HERBERT W LEECH, Manager Mining Operations
1919 ARCHIVE OF TWO 2 ORIGINAL HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT NOTEBOOK AND DIARY OF ARCTIC EXPLORATION AND MARBLE MINING IN THE FAR NORTH OF NORWAY WITH THE THREAT OF BOLSHEVISM LOOMING BY THE MANAGER FOR THE NORTHERN EXPLORATION COMPANY
SPITZBERGEN GREEN HARBOUR NORWAY. Very Good. 1919. Manuscript. On offer is an exceptional archive of two 2 significant historical handwritten note book and diary of Herbert W. Leech Manager of the Marble Dept of The Northern Exploration Company NEC in 1919. It is very interesting reading of the troubles this operation had as the books entirely describe through letters notations and diary entries all the work and grief his operations suffered. Herbert Leech the Manager reports in the letter copies to his superior Mr. W. Holmboe in Tromso from the MINA I Spitzbergen Recherche Bay or Green and King's Harbors. It appears right from the start that Leech was in a sad way as he reports of the ship being unsatisfactory breakdowns continual delays everywhere and always problems with the staff or contractors carpenters especially it seems and he complained of near open mutiny with staff some calling in sick for no reason others barely maintaining a guise as it appears this summer venture was ill-advised or doomed for other reasons. He writes the details of his needs and progress during the expedition including the never ending problems with the ship and his men as well as requests for supplies and spare parts for the engine etc. There are letters telling of the men refusing to work after disagreements over contracts and the continued intoxication of the steward. There are some details of their geological discoveries and the conditions they had to endure. There is a list of expenses incurred on the journey to Tromso Norway and other expense lists including wages of the men etc. The daily diary kept for approximately 3 months of the expedition during July to September in 1919 include details of the mineral deposits they had found in each area with estimated mining output and estimates of the cost of plant and buildings required to open a mine. The area they are surveying is around Spitsbergen including Green Harbour and Kings Bay. There are also geographical geological and technical notes throughout too. The NEC the famous explorer Shackleton was a large shareowner and involved in operations was a British firm firmly established in Norway's Northern and Arctic mining and exploration activities. These books are placed in a very important time as WWI had just ended and the rise of Bolshevism are pertinent as part of the historical backdrop. This is an entirely unique grouping and intimate glimpse into early 20th century arctic exploration and a rare look into their lives as historic explorers. The script is mainly in pencil and reasonably clear to read. HISTORICAL CITINGS: A: Shackleton now became involved in an undercover enterprise. A company the Northern Exploration Company was preparing an expedition to Spitsbergen. Shackleton was asked to be the leader. Ostensibly the company was going to mine mineral claims owned since 1910 by the company. Since 1910 the Germans had a meteorological station at Ebeltofthaven in West Spitsbergen which was only withdrawn at the start of the war. Spitsbergen was a delicate issue as it was administered by Norway a neutral country. With the backing of the British Government the Northern Exploration Company could establish a British presence on the islands. To prove it's commitment the government provided the expedition with an armed merchant ship the ELLA. Frank Wild now commissioned as a temporary lieutenant in northern Russia was selected by Shackleton as his assistant. By the middle of August Shackleton was in northern Norway at Tromsø on his way to Spitsbergen; it was the first time he had crossed the Arctic Circle. It was in Tromsø that Shackleton suddenly became ill. He "changed colour very badly" as McIlroy put it. He suspected a heart attack. Shackleton refused to undress so McIlroy could listen to his heart. This was the first hint that Shackleton might be suffering from heart disease. Shackleton had to turn back arriving in London in early September. Meanwhile the leadership of the expedition was placed under Frank Wild. The northern Russia campaign said General Ironside "was a side show of the Great War". Soldiers could hardly be spared from the front lines so troops were scraped from the bottom of the barrel to be sent to Russia. At this point no one was going to worry about the condition of Shackleton's heart. Early in October Shackleton sailed for Murmansk. As Shackleton wrote it was a "job after my own heart.winter sledging with a fight at the end". As he crossed the Barents Sea he wrote to Janet Stancomb-Wills "All is sheer beauty and keen delight. The very first.snow-squalls bring home to us the memories of our old South Lands. There is a freshness in the air a briskness in the breeze that renews one's youth". "This day 3 years ago the 'Endurance' was crushed in the ice" Shackleton wrote to his younger son Edward on October 26 "and we all were.sleeping on rather moving about on the moving ice with no home to go to. I have been to many places since then now it is the other end of the world". Shackleton had just landed at Murmansk. A fortnight later on November 11 the Armistice was signed. The war with Germany was over. However war in northern Russia was not yet at an end; the Allied forces were now fighting the Bolsheviks instead. The north Russia force had attracted various polar explorers: Macklin Worsley and Hussey from the ENDURANCE EXPEDITION; Stenhouse from the AURORA branch of the Trans-Antarctic Expedition; Victor Campbell the leader of Scott's Northern Party; Dr. Edward Atkinson from the Scott camp and Dr. Eric Marshall from the NIMROD EXPEDITION. Shackleton's official job description was "Staff officer in charge of Arctic equipment". In all actuality he was a glorified storekeeper. He