slavery crusade and the Black civil rights movement of the early 20th century. A touch of wear from handling; very good. (150/250)

Includes: Taylor, C.H.J. Deed of Trust Document Signed as District of Columbia Recorder of Deeds. Washington, D.C., July 20, 1896. 3pp., signed by Taylor on docketing panel on verso. * J.W. Lyons. Check Signed. Riggs National Bank, Washington, D.C., July 30, 1907. Together 2 items. Washington D.C.: 1896-1907 Autographs of two more of the 19th century “Black Elite” - politically-prominent African- Americans who, after Frederick Douglass had paved the way, received presidential appointments to federal office. Taylor (1857-1898), a publisher-editor of Black newspapers in Kansas, and later an Atlanta lawyer, was unusual among Black politicians in being loyal to the Democratic Party. He was briefly Grover Cleveland’s envoy to Liberia, then became District of Columbia Recorder of Deeds during Cleveland’s second term, succeeding Douglass, James Monroe Trotter and Blanche K. Bruce in that position. In 1904, after Theodore Roosevelt “shockingly” invited Booker T. Washington to dine at the White House, a racist Congressman charged that this was not a Negro “first” as Cleveland had once had Taylor as a White House lunch guest (which the ex-President hotly denied). Another Georgia lawyer, Judson Whitlocke Lyons (1860- 1924), served as Register of the US Treasury under Presidents McKinley and Roosevelt, making him the second African-American, after Blanche Bruce, whose signature appeared on US currency notes. A touch of wear or yellowing; near fine. (80/120)

Page 14 44. (African American) Trotter, James M[onroe], Recorder. 1887 Deed document, signed by James Monroe Trotter - a patriarch of the Boston “Black Elite”. Document signed as Recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia. 3 pp. printed and hand-written deed, signed by Trotter on docketing panel on verso. Washington, D.C.: May 11, 1887 Frederick Douglass was the first of six notable African-Americans who successively held the minor - though lucrative - presidential patronage appointment of D.C. Recorder of Deeds. When Douglass left that post in 1886, he was succeeded by Trotter (1842-1892), a man of many parts who has been called the “patriarch of an elite Boston family…at the center of a group of black upper-class Bostonians.” Born a slave in Mississippi, Trotter escaped to Ohio via the Underground Railroad, became a teacher in Cincinnati, and during the Civil War was the first Black man appointed to officer’s rank in the US Army as Lieutenant of a “Colored” Regiment. Settled in Boston and married to a descendant of Elizabeth Hemings, Thomas Jefferson’s slave and paramour, he later wrote a classic history of American music which highlighted “remarkable musicians of the Colored Race”. Trotter’s son William would became a Harvard contemporary of W.E.B. DuBois, whom he joined in the Niagara Movement that led to creation of the NAACP. A few tiny closed tears at center crease; very good. (150/250)

Wayne Morse told me he will mark up all education bills in about 10 days. Mike.” This is likely Senator Mike Mansfield. Small stain to the note, else all very good to fine. (400/600)

Page 15 QUAKER PACIFISM DURING THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION 47. (American Revolution, Quakers) Langstroth, Huson. Rare 1787 Manuscript defending Quaker Pacifism during the Revolutionary War. Autograph Manuscript (with a possibly secretarial signature). A Watch-Word In love to Friends in This Land. 4 pp. 14x8”. Philadelphia: [Nov] 9th, 1787 Scarce manuscript copy of a rare broadside of which so few were printed that copies like this had to be written by hand. The American Art Association auctioned one of the printed versions in 1917 with the notation that it was “very scarce…few copies issued and apparently intended for private circulation among ‘Friends’ as evident by the writing on present copy”, which listed the names of 13 men to whom the “Watch-Word” was to be forwarded (presumably in manuscript) “without unnecessary delay”. The author, an Irish immigrant, came to America as an uneducated youth; while apprenticed to a Philadelphia paper-maker, “ his manners were raw and uncouth, and his language vulgar and profane” because of “exposure to the contaminating influence of vicious companions”. About the time that the Revolutionary War ended, he underwent a religious conversion and became a Quaker Minister in Darby, south of Philadelphia. There, in 1789 – while President Washington was being inaugurated, the first Congress organized and the Constitution ratified – Langstroth wrote and published the “Watch-word”, which, according to an 1836 Quaker reprint, “breathes a spirit of pure love, and manifests his heart-felt concern for the safety and preservation of Friends…” While apparently intended to “recall the ‘deep anxiety and distress’” of Quaker Pacifists during the Revolutionary War, Langstroth’s prose is subtle, conveying clear meaning Lot 47 to his co-religionists without being overtly offensive to their fellow Americans: “…we have lately passed through a day of great commotion and distress, wherein the foundations of many were tried and shaken” by “that spirit of strife and contention which is sorrowfully prevalent in this depraved age… now seeing that storm hath passed over and the spirit which sought our ruin seems to be at peace with us.. soliciting our friendship…let us beware of the friendship of the world, for however clothed it may appear with specious pretences, it will prove to be a snare and an enemy as to our progress in the way or truth and righteousness.. beware that we mix not with the people, neither run with them into a party spirit to join in setting up or pulling down any... earthly powers…watch that we be not hurried into the commotions of the day”, but rather “contribute more to our own peace and safety…” Very rare. Only the Lilly and Clements Libraries and Swarthmore hold copies of the printed broadside; this manuscript version does not seem to be held by any American institution. Light edge wear, some tiny tears at edges; very good. (1500/2500)

Printed passport, completed by hand, second leaf blank. 46x30.5 cm. (18¼x12”). Washington: May 9, 1891 State Department issued passport for Emma L. Wyman. Printed on watermarked paper (a large eagle, etc.), signed by Secretary of State James G. Blaine at lower right. One of the most influential American politicians of the latter half of the 19th century, James Gillespie Blaine (1830-1893) was an American Republican politician who served as United States Representative, Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, U.S. Senator from Maine, and twice as Secretary of State. He was nominated for President in 1884, but was narrowly defeated by Democrat Grover Cleveland. Creased, some light soiling; very good. (200/300)

Page 16 49. (Boston Fire-Fighting) Robinson(?), Solon. Autograph Letter Signed, regarding a plan for fighting fire in Boston. Autograph letter, signed. 3 pages plus integral address leaf. Sag Harbor, Long Island, NY: July 2, 1825 To Boston Mayor Josiah Quincy. When future Harvard President Josiah Quincy was elected Mayor of Boston in 1823, determined to organize an efficient city Fire Department, he sent a local businessman to New York and Philadelphia to study the fire-fighting experience of those cities. Reading about this mission in the newspaper, the writer of this letter, a Connecticut Yankee working on Long Island, sent this lengthy letter to Quincy suggesting a fire-fighting system far superior to water-carrying “Engines all huddling together around a fire” until their tanks ran dry. A less expensive and more effective system would be to tap “the most inexhaustible fountains of water” by powerful “forcing pumps” to direct water “into Lead Aqueduct pipes laid deep underground and leading into every part of the city…at every convenient place have spouts run up from the principal pipes to the surface…” where the water could be accessed through locked iron covers – what we now call fire hydrants. The writer concluded, “Should you be so far assured of the practicability of my plan that you might wish to have one of the kind erected I would engage to do it. I require no recompense therefore if I failed to make it work to perfection…” While the signature to this ingenious plan has been obscured, a smudged docketing note identifies him as Solon Robertson or Robinson and the handwriting strongly resembles that of famed writer and journalist Solon Robinson (1803-1880) an Indiana pioneer who as agricultural columnist for Horace Greeley’s New York Tribune became the leading American authority on all matters agricultural before the Civil War. Amazingly, in 1825, that Solon Robinson was only 21 years old. A 2-volume biography of Robinson published by the Indiana Historical Bureau (1936) confesses that the “meager” information about his early life confirmed only that he was living in Connecticut, trained as a carpenter and possibly working as a “Yankee peddler” before he “wandered West” to Cincinnati and finally settled among Indians and settlers in the Indiana woods There is no mention of fire-fighting among the vast and varied interests of Robinson’s later life. But whether or not he was indeed the writer, the plan detailed in this letter represented an historically significant use of early American technology. Extensive archival repairs at folds, long tear obscuring writer’s signature, creased, light wear; very good. (300/500)

They respectfully solicit consignments of any description of merchandise adapted to the market, and all, orders, consignment or business of any nature entrusted to their charge will receive their prompt attention.” Followed by a printed list of references, which includes Thompson and such prominent merchants as fabulously wealthy Moses Taylor. The British-born Bluxome brothers did not pick an auspicious moment to set up business in California; three days after this letter was written, their office was destroyed in the great fire which devastated much of downtown San Francisco. But they rebuilt, and this letter is of historical import because their San Francisco interests were represented by 24 year-old Isaac Jr., an adventurous Forty-Niner soon to become the legendary “33 Secretary” - anonymous Secretary of the Vigilance Committee of 1851, who would personally write foreboding “proclamations” of arrest and execution for this group of wealthy merchants who, in effect, staged a military-style coup d’etat to end the “reign of terror” by “thieves and ruffians” in Gold Rush San Francisco. Faint yellowing; very good. (200/300)

Lizzie writes to her brother at Harvard, “I will be all ready for my California expedition in January.. Mr. Patterson has made all preparations.. God will unite us all...” And later, “It seems that I would never get through all I have to do for my California life.. I sail on the 20th, of that there is little doubt.. will meet Mr. P. on the Isthmus. I will have two servants and a most competent main servant who knows all about the Isthmus...” An interesting pair of letters from the wife of a prominent California pioneer, about to embark on the great adventure of the age.

