‎1925 Diary of Charles L. Merrick Whose Family Farming Legacy Dates Back to 1714‎

‎Wilbraham MA. Good with no dust jacket. 1925. Hardcover. On offer is a fine diary of successful farmer Charles L. Merrick of Wilbraham Massachusetts in the early years of the twentieth century. Merrick was born in 1902 and lived his life in Massachusetts. He passed away in 1995 at the age of 93. Merrick is part of a multi-generational family that has owned Merrick Farm in Wilbraham since the original land grant in 1714. The farm business continues to this day in the hands of his grandchildren and great grandchildren. At the time the diary was written Merrick was 23 years of age. The diary tells us he had graduated from college and was a member of a fraternity most likely Theta Delta Chi. At the time of writing he was working for a company possibly family-owned that produced among other products sashes. This diary gives an excellent look at the life of a young man just beginning his career. “Very hot. Pa Dick & I went to Amherst after some business in Amherst. Saw Whitcomb Daly & Olds about the young books. Got some stuff at the house left Dick and went to . to see the Starkweathers. Thunder showers. Home about 8: 30. Took a look at the strawberry festival. Multigraphed 400 copies of Frat. Letter to Alumni” June 1. “Quite hot. To office. Some late. Finished warehouse records. At 2 went to see John Murray & Geo Cassidy about Friskdale proposition. Cassidy offers $12000 & about $1500 cash and $3000 in good 2nd mtgs. Looks ok to me” August 18. “To office. Shipped quite a lot of heavy sash. My back nearly broken” August 20. “Cloudy. Not too much stirring. Paid off mortgage of $5000 & then settled payments etc with Mr. Cassidy finishing all papers; thru with Fiskdale except $6.36 on Taxes” September 14.

Several pages have either had a portion cut out or been completely removed from the diary. The handwriting is legible. The notebook contains an extensive list of contacts and in many cases individuals’ location details. It offers an outstanding look into the early life of a man who would build on the legacy of his forefathers in central Massachusetts. It is also an excellent source of personal data for people living in this historic part of New England. ; Manuscripts; 6" x 3"; 122 pages . hardcover‎

‎1925-1926 Letters from a Globetrotter Volume 2 Written for Members of the Round-the-World Society: Real Letters with Stamps Postmarks and Cancels‎

‎Morocco Spain Monaco Italy Greece: Round-The-World Society. Very Good. 1926. Hardcover. On offer is a wonderfully preserved book of vintage stamped letters from 1925 and 1926. One of only a handful still in circulation "Letters from a Globetrotter" is a travelogue in the form of a series of subscription letters written by Elmer D. Raymond founder and president of the Round-the-World Society. This particular collection’s title page has "Volume Two" printed on it. Included in the book are close to 30 typewritten mimeographed letters over 65 real stamps with postmarks and cancels and three black and white photo plates. There is also a fold-out map of the world and a black sketch with blue background drawn by the author. Each letter in this collection is numbered with a roman numeral LIII being the first and addressed to Mrs. Geo W Acker of Port Gibson Mississippi. The return address of the letters is the Round-The-World Society in New York NY. The letters include stamps on the front some letters with one stamp and some with up to five or ten and about three pages of typed text inside. Every letter is titled eg "THE FOUR CITIES OF THE SEVEN HILLS" and includes a location at the top before the greeting of "Dear Friend: -" The contents of the letters are fascinating as Raymond uses his words to paint vivid pictures of the people culture history and current events of the places he visits. The travelogue begins en route to Fez Morocco with letter LIII. Raymond sets the scene writing "To-day we are awakened by the bells of a caravan drawing through Taza. First you think Santa Claus is paying a belated visit but soon you hear the shouts of the driver: 'Ahr zitt! Ahr zitt! ' Santa Claus wouldn’t talk Arabic to his reindeers." Raymond travels around Morocco before moving on to Monaco and into Italy. The collection ends with letter LXXIX in Greece. The leatherette two-hole binder measures 6" x 9". The screw posts used for binding are intact and the cover letters map plates and stamps within are in great condition. In this stunning artefact of travel writing Raymond captures the reader’s imagination from the opening lines of each letter. He provides a remarkable illustrated depiction of one possibly American man’s travels in North Africa and Europe in the 1920s. For a collector there is a wealth of stamps mailed to the United States from numerous fascinating locations. This is one of two volumes of "Letters from a Globetrotter" in our collection. Both are relatively unique with overlap of only twelve letters and three photograph plates. ; Letters; 8vo 6" x 9" . Round-The-World Society hardcover‎

Our Worthy Matron who was born about 1900 and was married to Henry Taylor uses a five year diary as a page-a-day book and does a super job as a diarist with less than a dozen days without entries and even a casual reader cannot fail to note that Evelyn's life revolves around the OES and her family.

