The Captain signed them also. Write to my wife and have her send the eleven dollars down to Menasha before the 20th of September.

182820000173Lincoln County ME: Lincoln County Court of Maine 1828-1853. General wear. Letter folds some pieces have separation at the folds. Minor penciling. . A collection of seventeen 17 legal summons to the Constables of various towns in Lincoln County Maine. The summons date from April 1828 to July 1853 and were sent by the Clerk of the Court for Lincoln County ME which during these dates were Nathaniel Coffin J. Smith and E. B. Bowman. The majority of the summonses were for jury duty. The summons were preprinted letters in which it stated that Constable of the town was required to inform the town and its citizens that they were required to send a representative to court on the appointed date to serve on a jury. At the base of the form was a section for the town constable to fill in the name of the town resident that would be answering the summoning and certify that they informed said citizen of their duty and sent the summons back to the Clerk. There is often small calculations for reimbursement on these summons for such things as the cost of postage for mailing it back. There are three court summons in this collection which are not jury duty summons. The first is a warrant for the arrest of Martin Munroe 1783-1867 of Thomaston for the assault and battery of against his wife Eliza Munroe 1785-1865. There is a short note on the back of the summons in which it states that Munroe was found and brought to the court. There are also several calculations done for expenses incurred by the transfer of Munroe such as lodging and food that were to be reimbursed. Unfortunately no information on the outcome of this case was found though a genealogy search revealed that the two stayed married after this event and had two daughters. The second court summons is an order of appearance to Nathaniel Quint and Thomas Sandford both of Topsham ME to appear before a judge regarding a matter of financial debt between the two men. On the back of this summons is written ""Quint v. Sandford"" and a short note regarding the outcome of the case which was in favor of the plaintiff for $78.76. The last is also an order of summons but for the representative of the town of Thomaston ME which was brought under indictment for their failure to maintain some roads within the town. The case entitled State v. Thomaston would eventually be won by the town of Thomaston. On the back of the summons is a note by Peter Fuller the townÂ’s Sheriff that states that they send the Town Clerk Oliver Foles to argue the case. All of the summonses were sent by folded stampless post. The majority of the letters have a number written on the outside. They have been organized chronologically. Measures sample 7 1/2"" x 3"" folded 12 1/2"" x 7 1/2"" unfolded. To view the collection please click on the following link: https://photos.app.goo.gl/cC4zY73uX4XMBF9b7 On a historical note the original boundaries of Lincoln County in Maine covered almost 90% of what is currently the state of Maine and as such as the stateÂ’s population crew it was carved out into several additionally countries. This means that some of the towns that these summons were sent to are no longer apart of the present day Lincoln County but rather apart of Maine counties of Sagadahoc Kennebec Knox Androscoggin and Penobscot. The names of the exact towns the summons were sent to are: Litchfield Nobleboro Whitefield Thomaston Topsham Dresden Friendship Lewiston Alna Bath Phippsburg Webster Bowdin and Edgecomb.

190763141Princeton NJ 1907. 4to 28 cm. 10 pages typed rectos only approximately 2850 words each leaf mounted along the left edge to a larger heavier sheet each page double-spaced with 29 separate ink corrections deletions and additions by Cleveland in his characteristic hand 44 words added 19 deleted 20 typos of poor strikes corrected; in addition there are numerous editorial marking on each page "by Grover Cleveland" is written in pencil in another hand underneath the title on the first page and "corrected by Cleveland" is written in pencil in yet another hand at the upper corner of the first page. The longest correction or addition occurs in the final paragraph where Cleveland strikes through four words replacing them with twelve. Following publication the "Youth's Companion" the essay appeared in newspapers e.g. "The Daily Republican" Monongahela Pennsylvania 25 February 1908 under the title "Our People and Our Ex-Presidents." We found one other unsigned essay by Cleveland at auction also a 10-page typescript with holograph corrections "Woman's Mission and Woman's Clubs" sold at Christie's in 2002 $8000. Very good condition throughout. 9870. An essay on the relationship between the American people and their ex-presidents by the only man who was ex-president twice. It addresses the expectations and demands the people place on their former presidents the personal financial effects these may have and the failure of the country to provide any support for them. Noting thankfully his own personally secure estate he based this one and cites specific examples of financial distress among earlier presidents. That combined with his own observations gave him concern for future ex-presidents. "If in concluding this discussion a personal word is necessary or permissible in view of the fact that I am the only man now living who could at this time profit by the ideas I have advocated I hope my sincerity will not be questioned when I say that I have dealt with the subject without the least thought of personal interest or desire for personal advantage. I am not in need of aid from the public treasury. I hope and believe that I have provided for myself and those dependent upon me a comfortable maintenance within the limits of accustomed prudence and economy and that those to whom I owe the highest earthly duty will not want when I am gone." <br/><br/> unknown books
513358vo. Four pages approximately 500 words. In part: "You must think I am a very shabby fellow & to tell you the truth I think I am too . I want to hear from you just how the thing looks and what next I can do for you. I find I rather look for your letters and I know you'll pity a poor old bachelor when it is so little trouble and let me hear again soon." Cleveland had apparently not kept a promise to help with a benefit to raise funds for the enlargement of a Buffalo cemetery and was attempting to make amends here. Folded some browning but very good. <br/><br/> unknown books
