Autograph letter signed to Mr. John Paget

186050276London 1860. London 30 June 1860. Bifolium. 4pp. 180 x 111 mm. A few pin-holes but fine otherwise. From English physiologist and naturalist William B. Carpenter who "helped shape the modern life sciences in Britain Oxford DNB through both his writings and his work as a teacher and administrator at what is now the University of London. Carpenter performed valuable researches in marine zoology and was directly influential in persuading the British Admiralty to sponsor the Challenger expedition the first major scientific study of the deep oceans. Carpenter is also recognized as one of the founders of the modern theory of the adaptive unconscious-he observed that the human perceptual system and the mechanism of human thought operates almost completely outside of conscious awareness. Carpenter's correspondent was the police magistrate and author John Paget. "I cannot let Mrs. Carpenter be the only one to express our hearty appreciation of the kind feeling on the part of Mrs. Paget and yourself by which the beautiful gift which we had the pleasure of receiving from you yesterday has been prompted as well as our admiration of the combined elegance and utility of the gift itself. Since its arrival Mrs. Carpenter has for the first time informed me that she had been taken into your counsels in the matter; and I am very glad that without any intention of her own your gift should have taken a form that so appropriately made her a participator in it. For her interest in Guy and her constant solicitude for his welfare have been as I need scarcely tell you in no degree inferior to my own. It gives us both great pleasure to have so substantial an expression of the satisfaction felt by Mrs. Paget and yourself in what we have endeavoured to do for him; and we trust with her that the influences and associations of early years may be pleasantly and usefully kept up on both sides by the continued friendship of our boys as they advance in life. With kindest wishes for the welfare and happiness of Mrs. Paget yourself and your family believe me Dear Mr. Paget always yours most sincerely William B. Carpenter." . unknown

Her faithless lover Chief Cachow married another; all three were killed when Sotuka holding a great stone jumped from the precipice upon the sleeping pair below" State of California Office of Historic Preservation. Frog Woman is an important figure in Pomo traditional beliefs. She is generally portrayed as the clever and powerful wife of Coyote the principal trickster character in many Pomo stories.

"Helen McCowen Carpenter 1838-1917 grew up in Indiana and when a teenager graduated from the Bloomingdale Quaker Academy with a teaching credential. In 1855 Helen moved with her family to Kansas Territory where she began her professional career at age 17. Kansas was in political turmoil as it prepared to enter the Union and the McCowens who were staunch abolitionists worked to make it a â€œfreeâ€ state rather than one that allowed slavery. Helen met her future husband who was also on the abolitionist side when Aurelius Ormando Carpenter was wounded fighting for the free-state movement at the â€œBattle of Black Jackâ€ an altercation that is now considered the first military engagement leading up to the Civil War. After helping nurse Aurelius to health Helen and he married on Christmas Day in 1856. Five months later the newlyweds traveled west to California in an ox wagon train with Helenâ€™s parents and other family members. Helen was four months pregnant with her first child when they arrived in Grass Valley California in October 1857. Within two years the Carpenters and McCowens had moved further west to Potter Valley in Mendocino County where other relatives were already settled. There Helen became the first teacher certified by the new County Board of Education and worked as an educator for the next decade. in 1869 the Carpenters relocated to Ukiah the county seat. There they established a photography studio where Helen assisted her husband â€œA.O.â€ by running the studio and taking portraits during his extended work-related absences as a newspaperman and traveling photographer. Her admiration for the beautiful basketry of the Pomo Indians led her to become a respected Pomo basket collector; an avocation she passed on to her daughter Grace and son-in-law John Hudson. A prolific writer whose work is now enjoying increased recognition Helen wrote and published articles and stories on the customs and history of the local Pomo Indian peoples and early pioneer days in Potter Valley and Ukiah" Grace Huson Museum The San Francisco and North Pacific Railway unknown
