Elisabeth et Robert Badinter
Condorcet(1743-1794) d'Elisabeth et Robert Badinter
PARIS, Fayard - In-8 - broché - couverture illustrée - 659 pages - Bel exemplaire - envoi rapide et soigné Il était grand temps de rendre à un intellectuel d'exception, philosophe et homme politique, la place éminente qui lui revient. Grâce à Elisabeth et Robert Badinter, c'est chose faite. Leur Condorcet répare une injustice trop longtemps perpétrée à l'endroit d'un homme éblouissant qui, justement, a consacré sa vie à combattre toutes les iniquités.Claude Servan-Schreiber, Marie-France.Intellectuel, philosophe, défenseur des Noirs, des Juifs, des femmes, abolitionniste convaincu et militant, et accompagné dans la vie par une femme aussi belle qu'intelligente, la célèbre Sophie à la tête bien faite, Condorcet ne pouvait qu'attirer le ministre de la Justice qui fit voter l'abolition de la peine de mort, et son épouse, philosophe, féministe et passionnée par le Siècle des Lumières.Michèle Gazier, Télérama.Que devient « un intellectuel en politique » selon le sous-titre de ce livre ? Est-ce une pensée qui s'altère ? Le Condorcet des premiers temps, celui d'Elisabeth Badinter, est-il le même que le révolutionnaire de 1789 étudié par l'ancien ministre de la Justice ? La question qui traverse ce livre n'a rien de théorique. Elle est intime, brûlante même. Et la réponse que donne ce Condorcet est lumineuse.Marianne Alphant, Libération.Les auteurs, sans doute parce qu'ils sont deux, se gardent d'intervenir en leur nom. Ils font oeuvre d'historiens, non d'essayistes... Mais quel beau travail, sobre, fouillé, habité de discrets élans, d'évidentes tendresses !Bertrand Poirot-Delpech, Le Monde.

ELISE R TYSON for JH BUCKINGHAM J H
1840 RIVETING ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT SURVIVOR'S ACCOUNT OF THE SINKING BY FIRE AND EVENTUAL RESCUE OF AN AMERICAN PACKET SHIP FILLED WITH COMBUSTIBLES AND PASSENGERS
25 MILES SOUTH OF NANTUCKET SHOALS. Good. 1840. On offer is a sensational original 38 page manuscript account dated Boston 1840 of the ill-fated voyage of the packet ship 'Poland' which caught fire on May 16 en route from New York to Le Havre in France her passengers being rescued two days later by Captain J.B. Ingersoll with the Clifton. The narrator and survivor was Mr. J.H. Buckingham a descendent of Thomas Tinker one of the Pilgrim Fathers on the Mayflower his father being Hon. Joseph Tinker Buckingham 1771-1861 politician journalist and founder of the Boston Courier in 1824. J.H. Buckingham is also associated with the Boston Courier for many years serving his father's enterprise as editor publisher and reporter. Before this voyage he had just resigned as publisher of the Boston Courier in 1939 but would return as a reporter shortly thereafter. In July 1847 he made a stage-coach trip to Chicago and throughout Illinois as a delegate to the River and Harbor Convention and as a reporter for his father's paper accompanying none other than later President Abraham Lincoln. The actual writer appears to be Elizabeth Elise Russell Tyson daughter of George Tyson a railroad official and former merchant in the China trade and Sarah Anthony Tyson. She lived with her family at 314 Dartmouth Street in Boston and in 1915 married attorney and fox hunting aficionado George D. Vaughan. The detailed account of Poland's final voyage interrupted and ended by a lightning induced fire about 25 miles south of Nantucket Shoals leaves little to the imagination as Buckingham describes all: the beginning of the journey the devastating storm and subsequent fire to the cotton and flour in the cargo hold measures taken by crew and passengers for survival the struggles and the collaborative efforts the slowly passing and uncertain hours are recounted in detail until the final rescue. Luckily for historians and researchers the witness to these events was one of the few who remained on the vessel after most were placed on longboats. Not knowing if he would survive at all his observations are recalled in a calm stoic manner his recollections vivid and clear. We quote from the Sydney Gazette: "No language" says the writer of narrative. "can tell of the sufferings of that night which was far more dreadful than the previous night." After a variety of the most agonizing apprehensions and sufferings during which the mothers who had been compelled to hold their youngest children in their arms were well nigh exhausted the ship was put before the wind