1857List2022Washington 1857. Autograph letter measuring 8 x 5 inches bifolium with free franked stampless cover. Fine condition. Fine. An interesting letter written by James W. Denver written while he was serving as Commissioner of Indian Affairs describing crime on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in 1857. He writes:<br /> “We have great times on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. For a long time past merchandise has been lost along the line by being thrown out of the cars while under way some of the confederates being ready to pitch them up and sell them. To put a stop to this the Directors ordered the cars when loaded to be sealed up and not to be opened until they should arrive at the place of destination. The conductors took offense and said that this was a reflection on them quit the trains and would not let anybody else take their places. In order to prevent this they attacked the trains passing Ellicott’s Mills and succeeded in turning back all but one. Today it was rumored that the Plug Uglies had possession of the track between Baltimore and the Relay House but this is hardly so as a train has I am told arrived here this evening. This is a very extraordinary affair as it is in fact an effort to give greater license to stealing and from the way they have acted there is not much doubt but the conductors were engaged in the plundering.â€<br /> The Plug Uglies first operated in Baltimore beginning in 1854. Several iterations of the Nativist gang eventually formed all of which were referred to by the same name. They would be involved a month later in the Know Nothing Riot in Washington D.C. in June of 1857 the same month that Denver would gain his appointment as Secretary of Kansas Territory. <br /> <br /> <br /> Full text follows:<br /> <br /> My Dear Wife<br /> The cheerful tone of your letter of the 28th ult. pleases me very much. I hope and trust that will be ever thus. A light heart and cheerful disposition makes life a perennial springtime. There is nothing like it. Keep up your sprits ever thus and besides being the pride of my life you will be my light also—the polar star of my existence.<br /> <br /> O Lou! how lonely I feel here at times without you! Were we only together how much more pleasantly would the time pass away. Still I have no great reason to complain of fortune but ought rather to be thankful for the great boon she has vouchsafed to me in making you mine for life. To know this it is easy to imagine a good angel always hovering near me giving warning of besetting dangers and urging me on to greater usefulness and then to dream of the bright approving smiles of her I love so well. And though distant I doubt not but they are as sweet and as kind as though present and palpable to my vision. Well well what must be I suppose must be and we must grin and bear it; but I wish you were here and not the subject of mere dreams and imaginings.<br /> <br /> We have great times on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad.

1838List2426Republic of Texas 1838. Stampless letter folded with red two-line handstamp of Steam Packet Columbia on January 16 1838 from Brazoria Tex. to New Orleans. Fine condition. Fine. An intriguing letter written by Edmund Andrews a judge in Brazoria Texas who had arrived in Stephen Austin’s colony eight years before he penned this in 1830. The letter is written to John K. West the New Orleans attorney who was an original member of the notorious “New Orleans Associates.†Andrews discusses a conversation he had on behalf of West with John Austin Wharton who would die later in 1838 relating that Andrews had a conversation with Wharton on West’s behalf. The conversation with Wharton revolved around a man with the last name Chase and Andrew Mills who had both left Texas presumably and traveled to Kingston Jamaica where Mills was hanged for an undisclosed crime. Andrews writes that Wharton related that that Mills told him he “would not have done it if he had not been drunk†presumably talking about the crime for which he was hanged. Overall a very intriguing letter relating to crime exile and misdeeds in the Republic of Texas which should be of interest to scholars of the Republic. <br /> <br /> Full text follows:<br /> <br /> Brazoria Jan'y 16 1838<br /> <br /> Mr. John K. West<br /> Sir <br /> <br /> Since I wrote to you in reply to yours under date 19th ulto. I have seen Col. John A. Wharton upon the subject contained in your favor. He says he does not recollect who the person was referred to in yours but recollects to have heard Haney speak of it and says he Haney told him that he actually saw Andrew Mills hung and says he described the rope he was hung with. Col. Wharton seems to think Haney's statement entitled to credit. <br /> <br /> These facts can be known if they are really facts by sending a commission to Kingston Jamaica for although both Chase and Mills had no doubt assumed names yet a person of so much notoriety as Capt. John Chase must have been known to some there.<br /> <br /> Haney said Mills begged him when he saw him in Kingston never to make known his fate and that he would not have done it if he had not been drunk. The foregoing is the substance of the conversation held with Col. J. A. Wharton. <br /> <br /> I am yours truly <br /> Edmund Andrews. unknown

182787802Albany: D. M'Glashan 1827. First and Only Edition. Octavo in 4's. 24cm. Stab bound pages with the title page serving as the front cover and no trace that the pamphlet was ever bound. 35pp. Some mild chipping to edges and extremities most notably the upper right corner toning and soiling to wraps; internally clean but uniformly toned with offsetting from the type throughout edges untrimmed luxuriously wide margins some traces of careless opening in places. Very good by dint of survival and solidity rather than beauty the paper is cheap and the pamphlet was printed to leverage opportunity rather than posterity.<br /> <br /> A notable and at the time highly controversial trial dealing with what was later referred to as "The Murder at Cherry Hill." The prominent New York Van Rensselaer family owned and lived at Cherry Hill Farm in Albany the daughter Elsie was married somewhat unhappily to John Whipple and fell for a younger man she met in a bar by the name of Jesse Strang. The couple fell in love Elsie expressed her deep unhappiness with Whipple; Strang masquerading under the name of Jesse Orton took on a job at the farm and began an affair with Elsie which was maintained by the house staff many of whom were enslaved people of color whose testimonies were heard at the trial passing notes between the two. Elsie chafing somewhat at having to endure her legal husband resolved that he must die to make way for Strang and they would run away together to Canada. <br /> <br /> The first plan was arsenic poisoning which failed. What Elsie lacked in poisoning ability she made up for with murderous intent and she purchased a rifle removed the ammunition from her now somewhat suspicious husband's gun and induced Strang who does not come across as the sharpest tool in the shed to shoot Whipple dead. Strang then attempted to fabricate an alibi which did not hold up and he was arrested. What followed was a widely publicised trial in which both defendants turned on each other Elsie's status as the daughter of prominent landowners was leveraged as protection from any serious punishment and Strang bore the brunt of the law. He had of course further doomed himself by attempting to plant evidence lying under several oaths and generally being one of the less gifted murderers of the early 19th century; he was hanged Elsie went home to Cherry Hill the Van Rensselaer's invested heavily in local collective amnesia and the rest of the US stared somewhat incredulously and gossiped over their breakfast grits. <br /> It was a carnival of awfulness that posed many questions about the societal rights and freedoms of women the privileges of wealth and the integrity of the judicial system. Fairly represented in institutions with 20 examples in US libraries but scarce in commerce and usually in later binding. D. M'Glashan unknown
