8933Letter One: 'Camp Sebastopol. January 24th. 1856.' Letter Two: 'Camp 49 Regt Sebastopol. March 31st.'. Letter One: 12mo 4 pp. Bifolium. 75 lines of text. Clear and complete. Good on lightly-aged paper. Expresses regret at 'Morten Edens melancholy death so young & so clever as he was'. 'There is great talk of Peace. We hardly know if to believe it - few will be sorry should the news prove to be true as I think most of us have had enough fighting. Apparently refers to his sweetheart under a cypher. She has not written to him but 'London gaieties have little time for correspondence'. 'The weather here is something awful - cold & wet fogs & sleet. The place is a sea of mud up to your knees without exaggeration.' His father has sent him food and clothing. The officers are 'getting up a school for the men as the weather is too bad for drill' but 'there is no scarcity of work' with the roads requiring constant repair and 'the Minie Rifle Instruction' going on daily. 'There was a good deal of firing on Sunday night down by the Tchernaya - and we rather expected an attack however it all ended in Smoke.' The docks which he considers 'the most splendidly finished' he has ever seen 'built up of that beautiful red & blue granite' have 'all been blown up'. Letter Two: 12mo 4 pp. Bifolium. 67 lines of text. Clear and complete. Fair on aged paper with 6 cm vertical closed tear through both leaves. Containing an interesting description of 'Spring horse races' which took place 'in the Valley of the Tchernaya' as a result of an armistice. The allied armies crowded the banks on one side of the river and on the other 'the Russians let loose for the occasion'. There was much bartering - 'Knifes sic Pipes Tobacco Money and various other articles . thrown across the river attached to a stone or enveloped in mud. The river is not more than 2 or 3 yards wide at some places so that we could have plenty of conversation with our Enemies without breaking the "General order". The French were allowed by their Chiefs to cross and they appeared to get on capitally with the Russian Officers'. The French fired 101 guns in a general salute to the heir to their emperor and the British returned the salute with the same number. Regarding the outcome of 'the conferences' hears that 'you people in England are very pugilistic and are determined to have war if you can'. Considers that the British Army 'was never in better condition for a campaign' and thinks it 'a pitty to stop just now'. Gibson was still alive in 1864 when he married Georgina Eliza daughter of William Clarke. Note: "The 49th was at the battles of Alma Inkerman and Sevastopol during which three Victoria Crosses were awarded to members of the Regiment." Letter One: 'Camp Sebastopol. January 24th. 1856.' Letter Two: 'Camp 49 Regt Sebastopol. March 31st.' hardcover

11555Letter 'dated Cape Town May 10th 1797' on paper also with watermarked date '1797'. 2pp. 4to. Good on lightly-aged laid paper. Bower begins by stating that he is sending 'a Copy of a Letter which I have received from Dr Carm Smyth James Carmichael Smyth 1742-1821 of the Middlesex Hospital'. Smyth's son the future Sir James Carmichael-Smyth is 'a very fine handsome young man Lieut in the Engineers come out a Passanger sic in the same ship with us'. Bower and Smyth 'wisely went into the Boat which was lashed to the Stern Gallery to fish sharks which were following the ship - the Boat suddenly canted round in the slings upon which poor Smyth went plump into the sea'. Bower 'happened to catch hold of the Boat & by the dictate of instinct & fear together scrambled up again & got into the Stern Gallery'. The slings being 'foul' an attempt to lower the boat failed and 'poor Smyth was nearly exhausted when I jumpt from the great Cabin window & kept him up till we were both Pickt up'. Bower continues: 'I will thank you to tell his Dad that I think myself well rewarded for my Ducking by the satisfaction I derive from his Letter'. Dr Smyth has sent Bower 'a very fine field Glass' and Bower asks his father to 'tell Sandy to call on Dr Smyth if he goes to London he is a man of considerable eminence in his profession'. The doctor has 'exerted himself on my account for my promotion in the Army' and 'if he can serve either Graham or Sandy' Bower will think himself 'Greatly overpaid'. The Gentleman's Magazine of February 1800 pp.181-182 gives an unusually long entry on Captain Bower's death at 'the isle of Perrim on the Red Sea' praising his character and accomplishments. Letter 'dated Cape Town May 10th 1797', on paper also with watermarked date '1797'. unknown
