One online source provides: "The new two-year course included six months of on-the-job field training. To supervise the work of the men and women engaged in this training two staff members were required. On January 1 19I8 Miss Margaret P. Hamlin a Smith College graduate who had in Amherst developed a hobby of farming was appointed as one of these members with the title of "agricultural counsellor for women." Miss Hamlin developed this position until it encompassed the full activities of a Women's Placement Office. For thirty years she performed her duties most successfully. She took a great many trips some under arduous conditions to locate and evaluate positions in which students might be placed. In an area extending from Germantown Pennsylvania to Northern New Hampshire and Maine she found jobs for women in greenhouses and flower shops vegetable gardens and dairy farms. One of the most interesting examples of this placement work involved a large dairy farm on an estate near New York City which was run by two women one a professor of geology at Columbia University Ida Helen Ogilvie; see: Bedford Camp the first Woman's Land Army unit in USA . On this farm Miss Hamlin placed a number of young women who had studied animal husbandry at M.A.C. Two of these students later became farm managers on the estate."

1912 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY HAND WRITTEN BY A NEWLY ARRIVED SCOTTISH GIRL DETAILING HER TIMES IN AMERICA AND BROWN UNIVERSITY

19120008106PROVIDENCE RI. Good. 1912. On offer is an interesting group of diaries and student handbooks dating from the early 20th century. Written by a student at one of America's oldest universities this is an eclectic collection of books. There are 5 altogether. The first measures 7 inches by 5 inches and contains 176 unlined undated pages. It covers the period 1912 to 1916. It is about 10% complete. The 2nd and 3rd are student handbooks measuring 6.5 inches by 3 inches containing 78 page of both diary entries and extensive information pages. The first is 100% complete while the 2nd is about 50% complete. The 4th book measures 6.5 inches by 4.5 inches and contains 22 pages. It is a pre-printed "Class Day" program. The 5th book is a 7 inch by 4 inch 10 page pre-printed "Ivy Day" program. The first book covers the 5 years 1912-1916. However there are only a few entries from 1912. The pages are neither dated or numbered. On the first page she writes that she moved from Scotland in April of 1909. The entries in the diary are very sparse - many times just a couple of words where any entries were made at all: "Went to debate with Herbert Brown at Hope. Hope lost." Feb 2 1912; "Had first game of tennis. Supper at Roots" May 17 1912; "Today we went to Concord via Lexington to have lunch with Miss Genie Barrette. We left 11:00 and arrived 12:30 fine drive In Lexington we saw the battlefield. After we had lunch we went for a drive around the town and saw all points of interest. We left Concord at 6:00 nearly loosing the car. We arrived home at 7:30. Carl came over in the evening."July 10 1912. In 1913 she is accepted at Brown University in Providence RI. Brown University is the 7th oldest university in the United States and one of the 9 that were chartered before the American Revolution. It is a private Ivy League university with a good reputation for research. Its alumni number many successful graduates in a wide range of fields. The 2nd diary details her daily routine in her first year at Brown. It is pre-printed with Brown University's seal on the cover. In it she describes her academic work friends and acquaintances and social life. The book also has an extensive information section about Brown University. "College at last! I am a really true freshman in Brown" Sept 24 1913. "This noon I walked up Creighton St. With Jesse. We took the math prize exams. . It was terrific ." Oct 11 1913. Bessie and I studied Math all morning and this afternoon had our famous math final. It was a scream." Jan 29 1914. "Ivy Day. I went in all morning. At night I went and tool Harold. We went for a long walk before and were very late in returning home." June 16 1914. The last pages record her grades for the year and the steps to the "Hesitation Waltz". The 3rd diary covers her academic year 1916-1917. Like the previous academic handbook it is preprinted with the university seal and contains an extensive information section as well as space for daily entries over the course of the academic year. As in the previous one this contains descriptions of her academic work friends and acquaintances and social life. "First morning in cap and gown" Sept 27 1916. In October she went out and secured a part-time job at Arnold Co. "Went downtown to see about a position in Arnolds. Will know later. Got position" Oct 12-3 1916. Arnold Co might likely be associated with descendents of Rhode Island's wealthiest settler family. She graduated in the spring of 1917: "Baccalaureate ." June 17 1917. The remaining 2 books are a pre-printed "Class Day" program from 1915 and a pre-printed "Ivy Day" program for 1917. Both contain details of these university events. The Class Day program has photographs of class officers as well as senior class rolls. Also included is a certificate from the Department of Public Schools Providence RI appointing her as a student teacher in the school system for September 1917. Dated June 18th she makes no reference to it in her diary. Casual research suggests that she did in fact work as a teacher in Providence but there is not conclusive evidence. No other biographical information was found. The Brown University documents provide an excellent look at what Brown felt was necessary for students to know and have at their fingertips as they followed their studies. It lists various regulations student organizations and details of campus life. For a researcher or historian of Brown University or indeed any Ivy League school it provides an excellent benchmark for comparisons a century later.; Manuscript; 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF EARLY 20TH CENTURY 1910s UNITED STATES NEW ENGLAND RHODE ISLAND RUTH YOUNG; UNIVERSITY EDUCATION IN AMERICA IN 1910s BROWN UNIVERSITY; IVY LEAGUE SCHOOLS; PROVIDENCE RI 1917 "IVY DAY" PROGRAM "CLASS DAY" PROGRAM AT BROWN BROWN UNIVERSITY EVENTS IN 1910S BROWN UNIVERSITY ALUMNAE EARLY FEMALE STUDENTS AT THE BROWN UNIVERSITY AMERICAN WOMEN EDUCATION IN EARLY 20TH CENTURY COLLEGE LIFE IN 1910s BROWN STUDENT DIARIES HISTORY OF WOMEN AT THE BROWN UNIVERSITY CAMPUS LIFE AT BROWN UNIVERSITY WOMEN SOCIAL LIFE IN THE EARLY 20TH CENTURY WOMEN'S STUDIES SOCIAL STUDIES AMERICANA HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS DIARY DIARIES JOURNALS PERSONAL HISTORY SOCIAL HISTORY HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL ANTIQUITÉ CONTRAT VÉLIN DOCUMENT MANUSCRIT PAPIER ANTIKE BRIEF PERGAMENT DOKUMENT MANUSKRIPT PAPIER OGGETTO D'ANTIQUARIATO ATTO VELINA DOCUMENTO MANOSCRITTO CARTA ANTIGÜEDAD HECHO VITELA DOCUMENTO MANUSCRITO PAPEL . unknown

