This is a heavy solid copy with some of the family register filled out relating to the Wisheart and Macgowan families and covering 1804 to 1865.

18997503Boston: F.M. Porter Co 1899. Quarto stapled in wrappers 24 x 17.5 cm. 80 pages; 1 plate. Illustrated black & white and chromolithograph plate. Advertising. FIRST EDITION. The "Official catalog musical program list of exhibitors" for this fourth congress of members of the Boston Retail Grocers Association. The association was founded in 1881 and held its first food fair that year. Photographic portraits of the senior members of the Association are included as is a description of Miss Nellie Dot Ranche of Chicago who was brought in for the occasion to run the Domestic Science Programs. It's interesting that the committee reached out to the Midwest at this moment when Cooking Schools in Boston were on the rise and very visible. The copious advertising displays a range of categories of goods one would find in a grocery of the turn of the 19th century: coffee cocoa mustard Havana cigars root beer Ceylon tea French Coca Wine virgin olive oil nut meats and salt as well as household goods including: thread collars washing liquids bluing ink. Also represented are goods and services aimed at the grocers and retailers: boxes and bags promotional printing specialized contracting refrigeration etc. Tiny bit of spotting to green and gold-printed gray wrappers otherwise fine.

1847List2439Vera Cruz 1847. Folded letter to Wheeling Virginia with learly struck two-line datestamp with "Paid 10" manuscript rate and blue "Steam" handstamp of New Orleans on 1847 with an unusual “Steam†marking applied in New Orleans. Fine condition. Fine. A descriptive and interesting letter from Captain George W. Clutter of Wheeling Virginia describing the scenes and food in Vera Cruz in detail. Clutter had enlisted a detachment of thirty-two men in early 1847 in Monongalia County for service in the war who would eventually become known as the “Mountain Boys of Monongalia.†Clutter was promoted to the captaincy upon the resignation of John Tyler. The company sailed in June of 1847 on the Brig “Tuckahoe†from Old Point Comfort to Point Isabel where they marched to join General Taylor’s forces. <br /> <br /> This interesting letter written by Clutter from Vera Cruz describes the city and cuisine of Vera Cruz in detail. He writes “I am now boarding at the best Hotel in the city - it is called "Bells Stage House'. It is kept by a German lady in great grandeur. The quantity of fruit here is astonishing. Oranges are for sale at about the rate apples would sell in the Wheeling market. I only wish I could send you and the children some of them - such ones as you never eat in the United States as it would be impossible to carry them so far without rotting. <br /> <br /> As we get dinner here at 3 o'clock and no such thing as supper is known I stepped out this evening and obtained a 'cup of chocolate' and 'toast'. If an American or rather United States cook could taste such chocolate as the Mexicans make they never would attempt making the article again - and it is not so much in the simple making of the chocolate but it's in preparing it at the start - for every family even the provost understands making the article from the Cocoa.†Clutter offers additional details on troop movements and logistics of the campaign. Other letters by Clutter during the period are held at the West Virginia Regional History Center at WVU. <br /> <br /> Full contents follow:<br /> <br /> Vera Cruz Mexico<br /> Thursday Sept. 30th 1847<br /> <br /> When I wrote to you from the Brazos I felt in rather a bad humor and as I have arrived at this splendid city the first splendid place I have found in Mexico I will endeavor to write to you more at length than I did from the above named place. We left the Brazos at 5 o'clock P.M. on Monday on board the Steamship Ohio and without ever seeing the sun once during the voyage arrived here today Thursday about 11 o'clock A.M. - truly a quick trip. None of our Regiment except those who were favored with a passage on the Ohio in Company with Brig. Genl. Cushing are here yet. Those of our Regiment here are as follows: Lieut. Col. Withers Capt. Clay & his Company and Capt. Campbell & your humble servant who came upon the sick list. I am much improved since the commencement of the voyage and will with a day or two's rest be able to take up the line of march by the time the Regiment gets ready to move forward to join Genl. Scott. I must explain here the balance of the Regiment is coming in ships which may detain them two or three days in which event I will have become rested. I am now boarding at the best Hotel in the city - it is called "Bells Stage House'. It is kept by a German lady in great grandeur. The quantity of fruit here is astonishing. Oranges are for sale at about the rate apples would sell in the Wheeling market. I only wish I could send you and the children some of them - such ones as you never eat in the United States as it would be impossible to carry them so far without rotting. <br /> <br /> As we get dinner here at 3 o'clock and no such thing as supper is known I stepped out this evening and obtained a 'cup of chocolate' and 'toast'. If an American or rather United States cook could taste such chocolate as the Mexicans make they never would attempt making the article again - and it is not so much in the simple making of the chocolate but it's in preparing it at the start - for every family even the provost understands making the article from the Cocoa.<br /> <br /> In this City may be seen all the fashionable fine buildings and streets to be found in any city of the United States. Also all the various fancy and other goods now in the cities of the North & East can be found here. <br /> <br /> I have not yet found another horse since my arrival but must try and get one tomorrow. I hope my friend Pollock will receive the Mexican roan 'J.B.' which I sent him from Brazos. From hard usage he is not in very good order at present but with little care will be a very useful horse. Don't you ever ask the privilege of riding him however. Mind I know him well. <br /> <br /> As you have heard before this Genl. Scott is in the City of Mexico having sustained a very heavy loss in getting there. We expect to have considerable fighting between here and the City of Mexico ourselves. Time however will reveal all things. <br /> <br /> The soreness in my legs which I complained of is better but I fear exercise will cause it to return. What it will terminate in I am unable to say at present. <br /> <br /> I received a letter from you at this place today which was read with the usual interest notwithstanding it was written on the 13th August 17 days previous to the last one received at Sabinito which was dated 30th August.<br /> <br /> I have just bought five Vera Cruz papers which I will send you. They are half Mexican which half you can dispose of as you see proper. By the bye Mr. Fleeson promised to send you the Matamoros Flag regular. Tell me if you get it. <br /> <br /> Oct. 1st 1847<br /> <br /> This morning I have been all over the city. It would take me a month to describe all the curiosities I have beheld. I will save that for a private chat some long evening after my return. <br /> <br /> I would like to have you Dear little Ada to examine and see the curiosities to be seen. When papa comes home he will bring you some of them. <br /> <br /> My love to Sarah Ann. I would write longer to her had I time. My love to all my friends & acquaintances. <br /> <br /> I am Dearest Sarah<br /> your loving husband<br /> Geo. W. Clutter<br /> <br /> to<br /> Sarah M. Clutter. unknown
