Envelope and letter addressed to Arthur B. Connor Esquire 9 Kewstoke Road Weston-Super-Mare'.The letter reads:' July 9 1922. My dear Arthur We have often wondered about you & your wife and Eleanor that magic name. It is quite a long time since we had the pleasure of meeting at the Grand Hotel. I hope Mrs. Arthur Connor's courageous venture has been a great success - it must be a charming school. I am writing to ask you to accept a copy of my book of poems just out. Sonnets from Tuscany and Other Poems by Lucia. You knew of its existence in M.S. The 'polishing' of the sonnets the correcting of the proofs & attending to every detail of the binding always wrong at first indeed over and over again - all this gave me untold work. Then of course our illnesses the long posts delayed the publication. But here it is! You will see that I have divided the sonnets into four sections. The first contains sonnets purely 'Tuscan'. I know you will be glad to hear I have had some quite good reviews in Lit: Supplement Scotsman Aberdeen Journal Oxford Chronicle Nation - One band one! In the Saturday. This critic had evidently not read the poems - except in half lines - and fills up his holes with abuse. Friends have been very kind generous in their criticism and I have one from a well known poet critic of which I am very proud! I know how you will rejoice with me when I tell you that Lily is at last better stronger. For so many months after her operation she was little better - Now I trust she will go on gaining health. We have not heard of your Mother for so long I hope she is well and stronger And Elise I think Fannie saw her not long since & said she was 'prettier than ever'. Fannie leaves . for Dorset tomorrow. We wanted her so much to come to us from Mentoue instead of returning to England - When are you your wife coming out to Florence Are you painting a great deal now It must feel so wonderful to paint portraits. With many kindest remembrances from us both - and please give our love to your wife. Yours very sincerely M. E. Hunting'.Arthur Bentley Connor was a British painter.A selection of charming poems some of which are a beautiful ode to Tuscany.Written by M. E.

réf. MD13Two Quarto letters ca. 11 x 8.5 in. 2 & 2 pp. Brown ink on beige wove paper with the printed letterhead of the “Office of Geo T. Conaway Town Recorder and Superintendent of Water Works.” Fold marks but overall very good letters written in a legible hand. Interesting collection of two original autograph letters by an early resident of Canon City Colorado talking about a dramatic train wreckage in Colorado Springs the lure of high wages and a recent job offer from cowboys. The author W. S. Osburn ca. 1866– arrived in Cañon City in the autumn of 1890 staying with his uncle Geo T. Conaway ca. 1846–1898 who served as town recorder superintendent of Water Works and an employee of the Ajax mines. In 1891 Osburn married Nellie Brenton and later moved to Victor where he became a successful merchant. In February 1901 his wife died in a dramatic runaway accident at the age of 33. The following month Osburn accidentally killed a friend’s four-year-old son when a gun he was handling discharged. In the letters addressed to his brother George T. Osburn the author recounts his arrival in Cañon City and shares a detailed eye-witness account of a train wreckage which destroyed a car and severely damaged a freight engine. He enthusiastically reports on the high wages in the area and carefully compares earnings for workers in Leadville Pueblo and Cañon City. He also shares an exciting offer to work as a cook for a group of cowboys weighing the opportunity while expressing his eagerness to begin working. The rest of the letter includes vivid impressions of the region’s mountain scenery and a mention of his Aunt Addie L. Conaway who would later become a successful businesswoman and boarding house owner in Colorado. Overall historically interesting collection of two original letters from a job hunter in Canon City describing his dramatic journey to Colorado Springs the appeal of high wages and a job offer from cowboys. Text of the first letter: “Dear brother I have arrived here safe and sound in the city of Canon last thursday after noon half past three o'clock. I went Uncle George's office and was in there quite a while before he came in and when he came in I said helo Uncle George and began to laugh. but he did not know me for quite a while he studied a good while be fore he could place me well George I wrote to you a bout having a reck on the road coming out here I will explain it a little better now. when we pulled in Colorado Springs thursday morning the train stoped there 20 minets for breakfas and while out train was stopping there a freight train came around the curve like double geared hell and runed in the rear end of our train and knocked hell out of our train busted one car all to peaces and busted the engin all to hell on the freight cars. it did not kill any body but bruised several up very badly. I happen to be standing on the steps when it happen just as it strucked I saw it I jumped about ten feet.Uncle George Salary is $100 hundred dollars per month write soon address: W. S.
