ref. 016607No Place: No Publisher. Unbound. Good. No place or date presumed Dover New Hampshire circa 1869. Blue lined letter paper measuring approximately 10 by 8 inches. Blindstamp reading "Learned" within an emblem of some sort at the top left of each page. Pages attached along the left edge originating as single sheets folded into pages. 8 pages with 3 ¼ pages written on. "Libel for Divorce S.J. Hall vs D Hall" written on the reverse of one page. PLEASE NOTE: the truth to this letter and its contents has not at this time been verified. Research in local records and other sources has not turned up a record of a marriage between a Sarah J. Christie and Daniel Hall. A Daniel Hall did live in Dover New Hampshire during this period. He was a lawyer and served as an aide to President Lincoln. He may have spent time learning law in Dover under Daniel M. Christie who did have a daughter named Sarah J. Christie. Records do indicate a later marriage for her. It is possible that this is perhaps some sort of spoof or satire letter written for entertainment or other reasons unknown. Names of other residents of the area are included in the letter. A handwritten petition submitted to the Court of Chancery in Dover New Hampshire apparently written and signed by Sarah J. Hall maiden name Christie seeking a divorce from her husband Daniel Hall. The letter gives the date of marriage the location of the marriage ceremony and the justice of the peace who presided and asserts the author "has faithfully performed her duties devolving upon her as a faithful affectionate and loving woman." Ms. Hall then proceeds to state that Daniel has "wantonly cruelly and without any provocation whatever wholly abandoned and deserted her the said Sarah and left her destitute." Continuing the letter asserts that "Daniel wholly regardless of his duty as a husband . has at divers varied and sundry times and in immeasurable places and in promiscuous assemblies frequented the company of and consorted with divers strange and fascinating women." He is accused of writing letters filled with "protestations of love and undying attachment" and had passed himself off as being single. A particular incident is noted perhaps 1869 or 1859 date somewhat illegible at the house of a "notorious and public" character in Dover in which Daniel "lay his head in the lap of a certain abandoned woman." It seems Daniel also possessed a head of curly hair to the delight of his wife but that he cut off locks of said hair to give to various "beautiful and fascinating women." Secret small town scandal or satire GOOD condition. Horizontal fold creases present. Some splitting to the paper along the hinge. Some toning fading very minor spotting and soiling to the letter.

1868ref. 020147New York: Susan B. Anthony Proprietor; R.J. Johnson Publisher 1868. Wraps. Good. Side sewn journal. Approximately 12 ¼ by 9 inches. 16 pp. Early issue of the Revolution a groundbreaking and influential newspaper produced by Elizabeth Cady Stanton Susan B. Anthony and Parker Pillsbury. The paper was established to provide a voice to activists and suffragists such as Stanton and Anthony whose voices were marginalized by the mainstream press as well as many abolitionist publications with whom they had been previously allied. Anthony and Stanton advocated for an amendment giving suffrage to women along with the amendment sponsored by abolitionists that would give Black men the right to vote. Many abolitionists actively discouraged Stanton and Anthony from pursuing their amendment until the amendment enfranchising Black men passed creating a rift in the abolitionist movement as well as the women's suffrage movement. Feeling betrayed by abolitionists and Republicans who initially supported them they established the Revolution with financial help from George Francis Train a Democrat who supported women's rights but was openly racist. As the name indicates The Revolution adopted a combative radical tone with Stanton and others unafraid to take on critics. The paper openly discussed sexual and physical abuse in marriage and advocated better divorce laws that would offer women a way to escape abusive marriages. In 1869 the paper broke with Train who had supplied very little of the funding he initially offered. It published until 1872 struggling to make expenses along the way. This issue with a lengthy column editorial correspondence written by Elizabeth Cady Stanton on her travels in the US spanning almost two pages. Other pieces by Stanton discuss "National Labor Congress;" "Frank Blair on Woman's Suffrage;" and "Adah Isaacs Menken." Two lengthy pieces print quotes speaking from two meetings of the Workingwoman's Workingwomen's Association printing the discussion between Susan B. Anthony and others. GOOD condition. Several fold creases present with other general wrinkling. Minor toning and scattered soiling in the interior. Susan B. Anthony, Proprietor; R.J. Johnson, Publisher unknown