19250001039Changsha China. Good. 1925. On offer is a very interesting pair 2 of manuscript diaries handwritten by Mildred Ruth Mills wife of Edmund. Our writer appears to be a wealthy American woman in Changsha China in 1925 and then a decade later is 1936. Historians and collectors of Chinese political and historical ephemera will recognize that Mrs. Mills was well suited to observe the birth pangs of the Nationalist movement. In fact she is in China at a tinder box time with Sun-Yat-Sen dying in Peking in March of 1925 and the ascendance of Chiang Kai-shek as his successor. She travels to other locations in eastern China throughout the year and there is an entry later in the year stating that they re-locate to Wuhu China. While half of January is used for recording which letters were "received" and "sent" there are over 325 entries for the rest of the year. Here are some snippets: "had chinese lesson today as usual". 3/6-"met the chinese interpreter and agent they were very nice." 5/3 "we put up a lunch and went to yola sou. Took boy with us had chair coolies. Went way up to top where we could see all of Changsha and vicinity. Was a wonderful view. Went in several temples". At some point her husband an employee of Standard Oil Co. of NY has to travel "up country" for a couple of weeks and she is making local/social trips by boat: "went to Island at four Mrs. Corbett has birthday party for Mollie.5/17 "Raining very hard today. Came over in boat with B.A. Men. Looks like a bad day for my tea." "weather was terrible and river bad". A few days later on 5/26 "River was bad last night. Could not cross so stayed all night with Peggy". Also references to "Mei Foo" which may be a bus in China. 6/1 "We are planning to go to Hankou on Mei Foo not sure yet." Many entries regarding political unrest: 6/1 "Today chinese have big parade against Japan and foreigners" on 6/5 "came back and had our dinner on the British gun boat 'Crickett'.city under strict law". On 6/7 "Things worse in the city" and on 6/12 she writes; "Foreigners killed in Hankou. Mr. Hobart was here expects things will be worse". On the lighter side back on 2/18 is a popular movie reference-"Sorry E. her husband Ed missed the picture last night 'Hunchback of Notre Dame'. I've seen it but wanted him to see it also". A subject that shows up in many entries is relations with the "help".2/9-."cook has asked for a raise to $18.00 we gave him $16.00 for now." 5/8 "had an argument with boy today so he left. Am without a boy now and Awah is still sick". 5/19 "Came home and found servants all gone have to fine them dollar each". 8/19 "one of the servants evidently stole Miss Norelico's money. Had exciting time the sisters had police in but could not find who took it". Again more boat traveling; "went to SOCONY place to wait for boat". 8/21 "Arrived Hankow about two o'clock . Capt Hoey met Mrs. Dressel. Came to Mr. Nichols house. Mrs. N is still away". 10/30 she writes "received telegram today saying we are transferred to Wuhu as soon as we are able to travel". 11/25 "Reached Hankow this morning went to office first with Ed waited in Mr. Porterfield's office. Went to Mrs. Bakes with her porter". New Year's Eve: "Finally decided not to go as chinese to costume party. Dressed up as small girl." There is also a receipt from a confectioners store with a Tientsin printed but "Changsha" written in the blank 4//11/25 I checked the date and author must have picked up some sweets to take on the way to "Mrs. Hobart's 'skiaki' party"$3.40 worth. The cover of the 1925 5&1/2" x 7&1/4" diary is quite worn there is splitting at front/back endpapers exposing weave but both boards holding well and overall G.

