ref. 021800No Place: No publisher. Unbound. Good. World War I Collection of Correspondence. Approximately 15 letters. Some with original envelopes. All circa August 1918 to November 1919. All single sheets 2 to 4 pages long handwritten. With two small cabinet card photos of a young woman. These letters were written by Admiral E.K. Moore from the Hotel Connor in Nice France as well as the American Hospital in France. They were written to the wife of Major John Knowlton no first name for the wife given in the letters unfortunately and regarded the health of Major Knowlton. Major Knowlton served as a doctor in France in World War I and it appears he became ill in the Summer of 1918 eventually being diagnosed with spinal meningitis. This caused him to lose his memory and resulted in a lengthy hospital stay. Because of this his wife was not originally notified. These letters from Admiral Moore describe Knowlton's health and improvement as well as his transfer to another hospital. It appears Knowlton eventually recovered fully and returned home to the US with some of the later letters addressing the gratitude apparently expressed by the Knowltons. All in GOOD condition with fold creases some toning and other general wear. Envelopes very worn. No publisher unknown

A scarce work issued to celebrate the abolition of slavery in British colonies with the Slavery Abolition Act passed in 1833 and going into effect on 1 August 1834. "On the memorable day when British Colonial Slavery ceased the 'Peckham Negro's Friend and Instruction Society' held a special meeting with a view to 'signalizing the day of Negro Emancipation by some act of Christian benevolence" and accordingly came to the unanimous resolution of undertaking 'the charge of an Adult School to be established in the island of Jamaica. The necessary steps were taken to effect this design; and it is the hope of aiding the the extension of its practical usefulness which has prompted a few individuals who have long felt deeply interested in the Negro's cause to collect into a small volume such poems as may be within their reach written for the most part in special commemoration of the abolition of Slavery and to apply the profit if any to the furtherance of the object before described." The authors of most of these poems have signed with their initials only. This is the first edition. LCP 2587. Published by Edmund Fry unknown books
