‎"LADY" and MARY‎

‎1906 ENIGMATIC HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DIARY IN TWO HANDS DETAILING PREPARATIONS FOR A WEDDING THE HONEYMOON AND THE HAPPILY EVER AFTER‎

‎STATEN ISLAND NEW YORK REIDSVILLE NORTH CAROLINA. Good. 1913. On offer is a rather intriguing 1906 manuscript diary handwritten for the most part by 'Lady' as identified by the other part time writer who is 'Mary'. Lady is a woman of means having a number of members in her household who tend to and for her. Mary seems to do most of the writing in the first few weeks of the diary and then Lady takes over. It seems Lady is to marry shortly and is all consumed with preparations. Mary writes: 'sat in library and sewed while Estelle read the papers'; 'Lady' went places'. The diary begins in Staten Island and then for the wedding and thereafter identified as 'Home' in Reidsville North Carolina. We speculate that perhaps Lady is purchasing her trousseau or closing her home. Lady writes: 'Ned and I stamped 1000 announcements; Estelle read to me Julia watered plants Louise played; saw Caruso in Pagliacci; Delmonico's for lunch; Capt. Hjortsberg visited; April 24 1906 My Wedding Day'. Lady is tremendously busy and popular having many dozens of visits appointments and workers and she is attended to by a number of doctors quite closely visiting her at all hours for the least sniffles. Many are named including: Charlie and Laura Gore Gordon Watt Dora Sharp Mrs. Davies Coxe Mrs. La Montague Mr. Schwerine Dr. Bryan Dr. Armstrong Nellie Barry 'sewing for me' Aunt Jane Bierne Fletcher the Palmist Margret and Mel Fillman Mrs. Eugene Watts Lindsey Ellington Eva Pasteur Anna Montgomery Mag Richardson Rosa Macgruder Lottie Pendleton Olga Violett. She also goes on an extended honeymoon by train traveling from North Carolina through the south to Los Angeles up through Vancouver Canada to Winnipeg Chicago and then back to North Carolina all detailed in this super diary.

‎"RUTLAND BLEIGN" (?)‎

‎1890 SUPER ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT JOURNAL OF A 3 WEEK CRUISE ON A 'MONKEY BOAT' THROUGH SOUTHERN ENGLAND'S SADLY DECLINING INLAND WATERWAYS AND CANAL SYSTEM AS RAILROADS BEGIN TO OVERTAKE BOATING‎

‎SOUTHERN ENGLAND GREAT BRITAIN. Good. 1890. On offer is a super original manuscript relic of travel through England on its inland waterways and canals as handwritten by the intrepid author "Rutland Bleign" but really unidentified as it seems a pseudonym who is travelling with his friend and illustrator the brace working to publish the as titled book: "In Tow: The Chronicle of a Cruise in a Monkey Boat." Written from August 6th through the 28th in 1890 he leaves off the year but some sleuthing concluded definitely the year as stated the manuscript which appears unpublished details the three week cruise on the historic canals of Southern England at the perfect time for historians and researchers of canal travel as in 1890 while some were in peak years of usage while others beginning to see the inevitable decline due to increased railway service. Rutland is an erudite witty raconteur in this travel account. Here are some snippets: ". after a ramble round the town I took our permit to the Canal Office to be initialled in due form and had a chat with the agent Mr. White. returning to our boat. I found a very serious gentleman with a pencil and notebook in hand. announced himself as the Canal-Boat-Inspector-for-the-Newbury-District-under-the- Local-Government-Board. he wanted to know how much women children and other livestock were onboard. if any of us were subject to hydrophobia Asiatic cholera smallpox or other little ailments of that sort. the blue books had already told me; but then as its owners the G.W.R. Great Western Railway get the traffic which it would otherwise take it seems to be merely a transference from one pocket to the other. No doubt the Railway people would close the Cut tomorrow if their powers allowed them which fortunately for us easy-going folk who infinitely prefer their water- to their iron-way is not the case." "The canal closing Sunday rule is absolutely stringent it appears and even a party of G.W.R. officials Great Western Railway who came down the canal for a weekend 'trip' were not allowed to infringe it. As the pleasure traffic begins to feel its way along these hitherto almost unknown waters this regulation will naturally become more & more irksome and will probably be relaxed eventually." ".Melksham. the sunny old Quaker town. the grand old Quaker enterprise and grit which made the place had largely disappeared but Sir Robert Fowler still is there and the methodist connextion is evidently strong." ". beyond a square orchard with some lumps in the turf. Stanley Abbey. our host insisted on our partaking in some home brewed wine vintage '86 Chateau Rhubarb Beds of subtle flavour and half inclined to be sparkling." "We begin to expect great things of 'New Swindon' and may after all have to spend more than the inevitable 'ten minutes for refreshment' which begins and ends most peoples acquaintance with the place; and which must have brought a fortune to the far seeing contractor who stipulated for that stopping clause in his lease with the Railway Company."