in the hope of falling in with some sail and as the vessel leaked the men were put to the pump and the water first pumped up was hot. At two o'clock on the afternoon of Monday a sail was discovered from the mast-head. It proved to be the Clifton Captain J. B. Ingersoll bound from Liverpool to New York with two hundred and fifty steerage passengers. The transfer of the crew and passengers of the Poland to the Clifton was effected. At the time the last boat's load left the former her decks had become too hot to stand upon and as she rolled in the sea the water ran from her reeking sides as from hot iron. On board the Clifton every attention was paid to these who had escaped such extreme danger and in due time they were landed safely in New York." Overall G. HISTORICAL NOTES: On 11 May 1840 she left New York with a total of 63 persons on board 24 being cabin passengers. On the 16th she was struck by lightning a disastrous event which resulted in a fire being sparked onboard creating a desperate situation which just in time ended in a rescue. On the 18th the Boston built 'Clifton' commanded by Captain J. B. Ingersoll bound from Liverpool to New York with two hundred and fifty steerage passengers came upon the Poland with her passengers sequestered to the vessel's bow. She took all persons onboard along with any salvageable provisions until the Captain deemed it unsafe to continue. At the time of the last load being removed Poland's decks had become too hot to stand upon. The deeply grateful group watched the Poland burned into the sea knowing that they had so narrowly escaped the same end. The loss of property to the Poland was estimated at $150000. The captain crew and all passengers were saved - within only hours of the ship's sinking. ; Manuscript; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF ELISE R.

ELIZABETH WILLIAMSON
1888 - 1929 FASCINATING ORIGINAL GROUP OF 15 MANUSCRIPT DIARIES HANDWRITTEN BY THE WIFE OF AN EDINBURGH MINISTER
Scotland. Good. 1888. On offer are 15 detailed diaries of a Scottish minister's wife at the turn of the 19th century and extending into the first quarter of the 20th century 1888 through 1929. Comprising about 200 pages each these leather-bound volumes are in very good condition. They measure about 5 inches by 3/34 inches. Most of the annual diary entries are 99% complete. Several are 33-50%. There are additional notes in the Memoranda sections. The entries are brief and her handwriting is very tight but fairly legible. The 1923 volume contains an insurance policy attached to the inside rear cover. It was issued by the Ocean Accident & Guarantee Company Limited. Ocean was incorporated in 1876 and through mergers continued in business until 2005 when it was wound up. The 1929 volume was printed by Letts & Co the firm that invented the world's first commercial diary more than 200 years ago. Under a red-sealed ribbon it contains 2 unique sales offerings. One is an accident insurance policy which notes it is not necessary for the . policy or the diary to be on the person at the time of accident. The 2nd insert offers an anonymous mailing forwarding & redirect service. The firm British Monomark had been established only 4 years previously and remains in business today as one of the UK's largest mail forwarding and virtual business service providers. The other interesting feature of this 1929 volume is a folding memo tablet attached to the rear cover. It can be used as a mini whiteboard as its polished surface can be erased with a damp cloth. The volumes for 1924 1925 1927 and 1928 are Edinburgh Diaries manufactured by George Waterston & Sons. They contain a very extensive information section including the usual lists such as Postal rates MP's and UK and Scottish holidays etc. Additionally there are some unique sections such as an extensive Gardening Kalendar Game Laws Terms Tide Tables for Principal Scottish Ports and a detailed listing of the Members of the Royal Family. The author of the diaries is unknown. From context we can gather that her husband 'A' is a minister possibly Church of England. There are a number of references to locations that lead one to believe they live in Edinburgh. Her entries recount personal events and happenings within her community: "Went into town in the afternoon and accomplished all my errands which were numerous. Called on Mrs. Mrs also on Miss Gibson" April 27 1888. "Stopped at Britismans a cod fishing station. 