19090001445CEYLON SRI LANKA MALAYA MALAYSIA SUMATRA JAVA. Good. 1909. On offer is an original sensational October 14th 1909 through April 2nd 1910 manuscript diary detailing a six month visit to Ceylon Sri Lanka Malaya Malaysia Sumatra Java Singapore and Calcutta India. Of great significance are detailed reports on twenty-nine tea rubber and sugar plantations handwritten by the author Alfred William Lafone b. 1853 wherein he writes on 68 pp of the 85 pp folio notebook. The first sixteen pages consist of a businesslike diary of the trip starting at Charing Cross Station London on 14 October 1909 and ending with Lafone's return 'home' on 2 April 1910 to be 'met by Father' i.e. the one-time Conservative MP for Bermondsey Alfred Lafone 1821-1911 of Hanworth Park Hounslow. It would appear that the younger Lafone has been sent out to report on plantations with a view to the purchase of one by his father. He writes on May 25th 1910: 'Handed cable from home by Huttenbacks "If Title Good labour sufficient 500 yearly 1000 if required on good properties."' Lafone records his travels from place to place by boat train motor car and on horseback. He notes down the names of fellow travellers for example on 14 November 1909: 'Mr & Mrs Tate of Tate and Lyle also on board. Also Douglas Osborne tin miner who put me down for the Club. Davie Bishop of Singapore Davison who stopped at E & Ott with me. Josselyn.' He swims plays tennis and golf at the course of the Grand Hotel Newra Elya Nuwara Eliya and at Penang. At a tobacco factory at Paya Djamboe he sees 'the Chinese stapling & sorting the leaf'. The references to India and Singapore are brief and the main body of the item is devoted to the plantations. Each of the thirty estates has its own entry the whole covering forty-nine pages. Those visited are as follows. In Ceylon: Troy Estate Ceylon Proprietary Co.; Sunnycroft Sunnygama Tea & Rubber Cos.; Kiribatgalla; Ambadeniya; Edinborough sic Tea Estate; Culloden Rubber Estate; R. P. K. Kalubara district. In Malaya: Caledonia Penang Sugar Co.; Prye rubber sugar coconut; Batukawan; Straits Bertams; Jebong Perak; Linggi Plantations Bukit Nanas Estate; Sungei Buloh; Ledbury Co. Estate Sione; Batu Caves; Consolidated Malay; Lallang Estate; Mallacca Estates. In Sumatra: Simpang Sumatra Rubber Estate; Mr. Pinckneys Estate private rubber only; Lang Kat Sumatra Rubber Co.; Deli Sumatra Laut Tador; Tandjong Kassau. In Malaya again: United Serdang; United Langkat Tobacco Co.; Late British Deli & Langkat; Sealing Rubber Estates Tebbi Tingi. In Java: Tjiseroe Estate. In India: Bokel Estate tea. With each entry Lafone notes the proprietor of the estate its manager and location as well as salient facts such as altitude acreage drainage nature and price of labour rainfall altitude tapping. Each entry has a final paragraph summing up his view. Of the Late British Deli & Langkat: 'Placing an Englishman in charge when all the assistants were Dutch was a mistake'. Of the Batu Kawan: 'The policy to follow on this Estate is to either plant cocoa nuts only This is a safe or sound investment. The alternative is to reconstruct the factory & utilise say 2000 acres for cane & the rest for cocoanuts but no rubber the following added in pencil To put it briefly this is a wretched estate - signed A. W. Lafone 23/11/09'. Following an account with brief chronology and statistics of the way in which on the Bokel Tea Estate India the 'old tea is being abandoned & new tea being put out at rate of about 25 acres per acre': 'The mistake in the past has been to take everything out of the garden & put nothing into it. There should be at least 10% renewals or additional clearances every year'. The entry for the Linggi Plantations contains a diagram headed '1/4 of tree' showing the process of tapping. The last three pages carry names and addresses. A few entries in another hand; perhaps Lafone's son 32 x 20 cm. 36 lines to the page. Text clear and complete.

18790008155BINGHAM MAINE. Good. 1879. On offer is an interesting little diary of a farm wife in rural Maine in mid-19th century America. It measures 4.75 inches by 3.25 inches and contains 60 pages plus memoranda. The binding covers and pages are in good condition. The handwriting is in pencil and although faded somewhat is legible. Also included in the diary are a number of pieces of ephemera. Alice Goodrich was born in 1853 in the village of Bingham ME. She married in 1873 and had 3 children. She passed away in 1908 at the age of 54. Married to Granville Goodrich she lived on a farm near the village. Her household is a busy one. She kept this diary for 1879. In 1878 she had given birth to her first child a son named Claude. The next year she would give birth to the first of two daughters. In addition her husband's parents lived with them. In addition to keeping the home and helping on the farm she also taught school on occasion. The diary is a fine record of the daily events in this woman's life. She spends her days cleaning repapering the rooms in the house knitting spinning wool sewing and cooking. She also notes the comings and goings of her husband family members friends and acquaintances. "Cooling some this morning. Mrs. G and Gran have gone to the village. Gran and I went over to Cooley's " Feb 15; "Gran has gone to the village on foot. Have been mopping the floor. Charlie sick all night" Apr 19; "Went to Waterville to see Barnum Show.

This is a delightful record of daily life in a small farming village in Maine. It is an excellent resource for local historian as she mentions many people by their full name.
