Tallahassee FL: Original Letter 1979. Ephemera. Single Sheet. Near Fine. 8 1/2 X 11 Inches. Rare TLS Typed Letter Signed from Pulitzer Prize winning author Michael Shaara. Letter on author's personal "Tallahassee" stationery. Shaara was a lifetime writer but consistently struggled with the page. and publishers apparently.

Interestingly Shaara also wrote the book "For the Love of the Game" later published and adapted to the Kevin Costner film of the same name. The Killer Angels was Shaara's Pulitzer Prize winner and is most certainly the book he is remembered for. <br /> <br /> In part "Please excuse me for taking so long to answer your letter. First I was out of the country and then when I go back I was sick for a while - one problem was drugs overdose after a motorcycle accident." Boldly signed at the conclusion in blue ink. A very candid conversational letter in classic Shaara style. Original Letter unknown

Washington DC: Original Letter 1932. Original Letter. Single Sheet. Near Fine. 8 X 10 1/2 Inches. November 23 1932 Typed Letter Signed TLS from US Senator Cordell Hull to "Skull and Bones" member Diplomat and Wall Street Banker Samuel Reading Bertron. Bertron was a noted Presidential advisor of several administrations. This letter is of particular interest as Tennessee Senator Cordell Hull expresses without disguise his view of America and the trouble her citizens are in. In the third year of the great depression that lastest more than a decade Hull writes:<br /> <br /> "Many large groups of American people are in a frightful condition. They are not able to pay one half of their taxes for the past year. They are in in a most ugly state of mind. Without going into details I shall hope to see you and talk out with you some of the more important and pressing phases which are uppermost in our minds."<br /> <br /> On Official United States Senate stationery. Fold-marks. A very nice remnant that clearly exhibits the concern the future Secretary of State has for his country during the height of the Great Depression. Original Letter unknown

(BAYLIES, Cornelius, 1839-? -- Penmanship)
Presented to C. Baylies By the Class of 1874 and 1874 December 25th
Exquisite hand-lettered penmanship example 6¼" X 7" made by an unknown penman or penmen as a Christmas keepsake for the founder of Baylies' Business College of Dubuque Iowa -- said one writer "One of the best and most thorough Business Colleges in the West." Baylies served with the Kansas militia in the Civil War and moved to Dubuque in 1862 joining his cousin's business Baylies Commercial College -- founded 1859 and the oldest school of its kind in Iowa. Before long he became a partner and in 1863 it was renamed the Baylies Commercial School; as sole owner he operated it until 1909; in 1876 he detoured and joined a group of prominent Dubuque citizens who established the Bell Gold Mining Company to mine gold in Plumas City California. The title quoted above is the complete text with "Presented to C. Baylies" in large ornate italic hand and thethree lines below "By the Class of / 1874 and 1875 / December 25th" in a smaller simpler hand and surrounded by elaborate decorative flourishes. A fine example of the type of decorative handwriting normally taught at business schools in the 19th century. unknown

(DECLARATION OF INTENTION / ALLEN, Leo E, 1898-1973)
Partly-Printed Document Signed
This long-term Republican representative from U.S. Grant's adoptive hometown of Galena Illinois served this district in Northwestern Illinois for fourteen terms 1933-61. Partly-printed DS 1p 8½" X 11" Jo Daviess County IL 1926 October 15. Very good. Faint age toning. "Declaration of Intention" document issued by the U.S. Department of Labor Naturalization Service for one Andrew Boeckl a 24-year-old marble worker from Bavaria Germany who had arrived in New York in 1924. Most interesting is the printed text noting that "It is my bona fide intention to renounce forever all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince potentate state or sovereignty and particularly to The German Reich" these last three words inked in -- but better yet is the following printed text: "I am not an anarchist; I am not a polygamist nor a believer in the practice of polygamy." Entirely filled out in Allen's attractive hand in black ink and at lower right as clerk of the circuit court he signs boldly. A delightful provocative period piece reminiscent of the oaths of allegiance signed by Confederate soldiers at the close of the Civil War. The Third Reich and anarchy statements are classic 1920s with fascism encroaching upon Europe and anarchists such as Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman capturing the headlines. The polygamy content seems a bit less obvious no waves of anti-polygamy sentiment sweeping the country but simply represents a typical post-World War One reaction against extremism of any sort. unknown

(DRIESCH, Hans Adolf, 1867-1941). DRIESCH, Margarete Relfferschneidt (?-ca 1946)
Photograph Signed / Calling Card
Wife of the influential German philosopher/scientist whose pioneering research on embryology resulted in his philosophy of entelechy -- the science and philosophy of the organism. PS 4" X 6" n.p. n.y. Very good. Sepia tone head-and-shoulders formal portrait of an older Mrs. Driesch set within an oval. She signs large and bold "Margarete Driesch" in black ink on a darkish area below her portrait making for contrast that is decent but not outstanding. Unusual. Also present is her printed calling card "Frau Margarete Driesch / Geb. Reifferscheidt" heavy stock 4¼" X 1 3/4". Near fine. On the bottom margin she pens her address "Leipzig" and "Zollnerstr. 1" and on the verso she pens the address of the recipient of this photograph "To Prof. T.H. Morgan / 117. Street No. 409 / New York City" in brown ink. Thomas Hunt Morgan 1866-1945 was an influential American embryologist geneticist and biologist who won the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1933; in 1905 he and Driesch corresponded about embryology issues which is likely around the time this photograph was sent. An interesting pair. unknown

