Description:
Bordeaux, 1779. Single page letter measuring 9 x 7 inches, fine condition. Fine. When Spain joined France in the naval war with Great Britain following the Treaty of Aranjuez in 1779, it would have a significant impact in the American Revolutionary War. Offered here is a significant letter providing the news of Spain's impending involvement, written by the Princeton-graduate turned assistant to Benjamin Franklin, William Vernon Jr., to his father in 1779. In the letter, Vernon the younger gives details on Spain's actions, which would have a profound impact on the conflict. The Newport, Rhode Island merchant William Vernon Sr., who engaged in the Atlantic slave trade, served as President of the Continental Naval Board during the Revolutionary War, playing a leading role in the maritime activities of the Continental Congress. His son, William Jr., was a Princeton graduate who traveled to France in 1778 with John Adams. He served for a time as Benjamin Franklin's assistant, and with Adams helped… Read More

Description:
New York: Benjamin W. Hitchcock, 1880. Sheet music measuring 11 x 14 inches. 6 pp. With illustrated folio cover with Bland's likeness and a stereotypical illustration of African-Americans at church. Fine condition. A scarce and possibly a first printing of James A. Bland's "In the Evening by the Moonlight," published as part of the Great Ethiopian Songs series by Hitchcock's Music Store on Sixth Avenue in New York City. H.J. Weyman and the Popular Music Company also published editions of the song, one with a slight title variation, in 1880, both in New York City. The song would become one of the most famous of the seven hundred or so that Bland would eventually write, and be performed by Nina Simone into the twentieth century. We find four copies in OCLC, along with two copies of the other 1880 editions.

Description:
Great Britain, 1850. Broadside measuring 9 â…ž x 15 â…œ inches. Some chipping and wear to edge, ink number written in corner, two small section of loss due to improper mounting, very good overall. Coat of arms of the United Kingdom above printed text. Very Good. A scarce broadside relating to British postal rates across the Panama Route through the Chagres River, which supplied mail to California and Oregon beginning in 1848 before eventually being replaced by the Overland route in 1860. The service was characterized by long delay times, as steamships on either side of the isthmus were often not coordinated, causing major delays in the delivery. Several different steamship companies operated privately, some carrying express mail. The letters were transported by canoe or pack animal across the isthmus. Postmaster General Cave Johnson began establishing post offices in California in 1848. Johnson also oversaw the transition to the prepaid delivery system. The broadside here, of which we find no other… Read More

Description:
New York, 1871. Folded letter, fine condition. Fine. A letter written by Rebecca A. Morse, the activist and member of Sorosis, to the Snow family in Rockland, Maine, in 1871. The letter concerns a fundraising venture that is likely for the Cary sisters - Phoebe and Alice - who both died in 1871 Morse writes, "I know you will sympathize with me in the desire to honor the memory of the sweet sister Singers, and more than that as they believed with us in opening up to women of all avenues to usefulness and [..?..], and have done much of the good work of inaugurating that broader usefulness and higher life." Alice Cary had been the president of Sorosis, the first professional women's club in the U.S. While we can't pin down the exact fundraising event taking place from the letter, circumstances make it highly likely that it was a memorial for the Cary sisters. As a postscript, Morse writes: "Is it not a nice thing the getting up this memorial? Of course Lucy and Susan will help & your Mother." Lucy and… Read More
