He was later implicated in a bribery scheme with James Rood Doolittle Senator from Wisconsin 1857-1869. On Conatty's behalf Doolittle was to use his influence with President Lincoln to obtain cotton permits during General Banks's occupation of New Orleans; in return Doolittle would receive 25% of the profits. We haven't ascertained whether Senator Doolittle is the "Br. Doolittle" to whom this printed letter is addressed. This unusual ephemeral Civil War broadside is unrecorded.

James Reese Europe 1881–1919 was a composer and bandleader instrumental in the transition from ragtime to jazz whose popularity and influence is impossible to overstate. He conducted the Clef Club Orchestra in New York City which only played music by African-American composers and was the first Black orchestra to perform at Carnegie Hall. Europe’s Society Orchestra toured the country with dancers Vernon and Irene Castle popularizing ragtime dancing. In 1916 Europe enlisted with the 369th Infantry Regiment also known as the Harlem Hellfighters a primarily Black regiment that became one of the most highly decorated American units in World War I. Europe was a second lieutenant and led the Hellfighters Band which toured France in 1818 and is credited with bringing jazz to the continent of Europe. James Europe died in Boston in 1919 when a member of his band taking issue with Europe’s criticism stabbed him in the neck during the intermission of a concert at Mechanics Hall. Offered here is the sheet music for “Good Night Angeline” composed by James Reese Europe and his frequent collaborators Noble Sissle 1889–1975 and James Herbert “Eubie” Blake” 1887–1983. The cover features a photograph of the Hellfighters Band above a portrait of Europe. We find four other copies of “Good Night Angeline” at the Oakland Public Library the Library Company of Philadelphia the Library of Congress and the Smithsonian Museum of African American History and Culture.