had done most of his work in London and the outfits he now provided were doubtful; his own expeditions had been struggles against poorly designed equipment and clothing. The American troops in the region discarded the Shackleton clothing and boots and reverted to their own. Shackleton was now kept at headquarters in Murmansk with little to do. Shackleton wrote to Emily "I have not been too fit lately. I am tired darling a bit and just want a little rest away from the world and you". The strain of a divided self was showing itself in Shackleton. "I am strictly on the water wagon now" he wrote to Emily at the end of January 1919. He got thoroughly drunk on Christmas Day and in his own words "after a thought I have cut it right out it does me no good and I can tell my imagination is vivid enough without alcohol it makes me extravagant in ideas and I lose balance.I did not upset my superiors everyone was awash only it seems to take different people different ways. If I had not some strength of will I would make a first class drunkard". Shackletons' affairs were in a poor state; money was in short supply. Emily was fending for herself while Cecily was at Roedean and Ray the eldest boy was at Harrow. Shackleton hoped to cover the school fees from selling shares of his stock in the Northern Exploration Company but the transaction never happened. By the end of March 1919 Shackleton was back in London and demobilized after five months in the field. He was regarded well enough by The Times that an interview was requested. In that interview Shackleton stated that nearly half a million people "threw in their lot with us.against the Bolshevist menace. It is thus not merely a question of saving our own troops but a moral obligation to civilization.No domestic or political consideration should be allowed to interfere with steps being taken immediately to prevent anything in the nature of a reverse to our arms in these regions.In Murmansk as elsewhere the peasant is not a Bolshevist.but without armed support he is helpless.do not let us be too late.the British people do not yet realize what Bolshevism means.it is.becoming far worse than German militarism". CITING B The Northern Exploration Company NEC which annexed large expanses of land in Svalbard is engraved into Svalbard history. NEC's land annexations were concentrated where the most profitable mineral deposits were thought to be found. The company was founded in 1910 and was most active in the years around World War I. The background for the activity was the numerous occupations carried out by Ernest Mansfield in Svalbard prior to 1910. NEC bought his land occupations in 1911 and started the construction of Ny-London and the promising marble quarry at Blomstrandhalvøya in Kongsfjorden. NEC owned and operated many mines and prospects in Svalbard most of which were to exploit coal. Other mineral deposits were also prospected such as zinc asbestos iron and marble. Optimism prevailed despite frequent loss of capital in prospects that never materialized. They were big landowners but produced close to nothing. This was the era of Neo-Industrialism and in Svalbard there was a Klondike-like atmosphere in which everyone was affected by the fervour for mineral deposits. Investment capital was readily accessible. The optimism and vitality of the NEC has left many cultural remains. The NEC annexation signs can be found in all the areas they were active with text in three languages to make sure everyone understood this was NEC's land. Transporting equipment to Svalbard was long trying and expensive and the work seasons were short and hectic. The value of the buildings and equipment itself was often less than the cost of disassembly and transport back to the mainland. Installations were therefore often left on site and can today be seen as a witness to dreams for quick profit in enterprises that were discontinued after only a few years of trial operations To summarize: An historic first hand primary account and telling of the 1919 Summer season for the Northern Exploration Company through the manager's diary and letters including: 1 a book of letter-copy letters to head office some suppliers with tucked in notes receipts 60 pages; then 2 a book of financial dealings 30 pages and lastly and most importantly his diary 65 pages. This is a 7 x 5 inch flip style notebook and has some scattered technical geographic technical notes.

As the cover states: the book is the "Journal of Herbert Wing Jr American School Athens Greece November 15 1913." This notebook contains approx 100 pages of notes and observations from Wing mostly related to his classes at the American School which focused on Greek history and archaeology. Wing would go on to a celebrated career in Greek Studies. BIO NOTES: Herbert Wing Jr. was born on December 8 1889 in Minneapolis Minnesota but was reared in New Bedford Massachusetts. He graduated from Harvard University in 1901 and furthered his education at the University of Wisconsin where he received his Ph. D. in 1915. He began teaching at the Wilmington High School in Wilmington Massachusetts in 1909 as an Assistant Principal. Wing taught at the University of Wisconsin from 1910-1912 and from 1914-1915 as a Student Assistant in European History. He was an Associate Professor of European History at the University of Michigan's 1917 summer session. Wing came to Dickinson College in 1915 as an Associate Professor of Greek Language and Literature. In 1920 he became full Professor of Greek Language and Literature. While at Dickinson College Wing taught many courses in German Greek Latin and all types of History courses. Every freshman from 1916-1946 was required to take Wing's Ancient History course. He was the Chairman of the Greek Department and the Chairman of the History Department since 1937. In 1948 Wing was the first incumbent of the Robert Coleman Chair of History. Wing retired in 1960 with Professor Emeritus rank. In addition to teaching Wing was a successful debate coach.

