The Brownings were friendly with
accomplished American sculptor Hiram
Powers and his family in Florence. Mr. Powers
the sculptor is our chief friend and favorite, a
most charming, simple, straightforward, genial
American, as simple as the man of genius he
has proved himself needs be. He sometimes
comes to talk and take coffee with us, and
we like him much. (The Letters of Elizabeth
Barrett Browning, New York: Macmillan, 1899,
page 347)
My dear Mr. Powers,
Mr. and Mrs. Clarke & Mr. Spring [?] will
spend this evening with us. They were at rst
unwilling to come on the ground of having
a past promise from you that you would go
to them, but we over-ruled the difculty by
proposing thereby to persuade you to come
to us instead and meet them here. Do come
at eight, if you can. I am afraid of asking Mrs.
Powers but if the bait of a piece of America
could catch her, so much the better for us and
everybody.
Most hasty [?] ever,
Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Doyle, Sir Arthur Conan (1859-1930)
Autograph Letter Signed, London, 18
January 1910.
Three inscribed pages on folded Piccadilly
Hotel stationery. To an American theatre
manager concerning the running of his play
The House of Temperley. Folds, a few light
spots, 7 x 4 1/2 in. folded.
My dear Sir, I am grieved to think that for the
second time you have had ill luck in running
one of my plays. It is always a consolation
to my mind in putting on my own plays--as I
have twice done here--that no one can suffer
but myself. I am very sorry indeed that you in
America should be the loser.
If Temperley should be a success there it will
diminish any pleasure that it should not be in
your hands to partly compensate you for the
failures. It is playing here to steadily increasing
business, and will do well here, I believe, but
there is an English atmosphere to it which
might be against it over there. Faversham has
bought the rights but he will nd no star part in
it, which he may not like.
I cabled you today about [Cyril] Maude
because I am so anxious to retain him if
possible. He is not--between ourselves--
much of an actor, so that I cannot think his
absence would affect a play much, but he is
excellent in the boxing, and for that reason
has a special value in my play. I am sure you
will do what you can, and if you hold on to him
I will understand that you have some good
reason. As it is two of my valued cast, Gwenn
and Heggie, have [...] to the Duke of York.
That is a calamity but Maude is more vital than
any of them. With all kind regards, Yours very
sincerely, Arthur Conan Doyle.

Kerouac, Jack (1922-1969) Typed Letter,
with Manuscript Additions, [18 February
1940.]
Two sheets, single-spaced typing on all four
sides. To George J. Apostolos, written from
Kerouacs time at the Horace Mann School
in New York, with descriptions of a recent
blizzard, and social exploits; with additions
in pencil at head, foot, and intertextually, on
marigold yellow paper, 8 1/2 x 7 5/8 in.
This letter was composed just after the
Valentines Day blizzard that hit New England
on February 14, 1940. In it, Kerouac describes
his social interactions with wealthy school
classmates from Horace Mann School,
including seeing a friends beautiful younger
sister, with whom he is quite smitten. Kerouac
also mentions seeing Glenn Miller at the Hotel
Penn. On a literary note, an anecdote that
may have grown into a story from Kerouacs
Vanity of Duluoz also appears here. About
the snow storm. It was raging outside with a
70-mile gale. I decided to get a taste of the
Lowell trips I used to make through the elds
during big blizzards. I dressed up well and
ventured out. I went down by the docks and
listened to the ships in distress on the bay
and on the East River. Later, I stopped into a
waterfront bar for a stomach-warming beer.
Here I studied various characters. Then I went
out and went on the Brooklyn Bridge. There I
stood alone, with the gale full in my face, the
only man on the Bridge on that night. Once in
a while, a blast would almost blow me over,
but I resolved to conquer the fear I had for a
while. I did conquer it, for I could stand there
and laugh out loud after a while. I dont know
why I did it, but I do know that it was the rst
adventurous experience Ive had in a long
time.

