‎[Great Lakes Region – Maritime Trade – Women] Faragher, William; Faragher, Harriet Chamberlin‎

‎Collection of 1880s–1890s Letters between a Great Lakes Merchant Shipowner and His Wife a Teacher in Cleveland Who Was “humble enough to do most anything†to Settle their Debts‎

‎Ohio Illinois Michigan and Ontario 1909. Seventy-four letters in thirty-seven envelopes mainly dating between 1885 and 1895. With two undated and one empty envelope. Conditions vary with a few letters having damage intersecting with significant amounts of text and others Near Fine. Overall excellent. A collection of letters mainly sent between Captain William Faragher 1842–1921 and his second wife Harriet Chamberlin 1853–1920 with several from Faragher’s children from his first marriage Burton 1872–1961 and Maude 1875–1952. Most letters are from Chamberlin to Faragher with fourteen from Faragher to Chamberlin.<br /> <br /> Faragher owned and captained several merchant ships in Lake Erie and Lake St. Clair—presumably sailboats as he frequently complains of having been stuck without wind. He also describes more severe weather out on the lake writing from St. Clair Michigan:<br /> <br /> “I am anxious to get down from here but as the day advanced the wind began to frisken and it began to snow hard and as it was freezing hard it had rained then snowed and then froze hard saturday night so the poor Venture was in a sad plight but she was in a worse one when we got to where we lay run as it breezed up fresh and the wind dead ahead the water was flying over her in all directions and froze wherever it fell and besides it had turned into a blinding snow storm but we had a certain point to make . she seemed as anxious to get to a place of safety as I did and as the boys say she got there and none too soon as it has been blowing a gale ever since and snowing and freezing but we are in the lee and at a good dock and are comfortable but oh the wind is whistling through the rigging .†November 20 1887<br /> <br /> In the 1880s steamships were increasing in popularity on the Great Lakes primarily because of sailboats’ susceptibility to both calm and weather; steamboats were bulky for their capacity and slow but more reliable whereas sailboats could carry overall more cargo.1 Generally steamers took packaged goods and passengers and sailboats mainly schooners took bulk cargo. The Great Lakes were the site of much shipping innovation; Faragher’s fleet was not yet behind the times but steam would overtake sail in the 1880s and 90s.<br /> <br /> Faragher’s cargo was mainly produce—apples and grapes—though he does mention picking up salt and other materials. His letters indicate that his business involved both shipping and mercantile aspects: he chose and bought the products shipped them to their destination and then also had to find and sell to customers. The grapes in particular seem to cause a lot of trouble:<br /> <br /> “We left Lorain Sunday morning early and had a nice trip to the Island got there at 4 PM bustled around monday morning and bought 400 baskets of grapes and had them all aboard by dark . it commenced to snow just as we got to Marine City bad bad omen for grapes but imagine my chagrin when I went up town and not a store or commission house wanted a grape folks were full of grapes and there was no sale for them and they said that I had got left and if the truth were known they were glad of it but its a cold day when I get left if trying will lit me out but one thing certain the weather and the lateness of the season were against me but you know I never cross a bridge before I get to it well we hauled up to our old Island Saturday morning and I sold out to my old friend . we had sold since 11 am 190 baskets of grapes . only half our cargo and at a good margin too. People would ask are you the man that was arrested here for selling grapes when told yes they seldom failed to buy but the strangest part was the number of ladies that came to buyâ€. October 28 1887<br /> <br /> Though he does not narrate the incident in which he was arrested for grape peddling—nor does it appear to have made the paper—he later mentions yet another grape-related debacle this time at Port Huron:<br /> <br /> “Sander and I went to town to sell the grapes today . when down came a city official and wanted to know if I had a license to sell . well I couldent sell another grape without paying 5.00 a day license that was a stormer you see the whole sale men were going to drive me out of the market . but they were not as sharp as they thought they were I went and gave a bill of sale of my whole cargo to a citizen here and he appointed one of his agents to sell the grapes†September 20 1888<br /> <br /> Faragher’s letters here do not discuss the financial state of his business but given Chamberlin’s statements it cannot have been all too positive. Chamberlin’s letters depict a woman struggling with her financial circumstances and with how the era’s expectations of her gender intersected with them. In one illustrative letter she writes:<br /> <br /> “A man drove by here Sat. asking for you. Ms. Lawler has given him her note to collect. He says the interest brings it to nearly fifty dollars. I told him I thought you could not meet it just at present but he said he must have the money and would give you just one week and if it was not paid then he would let the law settle it. Marvin and Laird are his lawyers. Mr. Laird is the one who helped get my money from father’s estate. I would not have them connected in this way about you for – O a great deal!! I have thought and planned till it seems as though my brain would burst. I have inquired about that law regarding taking any more married women as teachers. If Mr. Day would work for me it might perhaps be broken. There will be a vacancy in the Detroit building this fall. Will if I possibly can I want to commence teaching in Sept. The children would have to learn to do more about the house and with both of us earning it seems as though some of these harassing debts must be settled after a time. The frequent calls of men with bills against you have taken away all my pride and I believe I am humble enough to do most anything now.†July 11 1887<br /> <br /> In 1887 Ohio passed the Married Women’s Property Act which allowed married women to keep their own property separate from their husbands’—in fact Chamberlin occasionally mentions “her†money in her correspondence. At the same time the state’s Board of Education was debating passing an act that would not only ban school districts from hiring married women as teachers but also fire all the married women it then employed. Newspaper reporting at the time indicates that this measure was not particularly popular not the least because married women tended to be older and more experienced with the job.<br /> <br /> Chamberlin clearly perceives her role as a wife in a rather more progressive way at one point writing to Faragher that “a true wife†is “not a doll-baby to be kept in finery†N.d. after he had taken out a loan to send her money for a new hat. Throughout their correspondence Chamberlin is perhaps surprisingly open with Faragher about her opinions particularly on his work and their financial affairs; for instance:<br /> <br /> “I should like to examine your pocket-book after that $25 tax money left it. What are you going to live on up there while you are hunting for freight Sawdust won’t put any fat on your bones. Sailing up and down past Saginaw bay won’t prolong your life or lessen your grey hairs. What are you sailing for anyway For the sake of wearing yourself out and giving employment to two or three men and keeping the Root from rusting out I guess I am naughty!†May 25 1894<br /> <br /> She also frequently provides her opinion on whether and at what rate Faragher should sell his two other ships besides the Root the Venture and the Sassacus. She continues in the same letter:<br /> <br /> “I know I almost had a regular fight yesterday morning right there on the lounge. I wanted to do my housework and I couldn’t. I wanted to sew and I couldn’t sit up long for that. I wanted to help you and I couldn’t. I wanted to earn money and whereas I used to earn fifty-five cents for every hour I worked now I can not earn anything. Then if I could not do for self and family I wanted to make church and S.S. calls but I couldn’t walk for that.†<br /> <br /> Of course she was at that time prevented from these activities by her health not by gendered standards but she clearly had financial ambitions for herself. After her time as a regular school teacher Chamberlin taught at a Sunday school where she earned a few cents per student and in one letter reported having eighty-one students in a single session. <br /> <br /> Chamberlin also struggles with the expectations of her as step-mother to Faragher’s two children from his first marriage to Emma Humphrey 1848–1880. She writes:<br /> <br /> “I get so discouraged sometimes and it seems as though I am in the wrong place as mother. I think of Emma as my sister. I want to do as she would have me. I look upon my work as sacred. And yet sometimes I feel as though life was not worth living.†November 5 1886<br /> <br /> She frequently describes conflict with Burt who was then in his late teens to early twenties writing that she could not “have quite the very own mother-love for him†though she is “sure that Emma was not more conscientious in her desires to do right by him than I am†May 20 1891. As it still is today the role of step-mother was a difficult and frequently demonized one with the trauma of losing a mother and wife often in conflict with the feminine duty of maintaining perfect domestic harmony. In general Chamberlin seems to have been somewhat out of step with the feminine ideal of the time even telling Faragher in a letter describing the death of an acquaintance’s baby how glad she was to not have any children of her own.<br /> <br /> Overall a look at the private lives and difficulties of a middle-class Ohio household as despite the relative prestige of its head being a captain-owner it struggled with debt. Of interest to both historians of Great Lakes trade and those of women’s roles in the late nineteenth century.<br /> <br /> 1 Dina M.

