January 23 datestamp and bold "PAID / 10" handstamp. Back flap removed with a small paper repair at the upper left; otherwise very good. A wartime business letter from James B. Jones of Monticello to E. J. Vann in Madison concerning accounts connected with the estate of D. B. Bird and the collection of local debts. The first portion belongs to the ordinary legal and commercial life of Middle Florida with references to unpaid accounts estate administration and the firms of Denham & Palmer and Johnson Bird & Co. Jones then turns abruptly from bookkeeping to Confederate destiny offering an elaborate blessing. After thanking Vann for his wishes for Jones's health and spirits he writes: "May your shadow become more enlarged and may you live to see the Southern Confederacy one of the most powerful & prosperous nations of the earth . In short may you live to see her Eagle if she even has one with his wings extended with one wing in the Pacific Ocean the other at same time in the Atlantic and his tail in the Gulf of Mexico south of Cuba & at the same time drink from the waters of the Ohio." The letter captures both the routine world of wartime Florida-estate claims merchants lawyers and unpaid accounts-and one Floridian's Confederate imaginary. . unknown books

1855ref. List3682Philadelphia: Edward L. Walker 142 Chestnut St. above 6th 1855. Folio sheet music pictorial lithographed cover approximately 13.5 × 10.5 inches. Light edge wear and minor toning; very good with a strong impression of the cover illustration. An antebellum piano dance reflecting the plantation imagery that circulated widely in mid-nineteenth-century American popular music. “Cuba Plantation Dance” was composed by Chas. H. Wilson a little-documented composer whose name appears chiefly in connection with this work and issued in Philadelphia during the early 1850s by Edward L. Walker the predecessor firm to the major publishing house Lee & Walker. A copy is recorded in the Levy Collection at Johns Hopkins which dates the publication to 1855. The cover presents a stylized plantation landscape framed by tall stalks of sugar cane with a small central vignette of a dancing Black figure. The use of Cuban plantation imagery reflects contemporary American fascination with the Caribbean sugar economy and with plantation life beyond the United States. During the 1850s Cuba was one of the largest slave societies in the Atlantic world. By the midcentury the island’s sugar plantations relied on hundreds of thousands of enslaved Africans and the enslaved population of Cuba was estimated at roughly 400000 people in the 1840s–1850s working primarily in the rapidly expanding sugar industry. Although Spain formally agreed to end the Atlantic slave trade in 1820 illegal importations of enslaved Africans into Cuba continued for decades supplying labor for the island’s plantations well into the 1850s. American publishers frequently borrowed such imagery for plantation-themed dance music marketed to the parlor trade. Pieces labeled “plantation dances” or “Ethiopian dances” formed part of the broader culture of minstrel and plantation entertainment. The title page bears a dedication to “Miss Arabelle Conrad” typical of mid-century sheet music addressed to amateur pianists. Along with the aforementioned copy in the Levy collection we find copies at Michigan and Temple. Edward L. Walker, 142 Chestnut St., above 6th unknown books