Horace Mann, his facility with French, other
classes, and a detailed tale of a party with
friends. The paper toned, envelope with some
damage from leaking white paint to the top
edge, 10 1/2 x 8 in.
Again, I can pore through this French like I
do through English. I certainly learned a lot
at H.M. this year. I got practically minded,
learned French thoroughly, understood the
most intricate principals of mathematics,
learned to write and to read faster and more
intelligently, to appreciate Shakespeare and
all the poets..and countless other things.
[...] [W]e are both alike in the fact that we are
idealistic aesthetics, seeking the ner things in
life by means of classical expression. I pity the
person who doesnt partake of the wonderful
delight of aesthetism [sic] .and there are
plenty of them.

titled Morning Mist comprising two pages of
a six page letter (three leaves). To George J.
Apostolos, written after Kerouacs graduation
from Horace Mann School; the rst letter
discussing their shared future as writers, the
upcoming summer in Lowell, memories of
Lowell, and a detailed description of new jazz
records Kerouac recently purchased. The
piece on Morning Mist is a juvenile poetic
prose piece inuenced by Whitman; the
letter containing more plans for the summer
in Lowell, discussion of intellectual pursuits,
reading, music, drinking, and women.
Typed on ve leaves of wove marigold-
colored writing paper, with a typed envelope
postmarked June 5, 1940, Brooklyn, New
York, 12:30 am; the envelope chipped with
loss, with an unfortunate paint leaking aw in
the upper right corner; the letters themselves
with old folds, each page marked with a spot
of discoloration, ranging in size from a 3/4
inch round, to a 1 x 2 inch splotch, one page
unaffected, 8 1/4 x 7 5/8 in.
I dont like to see you say that you cant
equal my amazing eloquence. In the rst
place, it is eloquence in every sense of the
word, but it is not amazing. (Youll nd that
out if you read something by Noel Coward,
Jules Romains, Max Beerbohm, or the
like.) However, it is an immature beginning-
---and the same applies for your awless
composition----into the eld of unusual writing.
We are both well on our way, and I might
add that we each possess a unique style
apart from each other, and neither is better
than the other. Thats a fact. As the years
roll on, we shall develop styles of writing that
may throw us into a literary spotlight. That
book were going to write together will be
the most sensational one since The Tales of
Gamberhousing by Roland Everhard II.

envelope, and manuscript note, Jack Lewis
Ph.D.S.S., postmarked Brooklyn, New
York, June 9, 1940, 11:00 pm. To George
J. Apostolos, written just after Kerouacs
graduation from Horace Mann, before his
return to Lowell for the summer, describing
Kerouacs reading, college plans, and
conveying excitement about their impending
summer reunion. Envelope with discoloration
to upper edge due to old white paint leakage,
with some loss; letter with old folds, fading;
a spot, measuring 3 x 3/4 in. affects both
pages, with loss of legibility of approximately
three words, small hole in the center of the
spot where the folds converge on the second
page, 8 1/2 x 11 in.
[A]ll Van Goghs gloriously artistic life has
made me into a minor Van Gogh. I stay awake
nights assuring myself that I too am an Artist-
---except that I paint with my pen, and not
with a brush. (Writing.) I talk to myself and tell
myself that I am an artist, because I shall write
plays that will paint beautiful pictures of life.
The Impressionists dened beauty as realism,
so that a well-painted whore, despite her
lack of teeth was beauty because of its stark
realism. Thats how I want to write.
There can be no adequate expression in this
20th Century without a typewriter. In the old
days, Dickens wrote with a pen, but now the
demand is for racy stuff racily written.
As for your suggestions on the college
situation, you are absolutely correct. A
diploma from Columbia is more meaty[.] []
Thats where many a novelist, playwright,
poet, artist, man of the world has come
from---Columbia. I want to be a playwright
and I need the Cosmopolitan education Ill get
there. Besides, after reading the Van Gogh
biography, I want to be like him, living alone
in my room, supporting myself and hanging
my critical essays on the wall as if they were
paintings in oil. Im going to be a big maniac
there, and all I have to say is that I wish you
could be there with me-----studying for our
eventual success in the eld of letters. Go on
with your readings and studyings and dont
ever let the narrow atmosphere of Lowell stop
you.

J. Apostolos, describing football practices,
upcoming visits, romantic liaisons, big meals,
loneliness, and other subjects. Both letters
stained and discolored, and chipped with

words.
I struggle and work and cry and boast and
ponder and laugh. I do all these things; they
are the components of life. I have all my work,
my duties, my studies, my responsibilities. I
do them all---oftentimes in a lousy manner
and in a lazy manner---but I always manage
to scramble to that level that we call
Reasonable. I know that the world is in
chaos, and that my precious individualism
will not last. But I also foresee things.great,
awful, dark things and I foresee a terrible

