Last leaf blank. 8vo. 23.5 cm x 14 cm. <br/><br/>This an interesting factual account regarding the early days of the prison an era when it wasn't quite impregnable edifice that now stands; in 1854 75 of 520 incarcerated individuals had escaped without recapture. This situation caused Governor John Bigler to write: "Gentlemen: Having learned from various reliable sources that quite a number of escapes have recently occurred from the State Prison which to some extent is in your charge I deem it my duty respectfully to invite your attention to the section of the law regulating your duties. These escapes permit me here to remark give great force to allegations daily and publicly made that the prison building is insecure and that its management is not such as to fully accomplish the object of its erection in prevention and punishment of crime." However since the place is still going strong one can be reasonably confident the governor's concerns were addressed. Rare; Not in Cowan Greenwood nor Rocq. Not in the LoC on-line catalogue.

You must excuse my silence I have hardly found time to sleep this summer. On the 19th of this month we had a hard earthquake shock it shook our house badly knocking down pictures it was accompanied by a loud rumbling report. On last Saturday the 27th inst. we were visited by a terrific cyclone it lasted not over five minutes that is the worst of it; but during that time it did a great deal of damage. I had noticed in the afternoon that a storm was gathering and about half past five I went to the other end of town on an errand thinking that I could return before the rain. I did not stay much over a minute at the house and when I came out I noticed a strange cloud in the north west it had grown very dark the sky seemed almost black save this one cloud which was of a luminous gray color. It was cone shaped like this drawing of a cyclone shape and was moving at a fearful rate not more than 15 feet above the ground that is its lower edge it came rolling and tumbling sweeping everything before it. I ran for dear life to get home for I thought that we were all to be killed and I wanted to be with Leb and Baby but I could not outrun the storm it was on me before I knew it. The street was thickly lined with shade trees all the way until within a short distance from our house; when I reached this cleared space I could hear the trees crashing behind me; and a gust from another direction was blowing against me. My breath gave out before I reached home and I had to turn in at Mr. Beabout's next door. I got inside the gate just as Mr. Berry's house across the street went crashing down. Our barn and Mrs. Bland's stable are flat on the ground. Mr. Berry's house is demolished a dozen or more barns sheep houses houses &c. are ruined right in town; the Disciple Church is pronounced unsafe in an apple orchard back of us but 2 or 3 trees are left. Our old shop had a large portion of its roof rafters and all taken. Some of the weatherboarding is blown off of our house. But I don't think of that I am glad that none of us were killed…We send love to all. Write soon Maud"</i></p><p><i>"Perryton Ohio Sept 2 1900</i></p><p><i>Dear Mamma</i></p><p><i>I received your very welcome letter as I would have rec'd one from the dead. I have written to all of the folks in rotation and have heard from not one letter until receiving your postal. How is Hulda's health this summer I did hope that I would be able to come "East." This summer but that ever-ready question of finance bobbed up and stopped me. I hope that I will be able to come home before I get so old that I can't travel. We are straining every nerve to get a good stock of goods in our store; we have 5 times as much as when you were here. Frank goes to Newark tomorrow to work in the glass-house if he likes it he will stay about 3 mos. and then go to school. We could not spare Floyd for this reason and then I do not think that you ought to keep house. You would have to have some one to prepare and make you eat your meals at the proper time; you cannot stand the same system of recuperation that you did twenty years ago. Floyd is only a child and has a healthy boy's appetite I doubt if you could cook enough in one day to last him a day.</i></p><p><i>We do not intend to stay here all our lives when we have a good chance to sell out we will do so. Now Mamma don't live by yourself. I expect that you have as nearly a perfect home with the girls as you will ever have on earth. "Such polite well-bred children no smoking no drinking no hard or sordid work." No tired out cross worked down women. I know of few such homes. I am always glad to have you with me why not come here To be sure there is nothing inviting in my surroundings but I would give you filial respect. I wish that you would send me one of your dictionaries the next time Rudo sends me anything. Do you think that Frank could find employment with his uncle He is a careful & trusty clerk; his whole trend is to become a businessman he does not care for the professions. I think that Floyd will make a professional man he is just about lazy enough…</i></p><p><i>We have a large filtered cistern just adjoining the back porch and a double floored porch over it 12 x 14 ft. I have had a great quantity of water all summer enough for every purpose & for Mrs. McCann's use to as long as she lived there. The old Dr. died the last of July and she broke up housekeeping right away. She is going to New York about the first of Oct. to spend the winter with her daughter Addie a Bellevue nurse.