‎1833 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT SHIP'S LOG OF A 155 DAY VOYAGE FROM THE PACIFIC COAST OF MEXICO TO NEW YORK CITY‎

‎SHIP MCLELLAN MAZATLAN TO NEW YORK. Good. 1833. On offer is a fascinating original 1833 logbook for the Ship McLellan later purchased in 1846 and refitted as a whaling ship from Mazatlan on the Pacific coast of Mexico to New York City. The volume is dated March 6 1833 to August 8th 1833. The 8 x 13 inch book produced specifically for the trade states: "Published and Sold by E. & G. W. Blunt 154 Water-street corner of Maiden-lane where is constantly for sale a complete assortment of the most approved Charts Nautical Books and Instruments. Nautical instruments Repaired. / June 1827". A lovely woodcut illustration of an American Clipper Ship under full sail graces the cover. While unknown the author the log has 74 pre-printed pages of charts to be filled in and all 74 pages have been used with a loose leaf tucked in at the end for August 4th through August 8th thus completing the entire journey from Mazatlan to New York. Typical of a log kept by the First Mate or Captain the log details all the technical data; daily charts contain information on positions weather currents longitude and latitude wind direction and force and the various sails used. Fairly extensive use is also made of the blank space provided to make longhand notations regarding the passage of the McLellan. The writer also uses this space to note both the daily and whole "distance run". The odd note regarding particular currents off the River Plata or meetings with other vessels and the gossip punctuate the journal. Here are some snippets: On March 6 1833 The Ship McLellan departs Mazatlan bound for New York. ".with the assistance of the Ship of War Rattlesnake crew got our anchor without difficulty. The three Marias Isles at meridian were to the northward of us from 15 to 25 miles." Distance run the first day: 100 miles. On April 7 1833: ".spoke whaling ship Amethist of Nantucket - 70 days out with 300 blls. of sperm oil - reports 80 ships in the neighborhood upon the same business but with indifferent success." On June 20 1833: ".unusual quantities of whales seen for these 2 days." and on July 4th the McLellan crosses the equator having been out for 121 days and run 11262 miles. On Thursday August 7 1833 ".at 6 took a pilot at 10 came to anchor outside the bar - at 8 a.m. wind N.W. weigh anchor and made sail - Friday at 1 p.m. having worked almost up to the narrows was taken in tow by a steam boat and came to anchor at Querantine at 4; Subjected to 48 hours Querantine". This ends the 155 day 14038 mile voyage of the McLellan." The covers are intact and are comprised of marbled paperboard. Overall VG. HISOTRICAL NOTES: one online source provides: Samuel W. Comstock started in the trading business in 1833 on the Ship McLellan with a cargo shipped by G. G . & S. Howland later Howland & Aspinwall consigned to S.W. Comstock supercargo on board "for Valparaiso and a market."

‎Bernard Eugene Meland‎

‎Early 1900s Original Scrapbook Compiled by a Young Man Who Would Become One of America’s Leading Theologians‎

‎On offer is a wonderful early-20th-century scrapbook assembled by Bernard Eugene Meland one of America's leading theologians. This scrapbook dates from Meland's early life. It includes many notes mementos and keepsakes as well as letters that he obviously felt were important to him. Many items relate to music such as news articles about the Italian operatic tenor Enrico Caruso pictures of notable music performers and programs from various musical events such as the Calumet Conservatory of Music and Dramatic Art. In one program Meland headlines as a baritone. Other pages in the scrapbook refer to Meland's service in the Students' Army Training Corps SATC. The SATC provided a reserve of more than 25000 students trained to become officers during World War I. This was necessary to officer the new army of two million that was to assist in the 1919 spring offensive during the war. Without the SATC it would have been impossible to provide an officer corps so rapidly in any other way. It also served to buffer many post-secondary institutions from the effects of the loss of so many students and the revenues they generated. Meland's scrapbook includes a complete description of the University of Illinois' Student Army Training Corps agreement as well as a list of some of his friends who served with him in the SATC. This scrapbook measures 11.25 inches by 11.25 inches. The cover is in good condition although it shows some discolouration. The pages are held together by a lace binding. While the lacing is intact and the binding secure most of the pages have pulled away from it. The pages are chipped around the edges and show discolouration as well. There are 42 scrapbook pages but there are also dozens of additional pages inserted between the leaves. These contain notes photographs letters and more. Bernard Eugene Meland was a classic liberal Christian theologian. Born in 1899 in Chicago he initially worked as a carpenter. After service in WWI he received a bachelor's degree at Park College Missouri and went on to study at the University of Illinois. Subsequently he studied at McCormick Theological Seminary in Chicago and was ordained as a Presbyterian minister. He taught at Central College in Missouri and Pomona College in California before joining the faculty of the University of Chicago. He authored a number of books and essays all of which provide insights into his theological vision. For an historian this scrapbook has value on several levels. It offers an excellent window into the early life of a man who would make significant contributions to American philosophy and thought. It also indirectly provides a close look at aspects of life on the homefront during World War I.