The archive is mostly letters to Morton from his family, friends, lawyers, vendors, business acquaintances. Wear from handling and age; very good. (200/300) Page 20 62. (California) Brenham, J[ames]. Autograph Document Signed by the second Mayor of San Francisco in Virginia City. ADs on blue paper. 2 pp. 12½x8½. Virginia City, Nevada: November 4, 1864 Statement of company accounts. Expenses included “Advertising in Enterprise” – the Territorial Enterprise newspaper where Mark Twain, working as a journalist, had first used his pen name. (Twain had “fled” from Nevada to California five months before this document was written, to avoid fighting a duel). Charles James Brenham (1817-1876) was a Mississippi steamship owner from Kentucky who became a Gold Rush Forty-Niner, was defeated by John Geary in the first San Francisco Mayoralty election, but won the next election, becoming the city’s second Mayor in 1851. While his two non-consecutive terms in office were marked by an epidemic of violent crime, he opposed the Vigilance Committee executions. At the end of his second term, Brenham opened a banking house on Montgomery Street, but when the firm failed, became a commissioner of deeds, Treasurer of the Pacific & Atlantic Railroad, and, during the Civil War, agent of this prominent Santa Clara County mining company. A bit of yellowing to edges and creases; very good. (80/120)

63. (California) Chipman, William W. Autograph Document Signed - 1852 Founder of Alameda. 1 pp. San Francisco: Oct. 13, 1852 A legal deposition by Chipman, prominent San Francisco land lawyer, for conveyance of a 320- acre tract of land to his brother Edward, “for the purpose of making a permanent settlement thereon”. Notarized by another pioneer lawyer, and later Judge, T.W. Freelon. A significant document in the history of the city of Alameda, which was originally part of the massive Peralta family Rancho. In 1850, Peralta leased this shady peninsula fronting on the Bay, with its coastal oak forest that hunters and trappers found occupied by coyotes, quail, rabbits and deer to two Frenchmen seeking firewood for the growing city across the water; but after a few months, they sub-leased much of it to lawyer Chipman and his partner, who pitched a tent and laid plans for a town. Chipman soon bought the entire peninsula from Peralta for $14,000 (becoming, incidentally, Peralta’s lawyer) and built the first house on what was to become the Township of Alameda. In September 1852, weeks before he wrote this document, Chipman partitioned off 4-acre lots which he put up for sale for $80 each. At the same time, Congress passed a law authorizing the State of California to sell 500,000 acres of unoccupied federally-owned lands, proceeds from these “School Land Warrants” to fund the state’s first public school system. Chipman bought several 160 and 320-acre warrants, probably related to his other Alameda land holdings. For some shadowy legal reason, he conveyed these to his younger brother - who actually lived in Ohio, knew nothing about the land deals, and did not move to California until 1855. This “conveyance” later prompted years of litigation, but, nevertheless, played its part in the development of Alameda by Chipman, who may rightly be called Alameda’s Founding Father. Very light wear from handling; very good. (150/250)

Autograph Document Signed - 1858 Death of an African-American in Gold Rush Country. Receipt for money paid to William Hovey. [Yreka?]: Feb. 3, 1858 Receipt for various services, including building a coffin for a deceased white man – and $8 for “digging one grave” – without coffin - “ordered by Hospital for Negro Black man”. Though far from the heart of the so-called California Gold Rush country, Siskiyou County, on the Oregon border, saw thousands of prospectors flooding the area after a major gold strike in 1851. Beasley’s, “Negro Trail-Blazers of California” mentions African-American residents of the county only in passing, but it was the site of a “Negro Hill Mine”, possible evidence of a Black presence which has otherwise been forgotten by history. Some period ink stains; very good. (100/150)

DEED FOR LAND IN VIRGINIA OWNED BY LORD FAIRFAX 68. Carter, Robert “King”, Colonial Governor of Virginia. Early Colonial land indenture which appears to be transferring some 941 acres of land in Lancaster County owned by The Rt. Honorable Lord Fairfax. The indenture is 12x18½” and is mounted on what appears to be the pages of an old ledger, which has an ink date of 1774 on the reverse. It has been folded into quarter sections, and sewn together in the middle with old flax thread. There is a blind embossed seal mounted on the upper left corner next to Lord Fairfax’s name, and it is boldly signed in a 1x4” signature by Robert Carter on the lower right, as well as George Reeves in the lower left. 1728 Early Colonial land indenture which appears to be transferring some 941 acres of land in Lancaster County owned by The Rt. Honorable Lord Fairfax to a George Reeves of Stafford County, Virginia “during the sovereign reign of George the second of Great Britain, Scotland and Ireland, King Defender of the Government, Anno Domini 1728”. It is known that Robert Carter, Lot 68 (1662-1732) known as Robert “King”

Page 22 Carter due to his wealth, political power as Colonial Governor of Virginia and autocratic business methods, was the agent for Thomas Fairfax, 6th Lord Fairfax of Cameron, known simply in Virginia as Lord Fairfax, and served two terms as agent for the Fairfax Proprietary of the Northern Neck of Virginia. In 1702-1711 he began to acquire large tracts of land for himself in the Rappahannock River region of Virginia, including some 20,000 acres of which part was his Nomini Hall plantation which he purchased in 1709 from the heirs of col. Nicholas Spencer, cousin of the Lords Culpeper from whom the Fairfaxes had inherited their Virginia holdings. On Carter’s death in 1732 in Lancaster County, Virginia he left behind 300,000 acres of land, 1000 slaves and 10,000 British pounds in cash. After Lord Fairfax saw Carter’s obituary he was astonished to read of the immense personal wealth acquired by his resident land agent, and sent his cousin to Virginia to act as his agent, until he himself moved to Virginia permanently in 1747. There is uneven wear around the edges and there are 2 areas of dampstain which do obliterate small portions of the text, along with 3 small holes, but the entire is clearly readable in an old calligraphic hand. A rare survivor and a great display piece. (2000/3000)

69. (Cheshire Railroad) 1851 Broadside for the Cheshire Railroad. Large 16¾x22¾” letterpress printed broadside promoting the January 1, 1852 merchandise tariff rates for shipping on the Cheshire Railroad, which operated in Vermont, New Hampshire and Massachusetts from 1845-1890, and principally between Bellows Falls VT from the North, to Boston on the East.

For example, gun powder not taken on any terms, carcasses as to owners risk as to the weather, feathers double actual weight and pianos not shipped any distance for less than a dollar. Printed by the Sentinel Office in Keene, N.H. on heavy blue/gray paper with an attractive letterpress typographic border.

71. (Colorado Mining) New York Mining and Development Company. Printed Letter to Stockholders - 1905 Mining speculation by ‘New York Capitalists’ in Douglas Fairbanks’ hometown. 1 pp. Typed/printed letter address to stockholders of the New York Mining and Development Company: “VALUES MAY COME ANY DAY” from “our newly acquired property as well as on our old reliable tunnel.” Fort Plain, N.Y.: Sept. 1, 1905 H.H.Barbee, the Company’s District Manager was a well-known Colorado mining promoter who had come to the state in 1889 to open gold mines in the Cripple Creek district. This was his last enterprise, a mine in Jamestown, Boulder County backed by “wealthy New York capitalists”. Jamestown had been a boom town since the 1860s, when it sported miles of saloons, dancing halls and gambling parlors, but it was less memorable for its gold production than as the birthplace and childhood hometown of future actor Douglas Fairbanks, Sr. Lightly yellowed; very good.

Page 23 72. (Colorado) Thomas, Charles S. Autograph Letter, Signed - 1915 Progressive Senator denounces college fraternities. Autograph Letter, signed, on United States Senate letterhead. 4 pages. Washington, D.C.: c.1911-1915 To Rev. Paul Hickock, Washington, D.C. Spalding was critical of the “many fraternities…. whose activities are almost entirely social and whose membership is determined not so much by merit as by social favor and social standing. These must inevitably establish a college caste and an artificial exclusiveness entirely inconsistent with the American Democratic Spirit. Wealth sooner or later becomes the arbiter of membership and the poor aspirant for its favors will be rare indeed if successful. The resentments and heart burnings which these conditions beget are unfortunate. They are bad for those within as well as without the charmed circle and justify much of the criticisms directed against all secret fraternities…” Charles Spalding Thomas (1849-1934) was born in Georgia and served as a boy in the Confederate Army, but after becoming a lawyer, moved to Colorado in 1875, and following four unsuccessful bids for political office, was elected Governor in 1899 and, in 1913, US Senator. Woodrow Wilson was then on his way to the White House and his past opposition, while President of Princeton University, to snobbish fraternal “eating clubs” may have prompted this inquiry to his fellow progressive Democrat from Denver. Fine. (80/120)