Embossed scarlet-coloured publisher’s cloth gilt lettering on spine minor chipping & rubbing to head of spine minor scuffing slight bumping to corners still a VG copy from the library of Miss Addie Hobbs Mayfield Michigan Aug. 31 1873 S.L. Macy and Eleanore Weinstock w/ ownership markings on endpapers. First edition first printing of this informative work in applied health statistics by the noted 19th-Century woman’s reformer offering a valuable guide to contemporary ideas about women’s health and sexual exploitation of women and the seeming sexual precocity of the younger generation. Beecher declaims in her introduction that “the majority of parents in this nation are systematically educating the rising generation to be feeble deformed homely sickly and miserable; as much so as if it were their express aim. . . .†In preparing this work she had asked one woman in each of 200 different communities to report on the health of 10 married women among their friends and the replies showed that the great majority were “habitual invalids†“delicate†or “diseased†with only a small number well and strong due to lack of fresh air and exercise tight-waisted garments poor diet and ignorance of bodily functions including sexuality and sexual exploitation by male physicians. As the older sister to Harriet Beecher Stowe and Henry Ward Beecher Catharine spent her career promoting education for women and urging education reforms treating women as teaching professionals including founding of the short-lived Western Female Institute in 1837. Catharine Beecher also advocated that not only should women receive rigorous instruction in child rearing home economics and domestic science but also taught history Latin rhetoric algebra logic physical education and science. Although she vigorously advocated for women’s education supported better health practices and increasing public roles she remained later in life resistant to women’s suffrage believing it would interfere with their roles in ensuring morality and security in the home.