The thing now for you to do is to show a little mercy to yourself. The children have all now received from you everything that a Mother could give and many things more than a Mother generally gives and it seems to me that what little time is allotted to you should be taken in as much comfort as possible.

I had to cut the gang that I have been working all summer back to fifteen men was working between 34 & 40. The oil business sure is on the bum here.

If you will leave it to me to make the deal and use my own judgement I may be able to sell. I told you what I would take if it were mine. If you think this not enough let me know. Houses are renting in Perrytown for $3.50 & $4.00 per month so you will have an idea what things are like over there. I don't know whether Agnes told you that I lowered the rent in Apr. for Kelyor I cut it back to $6.00 and that was about a $1.50 more than any other house was renting for and this is not hearsay but personal inquiry.

However in those 3 ½ days I made $25.00 but had to rent a typewriter to take home to do the work on so I got it for a month & it was $4.00 but yet that was pretty good pay I'll say and they were so pleased & appreciative of my work.</i></p><p><i>I do hope I get steady work soon but the weather is so bad – it is raining today again and these Missourians are sure afraid to start anything in the rain.

How is business out there Things are getting worse here every day. I am still holding my job but don't know for how long. I have orders to cut off four of my men the 15th of April. The oil business in Ohio is shot for a long while cannot compete with the Western fields. I hope that Evelyn & Justin can still keep their positions. Tiebout has been working most of the time since the first of the year. So we have not seen or heard much of them. We have had sickness most of the winter.

Don't you worry about us back here and we are not going to worry about you folks but just rust in things coming back within a short time. Rome wasn't built in a day and the President has to have time to put into effect a new <u>deal </u>and a new policy. Now don't laugh for it is really a serious situation. But let's give him a chance to do right and perhaps if they make him a King or Mussolini or something he can do something and the Lord above knows that our Congress will never get us anywhere so give the President free reins and his chance to do something. I am for you Franklin if you make a go of it and will even vote for your reelection if you bring this country out of it but I fear he cannot stand the strain and will not be with us that many years longer.</i></p><p><i>Poor Jack is dumbfounded being a Southerner by birth and just having recently returned from the South where his folks sort of rechristened him a Democrat and made him believe that Roosevelt was our Savior etc. all this after I had Jack made a pretty good Republican for the past six years all my work wasted in vain after his Mother and Sisters etc. told him Roosevelt was great. He doesn't know what to think and of course cannot get to me to talk personally but just has to write his ideas etc. after the banks closed but he is trying to cheer me up and yet deep down in his heart he says that what I told him last summer would happen if Hoover was not re-elected if just about all coming true right the first ten days of the Democratic administration. However Jacks says he is a good sport and if Roosevelt saves the country and brings us out of this without suffering too much and makes things better I must become a Democrat but if Roosevelt fails and has to call on Republicans etc. to help him out of this crisis then Jack is never to speak to another Democrat ha!</i></p><p><i>Anyways folks here is what all of us connected with our organization have figured out. If you are paid 20% cash and rest checks do not spend on cent of the cash but hide it some safe place and pass every payroll check immediately on to the grocer baker candlestick maker etc. Don't hold a check a minute. Now Evelyn and Justin I am not sure whether our mortgage read that you had to pay gold tender or not but be most certain that you get a separate receipt for every cent you pay on your mortgage and hold on to those receipts. Don't let any ifs or ands get into the receipt either. Either they take your checks or they don't and get your receipt to these checks. If you get paid in small denomination checks buy so you may get back a little silver and then use another check for the next purchase etc. until you get every check out of your hands. Even buy your next winter coats underwear shoes new tires and everything possible that you can get them to take the checks that is payroll checks for and get yourself all fixed up. Buy all the groceries possible with such checks and store them away. Things in cans and that will keep. The theory is if worse comes to worse have some things on hand to eat and have those checks in some other fellows' hand and then your employer is responsible for the payroll checks or Roosevelt is or anyone but you.</i></p><p><i>Do the same way with the new money they issue and don't hold on to it but buy with it for all you can and pay on your mortgage with it if they will take it pay your insurance taxes etc. but do not hoard it for when the new money is finally called in unless a precedent is set it will be discounted and the ones holding it will get about 35 c on the dollar for all they have in their possession. However some new laws or other may off set these prophesies but pay for everything with those checks and save every cent of currency you get quarters halves etc. And don't keep from buying things you need because next year things will be so high you will not be able to buy them so fix up the car the house lay in grocers and get yourselves underwear coats suits dresses etc. to do for another year if you can possible do so with this new money you might be paid with.</i></p><p><i>However it usually takes all we make to live on as a rule but at that we are passing it on and will not be caught with it on hand. Mother has a hobby about holding onto checks and that is why I warned you about returning my little Kansas City checks immediately and not hold on to them for I was afraid this would be coming. I had no idea that Mother was holding onto any other checks or would have warned her also. We weren't the only ones; millions and millions are in the same boat and if only we all eat that is the main thing.</i></p><p><i>Now don't worry about us back here because we aren't going to worry about you. We know we all are pulling together and don't' knock the President for heaven's sake. That will ruin the country if we do and don't help him during this crisis now that it is on.</i></p><p><i>Do you all notice that Herbert Hoover is remaining in the East Wonder who is insisting that he remain there There is much hopes here that he is being asked by Wall Street or other financiers to remain near until this passes over and that is why he did not go on to California with Mrs. Hoover. He may have to save us yet.</i></p><p><i>All love to each of you and the best of luck Your devoted children Cecelia & Jack…"</i></p><p><i>"December 9 1933 321 West 29th Street New York City N.Y.</i></p><p><i>Dear Maud:</i></p><p><i>Isn't it about time I answered your letter of November sixteenth I think so – we were glad to hear from you and to receive your tin-type.

