1854réf. List2974New York City 1854. Single one-page letter measuring 8 x 12 ½ inches. Folded with one small tear; near fine. A letter from “C. Riddle” with the New York City Inspector’s Department to “Sant. Mairs Esq” concerning the best way to push through their choice of appointee for the Collector of the Port of New York. Riddle writes: “I write this to inform you that there has been six or seven appointments made in the Custom House within the last few days. You know what the old man told us the other day when you were here. This looks to me as if there was some humbug going on. Now my dear sir in my opinion the certain way to secure Mr. Van Derlip’s appointment is for you to write to Washington and secure the influence of Dayton or Miller or someone of your Congressmen to see the Secretary of the Treasury and let them use their influence with him. It is said here by the knowing ones that all the appointments are made at Washington now if this be so this is the only way to fix the Collector. . A little effort on your part in this way will I think fix the matter.” Given that Riddle mentions the Custom House the “Collector” position the two are trying to fix is likely Collector of the Port of New York. This position which oversaw the collection of import duties and fines was extremely lucrative: it paid a percentage of money collected at what was then the busiest port in the US and the Collector’s office was also able to hand out federal jobs. The Collector was appointed by the President who at the time was Franklin Pierce; the Secretary of the Treasury whom Riddle is suggesting Mairs influence was James Guthrie. Guthrie pushed reforms on customs collectors including requiring much more frequent reports from them. If Collector of the Port was the position in question the pair were unsuccessful; State Senator Heman J. Redfield was the Pierce-appointed Collector from 1853 to 1857 and no one named Van Derlip ever held the position. An intriguing example of an attempt at political maneuvering. Of interest to scholars of New York City politics. unknown

1938réf. 0001753NEW YORK CITY NEW YORK. Fair. 1938. On offer is an original 1938 - 1939 manuscript relic of pre World War II policing by three US Customs and Duty officers named Barlow Day and Hagner. The entries list seizures they made the date the name of the ship which pier the items seized and the value of these items. Historians and researchers of such work will be amazed at the breadth of the seized items beyond the assumed liquor tobacco and weapons. The notes detail such sundry items pyjamas perfume sandals table cloths lotion wallets shell boxes cameras tea jewellery coins and more. Included within the pages of the journal are several newspaper clippings. Four of them were obits for a man by the name of Sgt. John E. Day who died during WWII. He was the brother of custom's agent Edward F. Day. There are also a few articles about a narcotics bust mostly opium showing a woman by the name of Madeline Mayling as the suspect. In part: "June 9th 1939. United States Customs agents were set last night to crack down on a huge Broadway drug syndicate as a result of the arrest of a woman head of a gown shop and the seizure of more than $15000 worth of crude gum opium and morphine base on her person. The woman under arrest is Madeline Mayling 38 who operated the Helene Modes Inc. on the 6th floor of the Gayety Gaiety Theatre Building 1547 Broadway She was captured as she walked off the Italian liner Vulcania last Friday night with 12 1/2 pound slabs of opium under her girdle. "I thought it was imported Roquefort or limburger cheese" she insisted. She is held in default of $25000 bail charged with smuggling. An alleged accomplice whose name is withheld also is under arrest .Other narcotics were found at her home and at her place of business a Broadway dress shop .In her apartment a fully loaded automatic pistol was also found " Another article notes that a woman was hiding four pounds of pure heroin in the soles of her shoes; several pairs. The handwritten entry in the journal that shows where they arrested Madeline but she was going under the alias name of "Helen Hoffman" as the newspaper article states. There is also a small typed piece of paper which is titled "Enforcement Division Notes." This piece talks about Guard E. F. Day who was "strolling" on board the S. S. Pacific which was docked in Brooklyn at the time. He decided to search the seamen's wash room and found a bottle that ordinarily contained pickles when actually it was "Preserved Marijuana." It was concealed under the iron floor of the wash room. This is really a fascinating 37 pages of intimate details of the unique service these officers performed. There are about 40 different ships mentioned including: the Normandie California Virginia Ile de France New York Champlain Rotterdam Berlin Queen Mary Breman and many more. Some of the piers are; Constable Hook in Bayonne New Jersey Claremont Terminal in New Jersey New Briton Boat Landing in Staten Island Pier 18 North River Brooklyn piers and more. Finally in the back of this journal is two page handwritten entry about a Grand Jury session concerning the seizure of opium on board the ship SS Menclaus. Seems they found opium in the bottom of a bucket hidden under some clothing and belonging to Lee Foo Yung. The diary it's in poor shape with the cover detached but present and the cover is also torn at the spine in places. There are a few torn out pages but the diary itself has over 100 pages of which 37 have entries. Binding still looks good and there is a bit of foxing around the edges of the pages. The journal measures about 4 ¾" x 6 ¾".