This flag and crew patch were flown aboard the Space Shuttle "Columbia" STS-1 / April 12-14 1981 / Presented to / Adlai Stevenson / In recognition of the significant contributions you made to the success of this mission
Original space-flown flag 5½" X 4¼" and cloth patch 4¼" X 4 3/4" presented on a 12 3/4" X 16 3/4" cream colored heavy stock in turn mounted to a 16" X 20" pale blue mat board. Very good. Bit of slight soiling. The cream colored stock bears glossy photographs on the upper left takeoff and lower right landing corners. At lower left is a circular flute-edged NASA gold foil seal and the space-flown flag is mounted at upper right -- consisting of the State Seal of Illinois with the word "ILLINOIS" below against a white background. The printed text cited above appears immediately below this flag and the crew patch below this text. JOHN YOUNG 1930-2018 signs boldly in black ink to the left of the patch while ROBERT L. CRIPPEN born 1937 signs to the right. The Columbia STS-1 flight was called by NASA "The boldest test flight in history." It was the first orbital flight of the Space Shuttle program lasting 54½ hours and orbiting the Earth 37 times; commanded by John Young and piloted by Robert Crippen it was the first to use solid-fuel rockets in a U.S. manned launch. These rare relics were presented to Illinois' then-senator ADLAI E. STEVENSON III 1930-2021 who was instrumental in guiding U.S. space policy. unknown

(Friedrich Wilhelm) Georg Prinz von Preußen, General und Schriftsteller (1826-1902).
Eigenh. Brief mit U. O. O. u. D., [ca. 1877].
3½ SS. 8vo. An einen nicht namentlich genannten Theaterdirektor in Bezug auf eine mögliche Aufführung der Tragödie "Phädra" (1877): "Unwohlsein hat mich leider verhindert Euer Hochwohlgeboren bis jetzt meinen aufrichtigen Dank auszusprechen. Es macht mich sehr glücklich, dass sich meiner Phaidra so erfreuliche Aussichten eröffnen. Alles was mir Herr von Waldberg über Ihre Bühnen mitgetheilt hat konnte meine Freude nur erhöhen. Es handelte sich nun nur noch darum die Einwilligung Lauberts zu erhalten, denn ohne Musik ist die Aufführung der Phädra unmöglich. Die Bacchantenscene wäre ohne Musik undenkbar [...]". - Neben einer weitgehend zeremoniellen militärischen Laufbahn studierte der musisch begabte Prinz in Bonn und verkehrte in literarischen Kreisen. In den 1870er und 1880er Jahren veröffentlichte er unter den Pseudonymen Georg Conrad und Günther von Freiberg zahlreiche Dichtungen und Theaterstücke. Daneben protegierte er kulturelle Einrichtungen und legte eine umfassende Bibliothek an, die er der Universität Bonn vermachte. - Leicht gebräunt. Verso mit Vermerk von anderer Hand "Vom ollen Dichter-Prinzen Georg von Preussen". Aus der Autographensammlung von Eduard Fischer von Röslerstamm mit dessen eh. beschriebenem Archivzettel.

(GALENA, Illinois) McDANIEL, Mary (?-?)
Autograph Letter Signed
Early resident of this important Illinois lead-mining town which for a time produced a high percentage of the world's lead "Galena" is Latin for lead and was supposed to become the great hub of the Midwest before Chicago's natural geographic advantage supplanted it; today's Galena is remembered as the adopted hometown of Ulysses S. Grant. ALS 2pp single leaf 5" X 8" Galena IL 1857 January 1. Addressed to Miss Marcia Floyd of Courville Maine. Writing on pale pink lined stationery McDaniel pens her friend this chatty missive. She describes Illinois: "Well it is a large and fertile state abounding in vast prairies the principle production is wheat maize etc. There are numerous salt springs." Of Galena she notes: "The inhabitants in the vicinity are chiefly farmers and are intelligent and enterprising. Most of them live in log houses. I am attending school at present and like it here very much." Oddly she signs off "Peter Fling / Mary McDaniel." The significance of this pseudonym we have not been able to ascertain -- perhaps "Peter Fling" was a character in popular young women's literature of the day. Even more odd is the original envelope which is present. A typical small 4 3/4" X 2½" in addition to addressing it McDaniel draws a three-cent stamp in the upper right corner and draws a circular "Galena Ill Jan. 1" postal cancellation in the upper left corner! The 1850s was the early days of actual government-issue postage stamps of course but this humorous version surely was contained within another larger second envelope. No "McDaniels" appear in the Galena city directories of this period though with a large and somewhat transient population in a rural area this isn't terribly meaningful. This superb and evocative letter has been handsomely framed the letter in one mat opening and the envelope in another above it double matted in tan and dark brown and framed in a 1¼" burlwood frame overall dimensions 10¼" X 18". It's double sided as well so may be flipped over to read the letter's second page where an attractive typescript of the entire letter is also displayed in a mat opening. Very early and very unusual. unknown