31 millions caught this year . "July 4 1888. "Lunched with D McGregor and Lady Jane Dundas and Lady Caroline Charteris. Aunt Helen had baptism . " Mar 5 1889. "Left Edinburgh at 10:30 for Abington where the 4-in-hand coach awaited us. The party consists of Mr & Mrs Thomas Leadbetter Miss Thomas Ball P & E and us. Lunched at Leadhills down Menock Pass past Canonbridge to Thornhill. Called at the Rogersons" May3 1889. She notes with a great deal of tenderness: ". Tonight at ten minutes past eleven our little girl came to us - our first born. How strange it all seems! God be praised" Aug 7 1889. "Percy left this morning. Mary at Creigs. A left this morning for Balmoral with P who was going across to Fife ." Sept 21 1889. "Meeting about various messages in the morning Shopping with E in the afternoon. Made calls in connection with the projected mission. Harry Parker came in at night. Called on Mrs. Williamson" June 8 1891. "At Graham Park Mission all day decorating the hall." Dec 23 1892. Many entries note shopping excursions and lunches with friends. She helps out with church events and bazaars. She has a very busy social life as would befit someone who is married to a minister with some standing in his community. The diaries contain a section for noting who visited the date of their visit and when the visit was reciprocated. There are many entries over the time period. Her cash accounts are sporadic but do note costs of various items plus her donations to various causes. Twenty five years on her life is still focused around family her very busy social life and church activities. "A went to 's funeral and took the service. I had no black or dark clothes so I sent flowers. I called upon Mrs . Fresh but cold. ." Aug 13 1924; "Went hunting for carpets for Joppa Home in the morning."Apr 14 1927. Joppa Home was a home for unmarried mothers and their babies. This is a superb resource for a social historian looking at the role of women in a society with a highly defined structure. This would be especially the case for Victorian Scotland. The author is a very literate educated woman who diligently records her daily life over a period of many years. Church historians would find the many notes of churches and church events an excellent research reference.; Manuscript; 24mo - over 5" - 5¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF 19TH CENTURY 20TH CENTURY 1880S 1890S 1900S 1920S CHURCH OF ENGLAND VICTORIAN EDINBURGH ROLE OF WOMEN IN VICTORIAN SCOTLAND CLERGY IN SCOTLAND OCEAN ACCIDENT & GUARANTEE COMPANY LIMITED LETTS & CO DIARY BRITISH MONOMARK INSURANCE POLICIES IN 1920S E GEORGE WATERSTON& SONS EDINBURGH DIARIES; LADY CAROLINE CHARTERIS SOCIAL LIFE OF WOMEN IN VICTORIAN EDINBURGH WOMEN STUDIES CHURCH HISTORY ANGLICAN COMMUNION IN SCOTLAND HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS DIARY DIARIES JOURNALS PERSONAL HISTORY SOCIAL HISTORY HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL ANTIQUITÉ CONTRAT VÉLIN DOCUMENT MANUSCRIT PAPIER ANTIKE BRIEF PERGAMENT DOKUMENT MANUSKRIPT PAPIER OGGETTO D'ANTIQUARIATO ATTO VELINA DOCUMENTO MANOSCRITTO CARTA ANTIGÜEDAD HECHO VITELA DOCUMENTO MANUSCRITO PAPEL . hardcover

The beach and nature figure prominently throughout as do fireside discussions about books she is reading birds she has spotted friends she has seen and enjoyed and much more. It is a diary of a bygone era and should be in a museum in Manchester-by-the-Sea. It is above all else beautifully written: October 8 9 10 1923. Days of unbroken sunshine. On the beach - in the woods - under the pines - by the fire. Each meal a movable feast. Called on Miss Anna Proctor in her darling house.Walked through the woods to the station. Ravine of unsurpassed brilliance. Met at the station Miss Mabel Carter of Andover who comes for a visit. In the afternoon I walk with Miss Carter around the shore via Smiths Point. Home at dusk; fire and supper. Long evening by fire-light only. Fuel enhanced by dry leaves. Mabel Carter eloquent on her Order of Silence a persuasive voice speaking out of the shadows around the glowing embers. She magnified and illuminated all the attributes of God with the tem infinite; Never love wisdom and power alone but always infinite-love infinite-wisdom infinite-power. The diary takes on a unique form after a few pages. On the right hand side of the book there are entries going chronologically from 1923 usually a few a year. On the left hand side of the book are long entries from the year 1941 