Miller writes an unspecified but likely very close friend addressed as "Heart of my heart Soul of my soul . I toss a book into your lap. Your book Sappho & Phaon. It is as the papers in SF say . the best and strongest of all my work. Will you read your Sappho & Phaon now It is revised longer stronger. I go to Alaska the 19th of June. Some you will go with me. We may find Lost Eden. Anyway read my 'Sappho'. You are my Sappho. Come and let me at last be your Phaon. Your Joaquin Miller." "Sappho and Phaon" one of Miller's most ambitious verse undertakings was collected in SONGS OF THE SOUL published within a week of this letter and surely his reference is to that book. unknown books
18847971884. MILLER John Franklin. And Ralph Ellis. Autograph Letters Signed. Written by California U.S. Senator John Franklin Miller and the Lodi California Sentinel newspaper owner Ralph Ellis. On one side of the sheet Ellis writes to Miller in Washington DC- on Sentinel stationary and dated January 28 1884. Ellis states that since the Alaska Goverment Bill has passed the Senate he is inquiring about being appointed a U.S. Marshall in California. On the verso of the same sheet is an autograph letter to the California Attorney General stating that the Alaska territory now has a form of goverment and requests Ellis be considered as a U.S. marshall. What Alaska has to do with the appointment is beyond me. Miller was a Civil War veteran and was elected in 1880 as one of the two first California Senators to the U.S. Congress. An interesting and probably uncommon letter with two scarce signatures!!! Very Good condition tiny nicks to corner $125.00. <br/><br/> unknown books

2415To Bruno Adriani Miller mentions French author Arthur Rimbaud and Hermann Hesse's classic "Siddhartha." "Do you recall ever seeing a photograph of Rimbaud's mother Mermod in Lausanne are bringing out the 2 parts of my work on Rimbaud in French this year. Letter from H. L. Mermod advises no photo of the mother in the famous Matarosso Collection. Yet I saw one of her Vitalie in an old issue of 'Labyrinthe' Mastarosso Coll too!. Wonder if this was a mistake of the printer I suppose Mermod wishes to include some photos in the book. Roger Cornaz is doing the translation. Did you ever know Gerhart Muench composer & pianist from Dresden He's in Altadema now and invites me frequently - rather amazing letters. Just read Hesse's 'Siddhartha' in French.Depresses me tremendously." He signs "Henry Miller."

17871466Hartford 1787. Letter. Very good. In the fall of 1785 after Revolutionary War service Greene and family settled to Mulberry Grove in Chatham County Georgia near Savannah where land had been gifted from the State of Georgia and the Carolinas yet Nathanael's time there would be short -within one year Greene was dead. The children's tutor Phineas Miller took up the role of plantation manager. It is within this time period that this letter was written I have sent you the best assortment of garden seeds I am now able to procure - They are from a retailer who received them fput up mark'd and warranted from Col. Wadsworth's gardener. Col. Jeremiah Wadsworth was a friend of General Greenes. I intended to have had a larger assortment selected by himself but he went out to West Division early this morning with the intention of putting them up this evening and Capt. Sweet sails today so that I had no alternativebut to get them of the retailer - I have put on board a salmon for your family and Mrs. Ward with very particular directions to Capt. Sweet to take care of it and hope it may arrive good and prove agreeable - Please to present my most respectful compliments to the Governor and family and permit tme to to be Madam your Most Obedient and Very Humble Servant. -- Phins. Miller. In 1792 after passionate and active work on the part of the widow the crushing debt that General Greene amassed during the Revolutionary War was erased. In this same year Eli Whitney came aboard the plantation to assist. Within the year the cotton gin was fully developed. On March 14 1794 Whitney received a patent for the cotton gin - it was debuted on the plantation grounds. By some reports she was in partnership with Miller in the financial and logistical support of the process of patent and production of the gin. In an 1883 article in The North American Review titled "Woman as Inventor" the early feminist and abolitionist Matilda Joslyn Gage claimed that Mrs. Greene suggested to Whitney the use of a brush-like component which was instrumental in separating the seeds from the cotton. In 1796 Phineas and Catherine were married but Mulberry Grove would not outlast the duo. By 1798 it was sold and the Millers moved to Cumberland Island to land given to Gen. Greene. <br/><br/>Sheet folded with creaselines and wax seal. Foxing with no loss text clear to read. unknown books

262Commenting on Kuhn's participation in an exhibition at the Montross Gallery in New York Miller writes: "My dear Kuhn: I have enjoyed -- and admired -- your stuff in the current Montross show so much I can't resist the impulse to tell you of it. It is important work I am sure and adds a note to the exhibition that is robust interesting and tonic. Altogether your stuff is indispensable to that show." Signed "Kenneth Hayes Miller." Artist to artist letters hold a particular interest for us. Miller exhibited four works in the historic 1913 Armory Show focused on Modern Art where Kuhn also exhibited. unknown books

Small tears along fold not affecting text traces of former mounting light soiling along folds but very good. Docketed by recipient. </p> <p>From Scottish paleontologist and geologist Hugh Miller author of works of popular science including The Old Red Sandstone 1841 Footprints of the Creator 1850 and The Testimony of the Rocks 1856 to fellow paleontologist Edward Charlesworth editor of the Magazine of Natural History. </p> <p>"I am glad to see you have added a . shell column to your columns of British Fossils. Please set me down as a subscriber for a £2 . . set; as also for a £2 . . set of the fossils of the Mountain Limestone . . . I am at present engaged with printers and woodengravers in getting up a fourth edition of my little work the "Footprints" which will contain prints of a few curious unique organisms picked up since I had the pleasure of seeing you in Autumn last . . ."</p> <p>Although he had little formal scientific training Miller made important contributions to paleontology including the discovery of several previously unknown species of fossil fish. A deeply religious man Miller believed that "the fossil record confirmed in broad outline the cosmic drama depicted symbolically in the Bible" Dictionary of Scientific Biography. His geological studies had convinced him of the Earth's great age but he held that the fossil record represented separate creations rather than the transmutation of species over time. His Footprints of the Creator was intended as a rebuttal of the evolutionary theory put forth in Robert Chambers's Vestiges of the Natural History of Creation 1844. The fourth edition of Footprints mentioned in Miller's letter came out in 1853. Miller's letter is on the letterhead of The Witness a Scottish evangelical newspaper of which he was the editor.</p> . unknown books
