In light purple ink MacCarthy writes out his poem "Youth and Age" which begins: "To give the blossom and the fruit / The soft warm air that wraps them round / Oh! think how long the toilsome rot / Must live and labour 'neath the ground." Second full stanza also neatly penned followed by his full signature and address below which he notes "Written out for Mrs. Alice L. Williams Chicago." A charming example. paperback

This American actor playwright and songwriter was the toast of the New York stage starting with "A Row at the Lyceum" in 1851 also touring England Europe and even the Middle East to great acclaim often performing the dialect routines so popular at that time; in 1870 in York Florence and a noted physician named Walter Fleming founded the Shriners the masonic service organization. Incredibly unusual PS 5" X 4�" Philadelphia PA n.y. ca. 1875 March 16. Good plus. Lightly soiled with couple of edge chips along the top. Custom-printed envelope of the popular actor featuring his head-and-shoulders portrait printed in blue filling the leftmost third of the envelope. Below this he signs boldly and also addresses the envelope to B.E. Woolf of the Saturday Gazette in Boston. Stamped and bearing partial circular postal inkstamp at upper right. Editor Woolf was also a critic musician composer and playwright and in 1875 his play "The Mighty Dollar" featuring Florence in the lead premiered. Along the top on the verso Florence pens: "We play in Hartford / New Haven / Providence / Next week. / F." Given Florence and Woolf's relationship it's likely he was reporting on the touring schedule for "The Mighty Dollar" or another Woolf play. Extremely interesting and attractive item. unknown
This popular and prolific American novelist often penned such inspirational fiction for young adults as "The Singular Miss Smith" "Transfiguration of Miss Philura" and "The Resurrection of Miss Cynthia." Two items: First an ALS 1p 6" X 7" Staten Island New York Kingsley Avenue no less! 1923 February 27. Addressed to Albert Johannsen 1871-1962 a University of Chicago geology professor who authored "The House of Beadle and Adams and Its Dime and Nickel Novels" University of Oklahoma Press 1950 the definitive reference work and bibliography on the subject. Fine. Charming note trying to oblige an admirer: "Somewhere in the attic are more respectable 'scraps' of manuscript than the enclosed; but at present I am not able to endure the winter rigors of that repository of 'literary remains.' This is a rejected beginning of the thirteenth chapter of the book I am now writing: 'The Life of Henry Fowle Durant' Founder of Wellesley College. I am sorry I saw fit to crumple it before dropping it into the waste basket." Second the aforementioned Autograph Manuscript Signed 1p 8�" X 11" n.p. n.y. Very good. Despite Kingsley's claim of having crumpled it this thin onionskin-type paper bears almost no evidence of having been so abused. Handsomely and closed penned in black fountain pen and bearing a number of crossouts additions and deletions this is a very full page 89 clearly marked chapter "XIII" and opens: "In her singularly lucid and beautiful 'Interpretation of the Genius of Henry Fowle Durant' Anne Eugenia Morgan writes of him thus: 'Henry Fowle Durant came to provide a transition in our human course -- a beautiful curve for a staircase that leads up up into the clearing mysteries of the bow of light the bow of higher truth luminous in our time." Most unusual to find earlier versions of published works such as this. Kingsley's "Life of Henry Fowle Durant" was published the following year in New York by Century Company. This fascinating pair is accompanied by Johannsen's original 8�" X 11" file folder bearing a printed "Collection of Albert Johannsen" label partly filled in by Johannsen. unknown
