1861022383Good. 1861. Ephemera. A historic hymn that was written to Joseph Slichter a private in the Civil War from his brother Jacob Slichter of Hummelstown PA. Dated December 30th 1861. Manuscript letter is written in a clear hand. Letter has moderate toning foxing and soiling; previous owner has written "old letters" in blue ink. The letter was "coppiedsic by Edwin Bower Hummelstown Dec. 30th 1861 by request of Jacob Slichter to his brother Joseph Slichter in the army 3d Reg. Co. D. P. R.V.C. under Captain Briner in Gen McClellan Division." We do not know who first authored this hymn but we found other versions of it with stanzas in differing order but all with the same tone. The hymn is a sad one written from the perspective of a man telling his brother that he is dying: "Harken to me brother harken! I hark something I would say/Ere the veil my vision darken and I go from earth away;/I am dying brother dying; soon you'll miss me from your berth/And my form will soon be lying neath the ocean's briny surf " We found that a Jacob Slichter was aHummelstown PA Methodist minister in 1861. We hope that he was not dying when this hymn was sent to his brother but if he was it was done in a beautiful way. Joseph Slichter enlisted in Co. "D" of the 3rd Pennsylvania Reserves 32nd Infantry and mustered out on 6/17/1864 at Philadelphia PA. The 3rd Pennsylvania Reserves fought at Turner's Gap in the Battle of South Mountain and at the Battle of Antietam. ; 7 1/2" x 12"; 3 pp . unknown books

"A society sterile and corrupt itself sentences its outcasts to 'Ultra Conscience' and the ring. Ultra Conscience -- the society's moral code imprinted by computer into the subconscious of the outcast -- and the ring -- a shocking device sealed on the finger -- operate in conjunction to form a prison of the mind. Though still holding the same beliefs and inclinations as before 'ringers' many not even entertain a thought contrary to Ultra Conscience without a cruel shock from the ring." - Berger Science Fiction and the New Dark Age p. 107. Perversely the authors' victimized hero "realizes that the ring is in fact a good idea in this vision of an unusually coercive technological utopia." - Pringle The Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction second edition p. 305.
