ATTENZIONE !!: Con il termine estratto (o stralcio) intendiamo riferirci ad un fascicolo contenente un articolo, completo in se, sia che esso sia stato stampato a parte utilizzando la stessa composizione sia che provenga direttamente da una rivista. Le pagine sono indicate come "da/a", ad esempio: 229/231 significa che il testo è composto da tre pagine. Quando la rivista di provenienza non viene indicata é perché ci è sconosciuta. - !! ATTENTION !!: : NOT A BOOK : “extract” or “excerpt” means simply a few pages, original nonetheless, printed in a magazine. Pages are indicated as in "from” “to", for example: 229/231 means the text comprises three pages (229, 230 and 231). If the magazine that contained the pages is not mentioned, it is because it is unknown to us.
194256696Chatham Massachusetts 1942. Typed Letter Signed. An interesting one-page letter to Andrew Coddington a soldier at a recruit training center at Fort Hancock NJ now a part of Sandy Hook National Park. On Lincoln's personal stationery dated August 19 1942. Lincoln writes that he has been ill which explains for the tardiness in his response "but be sure that it wasn't due to carelessness." Lincoln then gets personal: "I wonder where you may be just now. Events and people are moving so fast and so far in these strange days that it is hard to keep up with them. Perhaps you are somewhere the other side of the world by this time." Lincoln writes that he wished Coddington well and hopes he can visit him on Cape Cod if he is in the Chatham area. "Wherever you are I hope things are going well with you and that some of these days and in the not too far distant future you will be coming back to Cape Cod again." An interesting reflection by a well-known author during World War II. Very Good usual letters folds for mailing. <br/><br/> unknown books

I was astonished at its technical virtuosity; its recovery of a period style and the flow of its ingenious narrative. You like your invented character are surely a connoisseur of the heart; it's not cynical but it's worldly in the best sense not mondain; but wise.

"I am sending you a very good book about the 1929 crash. I am sure there are many more which you can find in the library but you won%u2019t need much research.

General Pershing writes to Lincoln MacVeagh founder and president of The Dial Press thanking him for sending "a copy of Mr. Mottram's work 'The Spanish Farm Trilogy'. I appreciate very much your kind thought of me". The letter is signed in full "John J. Pershing". The World War I novel which Pershing mentions centers on a Flemish farm woman around whom the author relates his war experiences. MacVeagh published the work at his Dial Press in 1927 the year of this letter. Folded for mailing with some light creases to the edges and inner corners. Very good. <p>A wonderful association as "With the American Expeditionary Force in World War 1 Mr. MacVeagh served in the Artois St. Mihiel and Meuse Argonne campaigns as an aide to the commanding general of the 80th Division and of the Ninth and Sixth Army Corps. He rose to major and was cited by General of the Armies John J. Pershing in 1919 for exceptionally meritorious services". - Quoted from the New York Times January 17 1972 issue.<p>John Joseph Pershing 1860-1948 nicknamed "Black Jack" was a senior United States Army officer. He served most famously as the commander of the American Expeditionary Forces during World War I from 1917 to 1920. Pershing is the only American to be promoted in his own lifetime to General of the Armies the highest possible rank in the United States Army.<p>Lincoln MacVeagh 1890-1972 a Renaissance man graduated from Harvard magna cum laude in 1913. He went on to study languages at the Sorbonne and became fluent in German French Spanish Latin Greek and Classical Greek. After World War I he became a director of the Henry Holt and Company publishing firm where he became friendly with the poet Robert Frost. In 1923 he left the firm and founded the Dial Press. His name appears on the imprint of many of their publications. In 1933 President Roosevelt appointed him Minister to Greece. He followed presentation of his credentials with a speech in Classical Greek. While in Greece he conducted excavations beneath the Acropolis and made archeological contributions to the National Museum in Athens. He left Greece in 1941 when the German army over ran the country. From there he was appointed the first US Minister to Iceland where he negotiated agreements for the construction of the Keflavik airfield. In late 1942 he became Minister to the Union of South Africa and coordinated American wartime agencies there. In 1943 he was sent to Cairo as Ambassador so that he could assist the governments in exile of Greece and Yugoslavia. He returned to Athens as Ambassador in 1944. MacVeagh gave secret testimony before Congress concerning the Balkans in 1947 testimony that was an important factor in the formation of the Truman Doctrine. In 1948 as Ambassador to Portugal MacVeagh was influential in admitting her into NATO. In 1952 President Truman named him Ambassador to Spain. President Truman wrote to him on March 9 1948: "On the occasion of your appointment as Ambassador to Portugal I would like to make some personal expression of appreciation for the high services you have already rendered your country. During the past fifteen critical years you have served with distinction as Chief of the United states Missions to Iceland the Union of South Africa Yugoslavia and Greece. In this last post especially - as Minister from 1933 to 1941 and as Ambassador since 1943 - your scholarly statesmanship and diplomatic judgment have been of the utmost value."

52222This journalist and businessman co-founded the publishing giant Simon & Schuster with his friend Richard Simon in 1924 and for the next few decades published numerous notable works in many fields. TLS 1p 8" X 10" New York NY 17 January 1939. Addressed to Joe Laurie care of The Lambs Club. Very good. Two faint horizontal folds and light age toning. Interesting letter on "The Inner Sanctum of Simon and Schuster" letterhead in which Schuster plugs a book idea to vaudeville radio and Broadway performer Laurie 1892-1954. Schuster quotes a lengthy book idea given him by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer advertising manager Silas "Si" Seadler 1897-1981 reading in part: "For years some of America's most famous anecdotes have emanated from the Lambs Club. Last night I attended one of their functions and it occurred to me that a book could be made up of the favorite Lambs Club tales of their celebrated membership. I spoke to Bill Gaxton actor and Lambs club president who was our host and with Victor Moore comedian and actor who was in the party. They thought it was a corking idea and Moore told me that Joe Laurie Jr. now in California I think had made it a hobby to collect these anecdotes. Moore thought that Laurie would be the right person to get for such a chore." He concludes "How does this strike you We'd be interested in seeing an outline and some sample material as a basis for consideration." Boldly signed in green ink. Schuster is shaking the bushes in passing along this notion to Laurie and while no book came of it perhaps Schuster planted a seed -- Laurie did later publish "Cream of the Crop" 1947 "Show Biz: From Vaude to Video" 1951 and "Vaudeville: From the Honky-Tonks to the Palace" 1953. unknown

1871334508New York 1871. Unbound. Near Fine. Two printed tickets each with a mounted albumen photograph in cabinet card format 4.25 x 6.25 inches. The back side of each ticket has a faint printed design on white glazed paper. Both tickets are neatly trimmed along the right edge near fine with a few tiny perimeter tears and light toning. The first ticket from 1870 has a mounted albumen photograph of a painting by A.H. Ritchie of Lincoln with his cabinet reading the Emancipation Proclamation. The second ticket from 1871 has a mounted albumen photograph of a statue of Lincoln reading a newspaper with Grant and whom we believe is Gideon Wells. The Lincoln Union Social Club a pro-Republican party function held its first ball in New York City in 1870. These two ephemeral items tickets for the first and second balls are not to be confused with the invitations that preceded them. Of the two the tickets may be a rarer survival. We know of only one other copy of the 1870 ticket at the Library of Congress. unknown books