Wing also was the faculty member in charge of the bookstore at Dickinson College. He ran the bookstore for over twenty-seven years. Wing held the position of secretary of the faculty from 1940-1946. Many referred to Wing as "Mr. 3 by 5" because of his insistence for students to take notes on assigned readings on three by five inch index cards. Wing married Helen Leonard Gilman in1916 and had one son who graduated from Dickinson College. A letter from President Corson shows the college's appreciation for Wing's involvement at Dickinson.

HERBERT, A P [ Sir Alan Patrick ] (1890-1971; Humorous poet & novelist ):
Unusual to say the least autograph poem signed with initials. Undated. Two-pages folio 8 verses each of 4-lines. Fold marks a few slight edge chips.
The first leaf is headed "The Professor's Rebuke" against the layman's use of an uncouth 4-letter word for a part of the female anatomy: "The portions of a woman that appeal to Man's depravity / Are fashioned with considerable care / And what at first appears to be a simple little cavity / Is really an elaborate affair / And Doctors who have troubled to examine the phenomena / In various experimental dames / Have made a list of all the things in feminine abdomena / And given them delightful Latin names / etc. etc. another verse / Why is it then that when we common people chatter / Of the mystery to which I have refered / We use of such a delicate and complicated matter / Such a very short and unattractive word". The second leaf is headed "The Layman's Defence of his Vocabulary" the verse commencing: The Erudite and Others who have studied the geography / Of that obscure but interesting land / Are able to indulge a taste for topography / And view the scenic details close at hand / But the ordinary person though aware of the existence / Of complexities beneath that pleasant knoll / Are normally contented to survey them from a distance / And to treat them roughly speaking as a whole / etc.etc. - another 2 verses ". unknown

HERMAN MULLER, MABEL MULLER, NORMAN STIENHARDT MULLER
1916 - 1924 SUPER ORIGINAL ARCHIVE OF GERMAN AND ENGLISH LETTERS BETWEEN BERLIN AND NEW YORK RELATIVES AND FRIENDS OF ALBERT EINSTEIN
BERLIN GERMANY BROOKLYN NEW YORK. Good. 1916. On offer is a simply fascinating archive of 1916 -1924 manuscript letters journals and related ephemera of a German-Jewish family with extended family in America. The family included Herman Muller the father Mabel the mother and their son Norman plus others that are mentioned include are Uncle Sammy and Grossmama. The family was split between Berlin Germany and Brooklyn New York and Switzerland laater. The group has approximately 90 separate letters equally divided between English and German. There are also letters from a Julius Nickelsburg a family friend. There are another largish group of separate items from school journals to identity papers from Germany included. With the backdrop of World War I and the inherent knowledge of current day readers that World War II is over a not too distant horizon makes for some gripping reading. Add to this that the family is connected to Professor Albert Einstein anecdotally we have learned that Mabel Muller was an administrative assistant to Einstein but we cannot confirm this and he is mentioned at least 3 times that a casual read has noted. The references also seem quite intimate Einstein sent them a letter of condolence regarding the death of Herman we believe in 1927 is mentioned in a letter leading credence to the aforementioned association. We suspect that the German side of the correspondence may hold some more Einstein mentions. Here are some snippets from the three letters mentioning Einstein: Feb .17th 1927; From Mabel Muller on the death of her husband Herman she mentions going to Temple and receiving 150 letters of condolence many from Doctors in Germany in this 3 page letter there is an entry on the second page "Prof. Einstein Letter". For Einstein to have sent a letter of condolence he must have known the family. Yet another letter from Norman's Grandmother mentions Einstein's visit to New York. Writing to Norman Muller in Germany; April 8th 1921 'We are surprised it will take so long for your examination we were in hopes that it would be sooner Prof Einstein and wife are here now I cannot explain to you what a big fuss and lots of attentions the Americans are giving him big big honors big receptions by the city and big dinners by the rich people over here. Many times Sammy and Alice are invited also and he does look so peculiar but the people do not care for that because he is so highly educated. We are in hopes now soon to have peace with Germany which I think will be soon.' Then: Berlin Wed Sept 27th 1922 'It is very nice of Mrs. Wallach to send those papers some time you must write a letter of thanks also should note yesterday I met Prof Einstein he was glad to see me I was wishing you were here.' There are seven journals from a University or college in Germany one titled Physik another titled "No Stem- Mu" in differential calculus; others journals are from a French course and yet others have more advanced calculus and Math problems one has the name of Norman Stienhardt Muller on the front the cover. Also Included are many intriguing calling cards written in German They belonged to different German Doctors for example: Dr. Paul Herzberg Dr Otto Ollendorff Dr Oscar Salomom Dr Leimforfer. Interestingly one of the calling cards mentions in pencil that the individuals were murdered in Auschwitz during the holocaust Herr und Frau Alexander Contizer.
