1789réf. List2987Philadelphia Pennsylvania 1789. Single three-page letter measuring 7 ¾ x 9 ¾ inches. Folded with large tears at folds; excellent. A letter from H. Cathrall in Philadelphia to her friend Amey Thurston dated October 20th 1789. The letter discusses her health and the health and lives of their mutual friends. She also describes her experience of hearing ministry at a women's Quaker meeting: "our yearly Solemnity was uncommonly large and much sisterly condescension was comfortingly evidencd; and thro the condescension of Isarels Israel's King and Shepherd we were made in some sittings reverently to rejoice in that the Lord in wondrous Mercy had not forgotten Sion 'nor yet in Anger cast off his People'~". Though Quaker worship meetings did not exclude women Philadelphia did have a women's monthly meeting as well; Haverford College holds its membership book for 1793 Cathrall does not appear in it but at least one other name mentioned in her letter does. Of interest to scholars of Philadelphia's long Quaker history especially the role of Quaker women. unknown

1849réf. 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.

1864réf. 3090Loudon VA: Published by "Sarah Lizzie & Lida 1864. First edition. custom folder. Good. THE UNION UNDERGROUND WOMEN'S NEWSPAPER OF CONFEDERATE VIRGINIA: A remarkable Union newspaper written and edited by three young Quaker women inside Confederate Virginia - this issue prominently endorsing Abraham Lincoln for reelection. An extraordinary survival from one of the most remarkable journalistic enterprises of the Civil War: an underground Union newspaper conceived written edited and distributed by three young Quaker women living within Confederate Virginia. Sarah A. Steer 1837-1921 and sisters Elizabeth "Lizzie" Dutton 1839-1915 and Emma Eliza "Lida" Dutton 1844-1913 lived in Waterford Loudoun County a strongly Unionist Quaker community repeatedly exposed to Confederate incursions. Determined that their Union sympathies "should not be suppressed" the three women reported edited published and distributed the newspaper arranging for its printing across Union lines. Their copy was carried across the Potomac into Maryland where the paper was printed by the Baltimore American whose editor was an old friend of the Dutton family. The women themselves described the enterprise as a "hazardous undertaking." Their stated purpose was "to cheer the weary soldier and render material aid to the sick and wounded" with proceeds from the ten-cent cover price benefiting the United States Sanitary Commission. Only eight issues appeared during the final year of the Civil War. This August 1864 issue underneath the bold masthead proclaiming "UNION FOREVER" opens with a prominent political endorsement: FOR PRESIDENT ABRAHAM LINCOLN. Vice-President ANDY JOHNSON. Appearing less than three months before the presidential election the announcement was an explicit declaration of Union political allegiance by three young women publishing within a Confederate state. MOSBY'S RAIDERS AND GUERRILLA WARFARE: Several articles in this issue document the reality of guerrilla warfare surrounding Waterford. Mosby's Raiders-also called Mosby's Rangers-were Confederate cavalrymen commanded by John Singleton Mosby the officer known as the "Gray Ghost." Officially the 43rd Battalion Virginia Cavalry they specialized in quick raids behind Union lines principally in northern Virginia. They attacked supply and communication routes captured soldiers and horses and dispersed to evade pursuit. They were an organized Confederate military unit using guerrilla tactics. Under the heading "ROBBERY" the editors report that Mosby's men raided Point of Rocks and intercepted a letter containing $14 in subscriptions sent by soldiers of the 1st Eastern Shore Maryland Infantry. Their response is pointedly sarcastic: "Now this chivalric son of the South who wages no war against women appropriated the money to his own use." They nevertheless assure the soldiers that each subscriber remains entitled to "the thanks of the Editors." Elsewhere a summary of recent events recounts Mosby's July raid on Point of Rocks and describes Waterford as having been "surrounded by rebels with their bragging" and cut off from communication until Union troops returned. The paper also praises telegraph operator W. W. Shock for carrying his telegraphic equipment toward Baltimore in an effort to maintain Union communications while Confederate forces controlled the surrounding routes. WAR AS EXPERIENCED BY WOMEN: Perhaps most compelling is the opening editorial in which the editors describe the arrival of Union soldiers after Waterford had been surrounded by Confederate forces. The townspeople opened their homes and supplied the troops with food and clothing. The women recall: "Flags and handkerchiefs waved as the soldiers passed by and the citizens felt joy unspeakable." The editorial offers an unusually immediate female-authored account of civilian life in a contested Southern community: soldiers moving through the streets Confederate forces nearby shortages divided loyalties and local women participating directly in the Union war effort through journalism. NATIONAL RECEPTION - AND PRESIDENT LINCOLN: The little newspaper quickly attracted attention well beyond Loudoun County. The present issue itself notes complimentary notices in the Virginia State Journal and the Bucks County Intelligencer. More strikingly under the heading "REBEL LITERATURE" the editors reprint a notice from the Baltimore American which praises The Waterford News and identifies its editors-"Sarah Lizzie and Lida"-as "three brave warm-hearted Union girls." Its reputation spread still further. According to the Waterford history Horace Greeley's New York Tribune praised the paper while a Maryland regiment forwarded early issues directly to President Lincoln. The accompanying letter reported that by late June the "fair Editresses" had already raised nearly $1000 for the Sanitary Commission-an amount suggesting substantial circulation for such a locally produced wartime newspaper. Thus this was not merely a village newspaper operating in isolation: within weeks of its founding the work of three young women in Waterford had reached both the national press and the White House. FROM CIVIL WAR JOURNALISM TO RECONSTRUCTION: Sarah Steer's activism continued immediately after the war. She sought funds from the Freedmen's Bureau Philadelphia Quakers and local supporters to establish a school for freed children. Before the schoolhouse itself was completed she began teaching in her side yard in 1865 and is identified as the "first teacher of black children" in Loudoun County by The Waterford Foundation. The trajectory is remarkable: from editing an underground Union newspaper during the Civil War to educating formerly enslaved children at the beginning of Reconstruction. RARITY: Only eight issues of The Waterford News were published and individual original issues are exceptionally uncommon in commerce. The present issue is particularly compelling for its combination of the dramatic "UNION FOREVER" masthead explicit Lincoln-Johnson endorsement eyewitness reports of Mosby's operations substantial editorial writing by the three women themselves contemporary notices documenting the paper's national reception and the remarkable fact that earlier issues had already reached President Lincoln.