1964132317Denver CO: Wiseman Film Productions 1964. Original one sheet poster for the 1964 film. Only one style of the poster is known to have been issued for its initial release. <br/><br/>A seminal film from many points of view. The second feature to be directed by Shirley Clarke. Clarke's goal was to make a non-judgmental film that resisted the moralizing prevalent in Hollywood "social issue" films. It was the first film to be produced by Frederick Wiseman who would go on to become a legendary documentary filmmaker and was scored by noted jazz composer and pianist Mal Waldron with performances by Dizzy Gillespie. "The Cool World" was the first American independent film to be screened at the Venice International Film Festival. <br/><br/>Clarke studied under Hans Richter and became part of a circle in Greenwich Village that included Maya Deren Stan Brakhage and Jonas Mekas. After founding the now-legendary Filmmakers Cooperative she made a series of short films and documentaries. Her feature film debut was "The Connection" based on a play concerning the lives of a group of heroin-addicted small-time jazz musicians. "The Connection" became the director's "test case" in what was ultimately a victory against New York State's censorship rules. Importantly too both "The Connection" and "The Cool World" were statements on the limitations of cinema verite and while appearing improvisational were in fact semi-documentaries with carefully scripted dialogue. <br/><br/>27 x 41 inches folded as issued. Rubber stamped "THE COOL WORLD" on the verso. Very Good plus with shallow creasing at the edges and a few short closed tears. Wiseman Film Productions unknown books

Landscape-format monochrome photographic portrait signed "Peter Keen" on the lower right margin dry mounted. 405 x 305 mm. Candid portrait photograph of Henry Miller in spectacles and flat cap taken at the 1962 International Writers' Conference held at McEwan Hall Edinburgh. The conference - which was on the subject of "The Novel Today" - was organized by the publisher John Calder and featured seventy writers from twenty countries. The conference gained some notoriety from the argument between Alexander Trocchi and Hugh MacDiarmid the latter calling the former "cosmopolitan scum." Miller along with William Burroughs sided with Trocchi who replied "I am only interested in lesbianism and sodomy."<br/><br/>The photographer Peter Keen 1928-2009 was commissioned to record the event for THE SUNDAY TIMES. His other notable work includes portraiture - some in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery - and the photographic illustrations to Ted Hughes's RIVER London 1983. unknown books
