185135415Georgetown: n/a 1851. Letter. Good. Letter. Approx. 8" x 10". 1 page of writing. Paper previously removed from a glass frame. Tissue repairs on the edges. Paper has multiple folds. According to a note found on the back of the glass frame William Mann addressed this letter to Col. William S. Amweg a pension attorney near Lancaster Pennsylvania area in the years 1849-1851. The number 200 is written top of the paper. Unfortunately the note affixed to the back of the frame is now missing. Col. Amweg's name is not found in this document.<br /> <br /> The letter transcribed as best as possible reads: "Georgetown June 8 1851 Sir Having heard not reading that there was an appropriation being made for the last legislative body appropriating a sum of $30000 dollars for defraying the expenses of the First & Second Pennsylvania volunteers in Mexico and not being to the whole circumstance belonging to the Co. of First Pennsylvania Ridgement under Colonel Wincape and Lt. Col. Samuel Black therefore I wish you to intercede for me and lose nothing. I have great acquaintances in your place Rea Frarer Jones B. Canfuier Dr. Casally &c. which will certify that I was there. Reece was there also. The reference would be to Brigadier General John Bennet of Philadelphia who was my captain in Mexico and who would be a friend in need. Just ask for I cannot say much at present but request an answer respecting these things and oblige yours most respectively William Mann. P.S. I would inform you that when I landed in Philadelphia I was sickly and destitute of friends that I sold my discharge papers for the sake of getting home decently and therefore have no certificate to show but making reference to General Bennet Jr. can be had nothing more at present but remain yours &c William Mann. Excuse my bad spelling for I am no scholar. Please direct to post office. n/a unknown
18530001197COUDERSPORT PENNSYLVANIA POTTER COUNTY 1853. On offer is an original manuscript letter handwritten by an important local Quaker reformer and Underground Railroad figure John S. Mann 1816-1879 who was a Quaker lawyer born in Chester County Pennsylvania. He was a teacher but moved to Coudersport in 1841. He studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1842. He was a member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives 1866-1868 1871; School Director 1858-1872 Coudersport Burgess 1862-1865; and Editor of the Potter Journal 1874-1879. Mann was the Underground Railroad "Stationmaster" for Coudersport which was an important stop on the route used by escaping slaves. Both his home and the building where his wife's bookstore was located were used to hide slaves. The latter even had a secret room. His son Arthur said as a young boy it was "not uncommon to find a colored person at the breakfast table". This letter dated Nov 8 1853 concerns settlers on the owner's lands addressed to 'Dear Sir' but most likely to John Keating elderly land owner of much land in Potter County Pennsylvania. Mann was an agent for John Keating 1760-1856 an Irish-French immigrant who bought 200000 acres in northern Pennsylvania in 1796 and began selling it the next year. "Coudersport Nov 8 1853 Dr Sir On my return I went to your lands as you suggested and made contracts with those settlers which had not already entered into contract. I succeeded in obtaining a contract with all but two and one of them was willing to do so but his improvement had been sold at sheriff's sale and the purchaser did not live in this county. The other one refused to contract and says he will hold by possession . I am satisfied he cannot and I think Mr. Harwick ought to take his lot at his own risk as I can furnish you a purchaser who will take his contract and not ask you to guarantee the possession of any of the lots. It took me so long to get over the tract that I am unable to make out a statement of the amount due on the old contracts and so I enclose thirteen of them herewith. Will send the new contracts by next mail together with a draft of the tracts showing the amount and location of the lots sold Yours truly Jno S. Mann". A receiving notation gives Mann's name again.

1900010662Richmond Virginia 1900. Envelope or Cover. Very good. This business envelope bears the printed return address of Valentine’s Meat-Juice Company of Richmond Virgina. It was sent from Richmond to the Director of the Private Maternity Hospital of Berlin Germany. It is franked with a 5-cent Grant stamp Scott #281 that has been canceled with a Barry Postal Supply Company machine postmark dated 21 February 1900. The reverse is filled with assorted postal labels handstamps in various colors and manuscript annotations related to its delivery despite having an insufficient address. In nice shape.<br /> <br /> <p>In downtown Richmond Mann S. Valentine a prosperous merchant lived with his family in a large neoclassical home. In 1870 his wife Anne Maria fell ill from a “severe and protracted derangement of the organs of digestion†that prevented her from eating solid food. Doctors had given up on curing Anne Maria so Valentine took it upon himself to concoct his own highly concentrated protein and iron tonic which he distilled from a mix of eggs and beef broth. It worked wonders. <br /> <br /> <p>Valentine ever a merchant began to create more which sold well in his store. Seeing the possibility of ever-increasing sales he began to canvass local then regional then nationally known physicians for their endorsements. Some replied with glowing reviews reporting they used it effectively not just as a nutritional supplement but as a treatment for everything from nausea to dysentery and cholera. Valentine began to publish these reviews in advertisements and business boomed. He took his meat juice to the International Paris Exposition in 1878 and introduced it to a global market. Recognizing the importance of physician recommendations Valentine began to contact European doctors for their endorsements. This envelope was no doubt used for that purpose.<br /> <br /> <p>In 1906 the newly created Food and Drug Administration began its crackdown on patent medicines. Seeing the writing on the wall Valentine stopped promoting his meat juice as a curative and began to market it as a cooking supplement for flavoring various dishes. As such it was even more popular than medicine and became a staple on grocery store shelves throughout the country for years until demand finally wore off and the factory located at Brook Road and Chamberlayne Avenue shut its doors.</p> . Valentine amassed a fortune during the last quarter of the 19th century and became an inveterate collector of art and artifacts. In his will he provided a large endowment to establish a museum to house his collection and it much expanded continues in operation as the famed Valentine Museum in Richmond.</p> <br /> <br /> <p>For more information see “The history of Valentine’s Meat Juice†at the RIC Today website and Castellano’s “In the 1800s Valentine’s Meant a Bottle of Meat Juice†at the Atlas Obscura website.<br /> <br /> <p>Old meat juice bottles are frequently sold on or encountered in antique malls. Company envelopes used to request endorsements from domestic physician endorsements occasionally appear on or in philatelic auctions. Evidence of Valentines attempts to secure international professional recommendations are seldom encountered; this is the first we have seen.</p> . unknown