1930-1931 Diary of an Ill-Fated Chinese Educator and Newlywed Educated in America Settling Down in Shanghai to Support Her Husbands Career and Have a Child

19300012003New York St. Paul Minnesota Singapore Shanghai China. Good with no dust jacket. 1930-1931. Hardcover. On offer is the two-year diary of Ruth Mui-Kang Pau of Foochow China who spent 13 years in the United States completing her education in St. Paul Minnesota and New York City. During that time she also met and married her beau Dr. Jiu-Ching Hsia before returning to China to start their adult lives. Ruth kept this diary during the first two years of married life during which time the couple visited Singapore and settled in Shanghai. To learn more about Ruth and her husband Dr. Jiu-Ching J. C. Hsia and their tragic love story please see BIO NOTES below. The diary begins on January 1 1930 with Ruth and her husband in Singapore visiting her parents: Singapore early A. M. Very sickTaxied to fathers. Hard time to find place. Tears in fathers eyes all day. Saw mother in back roomIn bed all day. Called Dr. Hotel in P. M. Later in January Ruth and J. C. Board a boat to Shanghai China. They are hosted by a Dr. Wu and his wife. Dr. Wu sees patients in the front of the house while they live in the back. Ruth tours Shanghai with Mrs. Wu and other women. J. C. Gets acclimatized to his new job and they go house hunting. Ruth does a nice job describing her first weeks in Shanghai: Peking Rd. - dirty with furniture stores on both sidesshops so small and packed full. Furniture and no one to workin P. M. We went to Ave. Joffre Huaihai Rd to look for cloth to make me a warm Chinese dress. No success January 27 1930. By spring of 1930 J. C. Is thriving in his new job as Shanghai Sales Manager of American Aluminum Ltd: $650 worth of foil! Hes taking orders quite often now. Am very glad for him. Hehas persistence. Went to have Typhoid shot - 2nd one May 17 1930Ruth consistently records J. Cs sales proudly throughout 1930 and often notes how much money he makes as well as the amount of aluminum he sells. Sadly the heart condition that would ultimately kill Ruth is already causing issues: .I became sick after they left. May be from working in hot kitchen. After lying down for 20 min my heart was still beating 120. J. C. Carried me upstairs! . May 18 1930. Ruth and J. C. Struggle with a problem many adult children who are educated abroad face: their parents asking for money. As Ruth and J. C. Are just starting out this is a challenge for them: .Letter fr. Spore still asking for money and said we must do it rt. Away. Made me sore. Father thinks we have the money and are just keeping it. Told J. C. To explain to Mr. Lee our condition and that I was trying to find work etc. May 26 1930. The requests for money are compounded by relatives coming to stay with the newlyweds such as J. C. s uncle who stays for months and causes Ruth much financial stress. In July of 1930 Ruth writes that their bank suddenly closed - fortunately they did not have much money deposited - averting catastrophe for the family. Ruth works for the Wu familys restaurant until she gets a job teaching which is her chosen field. She and J. C. Both work and Ruth does the majority of the homemaking. In February of 1931 Ruth tells her diary she is pregnant. She is high-risk due to her pre-existing heart condition. Ruth spends most of 1931 feeling awful and her physician is not comfortable with her pregnancy or the thought of her labouring: April 13 1931 - Cold almost done. To sch. Again after vacation. Made appt. With Dr. Arllerton for 5: 30 J. C. Could go with me. Saw her. Tall grey hairedwoman. Not friendly. Well let you go on with this pregnancy. shed affect you. We can terminate it at any time. Youll need artificial help in delivery. Not wise for me thru labor. Heart bad. Muscles of head strong. April 13 1931. Early pregnancy is tough on Ruth. Her Memoranda for April 1931 reads in part: Heart very bad. Extra beats. Sometimes missed a beat or two. Even J. C. Cd sic hear my heart beat when lying beside me in bed. Ruth continues working at the school as long as possible but finds it challenging. She always keeps up with the news of the day and notes : .Have to work now because I have to head home so often finding it hard to breathe. Usually I do nothing during 1st part of A. M. Paper today says Thomas Edison died yest. sic! J. C. Brot sic home package fr. Sarah- blankets etc. He also had $5.32 worth of paper brushes etc. For this classmate of his who wrote him a long time ago that it was his duty to support the family! J. C. Sent $ in May October 19 1931. Ruths final entry is on October 22 1931. Her son John I-Sheng Hsia would be born four days later on October 26. We know that Ruth dies of her heart condition in March 1936. Ruths diary is a treasure. It is a treat to follow a young couple with such a rich Chinese-American history See BIO NOTES BELOW and experience the first two years of their newlywed life. Ruth and J. C. s story is one of enduring love hard work hope and perseverance. A must-have for anyone who studies the experience of international students moving back to their country of origin after graduation as well as a deep look into the life of a woman with chronic illness who fights for a normal life against all odds. Ruth does not write every day but when she does write it is in a tiny but legible hand and very descriptive. Ruth keeps this diary from Jan. 1 1930 through Oct. 22 1931. The 5-year diary measures 5.5"x4.5" has 365 pages plus memoranda sections and is about 25% complete. The cover is a soft leather and is intact with some signs of wear present. Pages have some age toning present. There is a clasp which has been opened and no key. The spine is in fine condition though the pages are pulling away from the spine but still intact. Overall G.

