1903Best.-Nr. 6457V.p. 1903. 36 postcards all completed in manuscript generally very good or better with some wear and rounded corners. A fascinating assemblage of cards written by Pre-Castro intellectuals to a Maria de Serra though a few are written to other women. It is difficult to pin down de Serra though we do know she was highly educated and very well-known and connected. It makes sense to us that she is perhaps the Maria de Serra mentioned by William Wells Brown in his important work The Rising Son or the Antecedents and advancement of the Colored Race 1874. On pg 260 Brown writes: "The free blacks in Cuba form an important element in her population and these people are found in all the professions and trades. .one of the best young ladies' academies at present existing at Havana is personally conducted by an accomplished negro woman Maria de Serra to whom many a lady of high rank owes her social and intellectual accomplishments." Further research may be fruitful in retrieving more information on this Maria de Serra. It goes without saying that the sentiments and signatures are the most appealing part of this collection. Many of the cards appear to contain original verse and all are quite legible and well preserved. Equally as lovely are the cards themselves many being of exceptional beauty as they were all chosen by artists and intellectuals. All in all a remarkable set worthy of further research.

Both addressed to "My Dear Gilbert"; the contents typed and concerning the fate of their mutual investment in "The Studio" restaurant & bar in Havana. ".all the papers that I can find at the Studio have been forwarded to you at Cambridge Springs. The reason for this delay has been that I have been quite ill having had a toe amputated.You will see the Studio is improving. I have just made an arrangement with two Chinamen as cooks Spanish waiters however.this should finally put the place on a paying basis." adding handwritten ".I trust you will soon send me a good sized check as I need money desperately." The letter of December relates Smith's attempts to find buyers and leasors for the restaurant ".I am bothered to death by the bills of the place existing before you left some of which I have personally guaranteed.have also had a proposition from a Spaniard to take the restaurant.As a restaurant is always a dead loser except under very competent management this seems to me to be most advantageous.The quarantine has been taken off the camps here and business is much better."; continuing to ask for money. With the original mailing envelopes addressed to Mr. W.E. Gilbert.