LETTER REGARDING THE MURDER OF ROBERT E. LEE 73. (Crime) Peyton, Dr. Robert E. Manuscript-length Autograph Letter Signed about the 1843 Murder of Robert E. Lee. 10 pp. + stampless address leaf. Gordons Dale, [Virginia]: September 13, 1843 To his brother-in-law General Walter Jones, Washington, D.C. Concerning the trial of Richard Moore for the murder of 33 year-old Robert Eden Lee in the streets of Warrenton, Virginia on July 24. Jones was married to the victim’s sister, and Peyton was married to Jones’ sister, so both men were “disgusted” when Moore was acquitted. Another close relative who undoubtedly followed the trial from a distance was Robert Edward Lee, the future Confederate commander in the coming Civil War, then Captain of Engineers at a Fort near New York City. The deceased was his first cousin, the son of Captain Lee’s uncle Charles, who had served as Attorney General of the United States under George Washington. Walter Jones himself, once a General in the War of 1812, was a nationally-renowned Washington lawyer, a protégé of Thomas Jefferson and legal peer of Daniel Webster and Henry Clay. So Peyton, who attended the trial, knew that Jones expected this blow-by-blow account of the courtroom proceedings, which recapitulated the confrontation, a virtual duel with pistols, between Robert Eden Lee and Moore on the steps of the Warrenton Court House after a long-simmering legal dispute between their families. Peyton goes into great detail, from the selection of the judges to the four-day testimony of some forty witnesses, the attempt of the “feeble” Defense to portray Lee as “a spirited and fractious young man…disposed to avail himself of deadly weapons in any conflict” and then the surprising verdict. This letter may be the only surviving historical account of Lee’s death and Moore’s trial. Full transcript of the 3000-word text available on request. Yellow soiling to bottom corners of each leaf, many small tears at edges, not affecting text, tape repairs to many folds, stampless address leaf most tattered; good or very good. (1200/1800)

Havana, Cuba: 1904 To his mother, Mrs. L.J. Powell, Cleveland, Ohio. Albert Edward Powell was a 30 year-old lawyer from Cleveland, a recent Harvard Law School graduate, who was considering a position with the Havana law firm of Ernest Lee Conant and Albert Wright, probably the first American attorneys to open an office in Cuba after the Spanish-American War. These letters give his impressions from the moment he arrived at Havana harbor “to see the yellow and white of the city looming in front of us and the low walls of Morro Castle perched above us...” His new law office (where, at siesta time, he found no one but the janitor), “is very pleasant but unlike a law office in the states, with its high walls, tile floors…marble stairway…and general Spanish effect…” He thought Havana “a queer city…with streets like alleys, stores without fronts, sidewalks as wide as the curb stones, its negroes galore from the pickanniny to the grey headed crone, its Chinamen, its senoritas in mantillas and face powder, its Spanish mules and the sunshine of a summer day flanking them all…” While appreciating the inexpensive restaurant food - “40 cents Spanish silver” for a “square meal” at “the best place in Havana”, when he began work, he was surprised to find his fellow attorneys dressed all in white, “coat and all.” Though assured that he would soon be in charge of handling Cuban war claims, he doubted that he would stay. Powell did, in fact, remain in Cuba for several months, writing a series of feature articles published in New York newspapers, in which he declared the corruption of Cuban politics to be the equal of Tammany Hall, but also praised the absence of race prejudice and the diverse “mixtures of blood” among the population, which, he predicted, would contribute to the creation of a “wide democracy”. Very good. (80/120)

77. (Diary of an American Sea Voyage) Notes of my first sea voyage from Boston to New Orleans (caption title). [35] pp. ink manuscript diary. 20.5x17 cm. (8¼x6¾”), modern leather (faux alligator). At sea: Oct 27-Nov. 26, 1856 Diary of a young man’s voyage from Beantown to the Big Easy aboard the “Franklin Heaven,” with observations that are fresh and insightful, if a little naive. He records initial sea-sickness of himself and fellow passengers (a number of whom are women), the weather, passing ships, the food fed to passengers (“very good, most of it. Beefsteak 3 times per day with fish, puddings, tea, coffee...”), etc. He is a keen observer, and provides insights into his fellow passengers. On Nov. 15 he records “the great event of today, after the oyster pie dinner, was the capture of a shark. I had just seated my self to play checkers in the wheel house when the alarm was given that a fish was about and running to the storm. I saw a shark coming towards us. We immediately put a piece of pork on our big hook bent a rope on it throw out.. We soon had him on deck amid loud shouts. He measured 6½ feet in length...” One very interesting aspect of the diary is the presence of about 20 “Autographs of passengers on board the ship Franklin Heaven” towards the end, although a number appear to be in the same hand. Very good or better condition. (300/500)

Page 25 78. Dodd, William E. Typed Letter, signed, on U.S. Embassy in Berlin letterhead. Two pp. (11x8½”), black ink on embossed Embassy of the United States of America letterhead. Accompanied by the original enveloped, embossed on the front and sealed with red wax on the verso. The letter is folded once horizontally and once vertically. Berlin: 1934 A confidential letter from William E. Dodd, U.S. Ambassador to Germany from 1933 to 1937, to Baltimore Sun journalist Gerald W. Johnson. In the letter, dated August 1, 1934, Dodd acknowledges both the rise of the Nazi Party (“Germany has gone the limit, and her leaders have assumed powers that God Almighty himself does not possess.”) and the delicate political situation facing Franklin D. Roosevelt (“The President has the most difficult role in the world. He cannot play it through along lines of isolation; and yet an overwhelming majority of the people believe in isolation. This may lead to another and worse depression unless the press of the country comes really to understand what the problem is.”). A holographic note in Dodd’s hand has been added below his signature: “Perhaps there is no such thing as a free press and so no newspapers can tell the truth and the whole truth. I know that no truthful history is permitted in high schools [most important] in the United States or in Europe! What a difference in twenty years if truthful history were taught to rising generations! It would not tend to communism.”While Dodd discharged his duties with diplomatic correctness, he did not hesitate to express his own revulsion for Nazi ideology: he refused to accompany the diplomatic corps to Nazi party rallies in Nuremburg and delivered pointed lectures to German audiences on the painful American historical experience with freedom and slavery. In the end, he not only angered the Nazis, but annoyed his superiors in the State Department, who regarded his principled integrity as an obstacle to the supple operation of American foreign policy. Dodd resigned in December 1937 and left in broken health but with his principles and idealism intact. Upon arriving in New York on January 6, 1938, Dodd said that he “doubted if an American envoy who held his ideals of democracy could represent his country successfully among the Germans at the present time.” In response, the German government said his remarks demonstrated “the retiring ambassador’s habitual lack of comprehension of the new Germany.” Hitler said he felt “vivid satisfaction” with Dodd’s replacement, career diplomat Hugh R. Wilson, and in a speech at the Nuremberg Congress the following September, Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels denounced Dodd by name for his “laments on the decay of German culture.”Dodd is subject of Erik Larson’s recent best-seller, In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler’s Berlin (2011). Very light toning, with minor soiling to the envelope, which was neatly opened along the top edge; near fine. (400/600)

79. (Douglass, Frederick) Wells, E.M.P. 1838 Where Frederick Douglass Fell in Love? - document from the School for Moral Discipline. Printed and handwritten Document Signed, School for Moral Discipline, Boston, September 1, 1838, 1 pg. + address leaf, being Cyrus King’s student expense bill (and blank report card), sent to his father, William King, former Governor of Maine, with an appended note; and Wells, Autograph Letter Signed. M.D.School, [Boston], Sept. 18, 1838. 4pp. with address leaf. Boston: September 1, 1838 To his “dear friend”, Governor King, explaining why he had demoted his 19 year-old Cyrus one grade and could not reinstate him, lest he be accused of “acting with partiality”. As for the future, “from the best judgment I can form of your son’s character and disposition I think if he were to marry at the age of 20, one whom he could love, respect and enjoy” with “connex- ions in the best society… it would satisfy all his desires and he would become a settled member of society…” The same month Wells wrote these letters, Frederick Douglass was a slave in Baltimore, where he had met and fallen in love with Anna Murray, a free black woman. On September 3, 1838, she helped him escape from his owner to freedom in New York. They were married on September 15 and settled in New Bedford, Massachusetts. Harvard scholar William McFeely, researching a Douglass biography in the papers of abolitionist Maria Weston Chap- man, principal of a socially-progressive Boston girls’ high school during the 1830s, found clues that Douglass, while still enslaved in Baltimore, had visited the “E.M.P.School” of “Elizabeth” Wells, and had there met his future wife. But, as these papers make clear, the “E.M.P.School” was in Boston, its founding father, the Rev. Eleazer Mather Porter Wells being a saintly clergy- man renowned for enlightened work with troubled boys and “juvenile offenders” as well as being active in the anti-slavery movement. Did Wells play some still-unknown role in Douglass’

Page 26 life? As a confusing footnote, a recently-published “erotic diary” of an American Sea Captain records allegations by sailors who had attended the School that Rev. Wells “regularly solicited” them for sex, one admitting “to being a regular partner for the cleric.” Future Douglass biogra- phers might find this puzzle worthy of investigation. Some yellowing and light edge wear; very good. (100/150)

81. (Freedom of Religion) Konigmacher, Joseph. Autograph Letter Signed as Pennsylvania State Senator - 1850 Seventh Day Baptists Persecuted in Pennsylvania. 1 pp. + stampless free-franked address leaf. Senate Chambers, Harrisburg, Pa.: May 14, 1850 To John Monn: “We passed a section in our Omnibus bill which is some small comfort to our Seventh Day Baptists, requiring that the fines received against offenders of the law relative to Sunday as a Sabbath, shall be paid into the State treasury, not as heretofore, the informer used to get one half, he gets nothing now. So there is no inducement of a pecuniary character to induce persons to inform on your people…” For much of the 19th century, most states enforced Sunday as the Sabbath day of rest, legally prohibiting “commerce” of any kind on that day – to the detriment of Seventh-Day Baptists (and later Adventists), Jews, and irreverent saloon owners. These “blue laws” were strictly enforced, even baseball players being arrested for violation. Pennsylvania at first paid a portion of fines levied on violators to those who informed on their non-observant neighbors – a practice finally cancelled, as this letter explains, by the legislature. Whig Senator Konigmacher, representing the village of Ephrata, was himself a lay leader of the Seventh Day Baptist Church and owner of a summer resort that catered to Philadelphia and Baltimore high society, and numbered several Presidents among its distinguished guests. Many blue laws were later repealed or declared unconstitutional, but some remain in force to this day. A bit of wear; very good. (150/250)