‎ALS addressed to Mrs. Gage requesting that she write to the Japanese Consulate in Portland Oregon a recommendation letter for this history teacher to gain a spot in the second American Women High School Teacher’s Tour of Japan for the Fall 1937. As an influential local woman who was interested in expanding cultural and race relations Ms. Stevens felt she was an ideal person for writing such a letter.‎

‎Portland OR: Beatrice T. Stevens June 23 1937. Tall 8vo. 6.25 x 10.25 in. 4 pp unpaginated. ALS written entirely in blue ink cursive manuscript minor age toning some slight wear still VG from the library of Mrs. Roy S. Fern Gladys Small Gage 1893-1960 whose husband was a Lewiston Hardware merchant and later real estate developer and both were members of the Congregational Church. Fern Gage was an active organizer and member of both the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom and the Fellowship of Reconciliation. This uncommon letter reveals the intense public relations campaign nourished and sustained by the Board of Tourist Industries of the Imperial Japanese Railways between Japan and America. It also shows the intense efforts by civic-minded women in the U.S. who were teachers professors and students along with those active in the Women’s International League for Peace & Freedom such as Fern Gage. Stevens 1894-1972 explains to Mrs. Gage that she has “always had a keen yearning to go to the Orient.†She explains how she inaugurated the International Club at the Girl’s Polytechnic organized International Banquets at Commerce High Clinton High School; led a group of girls to dine on “Japanese Sukiyaki at the Tokio House on Fourth Ave. a Chinese banquet at Hung Fan Low; a Jewish Kosher meal at B’nai Brith. . . as well as a Dixie dinner prepared by the mothers of one of our Colored members at the East Side Y.W.C.A. with local Negro leaders and musicians.†Furthermore she explains that she believes these events “of dining in the atmosphere of the nationality in question impresses upon the students as I think you will agree an idea of tolerance and aids in understanding more than any amount of merely reading.†Stevens would teach at Clinton High School until her retirement and although unable to sail to Japan in the Fall of 1937 did succeed in a European trip with teachers in 1949 to post-War Europe in 1949.

‎[Japanese-Americana – Immigration - Women] Unknown Photographer‎

‎Japanese “Picture Brides†Arriving in San Francisco c. 1915‎

‎San Francisco California 1915. Single photograph measuring 6 ¼ x 9 ¼ inches. Brown Brothers stamps with manuscript caption verso with other manuscript markings. Some marginal damage; excellent. In the early 20th century in order to appease increasing anti-Japanese sentiment in California without offending the growing world power the US and Japan reached an informal agreement: the US would not restrict the activities of Japanese immigrants already in the country and Japan would stop allowing laborers to emigrate to the US. However the agreement also allowed Japanese men living in the US to bring over their families. At the time most counties on the US’s west coast where most Japanese immigrants lived were home to significantly more Japanese men than women. This led to the practice of “picture bridesâ€: arranged marriages between Japanese men in America and women back in Japan who would only see each other via photographs prior to their marriage. The men would send along some information about their lives in the States—often exaggerated or untrue—which the women’s families would use to decide on the marriage; the couple would be married without the groom present and then the bride would travel to the US where they would meet for the first time.1 Offered here is a photograph of a group of “picture brides†arriving in San Francisco around 1915. There are also several men perhaps other family members with the group.<br /> <br /> 1 Kelli Y.

‎[La Vallière (Louise de)].‎

‎Réflexions sur la Miséricorde de Dieu. Par une Dame pénitente.‎

‎Paris, Antoine Dezallier, 1680. In-16 réglé de (16)-139-(1) pp., maroquin lavallière, dos à nerfs, double filet sur les plats, tranches dorées (Capé).‎

‎Édition originale rare de ces Réflexions « généralement attribuées à Mlle de La Vallière ».En 1661, Françoise-Louise de La Baume Le Blanc, duchesse de La Vallière et de Vaujours née à Tours (1644-1710), devint la maîtresse de Louis XIV qu’elle conquit en particulier par son goût pour la musique, le chant et la danse. Bien que discrète, leur liaison provoqua la colère des dévots et des ecclésiastiques parmi lesquels Bossuet. Lorsqu’en 1667, elle fut remplacée par la nouvelle favorite, Madame de Montespan, elle quitta la cour et engagea une lente conversion intérieure qui aboutit, à la suite d'une grave maladie, à la rédaction des Réflexions sur la Miséricorde de Dieu (1672 publiées anonymement en 1680) et à son entrée au Carmel sur les conseils de Bossuet, devenu son directeur de conscience. Elle y reçut le nom de sœur Louise de la Miséricorde. Saint-Simon écrivit d’elle : « Heureux (le roi), s’il n’eût eu que des maîtresses semblables à Mlle de La Vallière ». Marque de l’imprimeur au titre et table. Très bel exemplaire.Tchemerzine, IV, p. 98 ; Brunet, III, 885 ; Rothschild, I, 1887, n° 70 (édition Dezallier de 1712) ; Willems, 1957 (édition elzévirienne 1681).‎
