‎FRANK A JACKSON‎

‎1943 ORIGINAL ARCHIVE OF MANUSCRIPT LETTERS AND DOCUMENTS DETAILING THE WWII SERVICE OF A US NAVY SAILOR AND SURVIVOR OF THE ILL FATED USS LEEDSTOWN‎

‎USS LEEDSTOWN MEDITERRANEAN. Good. 1940. On offer is a unique WW2 archive containing over 64 documents placed in 82 sheet protectors including fascinating personal letters photos training certificates receipts passes USS launching cachets official correspondence newspaper clips etc. Most documents are in excellent condition. The archive belonged to Frank Andrew Jackson from Devon Connecticut and covers the period from 1940 to 1946. After having attended drills with the 20th division USNR Naval Reserve for five months in March 1941 Frank requested to be ordered for active duty on USS Goldcrest but he was ordered to the Naval Training Station at Norfolk instead. In January 1942 he attended New London Air Raid Warden School in Connecticut where some of the classes were taught by Yale professors. The archive includes printed program and handwritten notes and exams from the School. The same year he received Coxswain and Boatswain assistant's certificates and started his service on board of USS Leedstown that was commissioned in late September 1942. Almost immediately she crossed the Atlantic to Belfast Northern Ireland and joined a force preparing for Operation Torch the invasion of French North Africa. On November 9 the German submarine hit her with two torpedoes and she sank bow first off the Algerian coast with the loss of eight men out of more than 500 aboard. In one of the letters Frank mentions this event: "Nov. 11 1943: Well Bill it's a year ago today that the Leedstown went to the bottom. This night a year ago we were in a miserable state. Wringing wet and covered with oil…." Personal letters are the most interesting part of the archive. One is from Frank's mother of October 1942 three weeks before the ship was sunk: "Dear Son - a very pleasant bit of news today Sunday a wire to let me know you are safe. That lifted a load from my heart" another of July 1941 addressed to Frank and signed "Joe" a friend who served on a USS Catbird a letter to Fred Jackson. Most letters 34 pages are written by Frank to Bill Jackson probably his brother living in East Weymouth in Massachusetts. These letters describe in detail Frank's service on destroyer escort ships encounters with submarines storms places they pass intercepting enemy messages spending time ashore and even hunting in Curacao. Below are some excerpts from the letters: "Hello Bill Just finished four days and three nights at sea riding a tail end of a hurricane. Sure did some rolling for a while. Rolled as much as 40 degrees. Sure had a lot of sick hands aboard….These trips send up the tax payers money. Not doing a bit of good as far as the war is concerned… I better wait and mail it when we hit the states otherwise it wouldn't pass the censors" September 1943. One of the letters he was writing from October 19 to November 29 1943 adding information several times before he could send it. "Well here we are off to the race again. This time as flagship. We are now taking a convoy down to Curacao again….We have seven DE's in our division….Guess by look of things we'll take them up to Ireland after we leave Curacao. Got a bottle of Tabu perfume for Lill the last time down there. Going to get her Chanel #5 this trip. Going out tonight to look for silk stockings. Nothing is rationed here". He describes how he had several ribs broken and after having them taped goes ashore: "Well uniform for liberty is white so must get cleaned up and go ashore. I hobble around like a woman with a tough corset. Ha Ha."; "Everybody to the dance last night…Met a Scotch sailor who just came back from Russia. I swapped a Dutch gulden for a Russian ruble. I've got more money in foreign currency than I have of my own"; But white uniform dances hunting and souvenirs are soon replaced by severe storms in the North Atlantic watching for submarines and preparations for a possible gas attack: "Had a Radar contact. Enemy plane on the horizon. Shortly after that we intercepted on enemy message from a sub which was shadowing the convoy. They were waiting for us to take out after them then blow hell out of these ships"; "Been stormy ever since we left. Lost one man overboard from one of the DE's last night. Guess he got smart and went out on the weather deck. Seems every trip we lose a man from one of the ships by being washed overboard or else they bury him at sea" Dec 1943. In his letter of September 1944 describes their stay in North Africa Oran and Bizerte and his encounters with local population. At one place he says: "Seems awful long this four year hitch. Guess I'll be lost when I get home". The latest letter was written in 1945. The archive also includes several family photos with names on the backside photos of USS Rodman a printed text describing a day on the state pier authored by J. McGregor probably another sailor and mentioning Frank and January 1946 issue of Our Navy journal with an article about USS Rodman and a handwritten note: "One of my older ships".