beautiful written as well and presenting a very interesting juxtaposition between the two pages written many years apart. The 1941 entry is an account of a number of weeks at the beginning of autumn going on for many pages only on the left hand side. It stops for a few pages and then continues again. This can be confusing but Saunders writes on the bottom of each page where to go next to get the continuing 1941 entry. After the 1941 entry ends there is one for 1942 this time discussing the carefree summer months and the perfect Arden days. As the entries from the early years progress Elizabeth Saunders begins to include quotations essays passages and more taken from other sources. These include The Lost Continent of Mu by Colonel James Churchward; a passage from An Undiscovered Island Depicted in Shakespeares Tempest; Sacrament of Fire by John Oxenham; Islands of Light by Glenn Clark; and many other passages listed from many sources. Saunders always writes her personal feelings on these passages in very intelligent and interesting ways. She is obviously a very intelligent and learned woman. She is also a bird lover and includes lists of bird sightings for many years in the 1930s. Book lists are included as well beginning in 1923 and going all the way to 1941. Saunders writes often of her summer daily walks to Manchester-on-the-Seas Singing Beach of bonfires and holiday beach picnics with friends and family of the solitude of the beach in winter of bird sightings and books read. Her entries are an absolute joy to read and one that presents a complex and fascinating portrait of a woman over almost 20 years of her life living in the same place. This book is lovely and incredibly unique. Its cover has 1/2 leather binding and is still in very good condition. There is almost no wear and tear at all. The book was obviously very important to Ms. Saunders as it is still in excellent shape even after decades of use. Overall it is clean and almost immaculate. Pages and binding are in exceptionally great condition. The handwriting is clean and crisp throughout in blue and black ink. This book is really a treasure.

Elizabeth Helen Mahon
1951 Detailed Travel Diary of a Halifax Womans Train Tour Across Canada and Into the Western United States
Regina Seattle Vancouver. Good with no dust jacket. 1951. Softcover. On offer is a wonderfully detailed description of a classic train trip across Canada in the middle of the 20th century often reading as a love letter to Canada as it was shortly after the second world war as the baby boom was in full swing. The journal belonged to Elizabeth Helen Mahon 1926-2020. Mahon was born and raised in Halifax Nova Scotia graduating from Dalhousie University with a B. Sc in 1948. She worked in public health and as a registered lab technician. She married Ronald Curtis Lewis who passed away in 1964 and in 1993 she married Ernest Cavanaugh who passed away in 1994. Elizabeth had three children. After leaving Halifax Elizabeth lived in Amherst Dartmouth Toronto Brantford and finally settled in Cornwall Ontario. Elizabeth was devoted to the United Church and an active member of the UCW. She was also a long-term member of the Canadian Federation of University Women CFUW. In 1951 Elizabeth was 25 apparently dating her would-be husband who she calls Curtis and working in public health. She embarked on what is often seen as the iconic Canadian experience travelling across the vast expanse of Canada by train. On this trip she was accompanied by her aunt. She travelled west to British Columbia and then south to the United States stopping in Seattle before heading back east through Montana. Some of the many places Elizabeth stops tours and discusses at length in her diary include Montreal Winnipeg Regina Edmonton Banff and Lake Louise Vancouver Victoria Seattle Yellowstone Montana. She does indicate that she travels to Chicago on her way back to Halifax but her record cuts off after the Montana leg of her journey. Helens descriptions are well written and offer an excellent perspective of Canada as it was as well as some nice insight into western USA. Mahon often stopped in cities where she had friends or family and described local tours or excursions she took which adds a richness of detail to her journey. The following examples will illustrate not only the images and impressions of what she wanted to capture but also her descriptive writing. Note that these are just excerpts. Her entries are very long and chatty. : Soon after leaving Newcastle came to Bathurst and to the Bay Chaleur and saw the Gaspé Peninsula very clearly. High hills looking quite purple with green fields just like squares at the foot and little white dots where there were villages. Some places looked like sheer rock June 10. .Returned over the Henri Mercier Bridge in heavy traffic and came through west part of Montreal. Many of the Indians from the Reserve work on bridges because they are surefooted at high altitudes. Many work on bridges in New York and Montreal. Return to their little shacks on weekends in big cars
