‎Mary Hodge Winchester‎

‎1939 Trip Diary of a Scottish Immigrant to America Returning Home Via the Panama Canal for the First Time in 26 Years Experiencing Europe in the Months Just before the Second World War Would Change Everything‎

‎Glasgow Scotland. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1939. Hardcover. On offer is the diary of a Scottish immigrant to the United States following her first visit home since she left for America 26 years earlier. This diary kept by Mary Hodge Winchester 1892-1983 details her first class voyage accompanied by her 17-year-old daughter Marjorie back to Scotland to visit family left behind and discover the United Kingdom through the lens of a mature well-traveled adult. It also details her four months based in Scotland and travelling to nearby locations and a rocky journey back to America and home to Seattle. Mary was born in Lochwinnoch Scotland to parents Duddingston Hodge and Margaret Park. As a young adult in 1915 after a stop in Sydney Australia Mary moved to the USA. In January of 1916 she married fellow Scottish immigrant John Duncan Winchester 1883-1980 in Butte Montana. John was born to David Winchester and Jessie McLaren Lauder. He had arrived in New York in 1914 and initially worked as a miner. After the birth of their first child the Winchesters moved to Seattle Washington. John worked as a machinist and a driver eventually opening his own company in the “transfer and hauling” industry. Together Mary and John had two daughters Isabella Hooper 1916-1997 and Marjorie Lander 1922-2009. Ship records show that Mary and Marjorie boarded the Knusten Line’s M. S. Sophie Bakke mastered by B. Barene in Tacoma Washington on March 25 1939. The ship had originally departed from Vancouver Canada and it docked in Glasgow Scotland on May 28 1939. Mary documents their travels in a “My Trip” diary. The first page titled Itinerary is where Mary writes a one-page overview of their two-month journey to Glasgow: “Leave Seattle 2.30 P M March 26th day arrive at Lintone 2.30th arrive Portland 30-1st Arrive St Johns 2nd Leave in afternoon 2nd Oakland 3rd San Francisco — 4th May 4th in San Pedro Los Angeles 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 6 - 14 at Sea 14th June Docked at Panama at 11.45 P M 14th 8.30 AM - 15th then the Canal to the Caribbean Sea Past Broads Island off the Mexican Coast & on into the Atlantic Ocean Passing Mona Island & on to Glasgow going up the Firth of Clyde seeing many interesting Places & Land Marks on the way. Glasgow Sunday X May”Next Mary details her daily adventures both on the ship and at ports. She also references the activities of her daughter and the other passengers. She makes a few passing comments that hint at some challenges in her personal life back home such as her Mother’s Day entry: “I feel very blue the two mothers on board have been opening surprise packages & cards & I do feel let down I will feel better soon & after all I might get a letter at Panama & we had a lovely day laughing but I was still feeling a bit sick from my sunburn but Marge had a good time we had all the officers who were off duty at the party & it was quite an event for them as they are rarely treated” May 14 1939. Most of Mary’s entries are newsy and upbeat. She writes of various stops on the journey such as visits to San Francisco’s Chinatown the World’s Fair on Treasure Island Alcatraz Panama City the Panama Canal and Gatun Lake and more. Mary’s writing seamlessly incorporates historical observations descriptions of ship life and a tourist’s fascination. Some excerpts: “Marge is writing to John…here we are in Oakland…quite a sight…Alcatraz was also quite a sight and there are quite a lot of flowers on the Island and the Electric train is quite near the dock so we are going to town and the fair…we went into Oakland…went to the fair which was very interesting but a bit disappointing…came back in time for dinner bringing Myrtle and JD Kennedy with us…” April 29-30 1939. Note: the Golden Gate International Exposition was a major World's Fair on Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay. “A beautifull & warm morning the girls are all in sun suits on the Sun deck the pool is filled so swimming this afternoon Margie & Celene went swimming I took only one dip Margie stayed about an hour & had a grand time in the evening I played bridge with Miss Huntington & Mr Beard…” May 7 1939. “.We are now going through the first lock called Pedro Miguel it is all so very interesting we take a negro crew for the trip through the locks little cars pull us by cable all the way through there are guards everywhere .Marjorie just says I am sorry Betty is missing all this it cost 6000 dollars to send each ship through the locks. Our pilot for the Canal is Leut Commander Hans M. Schloming USN Reserves…” undated but around May 16 1939“.We are traveling now right through where they cut the Panama canal right throu the mountain. I would have taken pictures but they are not allowed we are traveling through gold Hill and contractors Hill there is a plaque on the side hill in memory of Major Gaillard engineer for the famous cut…we have come to the second locks…there are 4 ships ahead of us so the girls got the 1st Mate to put down the Jacobs ladder and 3 of them went swimming in the bay - or Gatun Lake rather…” undated but context