Page 27 82. Fremont, Jessie Benton. Autograph Note, unsigned - Humorous and cryptic note about her son and in-laws. Autograph Note, unsigned. 2 pp. 4½x7”. c.1883? Cryptic and humorous content: “Scene / Breakfast room / 343 W. 34 / Mrs. Townsend (reading a letter) speaks – Now Lizzie, I knew it. Here is Mrs. Fremont writing again for that list. Mrs. [Totten?] Well – (? ? ?) Between the stools, one falls to the ground [sketch] Remedy – Try one [sketch] the old (!) original Mrs. T. for the list I must have. [On verso] My young people write most to 343 so I look for Carrie’s impressions [des?] great West from her home people. All goes well. I am sure or I would hear specially. Frank has written me once. I do not count on his returning sanity for some time ahead yet.” Refers to her son, Francis Preston Fremont (“Frank”) who had dropped out of West Point in 1876 because of incipient tuberculosis, but still received an Army commission while his father was Governor of Arizona (1878-81). In November 1883, he married Carrie Townsend, the daughter of John Townsend, a California Forty-Niner in his youth, who became a prominent New York attorney and state legislator. The Townsends lived at 343 West 34th Street, the address mentioned in Mrs. Fremont’s note. So this note possibly refers to the aftermath of Frank Fremont’s wedding, which was held at the Townsend home – followed by a reception for 2,000, including such notables as former President Grant. A bit of yellowing; very good. (300/500)

Crocker, and 1 unidentified signature. On light-blue watermarked stationery. 25x19.5 cm (9¾x7¾”). c.1861 The signature of Mark Hopkins is one of the major rarities in American autographs, and is very seldom observed. The letter, addressed to R.J. Stevens, Esq. reads in full: “Mrs. Henry J. Crabb is desirous of obtaining employment at the Branch U.S. Mint at San Francisco. Her husband as you are probably aware was formerly a prominent politician in this State and was massacred at Cavorca some years since. His wife who is a member of one of the oldest and most respectable Spanish families of California has by means of his death and disasters that have followed her family which at the time of her marriage was wealthy, been reduced to penury. She moreover has at present two children depending upon her for support. We cheerfully recommend her to you as a fit recipient of your patronage being assured that her appointment would in fact be a true charity.” The letter, recommending Mrs. Henry A. Crabb to Superintendent R.J. Stevens for Lot 90 employment at the Branch U.S. Mint at San Francisco, bears the extremely rare signature of Mark Hopkins. Mark Hopkins (1813-1878) was an iron and hardware merchant in California during the Gold Rush era. In 1861, Hopkins formed the Central Pacific Railroad with Leland Stanford, Charles Crocker, and Collis P. Huntington.

91. (Irish Invasion of Canada) Broadside “News Extra.. The Fenian Invasion! The Old demoplished Fort Eried in their possession...”. Single sheet, printed on one side in three columns. 47.5x20 cm. (18¾x7¾”). St. Johns [Ontario, Canada]: News Office, June 2nd, 1866 Rare broadside reporting the brief invasion of Canada by Irish patriots in the United States. In 1866, forces of the Irish Republican Brotherhood, shortly to become the Irish Republican Army, assembled on the border between the United States and Canada. Their aim was to capture territory in Canada for an Irish homeland, or alternatively to use any gains as a bargaining tool in negotiations with the English for Irish independence. The broadside reports “The Whole Province Aroused!.. Active Preparations to Drive back the Freebooters, “ with hopes that “the ‘Bloody Finnegans’ would come and be prepared to fight ant not keep cowardly threatening and doing nothing...” The invasion failed, but the British used the hysteria raised by the invasion to push through legislation causing the separate provinces of New Brunswick, Canada and Nova Scotia to be united as a single British Dominion, reinforcing its colonial grip. No copies of this broadsided are listed in OCLC/WorldCat. Some light staining and wear, two chips to lower right affecting some text, very good. (300/500)

Page 32 SIGNED BY MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. AND ROSA PARKS 92. (King, Martin Luther) Boyle’s, Sarah Patton. “The Desegregated Heart” Signed by Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, Ralph Abernathy, the author, and others. 5.75” x 8.5”, 364 pages, original half sage cloth, original dust jacket.inscribed and signed by the author and Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, James Farmer, Ralph David Abernathy, Aaron Henry, and James L. Bevel, as well as Bayard Rustin and Wyatt Tee Walker. A landmark book with a remarkable collection of signatures. New York: William Morrow, 1962 Boyle was one of Virginia’s most prominent white civil rights activists during the 1950s and 1960s and author of the widely acclaimed autobiography The Desegregated Heart… Her views on desegregation evolved from being a proponent of gradual desegregation to a leading and often controversial white voice for immediate desegregation in public schools and in higher education. Her 1955 article for the Saturday Evening Post, titled ‘Southerners Will Like Integration,’ prompted a fierce backlash that included having a cross burned in her Charlottesville yard. Boyle did not moderate her views, however, and worked closely with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), earning praise from Martin Luther King Jr., Lillian Smith, and others” (Encyclopedia Virginia). The achievements of King and Parks are well known. Baptist minister Ralph David Abernathy was a close friend of King’s and a fellow member of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). Abernathy was present when King was shot, accompanying him to the hospital. After King’s assassination, Abernathy tirelessly continued King’s nonviolent campaign for civil rights. James L. Farmer, Jr., was the organizer of the 1961 Freedom Ride to end desegregation of inter-state transportation in the United States; he ran for Congress in 1968, losing to Shirley Chisholm, but was appointed Lot 92 by Richard Nixon as the Assistant Secretary of the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare in 1969, a position he resigned a year later, frustrated by Washington bureaucracy. Aaron E. Henry, the son of sharecroppers, was the head of the Mississippi branch of the NAACP and chaired delegations to the 1968 and 1972 Democratic National Conventions. Baptist minister James L. Bevel was the Director of Direct Action and Nonviolent Education for the SCLC, spearheading three of the SCLC’s most successful campaigns: the 1963 Birmingham Children’s Crusade, the 1965 Selma Voting Rights Movement, and the 1966 Chicago Open Housing Movement. He was credited as one of the early organizers of the 1995 Million Man March in Washington, D.C. A proponent of nonviolent resistance, Bayard Rustin helped organize the SCLC and was the chief organizer of the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. After the passage of civil rights legislation, Rustin campaigned for improved economic conditions for impoverished African- Americans. Baptist minister Wyatt Tee Walker served as Chief of Staff for Martin Luther King, Jr. and was an early board member of the SCLC, becoming its first full-time Executive Director in 1960. In 1967 he became the Senior Pastor of the influential Canaan Baptist Church of Christ in Haarlem, NY, a position he held until his retirement in 2004. In the 1970s, Walker served as Urban Affairs Specialist to New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller. Second printing, issued in the same year as the first. The author’s inscription, on the half title, reads, “to Lois Chapman, with best wishes, Sarah Patton Boyle, September 27, 1963.” The other inscriptions include: “Freedom Now!! Rosa Parks,” “Best Wishes, Martin Luther King Jr.,” “Sincerely, James Farmer,” “Best Wishes, Ralph David Abernathy,” and “James L. Bevel, Atlanta, Ga.” Aaron E. Henry lists his Mississippi address below his signatures. Signatures only from Bayard Rustin and Wyatt Tee Walker. Interior fine. Light rubbing to extremities, more so to spine ends. Dust jacket in poor condition, with detached front panel, wear to extremities, and loss to spine ends (7000/10000)

Pleas, Oxford, to 3d Tuesday of August, of which I thought it not amiss to remind you, that our clients, the good people of Sanford, may be prepared for trial.” Founded in 1806, Harvard Law School was struggling to survive until Greenleaf and Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story became its leading lights in the 1830s. Greenleaf, meanwhile, as this letter indicates, also had a thriving private law practice in Maine. A touch yellowed, torn at original wax seal; very good. (80/120)

This copy, written in Latin, is from an original in the Salisbury Cathedral where it was placed in 1215 and has never moved.

We took out 3 tons of ore on the ‘Columbia’ and have 20 inches of ore in the face of the tunnel which is in 90 feet, it will come in play…I have some specimens of rock salt from the salt mountains and some ore from the Columbia which I will send soon…I’m working…night and day…I am making lots of our time but have a soft job and plenty of time to read as I have to keep awake walking around…I have a 3 round house cook stove and table, 2 store boxes, a cupboard and water barrel in the house. How is that for ‘furniture’. The mine is only ¼ mile from town so if Joe comes he can share the luxwarys [sic] but it beats camping out….” The Keystone Mine, opened in 1870 and petered out within five years, was ¼ mile east of Mineral Park; its surface ores were very rich and carried high values in both gold and silver. The Mineral Park “boom” which began in 1871 ended with the coming of the railroad in 1883, when most of the population moved to Kingman. All of the miners soon left. It is now a ghost town. A few tiny tears at fore edges; very good. (100/150)

103. (Mining) Peele, Robert. Autograph Letter Signed - 1914 producing a classic mining engineer’s handbook. 2 pp. Sabbath Day Point, Lake George, New York: Aug. 27, 1914 To Professor (Henry Smith) Munroe. “I…regret to hear that the hardships and excitement of the past few weeks had a bad effect on your health… I am sorry you feel obliged to say definitely that you cannot see your way to completing the work you had begun for the Min. Engr.Pocket Book…I have still some hope of a feasible compromise…Kurtz very unexpectedly wrote me that he wants a leave of absence for the coming year…I wrote Kurtz that… nothing could be done… until we know the state of your health and whether you could be able to resume your work… My own feeling is that he ought not to ask it and that is not practicable to grant his request…The war is too big a subject to write about…” Peele (1848-1952) “gained international renown for his monumental contributions to mining literature” (Mining Hall of Fame), compiling the Mining Engineer’s Handbook, written by a “staff of specialists” like Munroe, which “fulfilled a need throughout the mining world and sold more than 100,000 copies worldwide”, going through three editions between 1918 and 1941, the last edition remaining in print nearly fifty years after Peele’s death. That this letter was written four years before the first printing, days after the start of World War I, is evidence of the amount of effort that went into producing what became a mining classic. Professor Munroe founded the Department of Mining Engineering at Columbia University, immediately recruiting Peele as Adjunct Professor and later, Edward Kurtz as lecturer on Mining Law. Peele’s courses were popular for offering “hands-on experience” in actual working mines, while Kurtz was soon replaced, as students found his legal lectures light on Geological science. Near fine.

