2433616 February 1884; 24 Avenue Victor Hugo Paris on letterhead of the New Club Boulevard Malesherbes. According to Russell’s entry in the Oxford DNB while reporting on the Civil War he was described by one American newspaper as ‘the most famous newspaper correspondent the world has ever seen'. The inscription on his memorial in St Paul’s Cathedral calls him ‘'the first and greatest of War Correspondents'. He coined the phrase ‘thin red line’ was instrumental in the sending of Florence Nightingale to the Crimea and is said to have written the report that inspired Tennyson to write ‘The Charge of the Light Brigade’. The recipient was the proprietor of the Hotel and Restaurant Henry IV Saint-Germain-en-Laye which according to an advertisement in Galignani’s ‘New Paris Guide for 1879’ was ‘The only Hotel on the Terrace. / Highly recommended and old-established / Louis XIV. was born in this House on the 5th Sept. 1638.’. The present item is 2pp 12mo. In fair condition aged and worn with thin strip of glue from mount along the gutter. Folded twice. Signed ‘W H Russell’. He enquires after ‘un petit apartment libre pour le lundi ou mardi en cas de besoin’ at a price ‘convenable à ma fortune’. He describes the specifications he requires before noting that M. de Blonetz ma dit ce que j’ai entendu avec plaisir que vous avez garde des souvenirs aimables de moi depuis cet temp terrible 70. 71’. In a postscript he expresses anxiety that ‘il y aura une grande foule à St Germain le lundi pour les courses’. It may be that Russell attended the racing with the future King Edward VII: he was as the Oxford DNB states ‘a member of the Prince of Wales's circle though his relationship with the prince fluctuated and he deplored the depravity and obscenity of some of his set’. 16 February 1884; 24 Avenue Victor Hugo [Paris], on letterhead of the New Club, Boulevard Malesherbes, unknown

Irvine author of the Iron Highway.and others is attracting attention throughout the country by the strong and masterful manner in which he is placing the various labor and other problems before the people. It is often a fact that labor reformers and writers who address themselves to the wage-earner fail to make themselves understood." "Although some U. S. States began abolishing the death penalty most states held onto capital punishment. Some states made more crimes capital offenses especially for offenses committed by slaves. In 1838 in an effort to make the death penalty more palatable to the public some states began passing laws against mandatory death sentencing instead enacting discretionary death penalty statutes. The 1838 enactment of discretionary death penalty statutes in Tennessee and later in Alabama were seen as a great reform. This introduction of sentencing discretion in the capital process was perceived as a victory for abolitionists because prior to the enactment of these statutes all states mandated the death penalty for anyone convicted of a capital crime regardless of circumstances. With the exception of a small number of rarely committed crimes in a few jurisdictions all mandatory capital punishment laws had been abolished by 1963. Bohm 1999 " . Baker & Taylor Company hardcover
