007120No Place: No publisher. Pamphlet. Good. No publisher or place perhaps Montgomery Alabama. 1870. Pamphlet disbound from a larger work. 16 pp. A printing of a short letter undersigned by Thomas M. Peters and Alex. White and addressed to William H. Smith then governor of Alabama followed with a lengthy response to the letter by Smith. The first letter questions the governor's efforts in Alabama including that he had 'been indifferent or inert in your efforts to enforce the laws in punishing Ku-Klux outrages murders and assassinations' as well as mentioning that 'Union men dare not speak their sentiments in Alabama.' Smith answers the letter by citing his efforts to adhere to the policies of Reconstruction as well as the struggles to get Alabama citizens and delegates to go along with the US government stipulations. He also contradicts the claims of indifference to Ku-Klux Klan crimes as well as pointing out that he and other Republicans feel safe in Alabama and are under no threat of assassination. The letters are dated July 6 and July 9th of 1870. William H. Smith was the first Republican governor of Alabama and was considered a pro-Union advocate despite being a former owner of enslaved persons. One of the letter writers Thomas M. Peters may have been the pro-Union politician and State Supreme Court judge nominated by the Republican party Alabama Government Archives website. GOOD condition. Minor browning and very light foxing to the piece. A few faint fold creases present. No publisher unknown

020868Aransas Pass TX: Published By the Author. Wraps. Good. no date perhaps 1955. Side stapled wraps 8 ½ by 11 inches. 12 pp. including covers. Second and perhaps final issue of this zine created by Maril Shrewsbury. Although listed as a member of FAPA Fantasy Amateur Press Association this zine appears to have little to nothing to do with fantasy in the sense meant. Shrewsbury was a carnival worker who was tasked with painting 12 by 26 inch pictures in under 6 minutes see Fancyclopedia 3 website. Her first issue of Heck drew heavily on carnival life and culture while this issue only offers two pages of insight into the culture. The rest is devoted to snippets of letters subtle sexual innuendo etc. All said this zine feels well ahead of its time. GOOD condition. Uneven toning and fading along the extremities. Heavy toning to the interior. Published By the Author unknown