(Literary autographs) J Middleton Murry
1944 typed letter to a college student at Cambridge declining to speak to the Cambridge Literary Club
Very Good. Dated Novemberr 23 1944 on Peace News letterhead Murry writes: Dear Miss Cope I am sorry but in these days it is a physical impossibility for me to make a journey to Cambridge without an inordinate expenditure of time. In more spacious days with plenty of petrol it was comparatively easy for me to pick up a train at Thetford which is 10 miles away. I can't do it now. That makes it an immensely round-about journey for which at the moment I have neither the time nor energy. Yours sincerely J. Middleton Murray. . Very good some light wrinkling and creasing. Both this letter and T. S. Eliot's which we have cataloged recently both employ not just the 'Oxford two spaces' after periods but seem to add a third space. We suggest this to be the subject of someone's dissertation: 'The Development of the "Oxford Three-Space" Among English Literary Personages of the 1930s and 1940s.'. unknown

(MONTANA -- Mine Claim) SMITH, Alonzo (1832-1912)
Autograph Letter Signed
Montana resident possibly an attorney. ALS 2pp separate leaves 8½" X 11" Harlem MT 1904 July 21. Addressed to "My dear James & Albert" Smith's brothers. Near fine. Handsomely penned in black ink in a large readable hand this letter largely concerns the claims on "poor Writ's property" for "some of his old time prospect loving friend got around me and did not want Writs mining claims sold that he had held onto for 20 years as they would go for little or nothing. So I paid out on them $500.00 & told the administrator not to sell them. They have to be represented again within a few months it will take between $300 & $400.00 dollars Will you help me represent them If you cannot or do not want to will you let me have your interests On account of your being in Canada & so far away If you will let me have your interests I will send you $25.00 apiece. Should I ever be luckly sic to get any thing out of them I will send you something more." Goes on to explain "the claims are so high up in the mountains and the snow comes there so early the claims must be represented early or else they will be lost. The claims that Writ had in Thunder Mountain have gone by default they were so far away I could do nothing about them." Of some town named Bellevue in Montana he notes "Bellevue is a gone down place very dull there." Invites his brothers to visit: "I'd like to have you both come out and see this country some time do not put it off too long it would be a fine trip for you." Interesting mine settlement content. unknown

(NEW ENGLAND / EDUCATION)
Autograph Manuscript unsigned
AM unsigned 19pp recto and verso 4 3/4" X 7 3/4" n.p. n.y. ca. 1870s. Very good. Bit of faint age toning and old folds neither strong nor weakened. Quite attractive and frustratingly cryptic unsigned Autograph Manuscript two-punched at top and string-tied with original pink ribbon. Fascinating firsthand recollections of the writer's early education in a New England country school house apparently penned for some kind of commemoration. All told a dense meaty manuscript that must be read in its entirety to be appreciated. Opens with: "It is a difficult thing to describe an old place which you have not seen for years to a company of friends who have never seen it; a ruler and a compass seem indispensable a rough sketch on paper to show its position and its various surroundings but who among us here can fail to describe most accurately and who can fail to comprehend without the aid of riveted compass and finely pencilled drawings a country school house a New England School house with its ragged walls and still raggeder urchins with its four windows with its one door with its rows of old desks long since hacked by the idlers of other days with its ink spots dropped years before with its benches all scratched over with school boy hieroglyphics and last and not least but first with that old that honorable that respected that indispensable institution to Every New England town the village 'School mom'." He then gives a few vague specifics: "In the years 1847 & 1848 there was a small white house in a village north that has since been torn down. If we were to measure off 200 feet in 27th Street on the lower side of the Street West of the Third Avenue should locate there the Old Academy where two short years we studied. Six young zebras sent from the turmoil of the city to the quiet country there by labor of mind and of body to blend beauty with intelligence alas it was a failure from lack of ingredients ." He describes their beloved "School mom" "She was a nice young lady a little above the medium height with light hair and very mild blue eyes her dress was always plain and becoming. and she was loved by us all young and old thought Miss B. was perfection and how could we help it we fresh from the Schools of Gotham." going at length into her benevolent teaching style and her mysterious personal life. He addresses the family who lived in the house Dominis the appearance of the school and its grounds the pupils' pastimes and pranks the owner of the house "an old Jesuit. always prowling round inserting his long lean crooked nose in the School house. the wealthiest & the meanest" etc. All very Dickensian very Norman Rockwell -- sentimental and charming viewed from perhaps a half century or more later. Penned in brown ink in a handsome easily legible small hand. Although some clues do crop up that may help identify this academy and perhaps the writer we have been unable to do so despite all efforts. unknown
