Extensive tape repairs to folds mostly archival tape but some regular tape too which has caused a little browning in areas long tear obscures writers signature but partially visible creased normal aging and browning remnant of wax seal; otherwise good or better. The letter is to Boston Mayor Josiah Quincy 1772-1864 a future head of Harvard and served eight years in Congress. It appears after becoming Boston's mayor he sent delegates to New York and Philadelphia to study fire fighting techniques in those cities. The author of this letter read about this mission and sent Mayor Quincy a lengthy letter on the subject. The probable author is Solon Robinson 1803-1880 although his signature is partially obscured by a tear. However on the back page a smudged docketed note identifies him as Solon Robertson or Robinson. Robinson was a writer and would become a well known Indiana pioneer. In any case the author would suggest a far more modern system for fighting fires than the existing practice of engines carrying water to fires which would become useless when the water ran out. he proposed putting lead aqueduct pipes "laid deep underground and leading to every part of the city."

1908ref. 232131908. Chelsea fire real photo postcard archive documenting the destruction of civic religious medical and financial institutions in Chelsea outside of Boston Massachusetts after the November 1908 fire one of the most destructive urban fires in early twentieth century New England. This collection displays not only the ruined architecture but on the functions that had to be reestablished after the fire including places of worship schooling banking and medical care. Not only do these images display a developing New England city in ruins but the involvement of the surrounding community that was left displaced to pick up the pieces. Photo archive of 12 silver gelatin real photo postcards each 3" x 5.5" Chelsea Massachusetts circa 1908. The cards show skeletal masonry walls roofless church towers leveled residential blocks ash fields and streets lined with stripped tree trunks and scattered debris. Printed captions identify multiple sites including "Ruins of Unitarian Church Chelsea Mass." "Universalist Church Fourth & Chestnut St." "Ruins of Fay School Chelsea Mass." "Ruins of Public Library" "Central Church from Broadway Chelsea Mass." "Ruins of Williams School & First Universalist Church Chelsea Mass." and "Remains of Frost Hospital." Several views are wide panoramas taken from elevated ground or across open lots showing block after block reduced to foundations and chimneys while others isolate single institutional buildings left standing as shells. Human figures appear throughout as scale markers and witnesses with pedestrians moving through cleared streets and one especially important card showing uniformed cadets and coast artillery guards with rifles outside the Chelsea Savings Bank. The Great Chelsea Fire burned through a substantial section of the city in 1908 and displaced thousands making it one of the most destructive urban fires in New England in its period. These postcards preserve the public facing record created immediately after the disaster when churches schools hospitals libraries and banks were photographed not as isolated ruins but as essential parts of a city whose institutional framework had to be defended and rebuilt. Some edge and corner wear; minor toning. Overall very good condition. A concentrated record of urban destruction emergency security and civic reconstruction in Chelsea Massachusetts. unknown
