1958réf. 3732451958. Single unlined 8-1/2 x 11 inch leaf holograph text in blue ink recto and verso; old fold lines with small tear and crease to one edge; in franked autograph envelope with light toning and wear. A punchy humorous letter to Sybil Landeau while she was still an undergraduate student at Hunter College the school Audre Lorde was also attending at the time. Her friend Eugenia begins by apologizing for her "bad French" stating that since she was "on the verge of leaving New Orleans I wanted to make it really abstruse and delay comprehension until I arrived in S.F. which would make me in two places at once" After offering to contact any friends of Landeau's in San Francisco she then writes "What are your present interests aside from Opera exams and Audre Lorde" While it is unknown exactly when the friendship between between Landeau - a passionate opera fan and future lawyer - and Lorde became intimate this letter provides perhaps the first indication that Landeau's feelings toward Lorde had begun to evolve into something far more personal. Their resulting affair continued into their graduate years at Columbia University and though it ended at some point during the 1960s both women carried on working together for civil and gay rights and their friendship endured until Lorde's untimely 1992 death. An important letter in the biography of Audre Lorde sent to one of her earliest girlfriends. unknown books

Very good album with worn edges rubbing and some removed pages with very good or better photographs with some fading. A photo album compiled by Eugenia Atkinson of Ashland Oregon beginning in 1889. The photographs featured here are views of Oregon California Missouri and Hawaii and do not appear to be in chronological order. Atkinson annotates the photos and includes handwritten captions throughout the album. She begins with images of her hometown with views of Ashland Creek Falls Crater Lakes and a local mill. Atkinson captured daily life in Oregon with images of picnics by the creek interior home scenes and fashionably dressed women posed for a group photo. Atkinson and her friends and family visit Honolulu Hawaii and she includes large format photos of the hotel where they stayed landscapes and local people. Another section of images depicts a trip to Missouri with images of a farm and friends' homes. Atkinson visits the coasts of California and Oregon photographing lifeguards practicing drills the Cliff House in San Francisco Newport Beach and Victorian beachgoers lying in the sand. Other photos show interiors of well-to-do homes portraits of friends family pets and a trip to Stanford. Towards the end of the album a train crash near Ashland is seen; another photo shows an arch constructed for a visit by President Roosevelt. Eugenia was the wife of English-born businessman W.H. Atkinson. According to the National Park Service after arriving in Oregon in 1874 Atkinson became “active in the town's principal industrial and banking enterprises” owning shares in the Ashland Flour Mill and the Ashland Woolen Manufacturing Company. He was one of the founders of the Bank of Ashland and helped organize the Ashland Library. Mr. Atkinson died relatively young at the age of 50 in 1894 and Eugenia spent the next 24 years in the house they had built in Ashland now on the National Registry of Historic Places. A photo dated 1889 shows Eugenia standing in front of her house. This album follows Eugenia during her widowhood during her travels and her activities within the community. A nice collection of photographs compiled by an important Oregon woman at the turn of the century. hardcover books