Page 37 104. (Mining) Unknown. Autograph Letter Signed - 1865 Hated Union General’s Mining Scheme. Autograph Letter Signed (with indecipherable initials). 2 pp. + original mailing envelope. Brooklyn: May 27, 1865 To “Oscar” (D.O. Cleveland, Broadalbin, NY): “…We have about completed the organization of the ‘Chemical Gold and Film Ore Reducing Co.’ at 64 Broadway and I am its Genl. Agent…I am in hope to get a place for you by July. So go into your Office of Census Taker. It will help a little. The Gov. has damaged me much. I would have had $25,000 stock in the Underground if he had signed the Bill. I hope he will yet sign the Baggage Bill. If so I will get something yet.” One month after Lee’s surrender, the “Chemical Gold and Silver Ore Reducing Company” was incorporated in New York, with a $5 million capitalization and, as President, Benjamin Franklin Butler – the Massachusetts politician and former Union General who had so offended the citizens of New Orleans that he gained the epithet “Beast” Butler. After begin relieved of command by General Grant, Butler appeared briefly at the helm of this company, which intended to manufacture and market a “newly discovered invention” for separating silver and gold from their ores, leaving the precious metals “free for amalgamation” – a process which the Company promised could save California and Nevada mine owners $5,000 a day. While Butler knew nothing about mining, neither did the four other Republican politicians who were company trustees (including the first wartime Commissioner of Internal Revenue, later Secretary of the Treasury, and the US Senator from silver-rich Nevada) – nor did the company’s “General Agent”, who wrote this letter while keeping an eye on political profit to be made from construction of New York City’s “Underground Railway”. Near fine. (80/120)

LETTER FROM A GRASS VALLEY MINER 105. (Mining, California & Nevada) Handy, Samuel W. Autograph Letter Signed - 1863 Grass Valley Miner to the Comstock Lode. 2 pp. Star City, Humbol[d]t County, Nevada Territory: March 12, 1863 To M[ichael] Horan, French Lead [Mine, Grass Valley], California. “…There has not been any regular or steady work or employment for any one man in this…County since I arrived out here. The folks are not given to steady work. Prospecting, selling feet and gambling for same or paying in feet for grub, lumber, etc. is common. A steady good man could have had enough of job work to meet his requirements and a chance of an interest in Ledger if they turn out as supposed to make quite a little pile…There are very few good Mines here and as yet few of the right sort of men to give employment to good Miners , having quite a number of good Silver Leads in this range of Mountains, as does several discovered quite lately in the range East from this some 20 miles distant amongst which are two very promising Gold Leads…which… would command a big figure in California. There can be no doubt but a demand for Miners and Labour is only a matter of a short time…price of Labour so far $4 per day…This is not a desirable Country to live in. A long cold winter, a hut summer and alkali all over the country. Still it will be one of the principal mining countrys of the world. And if a fellow is lucky about as quick a place to find yourself with a few thousands as any other I have heard of…I do not wish anything I saw should induce people to ramble into frontier country. I have no cause to regret coming myself. I am only the servant of a Company myself and can not guarantee anything certain, but any of my Grass Valley friends may rest assured if there is any thing in my power it will afford me much pleasure to forward their views. I regret to hear the French Lead is not looking so well, any one feeling an interest in Grass Valley (as I do) must desire prosperity to its Quarts Lead…” Both Handy and Horan were Irish immigrants who originally settled in Grass Valley during the Gold Rush. Star City, in a desolate area 150 miles northeast of Reno, was established when rich silver ore deposits were discovered near there in 1861; when Handy arrived, the town was just beginning to boom, soon offering two hotels, a Wells Fargo office, one church and a dozen saloons. Within five years, after producing $5 million in silver, the ore deposits began to run out and Star City became a ghost town almost overnight. Two tiny corner stains; very good. (400/600)

Autograph Letter Signed while serving as Captain and Judge Advocate of the 125th U.S.Colored Infantry (“Buffalo Soldiers”) at Fort Craig, New Mexico Territory. 4 pp. with original postmarked mailing envelope, from which the stamp has been cut. Fort Craig, New Mexico Territory: June 14, 1867 To (his wife?) Mrs. Nellie Stanley, Enfield, New Hampshire: “…The Court Martial adjourned yesterday and tomorrow I start for my Post, it is quite a trip, it will take about five days to make it, it is so very warm and no water for the first one hundred miles. I almost dread it sometimes. I have made the trip several times now and will have to make it twice more if…[death?] does not get me, which I hourly think he will…The weather is very warm indeed and a person can hardly go out of doors in the day time… There is a man here taking Photographs…would have mine taken but you have so many of them, you would not care for a new one…I have got some Pictures of N.M. scenery, people etc. which I will send you soon. I feel in hopes our stay in N.M. is now short as I hear that the Regt. is on its way…when I think it over what shall I be able to do when I get out of the service, so long a soldier, it unfits a person for almost anything else. So much of my life and the best of my years spent for nothing, it makes me feel bad sometimes. I don’t suppose you would hardly know me….it has worn upon me a good deal.…” Enlisted as an Private in a New Hampshire Infantry regiment during the last year of the Civil War, Wheeler remained in the postwar Army, commissioned Captain of a regiment of African- American troops distinguished for bravery, who were the first “Buffalo Soldiers” sent to Fort Craig, a lonely ramshackle Army post established before the war near the Rio Grande to protect travelers and settlers from desperadoes and Apaches on the warpath. Beyond the Fort, across a “Journey of Death” desert – 99 dreary and desolate miles without any water wood or grass – was another isolated adobe fort, and another 65 miles beyond that, still another, both garrisoned by Buffalo Soldiers. This was the trip Wheeler was about to take again, which he so dreaded. The photographer to whom he refers may have been a man named Gaige who was active at New Mexican military posts shortly after the War. Most of Wheeler’s personal correspondence during his Army years – he later retired in New Hampshire - is now held by Southern Methodist University. Stamp excised from original mailing envelope, a few tiny crease tears to letter; very good. (200/300)

RARE DOCUMENT ON THE HOUSE UN-AMERICAN ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE 133. (United States - House Un-American Activities Committee) Fact Sheet on the House Committee on Un-American Activities. Title-contents sheet + 24 leaves, stencil typescript on rectos only, stapled at top left corner (come sheets loose). 35.5x22 cm. (14x8¾”). New York: Political Education Dept./ Progressive Citizens of Amer., [1947] Rare gathering of information on the now-infamous House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), produced by the Progressive Citizens of America, a short-lived organization which sprung up as the United States shifted right following the end of WWII and replaced Nazi Germany with the Com- munist Soviet Union as its prime antagonist. The present publication was instigated by the attack on movie producers, directors and actors by the HUAC, which led to the blacklisting of many of Hollywood’s finest talents. As the introductory paragraph states, “The hearings on Hollywood conducted by the House Committee on Un-American Activities have brought forth upon the Committee itself charges of ‘un-American’ and ‘unconstitutional’ from major newspapers throughout the country, and widespread demands for abolition of the Committee from persons of varies political beliefs. But the committee’s shameful performance at the Hollywood hearings.. is not something new. It has always shown a disre- gard for the Bill of Rights...” The paper goes on to describe the various actions of the committee, its members (which included one Richard M. Nixon), their stand on various issues, the actors, producers Lot 133 and directors being attacked (and some of those

Page 46 doing the attacking, or at least acquiescing), movies deemed pro- (or at last not enough anti-) communist, etc. A truly remarkable document from a watershed period in American political history, and quite rare. No copies are listed by OCLC/WorldCat as being present in institutional libraries. As a final interesting note, at lower left of the first sheet is typed “uopwa #16”, indicating it was typed up by a member of the United Office and Professional Workers of America, probably a suspect organization in itself. About half of the sheets darkened and somewhat brittle, first sheet with top margin missing portions but not affecting text, some corner chipping and a few archival corner reincorcements; still very good considering the suspect quality of the paper upon which it was produced, a fascinating document.

134. (Vassar Women Students political passions) 1868-84 Vassar Women Students political passions - two Autograph Letters Signed from Vassar students. Two Autograph Letters Signed, including: * Cowles, M.F. 4 pp. 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. * Acer, K.A. 8 pp. With original mailing envelope. 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. 1868-1884 Only light wear from age and handling; very good.