She was married to Patrick Dolan an American who worked in broadcast media WBBM Radio see Oct 6 1939. Casual research does not turn up any biographical data but there are many context clues within the diaries and accompanying papers. The diaries span the years 1931 through 1940 in 2 five-year volumes. In the first volume she is still a journalism student at the University of Illinois. The diary is filled with references to school assignments and her busy social life. "My paper went to the printers intact - but oh did I get 'squelched' by Miss Russell. She pains me." Jan 8 1931. She details many many dates and social events that she attends: "Went to Worlds Fair. Tried to get a job at Libbys through W.F. personnel office - no luck . " June 6 1934.

She also meets another journalist: "Met a cute man - PAT DOLAN born in Ireland and educated in Ireland."Nov 20 1935.

She has travelled extensively in Europe including the UK Ireland the Netherlands Paris etc. In addition to the diaries there is a collection of papers that include telegrams from her husband cards and notes from friends loose-leaf journals photographs newspaper clippings ticket stubs and much more. This collection is truly a time capsule. It is written by a well-educated woman with a good eye for detail and an excellent manner of communicating. For a historian this is a treasure trove especially the time she spent in Europe on the eve of WWII. Whether places of interest major events or commentary on life as she sees and experiences it these diaries and papers are an outstanding resource.

She listens to the Victrola goes home to Detroit on weekends by train just a great peek into her life during the glorious 1930's.

1935-1937 Diary of a Boy Crazy Popular Sayville New Yorker Who Writes from Age 17 to 19 and While Completing High School and Who Would One Day Become a Journalist and Historian

0011109Sayville New York. Very Good with no dust jacket. Hardcover. On offer is a fascinating journal of a young American woman Ruth Harris Diuguid Dougherty Fallon 1917-2007. Born and raised in Sayville New York Diuguid lived most of her life in or near Brooklyn. She married Frederick Howard Dougherty 1918-2004 in 1940 and subsequently Robert Edwards Fallon 1917-2012 in 1987. Ruth and Frederick had two daughters. Ruth was a housewife but on the side she was a published journalist and photographer. She published articles in magazines such as Seventeen but was best known for her historical newspaper articles in the Suffolk County News where she wrote a column called Reflections of the Past about the history of Sayville New York. Ruth also served on the world-wide governing council of the Girl Scouts and was an active member of the Sayville Historical Society. Ruth was 17 when she began this diary in 1935. She was a high school junior at Sayville High School. She crams every single page with detailed entries of the type of personal and social events that are of such crucial importance to a teenager. While the diary is set up to be kept over five years Ruth writes voraciously and the vast majority of the entries are 1935-1937. On some pages the entry for a single day will take up most of the page with entries for other years jotted in the margins or skipped. The diary opens with a Notice: To whoever takes the liberty of reading this diary may it reflect upon their character and be a curse to them if they use the contents against me or those mentioned or to embarrass me or those herein Flyleaf. And with that dire warning she launches in to a breathless description of her life with family and friends. The entries are very long so these are mostly just excerpts: Went to school. I had little homework to finish. I am going with the gang to see Tommy Richards who was stabbed but some of them appeared . Maybe I ought to introduce most of the gang they are the boys and girls of the neighbourhood .she then goes on to list over a dozen friends including Freddie Dougherty whom she would later marry Jan 3 1935. Went to school for an hour in the morning to take English mid-term. I think I barely passed. Bee Vi & I went to Metropolitan Theatre to see Folies Bergere. Had soda in Lofts. Vi & I went to store for mom.Vi Helen Connie Flo Margie and I walked to Bobs sat on steps listening to his orchestra play awhile. Some young boys followed us. Met the boys from our gang on our block. Stood talking a while Apr 3 1935. School. No assembly. Harold & I wandered around a while then went to baseball game. SHS vs Bayshore . We won 5-0. Water pistols were numerous in grandstand May 22 1936. Wednesday work. A day I have long been awaiting arrived - I took my driving test for my senior license! Ma drove me down by 11: 00 to PatchogueGranville Ave. The man was so nice. We carried on quite a conversation. He visited Daddys business in Brooklyn years ago. I didnt do perfectly but I may have passed and I may not have. I do hope I did. I took mom to lunch in the Bonnie Mart. We looked in stores. I had lunch. At home I cleaned my car as I do once in a while. Thenwent to the beach. I later went to library. We felt the urge to study. I get biology and French. Joe and John came down before we had towith work. At church meeting Howie said he had a compliment to tell me nice to hear that the most enjoyable evening he ever spent was at Darcys party. I can only say Ifind it enjoyable to when Howie is concerned August 19 1936. For a social historian this is a terrific look into the lives led by American teenagers during the pre-war years. It would be an excellent source record for a Womens Studies program particularly as it shows a lifestyle that was about to undergo a radical change with WWII and the post war years in America. For a genealogist it offers and outstanding list of names and connections in this community including the school community of Sayville High School. This diary measures 5.25 inches by 4.0 inches and contains 365 pages. The covers are in good condition as is the binding. The pages are in good condition although there is some slight ink blotting in places. The handwriting is tight but generally legible. ; Manuscripts; 24mo 5" - 6" tall; 365 pages; Signed by Author . hardcover