John dearest:
YOU UNDERSTAND.
I have been to the four corners of the United
States and back; in Kansas, where Truman
Capote & I spent a bleak winter solving 4
murders for the New Yorker; in Monroeville,
where a letter from you just missed me;
in New York, where I became Famous; in
Connecticut, where the Famous go to get
used to it; in Easthampton, where the Famous
go after theyve gotten used to it; back to NY;
up to Connecticut again where my beloved
agent, Maurice Crain, became deathly ill,
and deprived me of the small pleasures
(like cashing checks at Brentanos) and joys
(like calling the phone company to give you
an unlisted number) that the Famous are
supposed to have. Maurice, thank God, is
almost well (infectious hepatitis), and Ive had
to come back to Ala. to face the State.
Honey, I just cant write you whats happened
to me, Ill just have to see you and tell you.
But I can write you that I appreciated your
Mockingbird letter more than any letter from
anyone Ive received. You are one of my
oldest friends, John, and happily one whose
judgement [the e struck out] and taste Ive
always respected to the utmost. To get a
Yes! from you is an honor not easily won,
and I want you to know I appreciate it more
than I can say.
Please let me hear from you, if you are still
speaking to me, and let me know where you
are. Im sending this to Phil. [sic] in hopes that
you left a forwarding address. Doesnt matter
whether I write or not, Ive always got to know
where you are, John. Im hoping against
hope that youll be in NY when I return (if eer
I return, Ive got so much to do down here),
so I can get a glimpse of your ridiculous face
once more.
Meantime, my love.

To say that my heart turned over when I heard
from my old friend is inaccurate--at our age
we have attacks,
Harper Lee thrives, but at the expense of
Nelle, who, after being well & truly mugged
last June, ed to a more civilized environment
(Vermont & Alabama). I plan to return to NY on
the 8th, pack my books & get out of there for
good--probably to Vermont for the remainder
of the winter, then God knows where. Im tired
of ghting dope addicts and too old to pretend
that NY is the center of the universe.
If Clayton is within a bus ride of the city, could
you spare me at least a lunch or dinner hour
some day? I promise you that you will nd
Nelle--old & grey & fat now, but retaining some
recognizable characteristics. That I will know

Cooks third voyage contains the disturbing
story of his own death in Hawaii on the

Hawaiians stole a small boat from the English,
tensions between the two groups were
palpably high. Cooks attempt to resolve the
problem by taking Kalanio-puu, the King of
Hawaii, as a hostage failed miserably. A group
of Hawaiians surrounded the English, killing
Cook and several other sailors in his party. (3)

in the plate, consisting of fty-three leaves
with approximately 472 separate engravings,
ranging in size from very large full-page folio,
to some the size of postage stamps, and
everything in between, including images of
many subjects fullling many categories of
illustration, including title pages, frontispieces,
bookplates, armorial crests and medals,
illustrations for Aesops Fables, the life of
Christ, and other works, engraved initials
and decorative pieces, portraits, architectural

The only uniting theme of this group of
engravings is Leclerc, and it seems unlikely
that anyone other than the artist would have
access to so much of his work. Although
that it is possible that these illustrations were
collected by one of his contemporaries who
was a great admirer of his work, it may also be
that Leclerc himself assembled this album as a
portfolio of samples to show his artistic range.

The Life of Joice Heth, the Nurse of Gen.
George Washington, (The Father of our

Pounds. New York: Printed for the Publisher,

Octavo pamphlet, six leaves, disbound, some
foxing and toning, 6 1/2 x 4 1/4 in.
P.T. Barnum had just purchased Joice Heth
for display in August of 1835. This pamphlet
was likely issued in conjunction with Barnums
show. In a rather ghastly display of 19th
century exploitation, Barnum, in response
to great public misgivings regarding Heths
actual age, held a public autopsy after her
death which attracted 1,500 spectators. The
surgeon declared Heths actual age to have
been about eighty years. Additionally, there
seems to be no evidence that she ever served
as Washingtons nurse.

Balance. Philadelphia, 1828.
Broadside cartoon, etched and hand-colored,
matted, slight marginal edge discoloration, 11
1/4 x 17 1/2 in.
This political cartoon documents a vicious
mud-slinging campaign against Andrew
Jackson that occurred in the press during
the 1828 Presidential race. A Philadelphia

which seemingly only succeeded in damaging
Binnss own reputation. In this cartoon, Binns
is crushed under his own cofns, with Adams
and Clay riding on his shoulders as well.