June 11. .There are a great many very tiny homes poor looking but almost no tenements in Regina. Saw many different foreign churches Greek Orthodox Ukranian
Romanian
Saw many of the buildings of the crown corporations such as Saskatchewan Govt telephone Insurance power etc
Many wooden sidewalks in Regina June 18. . As we climbed higher above Lake Louise the lake became a deeper color. It really is turquoise clear when you are beside it but seems to be a solid color as you get higher. Came to a little lake called Mirror Lake. From there we could see the Little Log House way up above. So we kept climbing
June 27. .The bus brought us direct to Banff Springs Hotel. We really felt ritzy in our room which is huge. If this is what the cheapest ones are we wonder what the more expensive ones are like
then we went to the Town to get mail at the Cascade and take the chair lift up Mount Norquay. This chair life is really wonderful the way you just float to the top of the mountain. The view was superb. We looked down on the Town of Banff the Banff Springs Hotel and right down the Bow Valley the way it flows toward Calgary. Mt Rundle is really a beautiful mountain and no picture I have seen does it justice
went to look around the hotel and discovered an illustrated lecture on the Rockies being given in Mt. Stephen Hall
June 28. One of the first places we noticed was Butte Montana. Rather a barron looking town from the train
Plateau land rolling hills no trees lots of sage brush then all of a sudden this ended and there was flat prairie
we disembarked at Three Forks for Yellowstone
the bus took us to Gallatin Inn
This iss a very nice inn run by the Milwakee railroad
July 7. Also included with this diary are 20 black and white photographs. The pictures are of individuals and small groups who obviously were important in her life. One has the annotation Anna. Anna was with Elizabeth on this trip. For a social historian this diary offers a fine overview of what Canada looked like through the eyes of a a young woman on her first trip across this vast country. For a gender studies program it points to the changing roles of women in Canadian society prompted by the enormous changes in society as a result of WWII. This small travel journal measures 6.5x4.0 inches and contains 108 pages. It is about 90% complete. The covers and binding are in good condition as are the pages. The handwriting is quite legible. ; Manuscripts; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 108 pages; Signed by Author . paperback

ABOUT THIS BOOK: In his short tumultuous life Franz Schubert 1797-1828 produced an astonishing amount of music. Symphonies chamber music opera church music and songs more than 600 of them poured forth in profusion. His "Trout" Quintet his "Unfinished" Symphony the last three piano sonatas and above all his song cycles Die Schone Mullerin and Winterreise have come to be universally regarded as belonging to the very greatest works of music Who was the man who composed this amazing succession of masterpieces so many of which were either entirely ignored or regarded as failures during his lifetime In this new biography Elizabeth McKay paints a vivid portrait of Schubert and his world. She explores his family backround his education and musical upbringing his friendships and his brushes and flirtations with the repressive authorities of Church and State.

La autobiografía de Rigoberta Menchú contada a Elizabeth Burgos. La descripción etnológica de una comunidad india centroamericana hecha por una joven indígena que ha aprendido para este fin una de las lenguas universales y que la maneja con precisión y soltura le otorga una dimensión literaria inhabitual. Eso y la personalidad apostólica de la protagonista su generosidad su sentido de la justicia y ese antiquísimo sentido del deber hacen de este libro un testimonio incomparable.