1940 SUPER ORIGINAL PRE-STATE OF ISRAEL DIARY HANDWRITTEN BY A YOUNG IMMIGRANT GIRL DETAILING A FULL AND COMPLETE LIFE IN THE HOLY LAND WHILE THE DARK DESTRUCTIVE BACK DROP OF WWII LOOMS

19360008193HAIFA ISRAEL. Good. 1936. On offer is a notebook and diary In Hebrew authored by Ruth Aschner a daughter of German refugees who came to Israel in mid-1930s. The notebook measures 81' x 62' contains 138 pages and is 90% complete. The pages are slightly yellowed and there are some scribbles on the cover and some pages but otherwise the condition is good and the handwriting is very legible. On the 41st page there is text: "General notebook of Ruth Aschner Carmel Mountain Ben-Zion Neighborhood Aschner House" followed by a record dated 1937 with rules of a ball game rules. Though cursory search did not reveal much information it is clear from the context that the family came to Mandatory Palestine in mid-1930s at the time Ruth was writing her diary she was between 11 -14 years old her father worked at "Migdal" most likely Migdal insurance company - Ruth writes about his trips to Jerusalem on business and in one of the entries writes that someone broke into his car and stole his work documents "acts" "everything collected during the months of work in MIgdal". The first 80 pages are school notes including conjugation tables reading and grammar rules with explanations in German writing practice in Hebrew riddles and jokes lists of books a list of about 140 pictures from Degel cigarette packs Kedem tobacco company a list of students with their birthdays and more. The most interesting part is 46 pages titled "Private Diary belonging to Ruth Aschner from September 1940 to the end of May 1941". The entries vary in length there are usually 3 to 5 entries on each page but there are some that take more than one page. It could be a typical description of everyday life of a school girl but almost every entry includes details reflecting the most tragic and turbulent time in the 20th century history. She writes about Italian bombings of Haifa SS Patria disaster Yugoslavia Coup d'Etat death of Greek Prime Minister Metaxas. The very first entry starts with description of a bombing: "In the afternoon the Rozens came to visit us suddenly there was an attack the siren did not work all the bombs fell into the sea. Then we went to a dressmaker that is making a dress and a school skirt for me. Yehudit Ben-Zion and her family moved to another apartment not close." Sept. 6 1940. Italian bombings of Mandatory Palestine during WW2 were targeting ports and refineries in Palestine primarily Haifa and Tel-Aviv. Haifa was hit many times since June 1940 the bombings continued until June 1941 and so does her diary - along with describing bombings sirens hiding in shelter she writes about weather school trips scout activities music lessons entertainment: "In the afternoon I have a music lesson. In the morning Yehudit came here . For dinner I made salad - tomatoes with salt onion oil and vinegar. At 2.30 p.m. there was an attack again we ran to the bomb shelter the bombs fell near the "refinery" the siren was late as usually. At 7.10 there was an attack I was at Dalia's .The news are not clear. ". Sept. 8 1940; "In the morning at 8.45 the siren sounded - we ran to the shelter I was still in pajamas.I helped mother later I will go to the shoemaker.there have been 5 attacks already and in all of them tanks were burning. Together with those that I mentioned there were 8. At 2.10 the siren sounded again and we ran to the shelter . did not hear anything.then I was in the middle of dishwashing. Then there was another attack at 2.30 we did not hear anything ran to the shelter then after all-clear signal we went up. In the evening I will go to the dressmaker to try clothes on. Two letters came today one from England one from America. At 5 in the evening there was another attack and we ran to the shelter again. It makes you crazy - 4 times during the day.terrible. . Dad Harry and Paula will go to the cinema to see "Verdi" in the evening ." Sept.9 1940. On that day there were no casualties in Haifa but 147 people were killed in Tel-Aviv about which she writes 3 days later: "On 9.9 there was a bombing in Tel-Aviv about 120 people were killed 100 of them Jewish. Jews were destroyed and injured at their homes. Enemy airplanes were flying low after the event the siren sounded." In November another tragic event happens this time in Haifa: "Several days ago there arrived a ship with refugees from Germany and occupied countries she has been in the port for a week already and the English do not allow them to get off . There