Autograph Manuscript, the printer’s copy of her short story Jerseys, or The Girls’ Ghost, 53 pp (most on rectos only, lacking p 31), 8vo, on lined paper with numerous corrections and interlineations, bound in blue morocco gilt by Bennett, first leaf repaired at margins, minor finger soiling and paperclip stain on pp 2 and 3, binding rubbed. Provenance: Estelle Doheny (bookplate). This girl’s school story by the famous author of Little Women (1868-1869) was first published in St. Nicholas (July 1884), pp 680-88; and reprinted in Spinning-Wheel Stories (1885), pp 137-62. The author’s name and a printer’s note (“July St. Nic. O. S. Bourgeois. 1st Form. Wanted Soon. By May 4th”) in purple ink in a different hand appears on p. 1. The notation “No. 7” on the same page indicates that it was the seventh selection in Spinning-Wheel Stories. It is perhaps the most important of these often polemical narratives. An early feminist, Alcott introduces the latest concepts of late 19th Century dress and diet reform. Not every student at Madame Stein’s Select Boarding School welcomes the new teacher’s radical principles. “I do hope Miss Orne isn’t full of the new notions about clothes, and food, and exercise, and rights and rubbish of that sort,” complains narrow minded Maude. “Mamma hates such ideas, and so do I.” Despite initial resistance to her instruction, Miss Orne’s experiment proves in the end to be a great success in the preparation of healthy young lives. No other important Louisa May Alcott manuscript for a work of fiction has come up for auction in nearly thirty-five years.

Babel”), 1 p, 16mo, Moscow, March 11, 1929, discussing a painting, in ink on paper torn from a notebook, some soiling and wear at edges. RARE AUTOGRAPH LETTER FROM ISAAK BABEL, to K.P. Rotov (1902-1959), a popular Soviet cartoonist who contributed to Krokodil and Pravda and illustrated numerous children’s books: Dear Kostya, Please be so kind and send me that new painting that everybody has been talking about for a whole month. It’s of Odessa and this, you know, is an ever alive memory. Don’t forget! I. Babel M[oscow] March 11, 1929 The picture he refers to was an illustration for a new edition of Odessa Tales (1925) that was never published. Born in the Moldavanka section of Odessa, Isaak Babel is today considered one of the greatest of Soviet Jewish writers. Maxim Gorky was an early mentor; Boris Pasternak, a great admirer. According to Jorge Luis Borges, “Salt”, one of Babel’s greatest stories, “enjoys a glory seemingly reserved for poems and rarely attained by prose.” He is perhaps best known for Red Cavalry, which Sergei Eisenstein wanted to film. Unfortunately, he was also one of the most tragic figures in Russian literature. Babel’s letters and manuscripts are of greatest rarity. He was arrested as “an enemy of the people” during Stalin’s Great Purge, accused of a long-time affair with the wife of NKVD chief Nikolai Yezhov. Under interrogation, he confessed to being a counter-revolutionary Trotskyite terrorist and a foreign spy and was shot on January 27, 1940. Finally, in 1954, Nikita Khruschev rehabilitated him publicly, on a single, typed half-sheet of paper: “The sentence of the military collegium dated 26 January 1940 concerning Babel, I.E., is revoked on the basis of newly discovered circumstances and the case against him is terminated in the absence of elements of a crime.” ABPC lists only one Babel manuscript (sold Sotheby’s, London, 1993) and no letters.