puts the entry at around May 17 1939. Upon arrival in Scotland Mary and Marjorie spend time with members of both the Hodge family and the Winchester family. She names many family members and friends and also writes about the United Kingdom like a curious tourist. She is staying with her older brother Duddingston Hodge and his wife Euphemia. She spends her time back home exploring her home country and roots learning more about her family members connecting with friends and taking some exciting trips to nearby locations where her passion for history is on full display. Some excerpts give the flavour of her overseas entries: “Arrived in Glasgow last night about 7 P. M…Dudd Pheimie Isa and Margt met us we had a long slow sail up the Clyde & it was very interesting. We saw so many war ships in construction & saw the Queen Elizabeth just finished…” May 29 1939. Note: The family members who met them are likely her older brother Duddington Hodge his wife Euphemia Ann Kennedy and Isabella and Margaret two of their five children. “.Went on for a long walk to see where Mrs. McLean a relation of her mother-in-law lived. I will try to go see her” June 11 1939. Mary and Marjorie did trips outside of Scotland including visits to London and Edinburgh: “.We went to Madam Tausards it is all very wonderfull then on to St Pauls to see the whispering gallery as the guide talked we could hear him on the wall on the other side then…up to the stone gallery some 375 steps 340 feet high…we wrote our names on the second landing…” June 23 1939. On a visit to Edinburgh Castle Mary wrote many pages about what she learned. She was absolutely fascinated by the history. A brief excerpt: “.We also saw Mary Queen of Scots chair it is 400 years old andthe only one in existence and her portrait at the age of 45 and is the original.we saw right beside the Castle from Mary’s window a row of houses that was bombed during the last war 1917 they think it was ment for the Castle and it just missed it…”. Most of Mary and Marjorie’s time is spent is Scotland. “It was nice & warm but we didn’t find Mothers grave. D hadn’t gone since we left Scotland 26 years ago I felt awful about it I did think he was different” July 17 1939 Glasgow“.So miserable Phemie rubbed me and put plaster on still coughing stayed in bed all day Kate called” July 19 1939. The women depart Glasgow on August 19: “Had my hair done and went over town then packed and got ready to leave we were at the dock by 9: 30. Dudd Jessie Phemie and Donald came on board we sailed about 2AM” Aug 18 1939. The voyage home is documented less thoroughly as Mary was extremely seasick for much of it but she still writes regularly. “Feeling a little better but have to stay in bed had a visit from Mrs. McDonald Mrs. Davis Mrs. Humes feeling very sick the Dr. Says I am sea sick being so weak it's horrible and very painful” Aug 22 1939. After docking in New Jersey on August 27th they had a few whirlwind adventures before taking the train home. Excerpts: “Here we are in NJ…. Went dancing in eve with Alex had a fine time at childs…Got letter from D. J and Flo…Saw Wizard of Oz with Judy G. And Mickey R. In person…” Aug 27 1939. They also went to the World’s Fair Radio City Music Hall shopping and visiting friends before getting on a train on August 30th due west. The final entry: “Arrived home by 830 met by Dad Isabell and Everet and home spent the day unpacking very tired. Retired early writing. ‘Twas a grand trip Mary & Marge Winchester” Sept 2 1939. As well as tracking their trip in daily diary format Mary made use of the Travel Diary’s formal format and listed side trips such as Oakland San Francisco Port Glasgow Edinburgh and New York. She summarizes her experiences briefly there though most are written up in elaborate detail within her main entries. She also fills out the People Met section listing many new friends and a few addresses. Examples: “Jessie is Mrs. Binns…. Mr. And Mrs. Wood Oklahoma Mr. Crawford at Trossauds…” And in the Incidents section she records: “Baby chimp at zoo church announcement and christening Eastern Star…”Tipped into the diary is a single photo of three people dressed in military uniform. On the back it is noted that the people are “Soldier Duddington ATS Margaret Sailor Stewart” and the photos stamped Aug 1942. Taken together this diary is a terrific summary of the experience of a European-American journeying home and realizing all she left behind for her new life in America while simultaneously seeing her home region in a new light as an adult with an astute eye to its history. Family conflict is alluded to though never explicitly discussed and the experience of the young Marjorie an American-born daughter of immigrants is also alluded to. Approximately 90 pages of handwriting. Diary was originally written in pencil but it is evident that someone has traced it in pen. Unknown as to whether that was Mary herself. The diary is in very good condition. ; Manuscripts; 32mo 4" - 5" tall; Hand Written Personal Memoir Handwritten hand written autograph autographs signed letters document documents manuscript manuscripts writers writer author holograph personal Americana Travel Steamship Ocean Travel Pre - World War Two World War II Scotland Great Britain Wizard of Oz Mickey Rooney New York World's Fair Exposition ; Signed by Autograph . hardcover‎