‎FRANK BEARD JR‎

‎1877 HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DIARY OF A 14 YEAR OLD NEW YORK BOY AND DEDICATED ERUDITE AND ROMANTIC DIARIST‎

‎HALLS CORNERS NEW YORK NY. Good. 1877. On offer is a super look at the life and times of a teenage boy in 1877 Ontario County New York. This 6" x 3" diary for the year 1877 is written by Frank Beard Jr. of Halls Corners Ontario County New York. Frank turns 15 during the writing of the diary and lives with his mother father and younger brother Charlie on a farm. Uniquely for a boy Frank is a tireless erudite and somewhat romantic diarist and he faithfully has an entry for every day from Jan 1st when he bids "good bye to the Centennial Year until June 17th. Many of the remaining pages are filled with figures for purchases and work performed and lists of the names of "witnesses". Frank wrote of his daily activities work on the farm his school trips to the surrounding towns - Geneva Penn Yan Canandaigua - where he and his parents sell produce etc. He makes meticulous notes on what was paid for the produce and what he spent on clothing food etc on these trips. Both he and his brother perform chores 7 days a week as well as plowing seeding milking tapping trees and making syrup etc. He travels to Halls Corners to the Post Office for his copy of "The Youth's Companion" which he reads diligently. He also writes and very sadly sometimes of his neighbors and of the horrible toll of small pox taking their lives as well as of his own vaccination. He notes one family losing 6 members to smallpox. He mentions Hayes becoming President. Although his grammar is not the best he appears to have been an intelligent and hard-working young man. A few of his entries: Jan 1- "Good bye to the Centennial Year. The new year has come. The centennial year has gone and the new century begins. I feel a little better today. There has been 6 died with the small pox. Jan 3 - "I have had a very sore arm from vaccinating. It is getting better now. Staid home all day. I done the chores this morning. Pa and I drawed the buggy in the barn. There is another one of the B.girls died of the small pox. There is 5 in that family died". Mar 4 - " I staid at home most all day. We done the chores this morning. It froze up today. It is quite cold. This is the 4 of March the day they inaugurated the President - Grant is no longer President. George Rolf is very sick. Several names of neighbors and relatives are mentioned throughout. The leather cover of the diary is damaged but the inside pages are in good condition. It takes some getting used to Frank's poor hyphenating and some misspelled words but his writing is legible. This is a very interesting look at rural life in the 1800's.

These diaries belonged to Frank S. Cummings who lived most of his life in California. Cummings was born July 24th 1894. The 1910 and 1911 diaries were written when he was in high school - ages 16 and 17. It is full of the day-to-day experiences of a high school-aged boy: "School again. Aud. Call in 5th period. Prof Galey talks to boys. But tickets at . Finish riding 300 miles on my bicycle" Apr 28 1910; "Lecture on Liquid Air in Aud. the 4th period. After lesson walk to and hunt for music book. Cannot find it. Finish studying early. June 13 1910; "Rain. Aud call 4th period. Man talks on Lincoln. Excused for rest of the day. . No lesson." Feb 13 1911; "Spring vacation this week. Work on wheel. Take bath. Leave 3:00 for Mrs. Bierlich's. Home early. Go to Ms. Aston's after supper. Home 10:35." Apr 10 1911. While there are references to his mother and aunts and uncles there is no reference to his father or to siblings. He graduates in 1912 and enrolls in the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken NJ. Stevens is one of the oldest technological universities in the United States and was the first college in America solely dedicated to mechanical engineering and the diary for 1916 covers some his experiences there as a student. "Computation exercise in Elect. Labs. Study some with Boards 4:15 home go to show "Mary Page" Apr 6 1916; "Commencement 10:30 Go over early. Assemble in "P Lab" . go up to Castle stay there all afternoon ." Jun 6 1916. For some entries context suggests that while in College he enrolled in the U.S. armed forces reserves specifically the U.S. Naval Reserve Force: "Lecture by General Wood on 'Preparedness' 12:00 - 1:00. 2:03 home. Go down town. Concert at Women's Club East Orange. Met . Home 12:00." Feb 16 1916; "Lecture by Capt. Steward 5th Infantry on Organization of the Army ." Feb 23 1916. In Sept 1916 he returned to Stevens to both study as well as to teach as an instructor in the Electrical Department. In 1918 it is clear that he has enlisted in the U.S. Naval Reserve Force and has been commissioned an Ensign. Entries on what are obviously pages from a military note book indicate that he was engaged in recruiting activities: "FROM: F.S.C. Ensign USNRF TO: Lieutenant Com. F.L. Pryor SUBJECT: Report 1. The enrollment in the naval sections of the S.A.T.C. at both the Univ of Calif and Stanford was less than that desired Instead of a unit of 500 at U of C there were only about 350 enrolled on Oct 4; of these only about 100 were engineers instead of 300. At Stanford out of a desired unit of 100 engineers there were enrolled about 85 of which about 50 were engineers. ." Oct 8 1918; "Got promotion to Lieutenant j.g. ." Jan. 16 1919. On Apr 19th 1919 he received orders to report to the USS DeKalb in Newport News. USS DeKalb was a converted German navy commerce raider that had been interned by US Customs for overstaying her time in a neutral port. When the United States entered the war she was seized and turned over to the US Navy. On Apr 28th he sailed with her to France where she picked up troops to return home from the war. They returned to the United States on May 23rd. He was released from active service May 26th 1919. He immediately returned to California and began to look for work. He was successful and began working July 9th at the rate of 40¢ / hour. His diaries for the following years detail his work at various firms in the electro-mechanical field. There are many references to social activities and people he shares time with. Most diaries contain extensive lists of expenses and in the war years additional notes of his recruiting efforts. Although there is no other biographical information on Cummings the diaries paint a very good picture of his life over this 19 year period. Indeed a social historian would see they could serve as a wider picture of daily life in these early years of the 20th century. An economic researcher or an economist would appreciate the wealth of detail in his extensive records of daily expenses on a wide range of items over this near-two decade period of time; Manuscript; 24mo - over 5" - 5¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF; UNITED STATES; CALIFORNIA; FRANK S.

