1848Best.-Nr. 164591848. Howard Virtue. Report on Female Teaching 1848 an early address concerning women's qualifications employment opportunities and professional standing as teachers in nineteenth-century America. Delivered before the Oxford Teachers' Association in Maine on May 17 1848 the report examines the qualifications and usefulness of female teachers the privileges associated with their employment and the intellectual and financial benefits of teaching for women. Published during the expansion of female employment in American public education Howard's address records contemporary arguments supporting women's participation in a profession increasingly open to them. Howard Virtue. Report on Female Teaching. Paris Maine: G. Washington Millett 1848. 15 pages. Delivered before the Oxford Teachers' Association May 17 1848. The report discusses the qualifications and usefulness of women as educators alongside the professional opportunities and personal benefits associated with teaching. Howard addresses teaching as an occupation offering women opportunities for intellectual development and financial independence while considering the advantages of employing female instructors. The address was presented before a regional teachers' association placing these questions within organized discussions of educational practice and professional qualifications in antebellum Maine. During the first half of the nineteenth century the expansion of common schools and the development of teacher-training institutions increased women's participation in American education. Although women had long worked as instructors teaching became an increasingly accessible form of paid employment particularly in New England where educational reformers promoted female teachers while school districts frequently paid them less than their male counterparts. Howard's 1848 address belongs to this period of professional change when women's suitability for classroom instruction and their opportunities for independent employment were subjects of public discussion. Published the same year as the Seneca Falls Convention the report provides a contemporary account of arguments concerning women's intellectual abilities professional qualifications and economic opportunities in education.

1779Best.-Nr. 009850Philadelphia to Carlisle Pennsylvania 1779. Unbound. Very good. This two-page letter datelined Philad'a 15th Feb'y 1779 was sent by Colonel Ephraim Blaine the Commissary-General for the Middle District of the Continental Army to Colonel John Davis the Deputy Quartermaster General for Army's Western District who was located at Carlisle Pennsylvania. In it he apprises Davis of his difficulties in raising funds and obtaining supplies. He also provides a summarized status of the leaders of the Quartermaster Corps. "Nothing material has passed since your departure from this city. Genl. Green left it the Second Morning after you. I convey'd him and Colonel Wadsworth fifteen miles the morning he set out had some little conversation with him about the Western department but nothing of consequence transpired. Colo. Steel has had his trial and reports here that he is honorably acquitted - shou'd that be the case he will undoubtedly continue in office have not had it in my power to procure the money from Colo. Pettit though have call'd upon him sundry times but this morning he has given me assurance of it about the latter end of this week as soon as it comes to my hand shall forward it to you - Extortion and want of Virtue has taken almost possession of Every Person upon this Continent the Enormous sums of Public money which is daily expended and the great depreciation of it will if not shortly put stop two end in our ruin." . At the time of this letter General Nathanael Greene one of the army's most talented leaders who is most famous for campaign against the British in Georgia and the Carolinas was serving as the Army's Quartermaster General. Colonel Archibald Steel was the Deputy Quartermaster General for the Western District. When District Commanding General's Lachlan McIntosh ill-advised expedition to drive the British from Detroit failed McIntosh attempted to lay the blame on Steel charging him with "neglect of duty" incapacity delaying the transport of supplies ignoring his public duty for private concerns embezzling repeated disobedience and contempt of orders and insulting the commanding officers." Steel was unanimously acquitted at his court-martial and MacIntosh was reassigned by General Washington. See General Orders 21 April 1779 Head-Quarters Middle-Brook and Letter to George Washington from John Jay 22 February 1779 both online at the National Archives. Colonel Pettit was the Deputy Quartermaster General in charge of keeping all of the corps' financial accounts.
