Cossitt, Emily RuthBiblio.com

Letter from New England woman visiting Southern relatives in Tennessee:.

1850106841Autograph Letter Signed with initials. blue paper folded folio sheet 4 pp. stampless address leaf. Small hole from seal-opening with loss of a few words some creasing postmark on back sheet remnant of wax seal on back page; otherwise very good. This autograph letter in a highly legible hand is to her younger sister Harriet E. Cossitt Claremont in New Hampshire.Christmas "is not observed here in the same manner that it is there no churches holding religious services on that day. I attended the celebration of the Sons of Temperance on Christmas day… Christmas week is considered as 'the holidays of the year' for white and black. No work is the order for all servants but house servants and they have their parties suppers and their candy boilings and pullings as they say for I do not attend such sweet places. It would amuse you to see their smiling ebony faces bowing and grinning as they claim their Christmas gifts and 'yes massa' or 'please missa' may I do this or that having more privileges than many poor intelligent whites."These words were uncharacteristic of other New England observers of the antebellum South who were appalled by slavery and expressed only sympathy for the enslaved even if some noted that many poor whites both North and South also lived a meager existence in contrast with so-called "privileged" Negroes. Emily Cossitt 1813-1897 was a 37-year-old unmarried woman from a wealthy New Hampshire family her father being President of the local bank. Her uncle whom she was visiting was a Presbyterian Minister and religious matters were one of her principal interests much of this letter concerning a local dispute between a Baptist and a Methodist clergyman. She was well-educated – she opens the letter with a flowery poem – and perhaps something of a snob. Neither she nor her two sisters would ever marry. This may explain her disdain for her uncle's slaves perhaps less racism than simple arrogance. Despite a racist tone the letter has good content concerning African Americans in pre–Civil War America.

The Killing Kind Are You a Good Boy Original screenplay for the 1973 film

1972141249N.p.: Media Cinema Group 1972. Revised Draft script for the 1973 film. Here under the working title "Are You a Good Boy" In his review of the Dark Sky Films DVD release of the film critic Glenn Erickson notes "The Killing Kind is one of the better films from Curtis Harrington the California-grown avant-garde filmmaker who became a maker of horror films starting with the Val Lewton-inspired "Night Tide" in 1961." After spending considerable time as a regular at the Cinematheque Francaise in Paris Harrington wrote some of the first critical analyses of the horror film. Much of Harrington's work mixed show-biz with Psycho-like pathology; this film's mad killer has deep Freudian scars an unhealthy relationship with his mother and a bad habit of disassociating himself from his heinous acts. Harrington uses interesting veteran performers and picks some excellent newcomers-both John Savage and Cindy Williams would become stars." Young Terry Lambert is forced to participate in a gang rape and spends two rough years in prison emerging with a destroyed mind. He returns home to live in his mother's boarding house. Upon the simple mention of his mother's annoyance with the woman Terry raped Terry decides to murder her as well as a lawyer who has failed to get him a reduced sentence. Shot on location in California. Blue titled wrappers noted as Revision on the front wrapper dated October 6 1972 114 leaves with last page of text numbered 114.

Wheeler, Ruth R [Leonard F Kleinfeld] [Henry David Thoreau]Biblio.com

Concord: Climate for Freedom; Henry David Thoreau: Chronology two books association copy

19671045Concord MA: Concord Antiquarian Society 1967. First edition. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. Two books: The first Wheeler's Concord: Climate for Freedom. An association copy inscribed at the top of the first blank in a blue pen: "To Leonard Kleinfeld my generous host in Nassau and an envied bibliophile Ruth R Wheeler." Blue cloth with map endpapers and illustrations and photographs in black and white throughout. Although this book takes a sweeping look at Concord's history the last 45-page chapter is devoted to "the American Renaissance" led by Thoreau Emerson and others. Together with Kleinfield's Henry David Thoreau: Chronology. Forest Hills Long Island 1950; presumably self-published. A limited edition of 1000 copies an oblong quarto in green wraps. Inscribed on the title page: "March 30 1951 To Joan Griscom--'Rather than fame than fortune than honor--give me truth.' Thoreau. Sincerely Leonard F. Kleinfeld." Uncommon signed. It consists of a handsome and quite useful year-by-year table chronology of Thoreau's life 1817-1862 alongside other events in the world US and in literature. At rear is also a list of Thoreau's published works and of essays and biographies on Thoreau. Kleinfeld was for a few years the president of the Thoreau Society. His biography on the Thoreau Society's site reads in full: "Leonard F. Kleinfeld was the eighteenth president of the Thoreau Society. Born in Manhattan he first came to Thoreau by reading Walden and Cape Cod in his late teens. Walden became his 'bedside bible' and he vowed to never lead a life of quiet desperation. A trip to Walden Pond in 1919 made him a Thoreauvian for life. He studied at New York University but was known for being self-schooled and hard-working. Finding work as an importer-exporter Kleinfeld was able to travel around the world and to start Thoreau groups in such countries as France England Japan and Argentina. He visited the Channel Islands in order to complete a Thoreau genealogy. He was notable for his large Thoreau library and collection of Thoreauviana which included stones from the Walden house and boards from the Texas house." Ruth Wheeler was a devoted historian of Concord and she lived for a time at Thoreau's birthplace and her papers are held at the Concord Free Library. Griscom was a Professor of Women's Studies at William Paterson University and lived in Lexington. Wheeler's Concord is good to very good on account of a white stain to lower edge of front board and wear through the cloth on the bottom of the lower corners; light foxing to top of text block. In a very good jacket North Bridge pictured on the back panel with general wear some browning to spine and some fraying at top of spine and a couple short tears. Kleinfeld's chronology is very good with sporadic staining to front wrap and one scuff at right edge and with toning to pages. A nice association and unique pairing between Thoreau/Concord scholars.