‎Israeli Reporters‎

‎1952 Archive of Early State of Israel Reporting: Economic Reconstruction Labor Zionism and the Cuban-Latin American Network‎

‎Israel United States Cuba Havana. Good with no dust jacket. 1952. Non-Book. On offer is a remarkable trio of mid-century periodicals documenting how the newly established State of Israel introduced itself to Jewish communities across the Americas—and particularly to those in Havana—during its formative years. Issued in 1952 by the Labor Israel Information Bureau and the Jewish Agency for Palestine’s Latin American Department in New York these publications form a unified archive of early-state political communication charting the shift from revolutionary nation-building to disciplined institutional governance. The first publication is Fun der Arbet / Histadrut Neyes Labor Israel Information Bureau New York September 1952 is a six-page Yiddish bulletin reporting directly from the Israeli labor front. It describes the country’s transformation from settlement to infrastructure praising the rapid industrial growth of Beersheba and Ramla: “Lives now through a period of feverish development… Beersheba is now in the very center of the country and serves as a gateway to the country of the future. ” The bulletin also details nationwide housing projects: “The two societies together of Shikun and Noah Oved have built apartments for 100000 people. ” Its tone merges socialist idealism with pragmatic state-building appealing to trade-union readers in the United States to sustain the Histadrut’s economic and ideological mission. The issue remains fragile but intact showing a pronounced horizontal fold from long-term storage that has nearly separated the paper at midline without interrupting text. Complementing the Yiddish bulletin are two consecutive Spanish-language newsletters Noticias de Israel Nos. 112 and 113 Jewish Agency for Palestine Latin American Department New York June 27 and July 11 1952. Printed for the Agency’s hemispheric Spanish-speaking network—including Havana’s Zionist circles—they convey the young state’s official voice in Latin America. The first announces Israel’s monetary reform gold-registration law and civil-service cuts amid nationwide austerity while reporting on disturbances in Tunisia and the government’s appeal for diaspora fundraising. The second chronicles a reshuffled cabinet under Levi Eshkol and Dov Joseph the progress of the German reparations talks and near-completion of immigrant absorption: “700000 immigrants absorbed since 1948; only 40000 still in tents. ” Each bulletin situates Israel within a web of global and Latin-American diplomacy noting Moshe Sharett’s tour of the United States and Moshe A. Tov’s mission to Mexico that established formal relations between the two countries. Read together the three pieces trace the young nation’s effort to project coherence stability and self-reliance across linguistic and continental lines. They reveal the coordinated communication channels Yiddish for the labor left Spanish for the Latin-American diaspora that sustained Israel’s ideological and financial lifeline during its first decade. For Cuban readers who received these bulletins through the Jewish Agency’s New York hub they provided not only information but a framework of belonging linking Havana’s youth women’s and cultural associations to Israel’s struggles with austerity immigration and defense. The archive captures a crucial intersection of Cuban print culture Cold-War internationalism and diaspora identity. Consecutive issues of Noticias de Israel paired with a same-year Yiddish Histadrut Neyes bulletin embody the linguistic and ideological duality that characterized mid-century Jewish life in Havana—simultaneously socialist diasporic and globally connected. It documents how the island’s Jewish institutions operated within the transnational circuits of information and solidarity that defined Cuba’s cosmopolitan civic sphere in the 1950s. Condition & Language: Three periodicals totaling approximately twenty-six pages. Texts in Yiddish and Spanish with translations prepared via digital tools for reference. All three pieces exhibit expected age toning and surface wear from long-term storage. The Yiddish Labor Israel Information Bureau circular shows a pronounced horizontal fold line across the lower quarter small edge tears and mild creasing throughout. The two Noticias de Israel bulletins retain strong print clarity despite scattered handling marks corner folds and light staining from age. Paper is slightly brittle at margins but remains stable. Overall all text is complete fully legible and well-preserved for mid-century ephemeral publications. G to VG with typical wear consistent with archival storage and circulation. ; Manuscripts; 8vo 8" - 9" tall . unknown‎
