1863ref. BK0082Monticello Florida 1863. Autograph letter signed 2 pp. 7 x 9 inches addressed to the Honorable E. J. Vann Madison Florida. Stampless folded letter with fair circular "MONTICELLO FLA." 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

OCLC locates six copies of Klan charters from the 1920s one copy each but apparently does not locate one from the United Klans of America formed in the early 1960s when a number of organizations merged; we haven't found a sales record for a charter from either era but are aware of the sale of a 1920s charter for Belhaven N.C. some years ago. Old fold lines rubbed two inch separation at top; some storage wear and soil a good example. Organized with the merger of several Klan organizations in Tuscaloosa Alabama United Klans of America emerged in the early 1960s with its main leader Robert Shelton quickly rising to become its Imperial Wizard. Over the next two years it became well-known for its opposition to the Civil Rights movement and a number of its members were convicted of heinous crimes; including the lynching of Michael Donald in 1981 by UKA members one of whom confessed to the murder and was sentenced to life in prison. Through the Southern Poverty Law Center Donald's family brought a successful suit against the UKA which was unable to pay the several million dollars awarded; through bankruptcy Donald's mother was awarded the UKA property and sold it the UKA ceasing operations in 1988.

1836ref. BK0192Apalachicola Florida 1836. Autograph letter signed one closely written page on a folded sheet 7 ¾ x 9 ½. Old folds light toning and scattered minor staining. Very good. An account of the effects of the Creek War of 1836 on commerce along the Chattahoochee River written from Apalachicola by the Florida lawyer Hiram Manley 1802-1853. A native of Easton Massachusetts and an 1825 graduate of Harvard Manley practiced law in territorial Florida and later served as a judge. His involvement in the region's commercial development is documented in February 1838 when he joined a five-man committee in Apalachicola petitioning Congress for permission to import iron duty-free for four steamboats intended to navigate the Apalachicola Chattahoochee and Flint rivers.1 Writing to a northern mercantile firm concerning a protested draft Manley explains that he has been unable to obtain a sight draft from the local bank and intends to travel through Pensacola to Mobile to secure funds. Business in Apalachicola is nearly finished for the season and the fighting upriver has made the collection of outstanding debts almost impossible: "The Indian disturbances in this quarter particularly on the banks of the Chattahoochee River between this City & Columbus in Georgia have had a very prejudicious effect on the business of this place this season & have so completely broken into the business arrangements of the Planters & Merchants in their Neighborhood that it is almost impossible to make Collections at present - the debts are good & will be paid as soon as they can leave the camps & return to the Field." The letter was written shortly after the June 9 engagement at Shepherd's Plantation south of Columbus in which Creek forces attacked Georgia militia inflicting heavy casualties. The fighting formed part of the Creek resistance to fraudulent land transactions encroachment by white settlers and the prospect of forced removal from Alabama. Manley's account documents the immediate commercial consequences farther downriver where militia mobilization had interrupted plantation business and left merchants unable to collect debts even as their own obligations fell due. 1 Petition and Papers of Isaac Gage Praying for Leave to Import Iron Vessels Free of Duty 25th Cong. 3rd sess.