A native of Kingston upon Hull, Yorkshire, he began his political career in 1780, eventually becoming the independent Member of Parliament for Yorkshire. In 1785, he underwent a conversion experience and became an evangelical Christian, which resulted in major changes to his lifestyle and a lifelong concern for reform. In 1787, he came into contact with Thomas Clarkson and a group of anti-slave-trade activists, including Granville Sharp, Hannah More and Charles Middleton. They persuaded Wilberforce to take on the cause of abolition, and he soon became one of the leading English abolitionists. He headed the parliamentary campaign against the British slave trade for twenty-six years until the passage of the Slave Trade Act of 1807. Creased, some wear; very good. (150/250)

Seward, the eldest child of Lincoln’s Secretary of State William H. Seward, graduated from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and spent much of his life in the West, serving as an officer in the paymaster corps. During the attempted assassination of his father on April 14, 1865, by John Wilkes Booth’s co-conspirator Lewis Powell, he was among the members of the Seward family and household who were injured. Captain Charles E. Clarke had served as Lieutenant Colonel of the 6th Michigan Infantry during the Civil War. He writes “Excellent” at the bottom under the section concerning Gambrill’s “CHARACTER” adding “Sober, Honest, and Faithful in the discharge of duty,” signing “Charles E. Clarke / Capt. 17th Inftry Commdg Co. D.” Fort Lot 141 Abraham Lincoln was established in 1872 in Dakota Territory, first as an infantry post. In 1873, the 7th Cavalry was stationed at the enlarged post and Lt. Colonel George A. Custer, Brevet Major General, was the First Post Commander. He served at Fort Lincoln from 1873 until the Battle of the Little Big Horn. On July 2, 1874, just nine days after signing this document, Custer moved his forces out of Fort Lincoln with trains numbering over 100 wagons, two companies of Infantry, a piece of heavy artillery, several Gatling guns, complemented by ten companies of the 7th Cavalry. In addition, he assembled a large group of Indian scouts. They entered the Black Hills on July 25th and remained in the hills for several weeks before returning to Fort Lincoln with information that the Black Hills were not being used by the Sioux. Custer’s next expedition to the Black Hills was in mid-May 1876. This time, the expedition ended at the Battle of the Little Bighorn, June 25, 1876. Documents signed by Custer as commander of the 7th Cavalry are extremely rare and desirable. In 2012, a document signed by Custer at Fort Lincoln as Lieutenant Colonel 7th Cavalry Brevet Major General U.S. Army, just as this one is signed, sold for $40,500 at public auction. Scattered soiling and dampstaining and wear at folds as documents of this type were usually folded up and carried as identification by the soldier; good condition. (8000/10000)

Page 52 150. (West Point) Looker, Henry B. Autograph Letter Signed - 1878 “Living Death” of a West Point Cadet. Autograph Letter Signed “Harry”. 6 pp. With original envelope. [West Point, NY] “B” Co. Street, Camp: June 28, [1878] To his father, US Navy Pay Director T.H. Looker, Navy Dept., Washington, D.C. Just arrived at the Military Academy, Looker was already on the point of resigning. He begged his father to forgive him for an earlier letter “ written hastily, when I felt half crazy with the wretchedness of my situation…”, full of “wild, rebellious and wicked” words which he knew had “deeply pained” his parents. Though life at the Academy was “a living death”, he knew that “I cannot now leave, it would be ruin, and that I will try by God’s help to go on with it, if I die in the attempt, for the sake of those who love me so dearly…” As he was “physically very weak from want of exercise”, squad drill left him “almost dead…my muscles no longer obey my will and I have been reported three times today for slowness when I could not have done better for $ 20,000.” Drill promised to become so “excruciating” over the next two months that he feared “it would almost literally kill me.” Added to this was the “petty tyranny and bulldozing of some of the officers placed over me”, which was “very hard to bear” - “we are reported for everything, whether it’s our fault or not”. A few older Cadets from good families had been kind to him – like the sons of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and the US Postmaster General – and he had found “greatest comfort” in attending prayer meetings and living by his religious principles - for which he had already “suffered sneers”. Added to the “hard work of the drill” were the “petty little meannesses of the hazing men…” who had made him “chew an old dirty tent cord” and had knocked him down three times. Daily life was full of “troubles without number.” He was crowded into a 10 by 10 foot tent with 3 other “ill-natured” Plebes, sleeping on the floor on a blanket which, in the morning, was “damp with dew”. During the day, his uniform was very hot, he had not been allowed to take a bath for a week, and the shoes he had been issued were “murdering my feet”. He felt like he was headed for a physical breakdown, though that might be a more “honorable surrender” than quitting the Academy, which would be “a terrible blow to my self-respect.” Looker did endure the Academy for another three years, finally resigning in 1881; he later became a successful civil engineer in Washington. It’s interesting to compare his gruesome account of life at West Point with that of Henry Flipper, the first Black Cadet to graduate from the Academy, a year before Looker arrived - after surviving the same hardships and indignities greatly magnified by overt racism. Partial transcript available on request. Yellowing and wear to envelope; letter near fine. (200/300)

C.O. made an announcement that he wanted (10) volunteers to go the front as Litter Bearers tonight (and it’s pouring rain). I was never so afraid in all my life, because he came to my table and asked if I wanted to go and I said NO because I wanted to stay in supply, but he did put my name down. I turned all colors, as did Sgt Bien next to me, because his name went down too. We both went to Sgt Gall for help... and told me to relax.. I just had my usual short-arm and bites and teeth inspection...” On April 8, he describes Seder services he attended in Naples, and notes that “We were entertained by a company of Palestinian Jews who are fighting with the British.” The following day, “This is the day that some Joker dreamed that the war would come to an end - Ha-Ha....” On April 18, “In the evening we formerely (sic) met our new Col., and he stated his policy in 4 measures, (1) Discipline, (2) Cleanliness; (3) Care of Supply & (4) Sanitation. Believe me, no one went to bed before mid-nite. Every body really cleaned their quarters. S/Sgt. Gentile visited the Col.’s old command and said we were in for plenty.” On May 26, news of the war, “Received good news the first thing in the morning, that there is no longer any beachead (sic). Now it is one big front, because it has joined with the troops from Cassina.. All morning long, 4 motored Liberator Bombers passed over head on their way to the front, more than I could count. It made a beautiful sight to witness. Approximately 1,000 planes...” And on June 6, 1944 “...THE INVASION IS ON Allied troops landed in Northern France early this morning. Invasion took place in Normandie between 4:00 & 6:00 a.m. by air and sea. By evening they were ten miles inland on all the five beachheads of Northern France.” On the front cover of the notebook, the writer has neatly inked “Italy. 2/10/44/ S/Sgt. Robert B. Levy.” Front cover creased, starting to separate from the spiral rings at top, otherwise very good, contents fine or nearly so. (300/500)

ARCHIVE OF WORLD WAR II GERMAN POSTCARDS AND LETTERS, SOME AS P.O.W. 153.

The small group of snapshot photographs is quite interesting, with a few having German captions on verso which have been translated into English, e.g. “1942 Toni in Russia. Toni = Anton Mueller, German Soldiers in Russia 1942”; “1942 German Fieldtrack in Russia Toni making dishes.” Other photos show tanks and German soldiers in the deep snow, one would presume in Russia.

Lot 156 Page 55 157. (American Art) Blackburn, Henry. Autograph Letter Signed - 1885 First US Exhibition of British Watercolor Artists. 1 pp. Boston: November 28, 1885 Letter to the editor of the Boston Transcript, with clipping of printed letter attached: “THE ENGLISH WATERCOLORS AT THE MUSEUM OF FINE ARTS…in the whole collection of watercolors there are eight pictures contributed by London dealers at my request, for artists who would otherwise have been unrepresented. The circumstances of collecting the pictures from the artists, and everything connected with the exhibition, were made public in England, and there is no disguise about the matter.” Called an “artistic showman”, Blackburn (1830- 1897), editor of the magazine London Society and Notes of the Royal Academy of Art, and author of a classic “Art of Illustration”, had organized an exhibition of British watercolor artists whose work was as yet unknown in America, including Alma-Tadema and his close friend, children’s book illustrator Randolph Caldecott. Blackburn was well-known, but not entirely popular, in American art circles, being hissed by a New York audience for declaring “the want of a national character in American art”. The Times called him the “patronizing castigator of American ignorance of the fine arts” and unfavorably reviewed the works in this exhibition as being marked by “conservatism and conventionality of style” Light wear; very good.

His work appears in the dome of the Library of Congress, in the State Capitol buildings of Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin, in the grand ballroom of the Waldorf Astoria and the private mansions of the fabulously wealthy. With his wife Evangeline, who died in 1918, he co-authored a classic 2-volume work on Italian Cities, though she wrote a number of books in her own right including a biography of the French Revolutionary Madame Roland which was not published until the year this letter was written.

LETTER FROM ILLUSTRATOR WILLY POGANY 161. (Art) Pogany, Willy. Typed Letter Signed - 1929 Illustrator Willy Pogany to Socialist artist Art Young. TLs. 1 pp. On personal stationery. NY: Jan. 5, 1929 To Art Young: “Here is Mr. Illes Brody, a very dear friend of mine, who wants to revenge all your past crimes by sketching you. In the meantime he will also interview you. I hope you will find a half hour for him, which will be greatly appreciated by me…” Hungarian-born Pogany (1882-1955) was one of the best-known book illustrators of the early 20th century (as well as a portrait painter of the rich and famous and set designer for the Metropolitan Opera). When he wrote this letter, he had already produced such illustrated masterpieces as his Ancient Mariner, Omar Khayyam, Parsifal, Tannhauser and Lohengrin, and, that year, Alice in Wonderland. Art Young was a popular cartoonist for Socialist political magazines - which would get him into legal trouble during the post-World War I Red Scare. (Ironically, Pogany himself would have similar McCarthy era troubles when he was falsely identified as brother of a Hungarian Communist leader). Iles Brody became a critical chronicler of the British royal family and, as restaurant critic of Gourmet magazine, of snobbish New York café society. His “sketch” of Young was probably destined for a magazine. Slight crinkle to a few corners; near fine. (600/900)

When I have read it I hope to put before you my admiration of it, for it will certainly be that.” England: 1915 & 1927 Two letters from the Anglo-French writer and historian Hilaire Belloc (1870-1953), sometime collaborator with G.K.

