019671No Place: No publisher. Unbound. Good. Collection of 15 invitations to US State dinners wedding invitations and other similar events. All various sizes and pagination. Some include dinner menus seating information. All from the same private collection from an executive of a very large international insurance firm name of owner and firm withheld for privacy. The previous owner saved these items for an apparent planned scrapbook mounting most on paper with either glue or staples. The owner was a highly placed executive in an insurance company and travelled throughout the world extensively. They were active in politics through donations and fundraising and it appears their family was friendly with the Roosevelts especially Eleanor Roosevelt. The previous owner's work for the insurance company led them to meet with various heads of state worldwide including US government officials. Some of the people associated with this firm were also involved in World War II activities including financing the Flying Tigers in China as well as work for the OSS using knowledge gained from insurance work. While we have not found any direct connection to intelligence work by this owner their ties to those who did are strong. NB: we are starting the process of cataloguing four boxes of material from this individual both personal and business correspondence. More information on the collection available on request. Included in this lot: invitation to a 1966 dinner in honor of Takeo Fukuda Japanese Minister of Finance; invitation to a 1966 dinner in honor of Ferdinand Marcos President of the Philippines; invitation to a 1966 dinner in honor of Makato Usami Governor of the Bank of Japan; Several items relating to a 1967 state dinner with the Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany including the invitation from President Johnson; a wedding announcement and invitation to the reception of the marriage of Hope Aldrich daughter of John D. Rockefeller; a several page seating list to a 1966 banquet in honor of Ferdinand Marcos and his wife; a program to the preceding event; an invitation sent by Vice President Humphrey to a 1967 luncheon with the President of Mexico; an invitation and two other items to a luncheon in honor of Nikita Khrushchev in New York in 1959; a 1959 invitation to a dinner marking the presentation of the General William J.

1796133528c.1796-97. Where gain is the object bring into harbour all the loaded merchantmen you can An outstanding and unusually comprehensive archive documenting the British-built armed brig Swallow a Liverpool privateer operating in the Caribbean under the experienced prize-master John McIver. The papers trace in exceptional detail the purchase fitting out commissioning and deployment of a late 18th-century privateering vessel anchored by impressive original Letters of Marque. Privateering was in essence a form of licensed warfare. As the Oxford Companion to Ships and the Sea defines it a privateer was "a privately owned vessel armed with guns commissioned by letters of marque which licensed them to take prizes in time of war" 1979 p. 670. This archive shows the process in action. The owners' letters to McIver convey both urgency and anxiety as they navigate the risks of long-distance operations during wartime revealing the network of merchants agents and seamen supporting the Swallow. Early letters make clear that McIver was the driving force: his kinsmen purchased the vessel "solely with the View to make a profitt by a Resale" yet were "well pleased you have taken the Command." The brig was refitted with 10 new iron cannon and furnished with Letters of Marque against French Dutch and later Spanish vessels. In late 1796 the Liverpool partners press McIver to sail immediately for Caribbean waters "in search of Spanish Prizes" while repeatedly stressing the need for constant intelligence. Their concerns deepen over slow remittances from their agent in Jamaica and uncertainty over whether to continue privateering or sell the ship. Built at East Cowes and bought on the stocks by the Royal Navy in 1781 the Swallow was sold in 1795 to a Liverpool consortium including Samuel McDowall the Twemlow family and the McIvers with McIver himself later taking a one-third share. At his urging the vessel was strengthened rearmed and commissioned. Her first Letter of Marque 12 July 1796 authorized cruising against the French and Dutch; a second January 1797 targeted Spanish shipping prompting an increase to 20 guns and a crew of 80. As Gomer Williams notes the Swallow "was not an ordinary privateer but an armed vessel specially hired by Government." McIver enjoyed some success: off Léogâne he sent into Port-au-Prince a large brig and schooner with French property aboard took other vessels and saved the Fame of Liverpool from capture. The letters also record his ancillary government work transporting governors and army officers. By 1797 however the quasi-peace following Leoben and Campo Formio curtailed her privateering activities. The archive also preserves McIver's account of capturing a small American merchantman in 1793 - a case serious enough to draw the attention of Thomas Jefferson and the British envoy George Hammond. The later history of the McIver/MacIver family forms a notable coda: their descendants became central figures in the creation of the Cunard Line partnering with Samuel Cunard and Robert Napier in the 1830s and 1840s to establish what became the British and North American Royal Steam Packet Company. This archive offers a superlative and unusually granular record of British privateering at a moment when European conflict fuelled an upsurge of activity in the Caribbean - a milieu in which as N. A. M. Rodger observes "the letter of marque was often a slender cover for piracy." A full listing with commentary is available on request. Overall in remarkably good condition. N. A. M.
