26050The draft of the meeting with Mehmet Ali after his return from his travels in April 1837 and published in November of that year. One of the other items dated 18 April 1841 from 103 Westbourne Terrace London. Another from Midhurst 20 June 1856. See his entry in the Oxford DNB. ONE: Autograph draft of conclusion of description of his meeting with Mehmet Ali ‘Mehemet Ali’. The ODNB states that in July 1836 Cobden produced a pamphlet ‘which analysed the Russo-Turkish dispute . attempting to play down the Turcophilia that was rife in Britain in the 1830s. In October Cobden embarked on a long tour sailing via Lisbon Gibraltar and Malta to the eastern end of the Mediterranean as far as Constantinople meeting Mehmet Ali in Egypt before returning via Greece in April 1837.’ The present text is the conclusion of the draft manuscript of the account he gave of that meeting and had published in Tait’s Edinburgh Magazine in November 1838. 1p foolscap 8vo. The page is headed ‘20’ and carries ten lines of text one and a half lines of which are deleted. Lightly aged worn and creased. On reverse in pencil in a contemporary hand: ‘Cobden / M. S. S His work in Turkey’. The text reads with deleted passage in square brackets: ‘Often in recurring to my interview with this extraordinary man - the spring-like elasticity of whose mind evinces its power in proportion as it is pressed - and recollecting the eagerness of his enquiries upon practical subjects - as well as the vehemence of manner with which he sustained his opinions - evincing the spring-like elasticity of mind which manifests its power in proportion as it is pressed - I think with pleasure of the refreshing & animating scene not unmixed with regret that I shall probably never again have the opportunity of chatting with old Mehemet Ali’. TWO: Slip of paper cut from the beginning of a letter in the third person with reverse blank. In fair condition lightly aged. Reads: ‘Mr Cobden presents his compliments to Mr Cornwall Lewis & begs to forward for presentation to the Lords of the Treasury a memorial’.

The draft of the meeting with Mehmet Ali after his return from his travels in April 1837, and published in November of that year unknown

A Letter from a Collections Agent Warning of Pending Collections for Negro Bonds 1876

1876List2319Lancaster 1876. Single page measuring 9 ½ x 6 inches. Some tears at folds near fine. Near Fine. An interesting letter deserving further study regarding the legal fallout for defaults on Negro Bonds following Emancipation a question of significant economic impact for the finances of ex-enslavers as a significant amount of private debt endured following Emancipation. The author a collections agent warns B.H. Massey Esquire of pending actions to pursue damages for defaults on Negro Bonds for the sum of $10000 based on the fact that Massey acted as Receiver of the bonds when they were issued. It is unclear whether Massey was Allison’s client at the time or if he intended to pursue collections actions against him. We find no record of the case. Full transcription follows: Kershaw Allison & Connors Correspondent American Attorneys Collection Association All Legal Business Attended To. Collections a specialty. Lancaster S.C. Sept. the 14th 1876 B. H. Massey Esq. Dear Sir My impression is that Blackwell Wilson is going to try to charge you with the three notes which you signed as though you had collected the money thereon - taking the ground that the moment you were appointed Receiver that in contemplation of law by the act of such appointment these notes by operation of Law were eo instanti paid. And I confess that there is great danger to you in this unless you can show that there was failure of consideration in the Negro bonds - that is that the Negroes were unsound. I deem it my duty to apprise you of the danger so that you may be prepared for it if it should come. I do not know how you have your affairs arranged. If you can show failure of consideration of the Negro bonds we can either take testimony to that effect or have an issue referred to a jury. Let me know what defense you could make to any of the bonds. Yours truly &c. R. E. Allison. I think the notes that he desires to charge you with Prin. & Interest will amount to exceeding ten thousand Dollars. An interesting document relating to Reconstruction-era law that should provide insight into some of the legal strategies at play regarding the collections of debt. unknown