are some people we know like Epstein and other.". In November three ships with over 3600 Jewish refugees arrived in Haifa but the British refused their entry and the passengers were transferred to another ship SS Patria. Yishuv leaders organized a general strike but it had little effect: "19.11 40: today there is a strike at 12:00 until midnight because they do not want to allow people to get off from the ship ." On November 25 overloaded SS Patria sank because of the explosion: "25.11. Disaster happened.The ship Patria sank. Do not know why it happened. They say that it exploded but it is only rumours. People did not drown but 30 were injured and transported to Hadassah. The others are sitting in the port without clothes so we organized into groups and stations and collected clothes and blankets for the refugees." Unfortunately she was wrong - over two hundred and seventy people drowned 172 were injured. As it became known many years later the explosion was organized by Haganah members as an attempt to prevent the ship from leaving the port but they miscalculated the size of explosion. She also writes about political news from Europe there is a part titled "politics" in some of her entries - usually it is a newspaper clipping accompanied by her comments: "I think that instead of writing what I think is right it would be better to take pieces from newspaper in newspapers they know politics better than I do". The clippings include an article about death of Greek Prime-minister Ioannis Metaxas a headline about certificates issued to Jewish refugees and an article about Belgrade Coup D'Etat of March 27 1941 that replaced pro-Nazi government with young King Peter II opposing to Nazi Germany: "Big revolution in Yugoslavia. Regent Paul left the young King Peter 17.5 years old came to power against Hitler and the old Prime-minister was arrested because he wanted to support Hitler Peter is a "terribly" nice boy he immediately became loved I like him very much. 17 year old boy and the king very very unusual." Apr. 3 1941. She writes about events important for the Jewish community in Palestine like a few lines about Henrietta Szold birthday and about the death of Dov Hoz Labor Zionist leader in a car accident. Her diary is a great evidence of what life for Jewish refugees was like in pre-state Israel. She mentions many movies and performances they saw: "I went with the parents now to "Matate" - "Lights in darkness" and will come back in the evening." "Matate" was a satirical theatre established in 1928. There are several detailed descriptions of her trips with Tzofim Jewish scouts to Tiberias Hurshat Ha'arbaim Kibbutz Yagur and Druz village Isfiya as well as of small family trips to Jerusalem. She writes about her friends and family birthdays and even gives the recipe of a chocolate fish she made for her father. This is an excellent document of life in Mandatory Palestine during the first years of the Second World War. It contains references to many historical events as seen by a young girl and provides valuable information for local historians and genealogists including names of local residents Aschner family and friends students and teachers from Ruth's school and Tzofim movement many with their birthdays. It also contains information about cultural events in the city and school program and activities.; Manuscript; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF; 1940s; 20TH CENTURY; WW2 SECOND WORLD WAR; ITALIAN BOMBINGS OF HAIFA; HAIFA REFINERY BOMBINGS; LIFE OF JEWISH IMMIGRANTS IN PRE-STATE ISRAEL; MANDATORY PALESTINE; ISRAEL; PRE-STATE ISRAEL; JEWISH REFUGEES IN MANDATORY PALESTINE; REFUGEES FROM NAZI GERMANY; HEBREW SCHOOLS IN MANDATORY PALESTINE; "MATATE" SATIRICAL THEATRE; READING PATTERNS OF JEWISH YOUTHS IN PRE-STATE ISRAEL; PATRIA DISASTER; HURSHAT HA'ARBAIM; BEN-ZION NEIGHBORHOOD HAIFA; SCHOOL TRIPS IN MANDATORY PALESTINE; ISFIYA; MOUNT CARMEL; YAGUR; YUGOSLAV COUP D'ETAT KING PETER II OF YUGOSLAVIA; IOANNIS METAXAS; HAR CARMEL WATER TOWER; CARMEL MOUNTAIN; TZOFIM; HEBREW SCOUTS MOVEMENT; JEWISH YOUTH MOVEMENT; MIGDAL COMPANY; DOV HOZ; JEWISH YOUTH IN MANDATORY PALESTINE; IMMIGRATION TO PRE-STATE ISRAEL; FIFTH ALIYAH; FIFTH WAVE OF IMMIGRATION TO ISRAEL; YISHUV; HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS DIARY DIARIES JOURNALS PERSONAL HISTORY SOCIAL HISTORY HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL ANTIQUITÉ CONTRAT VÉLIN DOCUMENT MANUSCRIT PAPIER ANTIKE BRIEF PERGAMENT DOKUMENT MANUSKRIPT PAPIER OGGETTO D'ANTIQUARIATO ATTO VELINA DOCUMENTO MANOSCRITTO CARTA ANTIGÜEDAD HECHO VITELA DOCUMENTO MANUSCRITO PAPEL . hardcover