‎'LOU' W. SMITH‎

‎1923 EXCEPTIONAL FUNNY AND UNIQUE TYPESCRIPT DIARY OF A WITTY AND BITINGLY CLEVER WOMAN AS SHE TRAVELS FROM BROOKLYN TO HAWAII AND BACK OBSERVING THE WORLD AROUND HER IN A MATURE AND REFRESHINGLY ORIGINAL WAY‎

‎ACROSS THE U.S.A AND TO HAWAII AND BACK. Good. 1923. On offer is a fascinating typescript diary of a young woman’s named Lou W. Smith trip across the United States touring the West coast for a few days and then departing on a steamship and heading for a Hawaiian vacation. The diary consists of 24 typed pages beginning on Monday July 16 1923 “En route Baltimore & Ohio. Washington to Chicago.” and ending August 25th. A letter is also included that is very interesting and shines some light on the diary. It is written on a letterhead that says “Treasury Department Washington. Office of Chief Clerk and Superintendent.” It dates September 11 1923 and beings “Dear Pal Am enclosing a couple of snapshots which I think will interest you also a copy of my diary which you said you wanted. Please don’t take offense at anything you may read therein. It sounds sort of grouchy to me but I didn’t mean it to at all. Well I’m 29 years old today! Whew! Last milestone before the curve. I don’t like to get thirty very much. I always feel tender toward you on that day however and thankful that you brought me into the world and took such tender care of me all through my childhood and when I was sick and brought me up through it all well and sound and educated “N” everything. It took a lot out of your own life and body and I do appreciate it.” It ends “The messenger just came in with Emily Post’s book on Etiquette which I have wanted for some time-- From Francis Ryan. It costs $4. I shall now proceed to saturate myself with manners. Well- bye bye now honey. Have you settled down yet Lovingly Lou.” The author is a lovely exciting and very funny writer. There are moments of great hilarity and levity throughout the pages. She writes with a keen sense of observation and comedic wit. The diary begins “July 16 1923. Left at 7:25 P.M. after a very hot day. Francis Ryan and Violet seeing us off. We have the nicest brand new car railroad car named the ‘Mountain Queen’ done in blue plush and Circassian walnut. It is quite comfortably cool to my surprise and there seems no reason why we shouldn’t last through the night so far as the weather is concerned.” They arrive in Chicago “Had a horrible dinner at the ‘Northwestern Cafe’ then go onto Salt Lake City. They move on to Yellowstone National Park: “The Camps are great. We have one all to ourselves with wooden floor and sides and a canvas top. There is a large dining lodge decorated artistically with pine boughs and cones. Even the electric bulbs have shades of the small branches and cones. After dinner we went to the bear haunts where the food refuse is placed for them. Two large black ones rewarded for our efforts….The busboys and waitresses are college undergrads and awfully cute. The boys are called ‘packrats’ because they lug the baggage the dishwashers are ‘pearl divers’ and the bed makers ‘bedbugs’ and the waitresses ‘heavers.’” She goes on to talk about all the songs they sing at dinner and even quotes some. There is even some war talk at dinner “He and mother couldn’t seem to quite agree as to who started the war and he had the firm conviction that it was the inevitable course for one nation that is expanding to take by force from a neighboring nation that is not populating so rapidly land for the extension of the empire.” Then on to their next camp called “Lake Camp” and the next morning on to Mammoth Lake. As always the author is a talented funny writer: “Our lodge was right on the brink of a precipice overlooking the Upper Falls twice as high as Niagara and we could hear the roar of the water as it came thundering down all night long. I record this truthfully and without exaggeration as my dinner disagreed with my digestive apparatus and I spent the night trying to arbitrate the dispute….the dinner lost the argument and I lost the dinner toward morning after a hectic struggle. Next day we drove to Mammoth Camp a most wondrous drive through mountain ranges. Mother and I being tenderfeet had some qualms about there being no railing on the highway as the road was slippery from the recent rain and a skid of three feet would have catapulted us into eternity in a most precipitous fashion”; The author comments on the people she meets while traveling with her usual sardonic wit: “Whoever said ‘See America First’ didn’t count on the superlative satisfaction in travelling out here when some blatant braggart in a condescending blah blah tells you patronizingly how much this looks like Italy and you can quietly answer ‘Yes doesn’t it bring one back to Amalfi and the Bay of Salerno’ It is killing to see the crestfallen expression and hear the weak ‘Oh have you been to Italy’ Oh boy but it’s a grand and glorious feeling! A Miss Pomposity from Buffalo thought she had quite overwhelmed me with the announcement that she got the little matrix ring she was wearing in Florence and it was such fun to say ‘Did you get it at Copini’s I have a little lapis ring I picked up there last summer.’ The poor dear’s day was ruined.” The author and her mother go back to Salt Lake where they board the Denver and Rio Grande train. She falls in love with the desert: “The sunset on the desert was enchanting. There were clouds which looked like huge snowdrifts shot through with a rose and blue streak and on the other side would be the softest delft blue mottled clouds some of them with gold-lined fissures. One long white cloud resting on a mountain peak looked like a gigantic sea-serpent made of cotton-tufts. While the sun was setting on the right just ahead the full silver moon appeared on the left over the observation platform and I felt distinctly Omar Khayyamish and could readily imagine the wilderness to be ‘paradise snow’ under certain conditions and I could even eliminate the book the loaf of bread and the fermented grape juice.” The go onto to San Francisco but cannot stay long as they have to dash across the city in a taxi and catch “The Lark” which takes them to Los Angeles to board the ocean liner Calawaii. In Los Angeles they go “for an automobile ride around the city. In the residential section we saw the homes of Jack Dempsey Fatty Arbuckle and Mary Pickford before she married Doug.” they then board the ocean liner: “We left in the morning for Wilmington and sailed at noon. The ship’s orchestra 3 piece saxophone banjo drum and traps was playing and the passengers on board threw colored paper serpentines to those on the dock which served to bind the parting friends until the strain severed them…Mr. Dunbar Major Clear’s friend of Los Angeles Steamship Company came to our stateroom before the boat sailed and introduced us to the Captain and the Purser.” On the boat the author describes a number of people getting sea sick the deck games bridge party and a vaudeville performance mind reading by a woman by the name of ‘Madame Nacknack’ songs sung by a burlesque actress who was on board and more. “Friday morning our ship’s newspaper gave us news of President’s death. It was certainly shocking. It seems to give me such a detached feeling though. The states seem so far away and the news seems like that of a far country. There was to be a costume ball in the evening but no one dressed for it out of respect to the President.” The president was Warren G. Harding who died on August 2nd 1923 of pneumonia. She soon reach Hawaii: “The Hawaiian band in white uniforms was playing “Aloha Oe” and it brought a lump to the throat. “Aloha” means welcome greetings love or farewell. It is such a charming custom too to greet the loved one with garlands of flowers and place them about their necks. A sweet little Navy mother Mrs. Lovelace who happened to be attracted to me because of my voice kindly offered their car for our use and we came to ‘Fernhurst.’ the Fernhurst Inn It is a gorgeous place a huge stately white mansion sitting back from the roadway amid the most luxurious tropical growth of royal palms and countless varieties of ferns and flowers. There is a long sweep of porch across the front with large square columns above which is the long sleeping porch. A low stone wall surrounds the property….” A photograph of this is included in the diary. “August 5th We like Fernhurst more all the time. The meals are delicious served in a spacious airy dining room by cute little Japanese girls in their kimonos and straw sandals. The china is dainty and the silver monogrammed. There are so MANY Japanese here! Everywhere there are little Japanese women sandalling along some with babies strapped to their backs sometimes lying there fast asleep.” They take a ride around the island in a Pierce Arrow auto by way of Nuuanu Valley up to the Pali 2000 ft. high. Then to a pineapple plantation. They see a Mormon settlement and have lunch at the Haleiwa Hotel on the veranda. Then they take a short trip on a glass bottomed boat to see the submarine gardens then drive through a sugar mill and return back to Fernhurst. The next day they attend a luau and the author devotes quite a bit of writing describing that. “Thursday was largely spent shopping for souvenirs. Our tour of the shops took us through Japanese and Chinese quarters. The slogan of a current tobacco advertisement is similarly appropriate; ‘Your nose knows.’ Most of the Japanese women dress in native costume and many of the Chinese women wear the Chinese pantaloons and square jackets with little stand-up collars. Their hair is always a sleek shiny black coiffure with meticulous care. The Hawaiian women are universally fat.” The next day they go to a memorial for President Harding The passage about the service is about 1 ¼ pages long and is exceptionally well written. On August 11th they board the ship and head back home and while the boat is pulling away she writes: “As the boat pulled slowly out from the pier they played “Aloha Oe” and I really couldn’t keep back the tears. I had plenty of company though so I didn’t feel quite so foolish. Their greetings and farewells are most touching and it takes a strong heart to keep from being affected. Aloha Oahu! Aloha nui oe!”; “Tuesday. Who recommends sea trips anyway This is the last one I want. I’m not seasick in the ordinary sense of the word but I AM sick of the sea. I felt so well when I came aboard and ate a hearty lunch but there my trouble began….” After this little bout of sea sickness normal ocean liner activities resume. Her one page description of the masquerade party while on board is especially notable. Then it’s back to Los Angeles. They head back to Salt Lake City then Colorado Springs Cave of the Winds Manitou Cheyenne Mountain quick stop in Lincoln before arriving in Chicago on August 24th. There are about 5 full typed pages about their trip back home on board the train.” All this is should show you that this woman is an absolutely marvelous writer. There is much more than what I’ve quoted here. The diary pages are all typed and on tissue type paper that measures about 8” x 11”. The cover that once housed the pages is in rather rough shape. It does however state her name and address as “Mrs. L. W. Smith. 5 Hunterfly Place. Brooklyn NY.” All the diary pages look good and their only imperfections are a few small tears on some page edges. Not all the pages are attached to the binding. The letter to the Treasury Department is in very good condition with small discoloration on the edges.; Manuscript; 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF LOU W.