You?” The color photographic image on the postcard is of a tree, titled “Live Oak Tree, Largest in the World, Near Monterey, California.”The lot also includes a compliments card printed with “With the compliments of ” and the autograph in pencil, Ambrose Beirce. 1910 Ambrose Bierce (1842-c.1913) was an American writer best known for his vivid short stories (including the classic “An Occurrence at Lot 164 Owl Creek Bridge”) and his satirical “The Devil’s Dictionary.” At 72 in late December of 1913, while allegedly seeking to join Pancho Villa’s troops during the Mexican Revolution, Bierce disappeared; his ultimate fate remains a mystery. The recipient of the postcard, Blanche Partington, was a prominent San Francisco journalist and member of the San Francisco Bay Area literary and cultural scene.

Partington was the last to receive a letter from Ambrose Bierce before his mysterious disappearance in Mexico after December 26, 1913.

I only got five worth printing out of the eight plates exposed…I don’t see anything in the lot enclosed that I should care to found a portrait on but some suggest effects worth experimenting further with…the dress is going to answer very nicely. I shall have to make other photographs and probably quite a number of them under the light in which the picture is to be painted before beginning it, but these will be useful in showing something about how it will be best to proceed. They are just fixed in Hypo and not very well washed so they won’t last very long…” Portrait painter Benoni Burdeau Irwin (1840-1896), born in Canada and trained in New York and Paris, lived much of his later life on the East coast, but the five years he spent in San Francisco after the Civil War were among the most eventful of his career. He married the daughter of a Gold Rush Forty- Niner, became a close friend of John Muir’s after visiting Yosemite in company with William Keith, and painted the portraits of many notable San Franciscans, including the Presidents of the San Francisco Stock Exchange and the Bohemian Club – and the famous eccentric “Emperor” Norton.

Page 63 RARE HEMINGWAY TYPESCRIPT WITH HOLOGRAPH CORRECTIONS 193. Hemingway, Ernest. Typescript of Hemingway’s introduction to Kiki’s Memoirs. 2 pages, 10½x8¼”, carbon copy, double-spaced, on one side of two sheets of white paper watermarked “Extra Strong BF”. Housed in a custom chemise and morocco-backed slipcase. Also included is a copy of Kiki’s Memoirs (Paris, 1930) and a five page typed list of Hemingway’s works, and contributions to other works, through 1942 with an envelope of Bruccoli-Clark Publishers, and a typed letter, signed, from bookseller David Randall offering for sale of a copy of Kiki’s Memoirs. [Paris]: [likely December, 1929] A working draft (apparently the first) typed by Hemingway and with his revisions: a half-page false start is deleted, another beginning is switched, a sentence with a negative comment on Ford Madox Ford is deleted, and other changes including 10 words in ink in Hemingway’s holograph. Kiki (real name Alice Prin) was a famous artist’s model and the “Queen” of Montparnasse. Her Memoirs, translated from the French by Samuel Putnam and with an introduction by Hemingway -- his first for any book -- was published in Paris by Edward W. Titus at the Black Manikin Press in June 1930 (A copy of which is included here). Hemingway’s contribution was previously issued (22 January 1930) in an eight-page pamphlet form as Introduction to Kiki of Montparnasse in an edition of 25 copies to secure the American copyright. This 370- word apparent first draft was expanded by Hemingway to some 1070 words in the Lot 193 final printed version; about two-thirds of this typescript was incorporated into the final text. The corrected setting copy typescript and corrected page proofs that Hemingway sent to Titus are in HRC, University of Texas (Hanneman, Supplement, F6-J). Hemingway writes: “... The pre-war epoch in Montparnasse ended with the war and the post-war epoch ended when Kiki published this book. Not that the publication was quiet or dull...The other marks of the end of the epoch were not quiet or dull either. They were noisy, brilliantly electrically lighted and expansive and included the introduction of shredded wheat, grape-nuts, puffed rice and other patent morning foods, all served with cream, to the terraces of the Carrefour Vavin cafes. This begins to sound a little like Mr. Ford Madox Ford although I am sure Mr. Ford would be the first to deny it, and probably rightly, but if you have never written in the grand reminiscence style it is hard to begin...The people who tell me which books are great lasting works of art are all out of town so I cannot make an intelligent judgement but I think Kiki’s book is grand...” The first page with small burn hole at top edge, a smaller one at same place on second sheet, near fine.

Page 64 SIX MANUSCRIPT POEMS BY TED HUGHES 195. Hughes, Ted. Six manuscript poems by Ted Hughes. Six autograph manuscript poems comprising: * King of Clubs * Knave of Clubs * King of Diamonds * Knave of Diamonds * Knave of Spades * Queen of Hearts Each on separate sheet of plain paper (19.5x24 cm), written in black ink, each signed by the author, housed in a morocco-backed clamshell box. [1972-1974] Originally these poems were in the possession of Mr. Ronald Yates, a detailed account of how he acquired them during the early 1970s is included. Briefly, after Ted Hughes’ marriage to Carol Orchard in 1970 they continued to live in Devon, in Court Green/ North Tawton, where they came in contact with the Yates family. According to his own account of events he had no knowledge Lot 195 or interest in literature and was not aware of Ted Hughes’ reputation as a poet. It appears that he traded various items and “commodities” with Ted Hughes in return for “one and a half poems”. However, it is unclear whether or not the poems were primarily written for the purpose of exchange. An included typed letter, signed, from Hughes gives a slightly different story. During the late 1980s, Hughes published the series Full House, featuring 13 poems. Although the titles are the same, e.g. Queen of Hearts, King of Clubs etc., the style and content of the poems are not. Only Knave of Spades bears some similarity to the manuscript poem. Some spotting to paper; near fine. (7000/10000)

Kaempfen. 10¾x8¼”. Paris: 1886 To G. Guillaume, notifying him that the School would buy 20 copies of his biography of painter Antoine Watteau. Kaempfen (1826-1907) was a lawyer, journalist and minor author, his best-known book being a parody of Napoleon III’s “Paris, Capital of the World”. Despite meager accomplishments, in 1882, Kaempfen became Director of the Beaux-Arts and, five years later, Director of the Louvre and the French National Museums, a powerful position he held until 1904. Derided as a hack “journalist” by Degas, he refused to allow the Beaux-Arts to hold an exhibition of the works of Manet, whom he called “nothing less than revolutionary” and later banned Impressionist paintings from the Louvre during his tenure. Foxed with light edge wear; very good. (100/150)

However Corey, a noted collector of Dickens and Civil War books, suggested it might be more effective if the star remained out of reach. Ordinarily, Kent bookplates were printed in multiples of five hundred. Corey preferred his plate to be more exclusive and ordered only 200. Kent is arguably the most important American bookplate designer in the 20th century producing more than 160 designs. Roberts, D.: Rockwell Kent: The Art of the Bookplate, p. 114-115.

Gee! I’ll prize that picture - I’ve the sweet-limbed woman on horseback, & now I’ve got the sweet limbs, too. Had quite a time yesterday. Carrie [Sterling], Mrs. Whittaker, Laura [Bierce], and a few others were good and sick - and Dick [Partington], who never gets seasick, got sick when we came to moorings & he undertook the perilous detail of the cleaning up process...” Later, “Books in England have been published out of regular order, so reviewers think ‘Daughter of Snows’ last written.

But how(?) we come, like the light God said let there be, through all the chaos, to each other. But we shall sing the love-song put together and it will take from here(?) to the grave to sing it out dear love...” The letter is unsigned, as were all Jack’s early love letters to Charmian, in an effort to maintain the secrecy of their relationship.

Page 72 228. Twain, Mark [Clemens, Samuel L.]. Autograph Manuscript Signed “Mark Twain” in text - a “compliment” from Mark Twain’s new collection of compliments which he read at the 1908 Lotus Club dinner honoring him. 8¾x5¾”. 8 lines. It reads in full: “4 / Little Montana Girl’s Compliment” by Clemens. In full, “She was gazing thoughtfully at a photograph of Mark Twain on a neighbor’s mantelpiece. Presently she said, reverently, ‘We’ve got a Jesus like that at home, only ours has more trimmings.” c.1908 The Lotos Club, one of the oldest literary clubs in the United States, was founded in New York City in 1870 by a group of young writers, journalists and critics. Samuel L. Clemens, who joined in 1873, called Lotos “The Ace of Clubs.” At the January 11, 1908, Lotos Club dinner in honor of Mark Twain, the guest of honor announced that had become a collector of compliments. Clemens is quoted in the January 12, 1908, edition of “The New York Times” as telling the dinner guests, “They say that one cannot live on bread alone, but I could live on compliments. I can digest them. They do not trouble me. I have missed much in life that I did not make a collection of compliments, and keep them where I could take them out and look at them once in a while. I am beginning now. Other people collect autographs, dogs, and cats, and I collect compliments. I have brought them along. I have written them down to preserve them, and think that they’re mighty good and exceedingly just.” According to the “Times” report, Clemens began by quoting compliments from Albert Bigelow Paine, W.D. Howells, and Thomas Edison. From the article: “Now here’s the compliment of a little Montana girl … which came to me indirectly. She was in a room in which there was a large photograph of me. After gazing at it steadily for a time, she said: ‘We’ve got a John the Baptist like that.’ When the diners’ laughter allowed Lot 228 him, Mr. Clemens added: ‘She also said: ‘Only ours has more trimmings.’ I suppose she meant the halo…” Since this sheet is numbered “4” and “The New York Times” reported the little girl’s compliment after the other three, this was most probably Mark Twain’s reading copy; he changed some of the words, but it was basically the same story. Tiny chip at top edge; else fine. (4000/6000)

229. (Twain, Mark) Lyon, Isabel Van Kleek. Autograph Letter, signed, from Mark Twain’s secretary thanking the recipient for sending a book to Mr. Clemens. Autograph Letter, signed.

