Very Good edges foxed in Very Good dust jacket dulled spine panel light wear and stain at foot. A great association between playwright Odets with one of his more difficult plays and Hollywood actor Fredric March a major star of his day.

The Group Theater would last ten years total; their biggest success would be the following year with Odets' play Golden Boy. Random House unknown books

Benjamin Cromwell Franklin was a lawyer legislator and the first judge in the Republic of Texas. Leaving his practice in Georgia Franklin moved to Texas to fight in its Texas Revolution. While serving as a private at the Battle of San Jacinto he was sent as a messenger afterward to inform President Burnet of the victory. He received a 320-acre land grant in compensation for his military serves and was one of the first settlers in what would become Houston. President Sam Houton appointed him to be a district judge and a member of the Republic's Supreme Court. He resigned in 1839 and moved to Galveston to once more practice law. He also served several terms as a state legislator before his death in 1873. It was as a private attorney that he made this request for assistance with an Ohio deposition.

ref. 31015folio two pages plus stamp-less address leaf some folds and creases else in very good clean and legible condition. 1848 British Immigrant in Pennsylvania Coal Mine Region Petitions US Government for Worker's Rights. Dear Rebecca …I mentioned in my last letter that it was my intention to go to California but I am happy to tell you that I have done according to your wishes although I am sorry to tell you that I cannot fulfill my promises that is to spend Christmas with you as I have been appointed Delegate to Pottsville and Schuylkill County at large for the purpose of carrying out a petition that has been drawn by the Citizens of Tamaqua for the Laboring Man to receive his money and not Store Goods. Said petition to be presented to the Government to pass a Law to that effect so I hope you will excuse my absence… …I promise you that I will ever be constant to you and none else for you are the highest in my esteem and is esteemed by all who know you. I must now conclude for it is very late and to morrow morning I must commences my journey…" 22 year-old James March an immigrant from England who had apparently been ready to make the trek to California the week that President Polk formally announced the discovery of gold in America's new western territory acceded to the wishes of his sweetheart to remain in Pennsylvania. His census record describe him as "laborer" rather than a miner but he seems to have been well-regarded by the disgruntled men who labored in the mines of the Monongahela Valley. Discontent had been rampant in the region since 1842 when miners of Schuylkill County marched on the County seat to protest low wages a short-lived strike that was broken up by a local militia company. Then in 1848 the year this letter was written John Bates another British immigrant who had been involved in the Chartist working-class movement for political reform in England organized a formal union which soon enrolled some 5000 miners in Schuylkill county. Perhaps it was this organization that chose March to present a petition with their demands – not for higher wages but to receive remuneration in cash rather than in kind. Seven months later the union did strike for a wage increase to which the mine operators were forced to agree though the union itself collapsed after word spread that Bates had absconded with its funds. There seems to be no record of what became of March's petition but he like his countryman may have said farewell to the Pennsylvania coal mines soon after marrying Rebecca and becoming the father of a baby boy. There is no further census record of March or his wife in Schuylkill County after 1850. books
