‎Florida Spinner Francis E.‎

‎Autograph Letter Signed "F.E. Spinner" to Angling author George Dawson dated Jacksonville Florida Feby. 19 1876 discussing Dawson's book of "fish letters" Pleasures of Angling . 1876 recounting a fish tale and praising Florida winters‎

‎Jacksonville Florida 1876. 4 pp. pen and ink on a single folded sheet. 1 vols. 12mo. Old folds. Fine. 4 pp. pen and ink on a single folded sheet. 1 vols. 12mo. The First Florida Retiree. "Spinner a strong nationalist was an important adviser to Chase on matters such as the circulation of greenbacks which bore Spinner's distinctive hard-to-duplicate signature and the creation of a national banking system. . Needing large numbers of reliable employees not subject to military service he was the first governmental administrator to turn to women. He vigorously defended their employment against critics hired over one hundred paid them well by the standards of the time and insisted on their continued employment after the war. . When a new secretary of the treasury in 1875 assumed control over the appointment of clerks however Spinner feared that dishonest people might be hired and he would be held responsible. He resigned and moved to Jacksonville Florida where he enjoyed a vigorous outdoor life until his death in that city." ANB Francis E. Spinner 1802-1890 served as Treasurer of the United States under Presidents Lincoln Johnson and Grant. In the angling world he is notable as the recipient of letters from Oliver Gibbs published as Lake Pepin Fish-Chowder 1869. In retirement in Florida he writes to George Dawson editor of the Albany Evening Journal and a noted American angling author whose Pleasures of Angling with Rod and Reel 1876 is the first American book devoted to fly fishing. Spinner writes "I am so glad to learn that you have been persuaded to publish your fish letters in book form . when yours comes out it will be read with pleasure." He then goes on to describe fishing for trout on McGirt's Creek a tributary of the St. Johns River and catching a cat fish of 18-1/2 pounds "on one of Chapman's 'No. 4 Minnow bait' . I mention this because I cannot learn from anyone that a cat fish was ever known before to strike at artificial bait." Spinner concludes lyrically "The orange and other of the citrus family are in bloom now . Whoever at the North that can afford to and who has nothing else to do and that does not spend his winters in this Elysium is to be pitied. Do come." An excellent letter with outstanding content. unknown‎

"Roland Clark's works are among the most sought after" states Siegel in his bibliography of The Derrydale Press. Two of Clark's paintings each depicting a single bird in its appropriate landscape were issued in editions of 250 prints from 1937 through 1941; this print "Dropping In" was the exception as it shows a single goose in the foreground and a pair of geese in the middle distance as well. Echoing Siegel Ordeman notes "The Roland Clark waterfowl prints are among the most highly regarded of the works published by the Press and they certainly are the best known of the Derrydale prints." Roland Clark 1874-1957 was one of America's finest sporting artists; his etchings drypoints aquatints oils and watercolors are highly sought after as are his four books Stray Shots Gunner's Dawn Roland Clark's Etchings and Pot Luck. He studied at The Art Student's League in New York had a number of successful one-man shows and won the 1938 Federal Duck Stamp Competition. The popularity of his work has remained undiminished over the years. THE MOST DESIRABLE COPY EUGENE CONNETT'S OWN.