Autograph Manuscript Initialed (“E.B.B.”), being the working notebook for the poems contained in The Seraphim and Other Poems, 159 pp, including 8 blanks, 8vo, n.p., [1835- 1837], with extensive holograph revisions throughout, bound in contemporary half green calf, spine plainly ruled in gilt, gray endpapers (signed “E.B.B./ 1837 to pastedown, and holograph notes to rear), modern folding cloth chemise and red morocco slipcase, internal soiling, loss of upper corner of p. 93, small crack to upper joint of binding, minor scuffing. Provenance: Sale Sotheby’s, July 16, 1984. ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING’S AUTOGRAPH NOTEBOOK FOR THE YEARS 1835- 1837, CONTAINING DRAFTS FOR EVERY POEM TO APPEAR IN HER FIRST SIGNIFICANT COLLECTION OF HER OWN POETRY. The Seraphim and Other Poems, published by Saunders and Otley in 1838, established Elizabeth Barrett as one of the most important poets of her age. “Poetry is essentially truthfulness,” she declares in the preface, “and the very incoherences of poetic dreaming are but the struggle and the strife to reach the True in the Unknown.” Her first significant work to carry her name (notwithstanding The Battle of Marathon, privately printed when she was only fourteen), Seraphim was in her own estimation “the first utterance of my own individuality.” The titular poem (originally called “The Crucified”), a dialogue between two angels at Christ’s Crucifixion, was suggested to her while she was translating Aeschylus’ “Prometheus Bound”, and in some ways represents the anti-Prometheus in its move away from the mythological toward the spiritual. The working notebook demonstrates how diligently she wrote and rewrote each poem. Her intense minuscule hand fills in the pages and many of the margins (even the back endpapers) with verses and revisions, words, phrases, lines and stanzas extensively altered with sepia ink and pencil and sometimes crossed out. Occasionally she turned the notebook over to begin a new poem on the verso of a sheet. Even with the chunk missing from page 94, she undauntedly turned the leaf and continued writing across the exposed area of p 92. The extraordinary autograph notebook contains all of the poems in the published collection, as well as eleven others that may remain unpublished. She has initialed the notebook in ink “E.B.B. 1837” (for “Elizabeth Barrett Barrett”) on the front endpaper; she did not marry fellow poet Robert Browning until 1846. This significant collection of drafts, with the extensive additions, deletions, and emendations, from the first important collection of the poet’s own work, as she seeks and discovers the incipient strength of her developing voice, represents an invaluable resource for Browning scholars, and provides a vital link in the extant collections of Browning’s notebooks.

Autograph Manuscript, being transcripts from early English poets Geoffrey Chaucer, Edmund Spencer, John Fletcher and popular balladry as appropriate subjects for watercolors, 12 pp, 8vo rectos and versos, n.p., [c.1839]; WITH: Autograph Letter Signed (“Elizabeth B. Barrett”), 4 pp, 16mo, Torquay, 11 June 1839, to Mr. Weale, with manuscript title page with tipped- in engraved portrait frontispiece, bound to 4to size, in gilt-lettered full deep brown levant morocco, g.e., by Sangorski & Sutcliffe. Provenance: Maggs, Catalogue 333, Spring 1915, item 44; Anderson Galleries, Library of John L. Clawson, November 29, 1920, item 29; W. T. H. Howe; Edith Barbara Tranter (bookplates); the present owner. In the letter, Miss Barrett, while convalescing in Torquay, writes to Mr. Weale: “The watercolour drawing is extremely beautiful & suggestive. The moonlight in it cannot be said to have “no business there” — for it comes like a spirit upon the ruin..the place for spirits — and reconciles us to desolation. You have done what is said to be impossible ‘painted a thought’..And I am satisfied to hear in the silence of your picture, Spencer’s very own voice... “O mulla mine, I whilome taught to weep,” looking , with that moonlight on it, as if it wept still! Thank you again and again!-- I have written out some suggestions for paintings--as you asked me to do.

I just think that everything in the White House should be the best -- the entertainment that's given here. The art of children is the same the world over. And so, of course, is our feeling for children. I think it is good in a world where there's quite enough to divide people, that we should cherish the language and emotion that unite us all.

  • THE JFK ASSASSINATION CHRONOLOGY Compiled by Ira David Wood III
    THE JFK ASSASSINATION CHRONOLOGY Compiled by Ira David Wood III The following is a copyrighted excerpt of THE JFK ASSASSINATION CHRONOLOGY compiled by Ira David Wood III dealing with timelines and events surrounding the period of JFK’s presidency. In some instances, sources are noted - i.e. “AQOC” -an abreviation for the book, A Question Of Character. Mr. Wood is currently attempting to list all sources in anticipation of publication. January 19, 1961 Eisenhower and JFK meet at the White House for a final briefing. Eisenhower tells JFK that he must assume responsibility for the overthrow of Fidel Castro and his dangerous government, and recommends the acceleration of the proposed Cuban invasion. Says Eisenhower: “ . we cannot let the present government there go on.” AQOC Eight inches of snow falls in Washington, D.C. tonight. Traffic is snarled all over the city. After a reception, a party, and a concert at Constitution Hall, the Kennedys attend a star-studded gala at the National Guard Armory planned by Frank Sinatra. Boxes cost ten thousand dollars apiece, while individual seats go for one hundred dollars. JFK gets to bed about 4:00 A.M. AQOC January 20, 1961 JFK is sworn in as the nation’s 35th President JFK is sworn in by Chief Justice Earl Warren. JFK is the wealthiest president in American history. His private income, before taxes, is estimated at about five hundred thousand a year. On his forty-fifth birthday, his personal fortune goes up an estimated $2.5 million, in 1962, when he receives another fourth of his share in three trust funds established by his father for his children.

