GREELEY Horace 1811 72
Autograph Letter Signed
Probably the most famous 19th century American journalist he of "Go West young man" immortality founded and edited "The New Yorker" 1834-41 then the reknowned "New York Tribune" 1841 whose popularity gained its editor's oft-expressed views wide influence; ran as Democratic presidential candidate in 1872 but was soundly defeated by incumbent U.S. Grant. Slightly damaged ALS 2pp 5" X 8" n.p. 1871 November 20. Very good. Addressed to Ralph Meecker. Slight mounting trace along top edge of second page where the right margin is also closely cropped affecting the "ley" in Greeley. An unusual defacement consists of two small side by side "windows" the leftmost measuring 1�" X �" the rightmost �" X �" neatly excised near the top of the first page just above "Dear Ralph." While censorship in letters normally consists of the removal of the recipient's name or signer's name this defacement appears just below the "New-York Tribune" letterhead the larger whole to the left of "Nov. 20" where some writers indicate the city from whence they write and the smaller to the right of the same phrase where the letter's year would have appeared. Above this latter whole "1871" has been added in another hand then crossed out. Four or so words on the verso are affected by this. All this suggests that for some reason the defacer didn't want anyone reading the letter to know where or when it was written -- odd since the letter is not controversial in content but rather written to a gardener or landscaper! Reads in part: "About my planting if I could have a bushel of Hickory Nuts a bush of best nuts and a bushel of White oak Acorns planted on my lot. I would also plant White Pine and Black Locust seed if I could get it to. show vitality. I prefer these kinds; but I would also set out another send young Sugar Maples. if I could get them at a decent price. I would plant some young Hickory and young White Oaks if not too dear." Discusses order and scheduling these. Accompanied by a superb contemporary 5�" X 8�" steel engraved portrait. Despite strange damage an interesting fairly attractive letter. unknown

WHITMAN Bert 1908 90
Signed Postal Cover
This California editorial cartoonist for the "Stockton Record" also created the short-lived comic strip "Debbie Dean" which was censored and ceased in 1944 for using the word "dope " in one installment. Signed Postal cover 6�" X 3�" cancelled at Five Points California on 22 January 1979. Fine. Single 10-cent "It All Depends on Zip Code" stamp and 6-cent "Cherokee Strip" stamp at upper right. An enterprising collector filled the entire leftmost 3/4ths of this cover with an actual daily editorial cartoon 4�" X 3�" titled "Things to Come" and quite intentionally chose the place of cancellation "Five Points" as in 5-digit postal code and the 10-cent zip code stamp. Late in 1978 the post office announced the addition of four digits to the existing 5-digit zip codes. In this cartoon a bald-headed man Whitman himself holds up an envelope bearing a miniscule recipient's name/address and a HUGE two line zip code running from one end of the envelope to the other. The stamp on this envelope cost "$5" and the cancellation reads "U.S.A. 1999." In the small blank portion of the cover at lower right Whitman signs boldly in black fineline. Whitman's prediction for the future of mail delivery didn't come true of course. Highly unusual piece. Small portion of original transmittal envelope also present. unknown

I was well paid for it -- in fact thought by size of check that I was the 'winner'!! This is not a late criticism of the final stamp! But a cold fact. The final stamp is too well drawn!! Carretas were 'homemade' and painfully made. I have seen remains at our local Spanish Missions. And of course I know it had to be drawn sharply for stamp reproduction. The word 'CRUDE' exactly fits a carreta. Excuse writing I am 94� years old. My folks came to Cal. from Indiana in 1890." With original envelope.
