"Among the deaths published in our paper this week is that that of Miss Anna Arthur only daughter of Charles Artur of this village. She was in the enjoyment of usual health until a day or two preceeding sic her death and no alarm was experienced by herself or family at the slight illness which suddenly terminated in Congestion of the brain. Miss Arthur was but seventeen years of age and was a young lady of much promise. -- The mysterious Providence which in the morning of life has removed from earth a darling child falls heavily upon the heads of a fond father and mother and a large circle of youthful friends and acquaintances. Truly we are as the flowers of the valley flourishing to day to-morrow no more! Happy visions rise before us our hearts are joyous no clouds dim the bright future when without a moments warning unseen and unknown the messenger of death lays his blightin touch upon the loved one and our hearts bleed with sorrow and refuse to be comforted."<br/><br/>Also includes a poem "Lines on the Death of Miss Anna Arthur" printed in an Essex County newspaper on Christmas day. "I gazed on a flower that modestly boomed On the breast of a maiden whom Death ahd entombed On her breast was a rose but not spirit was there.The roses that filled with their scented perfume The air which the mortals so softly did breathe: Were naought when compared witht the exquisite bloom Of those flowers that sigh where no spirit can grieve." The poems is signed off from Keeseville a small hamlet in the Adirondacks of New York. Followed by a handwritten poem "A Dirge". "Weep not for her; she died in early youth Ere Hope had lost its rih romantic hues; When human bosoms deemed that home of truth And earth still gleamed with beauty's radiant dews Her summer prime waned not to days that freeze; Her wine of line was run not the the lees; Weep not for her.Weep not for her she is an angel now And treads the sapphire floors of Paradise; All darkness wiped from her refulgent brow; Sin sorrow suffering banished from her eyes Victorious over death to her appear The vista'd joys of Heaven's eternal year; Weep not for her."<br/><br/>Includes obituary notices for members of the local community and others in the family including brother Asahel Arthur who passed in 1914. Includes handwritten poem "Rest Thee Brother." "Rest thee brother rest thee Underneath the snow; Winds shall sing a dirge for thee Murmuring waters flow."

He thinks an author is wrong in a statement saying "The duty levied under Charles I fixed in 1628 was 36 pence underlined per gross on all playing cards not 36 shillings underlined. Actually the duty was 2s. pergross but there was a further 1s. pergross payable to the Officer appointed as Receiver of the Duty. This levy was granted to the London Company or Corporation of Makers of Playing Cards." He goes on to discuss the later history of the duty on cards one increase rousing "vehement protest by the Company of Playing Card Makers. Sone years ago I went carefully through the Company's Records of Minutes. They do not record an increase in the duty in the time of Charles I but it may that there was an increase. Unfortunately there is not in existence a pack of English Playing Cards of the 17th Century." He then refers Leftwich to his book if he has a copy offering to send one if he hasn't. He concludes with discussion of excavations at Lexden including Cymbeline's 'tomb'. They were both local historians of note. He concludes "I rather hope that the prohibition of Christmas Cards for 1942 may be withdrawn or modified next year but this will depend upon the war developments .". Benham's other claim to fame is his book of quotations. [Printed heading] Essex County Standard Office, Colchester, 22 Nov. 1941. unknown

4696JAPAN. Diary. January 14 1950 to late 1954. Various places Philadelphia Japan Fort Meade. A lengthy diary of an American officer Lieutenant Louis T. Holtz who was stationed in Japan during the Korean War. It was written on dozens of sheets of loose-leaf notebook pages and it contains many black and white photographs with captions as well as newspaper and magazine cutouts and brochures from places he visited. The diary begins on January 14 1950 in Philadelphia and he discuses seeing shows and such but notes that All in all this constituted a very enjoyable ten days of leave prior to going overseas. Sometimes I wish I could stay at home and live a normal routine life like everyone else. Other times I find myself eager to goAlmost two years ago who could forecast a war in Korea and the manner in which it would rip everyones life to shreds He writes on January 2 1951 from Kurume Japan: perhaps 10 years from now it the diary will be of interest if any of our civilization remains in 1961I collapsed 28 June and spent 3 weeks in the hospital with excessive fatigueI am the Officer-in-charge of the Kurume Office with an area of jurisdiction of approximately 1000 square miles. In April 1951 he mentions I am very busy in my position as OIC Officer In Charge. Its a full 7-day-a-week jobThe Korean mess has everyone guessing as to eh future of the Far Eastbeing the senior official in an area of jurisdiction of nearly 10000 square miles with dozens of mayors and police chiefs constantly catching my every word as official. The next couple dozen pages contain black and white photographs of protests in Japan and Holtzs commentary about the images including When people get hurt propaganda fills the air. The winner: the Kremlin always! Demonstrations take planning and people. You can always be sure the plans were framed in red and the spectators sprinkled liberally with dye-hard communist stooges Demonstrations & rallies are usually fantastically well organized. And as often as not they can be unbelievably orderly and But orderly or violent you can always be sure there is a professional communist keeping the sheep in line or arousing them to maximum fury. In September 1951 Holtz writes from Sapporro life in the Armed Services has been a miserable one because of one bad experience after anotherKurume was one of the most pleasant and enjoyable assignments I ever held. The 45th was without doubt the most bitter and least enjoyable. I gave up so much for so little. Holtz was in Californias Camp Stoneman in November 1951: with all the hundreds of officers here not particularly anxious to go overseas and with several actually fighting the assignment I was amazed to find that someone eager to return is sidetracked so abruptly. He was back in Japan by December and then wrote a lengthy entry entitled The Korean Story starting with Combat precautions make it mandatory that no diaries or personal papers be kept where they may fall into enemy hands and he spends the next seven pages describing his experiences in the Korean War. Holtz wrote in part: Things had not gone well at all with Trubotas unit prior to August 1951. After my arrival working results proved very satisfactoryThree other officers has also joined up in the interim between leaving Sapporo and going to KoreaWhen oriented in Tokyo they were told that the 45th Detachment would remain in Sapporo and they had already alerted their families to start to prepare to join them overseasI had to fight Trubota in order to be able to fight the enemy. In one occasion I was reprimanded for going to a forward observation post and not being personally available to answer the telephone at my CP and the section finishes with a photograph of the USS Marine Lynx the ship that brought him home. The diary continues with his being stationed at Marylands Fort Meade. There are photographs of the mansion he occupied in Kyushu Japanese women at the beach his fellow soldiers after a bowling tournament etc. There are Samples of United Nations propaganda leaflets dropped on North Korean positions early in the Korean conflict that show Truman and MacArthur a December 7 1950 letter signed by the mayor of Kurume City Japan.

