1849ref. BK0018Ferrisburgh Vermont 1849. Autograph letter signed "Anne R. M." to her husband Lloyd Minturn in San Francisco "Upper California." 8 pp.; approximately 1700 words. With stampless cover bearing a black "NEW-YORK / 40" datestamp of January 17 and manuscript routing "per Cherokee. Significant edge wear and central vertical crease; text generally clear and complete. An intimate Christmas letter from Anna Robinson Minturn of Ferrisburgh Vermont to her husband Lloyd then engaged in the hotel and real estate business at Pueblo San José during the California Gold Rush. Writing on the anniversary of his departure Anna describes the four-month-old son Lloyd had never seen questions whether California's speculative "mania" could last and repeatedly urges him to return home. Lloyd Minturn had traveled to California in January 1849 with David Lion Gardiner and other eastern emigrants. By November Gardiner reported that Minturn was "at Pueblo San Jose keeping a hotel and speculating in real estate."1 Anna's references to Lloyd's hotel and stables their rental and the uncertain recovery of his investment relate directly to his California business. He later appears in San Francisco as a member of the Committee of Vigilance of 1851 with his place of business on California Street and his residence at the Mansion House.2 Anna begins writing late on Christmas day imagining a future holiday spent with Lloyd "by thy quiet fire-side in Vermont-with thy wife and darling child with thee." Returning to the letter three days later she reflects on the year since his departure: "Oh how much I think about thee as the anniversary of thy departure comes round . When I think of thee my dearest ask then what a weary dreary time it seems . Our little darling improves so rapidly is so very lovely that I can hardly bear to have thee away." News that another California emigrant Dr. Stone had returned safely made Lloyd's absence still more painful. Although she understood that "the object of thy pilgrimage" at last appeared attainable Anna wondered why the management of his property could not be entrusted to an agent asking why "Mr. Ruckle" cannot "receive the rents & pay the former owner and send thee thy portion of the profits." However she immediately checks her own advice with an observation on marriage and gender: "You men know so much more how these things work than we so that it is rather labor wasted to advise much and I do hate to see a woman trying to rule her husband-don't thee" Anna feared that Lloyd might remain away sacrificing his domestic life only to lose the anticipated reward. Her skepticism extends to the Gold Rush itself: "I do hope though that the man who has taken your property will be able to pay you-that would be so bad to stay away so long-sacrificing so much & lose thy reward entirely-don't thee suppose this mania in California will end much as the land speculation did here seems to me it must. I hope thee won't get drawn in." Much of the letter is devoted to their infant son whose birth Lloyd may initially have learned of from another returning emigrant because of the "shamefully neglected" Pacific mails. At four months the boy weighed eighteen and one-quarter pounds and had "cheeks as hard as little apples." Anna encloses a lock of his hair explaining that she had kissed it before sending it. The contrast between California and the Vermont household runs throughout the letter. Anna describes the snow distant mountains sleighing baked apples and buckwheat cakes while Lloyd remains in a place known to her mainly through contradictory reports and unreliable correspondence. She cites Bayard Taylor's account of portions of California as suitable wheat country while noting that other observers claimed wheat could not be grown there at all remarking on the "contradictory accounts about California" that make it hard to "tell what to believe." Her anxiety was heightened by reports of cholera progressing toward California. She closes by asking Lloyd to protect his health and praying that he might be restored to her "in sound health both body & soul." Anna was a daughter of Rowland Thomas and Rachel Robinson of Rokeby the prominent Ferrisburgh Quaker family whose home later became known for its role in the Underground Railroad. Other letters from Anna to Lloyd during his California absence survive at the Bancroft Library and the Smithsonian.3 Overall a substantial and affecting account of the Gold Rush from the perspective of a wife left behind. 1 David Lion Gardner Letter to Juliana McLachlan Gardiner November 30 1849 David Gardiner Letters BANC MSS 2006/127 box 1.The Bancroft Library University of California Berkeley. 2 Anna Robinson Minturn Letters to Lloyd Minturn 1849-1851 Warshaw Collection of Business Americana Subject Categories: Steamboats box 1 folder 6 J-L Archives Center National Museum of American History Smithsonian Institution Washington DC. 3 Anna R.