  • Jackie Onassis Dies Shy Glamour Characterized Ex-First Lady by Robert D
    Jackie Onassis dies Shy glamour characterized ex-first lady By Robert D. McFadden The New York Times NEW YORK — Jiequeline Kennedy Onassis, the widow of President John F. Kenfiedy and of the Greek shipping magnate Aris- totle Onassis, died of a form of cancer of the lymphatic system Thursday at her apartment. She was 64 years old. Onassis, who had enjoyed ro- bust good health nearly all her life, began being treated for non-Hodg- kin's lymphoma in early January and had been undergoing chemo- therapy and other treatments in recent months while continuing her work as a book editor and her social, family and other personal routines.

In recent years Onassis had lived quietly but not in seclusion, working at Doubleday; joining ef- forts to preserve historic New York buildings; spending time with her son, daughter and grand- children; jogging in Central Park; getting away to her estates in New Jersey, at Hyannis, Mass., and on Martha's Vineyard, and going about town with Maurice Tern- pelsman, a financier who had be- come her closest companion.

  • "Amiable" Children of John and Sarah Livingston Jay by Louise V
    The "Amiable" Children of John and Sarah Livingston Jay by Louise V. North © Columbia's Legacy: Friends and Enemies in the New Nation Conference at Columbia University and The New-York Historical Society, Dec. 10, 2004 Sarah Jay wrote her husband [Oct. 1801]: "I have been rendered very happy by the company of our dear children . I often, I shd. say daily, bless God for giving us such amiable Children. May they long be preserved a blessing to us & to the community." Who were these 'amiable' children, and what were they like? The happy marriage of John and Sarah Jay produced six children: Peter Augustus, born in Elizabeth, New Jersey, in 1776; Susan, born and died in Madrid after only a few weeks of life, in 1780; Maria, born in Madrid in 1782; Ann, born in Paris in 1783, William and Sarah Louisa, born in NYC in 1789 and 1792 respectively. As you can see by the birthplaces of these children, their parents played active parts on the stage of independence, doing what needed to be done, wherever it needed to be done, at the end of a colonial era and the birth of a new nation. John Jay held a greater variety of posts than any other Founding Father, posts he insisted he did not seek but felt it his duty to his country to assume. Sarah Livingston Jay, brought up in a political household, was a strong support to her husband, astutely networking with the movers and shakers of the time (as a look at her Invitation Lists of 1787–1788 shows).

  • The Clarkson Family Of
    The Clarkson Family of Potsdam By Margurite Gurley Chapman POTSDAM, NEW YORK i958 f oPewoPd To the Reader: I have written this brief story of the Clarksons in Potsdam and their fore-bears in hopes it will answer some of the questions in your mind concerning the family. I suggest that the reader consult the accompanying geneology frequently as the names are often repeated and it is a problem to keep the various Davids, Matthews, Levinuses, Elizabeths and Ann Marys straight. It will help clarify the different families and their relationships. If you follow the spaces from left to right, you will be able to tell which Clarksons were in the same generation, which ones were brothers or whether they were cousins. I am indebted to Clarkson College for their cooperation in loan­ ing me material and pictures, to Mrs. Frederick Ramsdell for ma­ terial she obtained for me, to Mrs. Lloyd Keller, curator of the Potsdam Public Museum, for books and loans. My one regret is that more material is not available, but what there is, I hope you will find interesting. Marguerite Gurley Chapman June, 1958. "Holcroft'' as it was built by John C. Clarkson in 1821-2., before the mansard roof was added. This was copied from a picture on the edge of a map of Potsdam dated 1853. 'Property of L. Clarkson.'