Very Truly Yours, I.V. Lyon, Secy.” Creased from mailing, else fine. (200/300)

232. Williams, H.[ugh] W.[illiam]. Autograph Letter Signed - 1827 British Landscape Artist Of Illustrated Travel Books. 4pp. including stampless address leaf. Edinburgh: July 24, 1827 To Mr. [George] Cooke, Engraver’s Office, London: “…our Exhibition which opened this month took up every minute of my time. I unfortunately had nothing prepared for it… thank you kindly for the beautiful selection from Claude, it really is quite exquisite and invaluable to me. Your brother’s work too does him infinite honor and I trust it will put thousands in his pockets. The price is reasonable and must ensure an extensive sale. The last number of the River Scenery is very good indeed. I like it better than most of the preceding numbers…I shall have the whole beautifully bound…I shall hope to see the progress you have made in the work of Pompeii and if it is not too much for my purse I may purchase…You ask me the price of my drawings… they are all done for the engravers in numbers, one colour and highly finished and such drawings I could not do for less than eight or ten Guineas…The size of the drawings generally may be about 12-14 16 or 18 inches but no difference in price. I make the drawings to suit the subject. I rejoice to learn that Greece is going on so well… Longman & Co. are going on well, better by much than Hurst & Co. My next number will be out very soon and will eclipse all the rest…The View of Edin. is going on well and in summer when the strangers come to Scotland it will no doubt sell rapidly. Millar…will proceed to my new work soon viz. Elba and unpublished Italy as a companion to France. Greece will be extended to 12 numbers in all. I think business is looking up here…” Scottish watercolor painter Hugh William Williams (1773-1829) was especially celebrated for his views of Greece in the romantic Byron era, though the collapse of his publisher, Hurst & Robinson, left him in financial straits. Ironically, finely-illustrated travel and “view” books with Williams’ landscape plates (like those of prolific engravers George and William Bernard Cooke) are now rare and highly-valued on the antiquarian book market. Some yellowing and tearing (from original wax seal opening - wax not present) at address leaf; very good. (150/250)

No date [c.1730-50] While titled “from Montfaucon”, this does not appear to be a verbatim copy from the classic treatise by one of the founders of Archaeology and inventor of Paleography but rather part of an original essay based on Montfaucon’s writings by some learned English scholar, discussing the military and religious customs of the ancient Romans. Some wear, including faint dampstains at top edges of a few leaves; very good. (100/150)

We gave exhibition flights in the following cities: Los Angeles, San Francisco, Salt Lake City, Denver, San Antonio Tex, Houston, New Orleans La, Oklahoma City.” Then it is signed again by H.H. Gunning, the representative of Edward Cleary, who was the manager of Louis Paulhan. Paulhan is famous for flying “Le Canard”, the world’s first seaplane, also in 1910. Light wear to edges; very good.

Farnsworth.” Two similar partial stampings are also on this page. He also stamped his ownership on pages 15, 127, 149, and 253 and twice on the fore edge of the pages (perhaps displaying an obsessive Lot 244 fear of someone borrowing his book and not returning it).

Worn at top and bottom edges of spine, binding loose; good. (1500/2000)

Page 78 247. Gould, Dr. Augustus A. Autograph Note, unsigned - 1848 American scientists commission French book artist. Autograph Note, unsigned (identified on verso as “Gould to Delarue”) [Boston], undated, but, from historical evidence, February 1848, on verso of a printed document of the Massachusetts Medical Society, in which both Gould and his friend, Dr. Benjamin Cotting – who hand-carried this note to Paris – were active members. February 1848 To French artist [J.] Delarue: “I have just received the proofs of plates iii.iv.vii.viii…and also the proofs of wood cuts forwarded in January…I have sent the proofs to Philad. for Dr. Leidy’s examination. I am happy to say that he is about visiting Paris and will be able to superintend the completion and lettering of the plates in person. He will also fill up p. 16 and will probably add one or two more, so that you had better commence no. 17 on a double plate. Perhaps he will not return the proofs until he visits you…in May. My friend Dr. Cotting, the bearer, will inquire of you respecting the state of the work, and will write to me respecting it. Whenever the coloring is completed, I should like to have you send the engravings.” Delarue’s lithographs for a French “Natural History of Mollusks” must have won him a commission from Augustus Gould, a Boston physician expert in Conchology, the scientific study of mollusk and sea shells. Gould was preparing for publication a massive tome, “Terrestrial Air-Breathing Mollusks of the United States”, by Dr. Amos Binney, founder of the Boston Society of Natural History, who had died leaving his manuscript in a chaotic state. Gould had expected to have the book swiftly finished, but it would not be published for another three years, a “perplexing delay’, he later explained, partly due to the “difficulty of procuring suitable artists”. One who was eminently suitable was 27 year-old Dr. Joseph Leidy, described by a biographer as “the man who knew everything”, another physician who had abandoned medicine to pursue scientific research. Leidy was also about to cross the Atlantic, to spend much of 1848 inadvertently seeing the start of a French revolution and meeting men like Charles Darwin. Though his chief interests were in Zoology and Paleontology, Leidy was also a Conchologist and skillful artist and the final 5-volume Gould-Binney set would be graced by his some of illustrations. An important historical document of early American scientific book-making. Near fine. (200/300)

249. (Mining, Montana) Curtis, George D. 1899-1904 Montana Mining Engineer’s Manuscript notebook on Assaying, with drawings and printed insertions. Manuscript Notebook on Assaying, 1899-1904, begun as a 22 year-old student at the Michigan College of Mines and continued as a Butte, Montana Mining Engineer, 1901-04. Approximately 135 handwritten pages, including drawings and sketches plus inserted printed documents, booklets and Anaconda newspaper clippings. Bound in a half leather and cloth binding. 1899-1904 Among the insertions are ore assay documents from a Walkersville, Montana Assay Office and Chemical Laboratory, for the Alice Gold & Silver Mining Company; leaflets of publications on Gold and Placer Mining; and printed Silver and Gold Assay Tables of John Taylor & Co. (San Francisco, 1894). Some of these notes apparently date from the years when Curtis was working as an engineer and surveyor in Alaska and British Columbia.

258. (African-American) Davis, Sammy, Jr. 1970s Sammy Davis, Jr. Personal Telephone Directory. 24 pp. 9x6¾”, original wrappers (with ink doodles on front wrapper). c.1973-74 “Personal Telephone Directory” of the famed African-American entertainer, undated, circa 1973-74. Davis was then living with his third wife, whom he married in 1970. There is a listing for Los Angeles Mayor Tom Bradley, an African-American, who took office in 1973 and for the White House in Washington, where, that same year, Davis and his wife were guests of President Richard Nixon (reportedly the first African-Americans to spend the night in the presidential residence). There is also a listing for pornography impresario Chuck Traynor (misspelled “Taynor” in the book), then married to Linda Lovelace, star of the porn hit “Deep Throat” (the code name reporters Woodward and Bernstein gave, around this time, to their FBI Watergate informant while bringing down Nixon’s presidency). Among other listings are Davis’ close friend, comedian David Steinberg, comedian Bob Hope, and Davis’ second wife, May Britt (a Swedish actress whose earlier marriage to the Black entertainer fueled a racist scandal). Half the numbers are in Los Angeles, but many are in Las Vegas, where Davis was a regular and popular performer.

Page 82 259. (American Theater) Brewster, Benjamin Harris. Autograph Letter Signed, by the future U.S. Attorney General, then a budding young playwright. Autograph Letter, signed. 3 pp. + integral stampless address leaf. Approximately 9¾x7¾”. Philadelphia: November 4, 1835 To F.[rancis] C. Wemyss, Theatre, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: “…your surmise as to the successful representation of my little effort is in some degree correct, judging as I do by the expressed opinions of others and my own expectations… Miss Duff and Mr. Reed not only entered into the spirit of their characters, but followed out their original design and purpose…the piece owed much of its success (if I may so say) to their efforts…however minute criticism here would be tedious to you and perplexing to me…I think I am sustained in my own Judgment by the opinions of others, when I say it was in some degree successful…the scene representing the Interior of the palace of Cortez was truly grotesque and in keeping with the piece. The Business was poorly done…”. When President Chester Arthur appointed Benjamin H. Brewster Attorney General of the United States in 1881, only his oldest friends might have recognized the Princeton graduate who had once tried his hand at writing for the theater, like the play he describes here to a friendly theater manager – Montezuma, a melodrama about Cortez’s conquest of Mexico. Whether due to the play’s questionable success or not, Brewster decided, soon after, to follow in his father’s footsteps and make a career of the law, thus beginning his 40-year ascent to Arthur’s presidential cabinet. Brewster letters of this early date are very rare. Yellowed and lightly worn; very good. (100/150)