1947ref. List2844Austria; Java Indonesia; London England; and Los Angeles California 1947. Sixteen pieces: two "Friends' Esperanto Society" bulletins 8 x 12 ½ inch each; two letters 8 ½ x 11 inch each; seven "Hinda Esperantisto" pamphlets 5 ½ x 8 inch four pages each; two "Declaration" forms 4 x 6 inches; one BES pamphlet 4 ½ x 6 inches eight pages; one set of tickets for membership information 2 x 5 inches missing one tear-off ticket and one "Universala Ligo" membership card for 1947 3 x 4 ½ inches. Folded; some chipping and tearing at edges. Overall excellent to near fine. Esperanto is an artificial language created by Polish physician Ludwik Zamenhof 1859-1917 in 1887. Zamenhof intended Esperanto to be a universal second language; his experiences growing up Jewish in the Russian Empire among Russian Polish German and Yiddish speakers-all of whom regarded each other at best with suspicion-led him to believe that an easily-learned neutral second language could by contrast inspire unity between all people. Offered here is a small collection of materials related to various Esperanto societies: the "BES" a Czech group the Universal Esperanto Association the Friends' Esperanto Society the Esperanto Club of Los Angeles and Hinda Esperantisto - "Indian Esperantist" based in Java Indonesia. These materials written largely in Esperanto note that most quotes herein are translated are mostly typical club bulletins advertising events announcing members' news and reminding the reader of upcoming fees. The BES pamphlet besides advertising its Adresaro member directory solicits donations for a "living monument to Esperanto"-a headquarters-to be built in Potštejn in Czechia "in the shape of a five-pointed star which would become a real home for all those who love goodness beauty health truth and progress. The stone-like majestic white building will shine brightly in a beautiful circle from a moderate slope and the fragrant forest behind it will form a charming background." 1932 This utopian vision was likely prevented at least in part by the Nazi occupation of the country. Esperanto speakers including Zamenhof's family in particular were among their many targets. The effort to purge the universal language from Europe was clearly not successful; a postwar letter from a language teacher in Austria to a gentleman in California included in this collection notes that the Californian's address had been printed "in the magazine 'Die Weltsprache'" - that is "The World Language" February 14 1947. Esperanto's egalitarian and pacifist aims form a large part of its appeal to Quakers. It is unclear whether the Friends' Esperanto Society which authored two of the items in this collection is the same as the Kvakera Esperanto-Societo which was founded in 1921 and is still active. The March 1935 bulletin announces the F.E.S.'s annual meeting at Friends House in London the headquarters of the Religious Society of Friends in Britain. An obituary for Wilson Henry Sturge the Society's Vice President remarks on "his desire for international friendship and understanding through Esperanto" March 1935. The January 1936 bulletin calls members to petition their local Registrar of Education for Esperanto to be taught in high schools a request echoed by the Universala Esperanto-Asocio's declaration form calling on the United Nations to "help to spread the use of this language in every possible way" including supporting its teaching in schools in order "to facilitate communication between the peoples of the world and to promote social progress." George R. Thompson's letter to the Los Angeles Esperanto Club as its President strikes a similarly idealistic tone. He gives Club members his "Decalogue" finishing with an exhortation to: "10. Fix our eyes directly on our dear goal the universal brotherhood of humanity and global peace - through linguistic mutual understanding" August 1 1933. "Hinda Esperantisto" written by Liem Tjong Hie is somewhat more polemical. Its announcements include news from the Manchurian Federation of Esperantists who proposed to make Esperanto the region's official language and "to abolish the English language" Jan-May 1933. It criticizes "the European progressive writers" especially the Hungarian Esperantist Kálmán Kalocsay for making the language more difficult for learners. Liem also writes mysteriously: "The world does not know that the Belgian Esperanto Institute dir. Frans Schoofs Antwerp is a physically rotting company. The shamelessness of the leaders is shown by the fact that they are so heroic in victimizing distant people knowing that they cannot do anything against them. A black mark to the apparent reputation of the leaders!" These pamphlets also include side-by-side Indonesian and Esperanto blurbs including a review of a new book for Malaysian Esperanto learners - Esperanto caught on quickly in Asia where it still enjoys widespread popularity. Of interest to Esperantistoj and historians of Esperanto. unknown