ELLA C KING
1884 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY HANDWRITTEN BY A PENNSYLVANIA WOMAN WHO IS FALLING IN LOVE WITH DENVER
PITTSBURG PENNSYLVANIA DENVER COLORADO. Fair. 1884. On offer is an original charmingly intimate manuscript diary dated 1884 handwritten by Ella C. King from Pittsburg Pennsylvania but as the diary opens up on July 28th 1884 we find Ella in Denver Colorado. While one would classify this as a travel diary in many ways it is more of an homage to the 'Mile-High City' as Ella is in love with the Rocky Mountains and on numerous occasions she mentions how she feels as though she might never visit this beautiful place again and becomes rather depressed at the thought. In fact at one point she is talking about how she is so in love with the mountains and says before she dies she will see them up close and follows that passage with
."If I only had one of the children and a horse of my own I would be so happy." In all she spends a little over 2 months in Denver. However while the 170 page narrative begins in the 5 ½" x 7 ½" notebook style journal a few days after her arrival later on the reader will realize this diary is very interesting on yet another level this being a sociological study: Ella is without her husband and children as she talks about them being back in Pittsburg. Why Intriguing clues may make for an interesting research project into her motives. Here is an example in the last entry: "December 31st The last day of the old year and I am all alone and in going over the past there is one little part I would clearly love to undo but as that is impossible it will be something for me to regret
.Good bye old year! I wonder where one year hence will find me." After her extended stay in Colorado in the fall she travels back home to Pittsburg. There she's a very busy socialite going to the opera hospital fairs democratic conventions taking her children to dancing school and other social engagements. Historians and researchers of the era in Women's Studies will have an interesting time with Ms. King. The journal was kept in a beautiful marble covered journal which is now falling apart and needs some archival repair. Both the front and back covers have fallen off but are accounted for. But the inside pages are securely attached to the binding and it rather large for its size as diaries are concerned. Here are some snippets: 1884 "July 28th Still very warm but breezy. I did little or nothing till morning. Indeed this is a very lazy life. In the afternoon I went to call on Mrs. Cinnamond an aunt of Alex Morris. She is a widow and keeps boarders. In the evening Harry took us the loveliest drive and we saw the prettiest part of Denver. Beautiful residences and the sweetest cottages covered with vines. From Capital Hill we had a magnificent view of the mountains. They looked so grand and majestic with the snow on them and the sunlight too. Looked as though they were almost at our feet when they are more tan fifty miles away." "August 1st I can write nothing but beautiful weather all the time. Jennie is something better though very sick yet. Harry and I have been with her almost all day. The Dr. has prescribed pretty severe treatment and if carried out I know will prove very beneficial. The fever is broken and she feels better though she would rest tonight." "August 26th Jennie has been more or less amused today watching young Stanchfield who is to be married this evening. I baked and was busy all morning. In the evening me and Mrs. Butler came and took me a lovely drive all over Denver. It looked so pretty with the electric lights all burning. We had the benefit of a sand blow coming up the hill. Mr. and Mrs. Yankee here in the evening." "August 7th Jennie's birthday! I had just finished cleaning up the room when who should arrive but the Dr. He was perfectly furious at finding her in bed but she feels so weak and easily tired. She don't like to make an effort to get up. How ever she will have to rouse herself from this time but
.Harry is putting up a tent for her to stay in during the day. Mrs. Kent here this afternoon killing herself over the Kennedy's having nothing to eat at the meeting." "September 1st What a lovely day this will be at home. The children all getting ready for school with the first stroke of the bell they will be off. I am so glad they have all had such a nice summer. Letters will come telling us all about them. This is a big day here the exposition opens with a grand parade. All the neighbors have gone and we were congratulating ourselves that we wouldn't have any callers when Mrs. Jenkin's and Eva appeared
." "September 3rd Still very warm. No change in the weather. Jennie wakened this morning with a very sore eye so painful she could not bear the light. It seemed too bad. She is getting stronger and able to go out. Harry took her a little ride this morning and it did her good. In the afternoon she with me and a guide took a little turn around the yard and sat in the tent for a few minutes
