Old folds. 2 pages; with original envelope featuring pen and ink portrait of a bear on the back; and with clipped article from the "Mexican Herald" of December 24 1895. 4to. A charming tribute with subtle overtures from three Swedish bachelors living in Mexico to three California sisters whose hunting prowess was described in an article in the "Mexican Herald."

The letter reads in part: ".we think it would interest you to know that your bravery and pluck are known even outside your own Country . We have read and reread the article and . we could not restrain ourselves from sending our respects. Down here you would find a great field for your guns. We have all kinds of big game . it is nothing unusual to meet an 8 or 9 feet sic tiger on the roads when we are out riding. We will described one of our hunting experiences that might interest you."

1870D11031England 1870s. Hardcover. Very Good. England Kent and Norfolk counties: c. 1871-1874. 8vo 175 x 115mm; 61 numbered pages in the hand of Charles W. Prescott detailing his various hunting excursions around the Kent countryside. Prescotts ownership inscription on front free-endpaper is dated 1871. His entries are easily read and cover Prescotts adventures on hunting hares with a skulk of foxes writing Found another in the same field ran her straight back to Old Park round the pond and the pack hunted her beautifully . Dec. 16 1871. The hunts took place over sprawling village and countryside or as he describes hop-gardens hills and ploughs of land in the Herne Bay area of Kent England. Many entries are headed by recognizable locations; Stroud Park Broomfield Hilsborough Wolston Heath and Chislet Mill and are dated with month and sometimes year. Only a portion of the way full his entries span about three years the first dated: Oct. 19 71 Stroud Park and last March 25 1874. Contemporary black morocco marbled endpapers and marbled endpapers with original brass clasp faint splitting at lower hinge of first few leaves strengthened at endpapers corners rubbed otherwise in very good shape especially considering it was wielded around so much of the Kentish countryside. Prescott makes many personal anecdotes about his day noting things in his surroundings like scent moderate or adding his opinions we could not kill I think we should have but the sun was too hot. Prescott often ends the entries with jotting down the days weather as something like very indifferent but as good as could be expected with a very cold east wind or simply stating Frost. It is evident from Prescotts personal asides that he was a vigilant huntsman quite dedicated to the task. Further personal glimpses reveal a record of his horses charming names including Salt Fish and Molly Malone. At the time Prescott was taking these notes Herne Bay area and the Kentish villages would have been teeming with people. The Victoria era was one of prosperity when elite English folk flocked to popular destinations to partake in their favorite pastimes. From 1873 on in the journal Prescott notes he was hunting with Pytchley by writing their name in parentheses. The Pytchley hunt is an organization originally based in Northamptonshire in formation as early at the 1630s. The organization is still active today. Pytchleys website notes that from 1819-1873 right as Prescott began with Pytchley for one year the Althorp and Pytchley countries were hunted by one pack with a second pack established at Brigstock. Prescott was part of the famous hunt organization at a time when it was amid significant change and expansion. His notes may keep further clue of such growth. While the huntsman himself may be unknown to history the anecdotal evidence in Prescotts diary gives us a glimpse of the Victorian man fond of his sport. <br/><br/> hardcover

25015'Royal Mint Melbourne Australia / 21 May 1875'. Barton who was born in London joined the Royal Mint’s Melbourne branch as one of two assayers on its opening in 1869; in 1887 he was promoted to Superintendent and in 1895 to Deputy Master holding that position until his reitrement in 1904. See his entry in the Encyclopaedia of Australian Science and Innovation. In case Barton has misspelled the name the recipient may be William Dawson Grubb 1817-1879 or his son Frederick William Grubb 1844-1923 who have a joint-entry in the Australian Dictionary of National Biography. 3pp 12mo. Bifolium. Signed ‘Robert Barton’. In very good condition lightly aged and folded twice for postage. Begins: ‘Dear Grubbe / I met the writer of the enclosed letter not present after you left & he told me that between us we could not have advised you to go to a worse place for the sport you want than Echuca I feel therefore that I have been instrumental although far from my intention in leading you a wild duck chase.’ He has been informed by ‘Singleton’ that ‘there are very few Kangaroo if any near Echuca & the duck are impossible to get near’. He suggests that Grubbe takes the steamer to Albury and proceeds as Singleton directs ‘& you are in a country abounding with Kangaroo & splendid duck shooting’. Barton is enclosing a note from his friend ‘to his brother who is managing the “Walla Walla†station’ and whom Grubbe will find ‘a very decent fellow. He is a batchelor sic I believe living in a large house. Ask at Albury if you are anywhere near Tumbarumba Caves because if so they are one of the finest sights of the Colonies.’ Barton wishes he had known this information before Grubbe left ‘as then you might have gone to Albury via the new line but if you elect to go from Echuca you will at all events see the river Murray’.
