1834ref. 436962Connecticut New York Ohio 1834. Very Good.

Modest toning and a few tiny tears three manuscript sheets are partially split at the folds including one with a neat Japanese paper tape repair about very good overall. Born in Connecticut in 1741 Moses Kimball served in the Revolutionary War as a soldier under Brigadier General Samuel McClellan 1781-82. A devout Universalist he taught navigation and civil engineering and was a prosperous land owner in Norwich Connecticut. The letter and miscellaneous writings of poetry and short sermons retained here date from the last two years of his life when he left Connecticut to live with a grandson in Norwalk Ohio. In the letter written to a friend in Connecticut Kimball describes in detail his 15-day journey undertaken in May 1835 from Poquetanuck to Norwalk: He left via sloop for Albany then traveled along the Erie Canal and completed the last leg of the trip by steamer on Lake Erie. In his verse and short sermons he lays out his strong Universalist beliefs and philosophy of life. He died happy at the age of 93 in December 1835 just a few weeks after his arrival in Norwalk. A few extracts from the letter together with a sample of his verse follows: 1. ALS. 2pp. Small quarto. Norwalk October 14th 1835. Addressed to John Harkness at Preston Connecticut: "My good friend having an opportunity to give you some account of my journey to this place I gladly embrace it. It is a beautiful country suitable for farming a rich soil . We have an academy of learning for young gentlemen with 108 scholars and another for young ladies with 98 female scholars . We left Poquetanuck the 11 day of May & arrived at my Grandson Moses Kimball's the 25 of May. We went in a sloop . to Albany there I saw great improvements . They have made an Island in the river half a mile long . forming a basin between that & the main land with draw bridges at each end. There we left the sloop and entered on board a canal boat and past on our way drawn by horses day and night. Thus we past on up to Little Falls . and so on to Fort Stanwix . there at the height of land we left the Mohawk River and past a flat level country for 60 or 70 miles without a lock. The country all low and intersected with drowned land . and all along this wet country where the land rose a little . there would be some inhabitants settled with a bridge or two over the canal . when we got to Lake Erie at Buffalo we left the canal boat and got into a steam boat the largest vessel that I ever saw . this boat that cost thirty-five thousand dollars my grandson Moses owns one-tenth part . When we came over the lake . there were seven hundred passengers in her . So you see it is no wonder she earns money . ." 2. Miscellaneous Verses and Short Sermons 1834-35: 10 octavo sheets/about 20 holograph pages including one page with pen and ink illustrations. The following is quoted from a poem written by Kimball on his ninety-third birthday "May 17 A.D. 1834": This day my years are Ninety-three The time is past & gone from me Brought into being here to stay To wait for time to pass away . And when my earthly body dies To God my spirit will arise And live with him and there remain Till Souls to bodies join again . A compelling and historically important small archive of writings that also serve as a testament to Kimball's remarkable physical health and mental acuity. unknown books

1810ref. 413795Haverhill Massachusetts 1810. Softcover. Near Fine. Partially printed letterpress documents. 154 documents p. 5 28-177 all but the first five documents are hand-numbered by Wingate. Each document is filled out in the hand of Moses Wingate in his capacity as Justice of the Peace of Haverhill. Formerly bound with sewing and glue marks along the spine otherwise the documents themselves are mostly near fine or better with a few of them exhibiting small chips or tears. Each document contains the names of the adversaries and usually the decision by default which is filled out and Signed by Moses Wingate. A few have extensive notes on the verso but most are straightforward defaults. We suspect most of the plaintiffs were businessmen or shopkeepers and most of the defendants were defaulters on small accounts. Wingate born in 1769 was a distinguished resident of Haverhill in Essex County near the New Hampshire border who lived to more than 100 dying in 1870 and who cast a vote in every presidential election from Washington to Grant. He was at various times a member of the Massachusetts State House of Representatives and Senate and Justice of the Peace of Haverhill for nearly half a century. Among the plaintiffs here represented is publisher and printer Daniel Appleton founder of the important publisher D. Appleton and Company; as well as members of the locally prominent Carlton Minot Emerson Ingersoll and Whittier families John Greenleaf Whittier was born in Haverhill in 1807; at least three different Whittiers are named here presumably relatives. An interesting historical insight into business and justice in the early days of the Republic. unknown books