." "September 5th Was more beautiful than yesterday. Jennie rested better last night than normal and got off without a chill but as soon as she was dressed and ready to go out the old chill came on and lasted until dinner time. In the afternoon we went out and sat in the tent and as usual had one visitor Mrs. Kent Yankee and others. Jennie walked around several times and seemed very lively. A large drive of horses passed here today. Harry went to town and got some marketing and coming home finished the stable
." "September 18th & 19th Nothing in the world to write about. No one here. Jennie about the same
.A long letter from Maude with a full account of all their proceedings at home. That is all I have to look forward to my letters." "September 22nd Mrs. Kent called and gossiped for awhile. Made Jennie very angry repeating something she ought to have kept to herself
" "September 23rd Busy all day. Jennie rode over to the Dr.'s but as usual he was not there. Went to the occultist to see about her eye. Oh these grand mountains! And I cannot see them only at a distance and I do not suppose I shall get to see them. This time but if I live and prosper I am determined to see more of this beautiful country before I die. If I only had one of the children and a horse of my own I would be so happy." "September 25th Little Jim's birthday seven years old. I got up this morning and did a bathing before getting ready for the exposition and had to hurry like everything as I must be ready by twelve o'clock. I went out and Mrs. Stachfield was not quite ready so I came back and got a little lunch and then we started in Mrs. Stachfield's buggy. Stopped at the store for her husband and then proceeded on our way. I had ever such a nice time. The building is very good built of brick and much after the plan of the old Pittsburg building. The display of ore and minerals were very fine but unfortunately I did not understand them. The prettiest thing I saw was the representation of a ranch at Palmer Lake close to the foothills and the scenery was very natural and pretty. It being pioneer day there was a wedding of an old pair of _____ who wanted to make themselves very conspicuous
The ball in the evening took the cake." "October 5th I went to church and walked home with Mr. and Mrs. Mueller. They like myself are going back east. I hope to start the middle of the week. How I do long to see the children." "October 10th A beautiful day. Mrs. Finney and I did up all the work and made our arrangements to go to town. We got all ready and waited on the "Herdic" but it came not so we started and walked all the way to the Union Depot and from there to the "American House" where we dined and afterwards walked all over the principal streets going in any number of stores and made some few purchases and came home in the Herdic very tired." "October 12th Mrs. Finney wrote some letters and afterwards went with me for a drive. We drove to Wolff Lake where we sat in the buggy and watched the sun go down behind the Rocky Mountains. My last view. I ponder if I ever will see them again. When where and with whom." "October 13th My last day in Denver spent the morning packing and finishing up and in the afternoon went to pay some calls and say goodbye to Mrs. Rice Mrs. Mueller and Mrs. Butler Stanchfield the "Yankee's". Started at eight o'clock on my way back to Pittsburgh. The car being full I had to take a state room all to myself and felt like a prisoner all day. Met a very pleasant lady on her way from San Francisco to New York
." "October 15th St. Louis. Arrived at this place at seven o'clock. Got off the train and was surrounded with cab men. One came up and wanted me to ride in an affair that looked like the Black Menia which I refused to get into so finally got a carriage and went to the Southern Hotel and had a nice breakfast and after resting for a little while went out to Shaw's Garden. Came back had dinner and went to the exposition where I spent a pleasant afternoon. Went back to the hotel very tired had my supper and left on the Ohio
." "November 3rd A very pleasant day. Fred and I took the early train this morning for Washington but did not reach there until twelve o'clock. The children were all getting ready to go to school for the afternoon and wanted Fred to go along but he did not feel so inclined. In the evening George got a buggy and took me up to Trinity Hall
." "December 3rd Maud's wedding day and a very pretty one. Florence and Annie went to town and bought them little presents. Mrs. Finney went to town to meet Brady. The children went to dancing school. I went with them as far as the Market House when I got out and walked all the way to Goettmen's to order the ice cream for Maude's wedding. Came home and met the Dr. at the door. He looks quite well. Miss Bissell and Ivie called in the afternoon. Henry Bissell and Daisy went to the cemetery. Mr. Byllesby came in the evening when we had an old fashioned wedding supper with huckleberry pie to please Fred. Will Hersperyer came at eight o'clock in a carriage when everything being ready he and Maude stood up and were married without one bit of fuss or trouble and drove off greatly delighted with each other
