16769On letterhead of the Langham Hotel Portland Place London England. 'Dec 3d. 1872 5 PM'. 2pp. 12mo. Bifolium. In fair condition aged and creased with traces of a grey paper mount on the reverse of the second leaf which also has a closed tear unobtrusively repaired with archival tape. Addressing his letter to 'Mr Edwin sic Draper Vincent Square Westminster' he apologises profusely for missing an appointment: 'Before leaving the theatre Saturday evening last I made a memorandum of the hour appointed to call at your residence to day.' At the time of the writing of the letter 5p.m. he has 'just been looking for your card and place of residence and find that I should have called at 3 1/2 PM instead of 5 1/2 as I had got it in my head'. He hopes that Draper will not think him 'ungenerous' and assures him that the visit would have given him great pleasure. In 1867 having returned to his Wisconsin farm after serving in the Union army Bates made a bet with a neighbour that he could not walk through the southern states with the Union flag owing to the bitterness and Confederate sentiments of the southerners. Having been reported on by Mark Twain Bates won his bet as everywhere he went he was greeted with kindness. 1872 saw a similar bet $1000 to Bates's $100 when he repeated his perambulations in England then considered to be harbouring Confederate sympathies. Such was the positive response that halfway through the English march he cabled back to America: 'Cancel wager. I regard this mission as something finer than a matter of money.' On letterhead of the Langham Hotel, Portland Place, London, England. 'Dec 3d. 1872 | 5 PM'. unknown

1950218504Japan: Camp Whittington Kagohara Japan. 1950. Ten black and white original photographs of members of the battalion attached with staples at corners to leaves of the album a colour photograph is loosely inserted 5 12pp 15.2 x 24cm cord ties corners bumped cellotape repair corners upper cover a little staining around outer margins leaves not affecting the photographs wrappers worn lower wrapper stained. Although showing signs of use and age the photographs are in good condition. Scarce. A photograph album of the 82nd Battalion's Organization Day at Camp Whittington which was located in Kagohara Saitama Prefecture.<br><br>The album was compiled to mark the anniversary of the Battalion's founding which fell on 6 June 1950. This is significant because that date was just three weeks before the outbreak of the Korean War. This collection of photos thus shows up the battalion on the eve of war. The first five pages give a history of the battalion from its founding in 1917 through the Second World War when it was deployed to Australia and saw action in the Pacific to occupation of Japan where it was based at "Camp Whittington" near Kagohara in Saitama Prefecture. The cover photo shows the entrance to the base. <br> <br>The black and white photographs show the members of the battalion and are accompanied by a list of the members' names. One of the photographs is taken with Mt. Fuji in the background. There are also photos of the camp's main buildings and of members of the battalion with their unit's ceremonial shield. Interestingly a previous owner has inserted his own colour photo of a 82nd Battalion veteran's reunion held at Fort Hood Texas in 1995 though the only name which appears both in the album and on the 1995 photo appears to be that of John A. Skidmore. <br>The Japanese Imperial Army established its Army Air Training School at Kagohara in 1935. After the camp was returned to the Japanese government in 1958 the base has been used by the Japanese Air Defence Force as a training school. . Camp Whittington Kagohara Japan. unknown

Large folio broadside folded horizontally and vertically slightly creased. ESTC T232440. An interesting and attractive collection of 21 publications relating to the Honourable Artillery Company established in the Old Artillery Gardens at Spitalfields which was incorporated by royal charter in the reign of Henry VIII and is therefore the oldest surviving regiment in the British army. The term artillery was all encompassing initially including longbowmen crossbowmen and grenadiers; indeed the nascent Grenadier Guards and Royal Marines were both formed by members of the HAC during the second half of the seventeenth-century. Drawn largely from men in the vicinity of the City of London it became a City institution and a bastion of establishment order; until 1780 responsible for the officer training of London 'trained bands' of militia serving in the same year to help restore order to London during the Gordon Riots and later acting in a policing capacity in the metropolis. Varying from the most ephemeral circular letter or programme of an eighteenth-century firework display through a large broadside defence against legal moves on the Company's house ground and estates by the Court of Lieutenancy to the official officer lists and prospectuses of the HAC this collection covers a period of change for the Company. An era in which membership of Company swelled not least thanks to the threat of French invasion but also as the purpose of it began to morph however glacially from the hard-headed metropolitan military organisation of the early modern period to the increasingly civil and ceremonial position it occupies today. The majority of items in this generally fresh condition collection are rare with ESTC recording fewer than five British locations and in many cases just one or two locations generally BL and the HAC itself. There are few if any holdings in North America for this material recorded by ESTC. . Folio 8vo and others. [vs.], 1786-1813 unknown

118372An albumen paper photograph 143 × 203 mm with the top corners arched within a hand-drawn thin red ink double-rule border on the original plain card mount 267 × 367 mm; apart from a few light marks to the mount and a little bit of tanning near the right-hand edge of the print the item is in excellent condition. No pertinent details - when where and why the photograph was taken and by whom - are known and the later pencilling on the verso a price and what seems to be a name adds nothing. From first principles we suggest the 1860s 'somewhere in England' a training exercise and an 'official' photographer and there seem to be a couple of women in the middle distance on the right. unknown