4696JAPAN. Diary. January 14 1950 to late 1954. Various places Philadelphia Japan Fort Meade. A lengthy diary of an American officer Lieutenant Louis T. Holtz who was stationed in Japan during the Korean War. It was written on dozens of sheets of loose-leaf notebook pages and it contains many black and white photographs with captions as well as newspaper and magazine cutouts and brochures from places he visited. The diary begins on January 14 1950 in Philadelphia and he discuses seeing shows and such but notes that “All in all this constituted a very enjoyable ten days of leave prior to going overseas. Sometimes I wish I could stay at home and live a normal routine life like everyone else. Other times I find myself eager to go…Almost two years ago who could forecast a war in Korea and the manner in which it would rip everyone’s life to shreds†He writes on January 2 1951 from Kurume Japan: “…perhaps 10 years from now it the diary will be of interest – if any of our civilization remains in 1961…I collapsed 28 June and spent 3 weeks in the hospital with excessive fatigue…I am the Officer-in-charge of the Kurume Office with an area of jurisdiction of approximately 1000 square miles…â€. In April 1951 he mentions “I am very busy in my position as OIC Officer In Charge. It’s a full 7-day-a-week job…The Korean mess has everyone guessing as to eh future of the Far East…being the senior official in an area of jurisdiction of nearly 10000 square miles with dozens of mayors and police chiefs constantly catching my every word as official.â€. The next couple dozen pages contain black and white photographs of protests in Japan and Holtz’s commentary about the images including “When people get hurt propaganda fills the air. The winner: the Kremlin – always!†“Demonstrations take planning and people. You can always be sure the plans were framed in red and the spectators sprinkled liberally with dye-hard communist stooges†“Demonstrations & rallies are usually fantastically well organized. And as often as not they can be unbelievably orderly†and “But orderly or violent you can always be sure there is a professional communist keeping the ‘sheep’ in line or arousing them to maximum fury.†In September 1951 Holtz writes from Sapporro “…life in the Armed Services has been a miserable one because of one bad experience after another…Kurume was one of the most pleasant and enjoyable assignments I ever held. The 45th was without doubt the most bitter and least enjoyable. I gave up so much for so little…â€. Holtz was in California’s Camp Stoneman in November 1951: “…with all the hundreds of officers here not particularly anxious to go overseas and with several actually fighting the assignment I was amazed to find that someone eager to return is sidetracked so abruptly…â€. He was back in Japan by December and then wrote a lengthy entry entitled “The Korean Story†starting with “Combat precautions make it mandatory that no diaries or personal papers be kept where they may fall into enemy hands†and he spends the next seven pages describing his experiences in the Korean War. Holtz wrote in part: “…Things had not gone well at all with Trubota’s unit prior to August 1951. After my arrival working results proved very satisfactory…Three other officers has also joined up in the interim between leaving Sapporo and going to Korea…When oriented in Tokyo they were told that the 45th Detachment would remain in Sapporo and they had already alerted their families to start to prepare to join them overseas…I had to fight Trubota in order to be able to fight the enemy. In one occasion I was reprimanded for going to a forward observation post and not being personally available to answer the telephone at my CP…†and the section finishes with a photograph of the USS Marine Lynx the ship that brought him home. The diary continues with his being stationed at Maryland’s Fort Meade. There are photographs of the mansion he occupied in Kyushu Japanese women at the beach his fellow soldiers after a bowling tournament etc. There are “Samples of United Nations propaganda leaflets dropped on North Korean positions early in the Korean conflict†that show Truman and MacArthur a December 7 1950 letter signed by the mayor of Kurume City Japan.