‎Frankfurter, Felix‎

‎Felix Frankfurter Typed Letter Signed.‎

‎Typed letter signed by Supreme Court justice Felix Frankfurter. Two pages typescript on Frankfurter’s Supreme Court letterhead the letter is dated November 14 1949 and reads in part "My dear Mrs. McAllister: If persuasiveness conveyed by an old and very cherished friend could enable me to hurdle the obstacles that bar my presence at the 50th Anniversary Dinner of the National Consumers League Molly Dawson's letter would have done it long ago. Please take my word for it that there are very few occasions which could possibly be so tempting as the League's Anniversary Dinner and few occasions which would have comparable drawing power to evoke utterance from me. The things that matter in this world are the things that are rooted in time and my ties to the Consumers League are pretty close to forty years old. More than that some of my most intimate friendships are related to it and all the glow and stimulus that binds people together who have shared in after all what were not important battles. Mostly I should like to come in order to let the present generation know something of the dedicated and courageous labors of John Graham Brooks and Mrs. Florence Kelley. I am not unmindful of so many other great soldiers in the common fight but Mrs. Kelley stands forth as a shining indomitable fighter who never wearied of well-doing when the going was toughest. Very sincerely yours Felix Frankfurter." The recipient Mrs. Thomas McAllister was the wife of Thomas F. McAllister who served as a justice on the Michigan Supreme Court from 1938 to 1941 prior to his appointment as a judge to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit by Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Here Frankfurter is declining her invitation to address the fiftieth anniversary of the National Consumers’ League which was chartered in 1899 by social reformers Jane Addams and Josephine Lowell and directed by Florence Kelley. Under Kelley's direction the League's early focus was to oppose the harsh unregulated working conditions many Americans were forced to endure. In near fine condition. Austrian-American lawyer professor and jurist Felix Frankfurter served on the Supreme Court from 1939 to 1962 and was a noted advocate of judicial restraint in the judgments of the Court. In the late 1930s Frankfurter became close friends with President Franklin Delano Roosevelt who appointed him to fill the Supreme Court vacancy caused by the death of Benjamin Cardozo. The nomination was met with opposition due to Frankfurter's close relationship with the President and affiliation with special interest groups. The controversy permanently changed the process which had been followed for 150 years being the first time that a nominee for the Supreme Court appeared in person before the Judiciary Committee. unknown‎

‎Frankfurter Felix‎

‎Felix Frankfurter Typed Letter Signed.‎

‎Rare typed letter signed by Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter. One page typescript on Frankfurter's Supreme Court letterhead the letter is dated February 1 1941 and reads 'Dear Judge McAllister: I appreciate the charm of your letter even though you response is out of all proportion to the accurate prose on my part which stimulated you to write. I hope the eventuality comes off but if it doesn't it is a source of comfort to me that you have the wisdom of not having your heart set on these things. Nothing seems to me more foolish in this world than to have the heart set on a particular job - it is bad for the heart. With cordial regards to your wife and yourself Very sincerely yours "Felix Frankfurter."' The recipient Thomas F.