Helen Louise Burrows Stuetzer, Ruth BurrowsBiblio.com

1940s Manuscript Letters on Love Child Rearing and the Polio Epidemic Both Connected to a Prominent New England Artist

0012051Charlottesville Virginia VA. Good with no dust jacket. None. On offer is a small archive of two manuscript letters that interestingly connect an ill-fated marriage child rearing practices in the mid-20th century and polio virus control restrictions in 1945. Both letters are connected to the Stuetzer and Burrows families specifically to the relationship and marriage of Helen Louise Burrows Stuetzer later Sleeper 1922-2008 and Thomas Stefan Neafsey Stuetzer Sr. 1923-1977. Helen was the third child of Ruth Griffin and Harold Melville Burrows and grew up in Charlottesville Virginia attending Lane High School and the University of Virginia. Helen was a well-known artist opening painting studios in Gloucester Rockport and Newburyport Massachusetts. She was a Member of the Portrait Society of America and the International Society of Marine Painters the Dunwoody Fine Arts Association and the Portrait Society of Georgia. Her paintings are being sold to this day. Thomas Sr. Served as a 1st Lieutenant in the US Air Force in World War 2. He later worked as a broadcast executive for the Associated Press in Dallas Texas. Helen and Thomas married in 1944 and had one son in 1945. In 1953 Helen filed for a divorce citing desertion as the reason. Helen went on to marry Jacob Henry Sleeper in 1957. Sleeper worked as a collections officer and had served as a PFC in the US Army during the war. The first letter is written by Helen from her family home in Charlottesville Virginia to Thomas Sr. While he was stationed at Moore Air Base during World War Two. The letter foreshadows Helen and Thomas future. However when read without the benefit of hindsight it simply reads as the letter of a girl madly in love with a boy and asking the boy to love her back. Dated only June 8th Helen writes to Thomas and asks him why he is continuing to hurt her when all she does is show him love. She is confused as to how he feels about her and reminds him that she needs to give a months notice at her job and will move to be with him if he says yes. An excerpt follows: Must you keep hurting me with bitter words You know I can never stop loving you and that I want to be with you more than anythingEach time youve asked me to come see you Ive said I would if youd send me the money. Once you simply ignored it then the next time you went on a spreeTell me as soon as you can if you think Im worth itThe second letter answers any question as to Thomas response to the June 8th letter. It is also sent from Helens family home. This time it is written by Helens mother Ruth and addressed to Helen who is now Mrs. Thomas N. Stuetzer. Helen and Thomas married on August 15 1944 and their son Thomas Neafsy Stuetzer Jr. was born almost exactly nine months later on May 10 1945. Ruth writes to Helen on July 23 1945 when baby Tommy or Tom-Tom is only two months old. For an unknown reason Helen is living with Thomas Sr. In his hometown of Port Washington New York and the baby is with Helens parents. In the nine-page letter Ruth writes at length to her daughter Helen updating her on baby Tommy and the care she is providing. It reads like a high-level overview of popular child-rearing practices of 1945. Ruth also shares details about neighbors and Helens younger brother Harold Jr. who is deployed. As the letter draws to a close Ruth requests money to help with Tommys care and discusses the current health restrictions related to the polio epidemic and its impact on Tommy. Some excerpts follow: .Tommy is really the most appealing young man Ive ever seen. I give him the cod liver oil and orange juice and outside of a yell and a funny face he always makes he keeps it down and is glad to get to the orange juice. Ive called Dr. Birdsong only once cause he was having cold feet and he asked me about pajamas. I reminded him the little one was only two months oldhe said put socks on him. He is asleep now as contented as the cows that give Carnation Milk for himI know you want to see and be with him and you also want to be with Tommy Sr. . Ive been hoping you both could see your way clear to come down and be with us all some too but it may not be that you canOne of the neighbors and I have our eye on a colored girl we can use between us at 7 dollars each a week. So if you and Tommy can send us 10 dollars per week that will cover all expenses practically I want to getLittle Tommy Jr. A Kiddie Korp which will be 37 dollars but he is bound to have that.since you wrote theres a ban on traveling also the radio is broadcasting its polio epidemic: keep babies away from people crowds etc. Swat all flies. Do not go in parks for swimming. Tommy Jr. Is safe. I watch him every minute. No one comes near him. Taken together these two letters provide insight into wartime romantic entanglements and the lengths families go to to provide the best lives for their children both their adult children and infants. The second letter provides surprising detail as to the daily life of an infant in the 1940s under the shadow of the polio epidemic. These letters would make an impactful addition to any collection that relates to WW2 pediatrics family studies or sociology. Both letters are in good condition with creases from where they have been folded but no obvious rips or tears. All writing is legible. Both include addressed envelopes but only one has its stamp. Overall Good. ; Letters; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 10 pages; Signed by Author . unknown