‎'UNCLE' FRED HARTFORD‎

‎1891 - 1892 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY HANDWRITTEN BY A RELATED 'GUEST' OF THE CAPTAIN IN THE ENVIABLE POSITION OF SHIP'S PURSER ON A 3 MASTED SCHOONER FROM NEW YORK TO HONG KONG AND BACK‎

‎ASEA ABOARD THE STERLING. Good. 1891. On offer is a superb though flawed original manuscript 1891 - 1892 travel diary detailing day to day life workings and aboard a 3 masted schooner sailing to the 'far side of the world' from New York City to Hong Kong and back. Inscribed in a later hand: 'Uncle Fred Hartford's Diary on Board The Sterling Capt. Geo. Goodwin 1891 - 1892 Voyage from New York to Hong Kong by Sailing Ship 196 days'. 'The Sterling' commanded by Captain George Goodwin and this extended trip to the Far East and back are told over approximately 181 intact pages numbered page 3 - 184 with several loose pages a small number of fragments a 'supplement' notebook two letters of correspondence a photo of the ship and a twentieth century envelope bearing pertinent data and provenance written by family it appears on the outside. Genealogical notes on the envelope name Uncle Fred Hartford as a relative to the Captain inasmuch each man married cousins we think! who were sisters of the grandmother to the note writer!! Flaws fuzzy familial connection and all do not change the fact that the narrative is packed with details of life under sail as the author gives a day to day account starting with the position or location weather and any and all interesting observations or occurrences. It would seem he has some knowledge of the sea and ship board life describing the sailor's handling of the backstays and other easy references to nautical nomenclature. But he also seems to delight in some new enjoyments like sitting up high in the mizzenmast. Maiden voyage or not Fred does a super job delivering a true picture of life aboard as he strives to bring the experience to life for the folks back home. They encounter some rather bad weather; discuss trading coconuts with natives in an almost hilarious scene to the natives at least to going on a 'pick nick' in Hong Kong the narrative is unique: Uncle Fred holds the benighted position of a working 'Guest' of the Captain. He spends much time working through a cigar on deck with George discussing the folks back home to who he is actually addressing as if one long huge letter. As to his duties he appears to act as ship's purser being in charge of the 'slops chest' and having some part in negotiating with the natives. Anyone familiar with the Master and Commander series will see a like situation between Captain Aubrey and his particular friend Dr. Maturin. The paper is somewhat brittle being the reason there was some fragmentation but we cannot account for the loss of the fist three pages.
