179<p>Collection of seven pieces of incoming correspondence on thirteen sheets primarily related to the missionary career of Alonzo Eugene Austin 1837-1915 in Sitka Alaska including a letter from a young Tlingit woman and former pupil Olinda James Bailey along with a remarkable letter entirely in Chinese related to the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church apparently composed by two Chinese Christians at the time of their departure from New York in 1899 and likely retained as a curio by the Austin family.</p><p>Alonzo E. Austin served as Presbyterian missionary in Sitka Alaska from between 1879 to 1898 before returning to New York. While in Sitka Austin and his daughter Olinda became the first teachers at a local school in Sitka which became the predecessor to the Sitka Industrial and Training School having first instructed Russian children before reopening the school for Alaska Natives. The present archive is largely related to Austin's work in Sitka and includes an 1893 letter from The Board of Home Missions related to the church an 1898 three page letter from Selma Peterson a Scandinavian missionary in Alaska and a 1915 letter from the Woman's Board of Home Missions with a partial list of names of Austin's students from Sitka related to a photograph taken there which has been added to by Austin's daughter Charlotte Hall.</p><p>The most significant piece related to Austin's work in Sitka is a letter sent to him in 1910 by a former Alaska Native student Olinda James 1890-1978 who was likely named for Austin's daughter and fellow teacher Olinda Austin Ayers. James' letter is a striking testament to the continued closeness between a former missionary educator and a young Tlingit woman. James writes of having just received a photograph sent to her by the Austins: "I got the picture you send me I am more than glad to get get it I thought it was only a dream when I got it." She goes on to briefly reminisce about having spent "five years four months" in school and asks Austin if he remembers a fellow student Lizzie Kadashan who recently married Olinda's brother Ray James.</p><p>Included in this collection is the aforementioned letter entirely in Chinese by Lin Dezhi Lin Lianfang æž—å¾·æ¤ èŽ²èŠ³ å—付 written in February 1899 apparently to members of Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church on their departure from New York. A translation of the letter is as follows:</p><p><em>May God grant us grace and blessings. Gentlemen as leaders of our church brethren may you guide us to do more good deeds bear more good fruit and receive the Lord's favor. During each prayer please pray on my behalf for a safe journey. Here I bid farewell to my dear elder brothers. May you also receive God's protection and have a safe journey when you return to your hometowns. Wherever you may be may you do more good deeds receive the Lord's blessings prosper in wealth thrive in business and soon welcome better times. This is my heartfelt wish. I kindly request that you brothers pass this letter on to Mr. Dao. I would be most grateful. I plan to set sail on the twelfth day of the second month of the Tang calendar which is Thursday. After receiving this letter please pray to the Lord for blessings on my behalf. This is my greatest hope. At the same time I wish you all well. To the brothers of the Presbyterian Church on 55th Street please also take note. </em><br /><em>February 10 1899 </em><br /><em>Your brother </em><br /><em>Lin Dezhi Lin Lianfang</em></p><p>This bookseller has been unable to trace any record of the author or the Mr. Dao referred to in the letter. Given that the letter is addressed in such a way that he would have then been staying with the recipients of the letter before his departure it is likeliest that these recipients would have been in New York and related to Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church which is mentioned at the end especially as the letter was retained in a New York family collection. The recipients could well have been other Chinese Christians then staying in New York or the letter could also have been a ceremonial present to given before departure to non-Chinese missionary hosts.</p><p>In all the collection represents an important record of one missionary's life and his connections to the Pacific world both indigenous and East Asian. Letters by Alaska Natives from this period are scarce both in commerce and in public archives as are letters in Chinese by Chinese Christians while in the United States.</p>
185343554Tacubaya 1853. First edition. Loose leaves disbound from a later made-up volume. Overall very good. 77 pp. on 43 leaves some folded. Folio. Beginning on June 1 1853 shortly after Santa Anna's return to Mexico as dictator and ending December 29 1853 just two weeks after he extended his rule indefinitely and had himself given the title of "most serene highness" these documents cover a period of three leaders in the Ministry of War and Navy: Jose Maria Tornel y Mendivil Juan Suárez y Navarro and Lino J. Alcorta; all prominent santannistas. Eight are issued by Tornel the most federalist of Santa Anna's advisors who fell ill and died in September 1853; ten are issued by Juan Suárez y Navarro chief administrator of the Ministry of War -the first document noting "por enfermedad de su S. E. J. Suarez Navarro" on September 10th- who coveted the position as Minster of War and Navy but broke with Santa Anna just three weeks later when Lino J. Alcorta was appointed minister in his stead and who issued the remaining twenty- nine documents. Thirteen of the documents are printed; 34 are in manuscript either originals or perhaps manuscripts reproduced by an early form heliography. Similar documents were described by Dr. W. Michael Mathes in a 2004 auction catalogue as "an early form of holography i.e. heliography using a concentrated beam of sunlight to transfer text a process employed in Mexico during a brief period between 1850 and 1856 for short runs and to avoid printing delays and costs. Lithography was impractical for such short-run imprints as it was extraordinarily costly took weeks and presented difficulties in reproducing the writer’s hand." In a few instances the date on the manuscript documents differs from that of the later publication. The documents are primarily concerned with bringing professionalism and discipline to the army and the nation stemming desertions and bolstering the draft though exempting indigenous peoples punishing theft and corruption building fortifications and other public works increasing weaponry and creating militias. OCLC locates no copies of any of these individual documents though some of the printed items are held at Berkeley and except for the auction noted above we could find no listings catalogue holdings or auction records for items reproduced in a similar fashion to those included.