1942 -1949 ORIGINAL GROUP OF 12 DIARY LIKE LETTERS HANDWRITTEN BY A NOTED MISSIONARY BRINGING CHRISTIAN AID AND EDUCATION IN PARTS OF NIGERIA AND THE SUDAN WHERE NO WHITE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SEEN BEFORE

19420002274SUDAN NIGERIA BRITISH WEST AFRICA. Very Good. 1942. On offer is a super group of 12 fascinating original manuscript and typed letters written by American missionary Ruth Warfield born circa 1910 of the Sudan Interior Mission from northern Nigeria British West Africa circa 1942 - 1949. The letters are full of insightful and significant entries detailing her life as a missionary in remote parts of Nigeria in the 1940s with the looming backdrop of World War II. Wonderfully detailed we learn that she travels by bicycle takes her Hausa native language exams mentions the conditions of fellow missionaries visits remote villages a large baptismal of 300 a tragedy at a village where fire had destroyed the entire area a plan of new church building and use of made bricks. A letter of her recent visits with Miss Helen Watkins who fell ill and needed to get to a remote clinic. She mentions the death of Dr. Stirrett's in detail at his home in Nigeria and subsequent funeral. There are some very detailed descriptions of long journeys into remote areas by bicycle or on foot these are her long trips visiting SIM schools with a Miss Watkins a fellow missionary. A nice map is included on hand laid paper of Nigeria showing SIM mission stations. Here are some snippets: Sudan Interior Mission Jos Nigeria British West Africa 1948 "On our arrival at Zampur Helen became very ill with a high temperature and a bad chest cold The next day she developed Pleurisy and for several days couldn't even turn over in bed with out help. There we were miles out in the bush and there was no possible way to move her and get her to a doctor." "Just about two weeks ago now Miss Watkins and I drove up to Kono 372 miles from here .She had to go to help give some of our missionaries their second Hasa exam examination and since she has an infection in her foot and had orders from her doctor to stay off her feet I did the driving. Roni is 60 miles from Kano. On that road besides the washboards. There are holes and if we went to fast to avoid the washboards we hit these holes and if we went to slow we bounded all over the place. The boys in the Roni School are all waifs that have been sent from." British West Africa 1949 "These past few weeks have been busy ones for me. I went out on trek the last of Oct. and was gone for two weeks. I spent five days in one village where no white person had ever slept before. I stayed in the chiefs compound in a grass hut- grass mats formed the walls and than there was a grass roof. I certainly was a curiosity as was everything I had and did. I woman asked me if I had toes on my feet like they did SO I proceeded to show her!" "When we reached the town we found that disaster struck. The people had been dismayed a week or so earlier because of several sudden deaths in the town and now just the night before I reached there fire had swept through and nearly half the town. Most of the people had lost everything. The roofs were made of grass and so burned readily and many had dug out the back walls of the houses to save their own lives and what possessions they could. We are out traveling again as usual and have been away from Jos now for over three weeks. This has been a hard trip and it seems everything has gone wrong. First we had trouble with the car. Then I went to a school where I had to walk just over four miles not far but it was up one steep hill and down another. In getting there I was soaked through with dew and coming back drenched with rain. Another school I had to get to be 12 miles from where we were staying. Another school I was trying to get to be about 8 miles to get there and was carried on the back of an African across five streams." BACKGROUND NOTES: One online source provides: Lifelong Missionaries: Women Return to Africa and 'a Place in the Heart' November 25 1987 MICHAEL GRANBERRY Times Staff Writer: Helen Watkins 83 and Ruth Warfield 77 have crisscrossed Africa on bicycle and foot by car and train. They have eluded pagan spirit warriors and towed 17-foot mobile homes over choppy African roads. They have heard the too-near roar of lions. They've brought the Gospel of Jesus into Muslim-controlled areas and faced what they termed "serious hostility." They persuaded the men of the Kagoro tribe to stop beating their wives only to be told by one man "We don't know if we like this Christianity. How can we free ourselves . . . of our frustrations" Watkins and Warfield are lifelong missionaries retired and out of Africa since 1979. They live in Carlsbad in a mountainside development owned by Sudan Interior Mission the interdenominational delegation both have served for more than three decades. Recently they decided to go back to Africa--for a three-month visit. "Imagine that 'at their age' " Warfield said. "I'm sure people will think that; some may even say it. But we feel great. We can't wait to get on that plane."
