021224No Place: No publisher. Unbound. Very Good. 8 by 10 inch glossy photos. No publisher place or date. The photographs are loosely contained in a manila folder with the name of Colonel L.B. de Long typed on it. Affixed to the interior is a copy of a letter addressed to someone working for an insurance company dated September 9 1952. This letter suggests meeting a John Mead and Colonel L.B. deLong who apparently handled "lots of interesting towage and construction projects in Alaska Greenland etc." The photographs are primarily shots of the pier that would make the Port of Thule being constructed depicting metal pipes platforms etc. with some icebergs visible as well as Dundas Mountain in the background. One shot depicts two former Navy vessels which may have been used as temporary housing for workers. They are the USNS General Stuart Heintzelman and the USNS General A W Greely. One photo depicts a ship moored and another depicts a ship just offshore. Pituffik Space Base Thule Air Base was originally built in 1951 and is the northernmost US military installation. It has gained more interest recently due to a US president's inane obsession with Greenland. The website icyseas . org indicates that the Port of Thule is the northernmost deep water port in the world and was constructed in three weeks. It was meant to be a temporary port but is still in use today. It also appears from that website that the pier depicted in these photos is sometimes referred to as the deLong Pier. These are from an executive of a very large international insurance firm name of owner and firm withheld for privacy. 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. Photos in VERY GOOD condition with minor toning and general curling. No publisher unknown

Appears disbound from a larger work. 31 pp. including three odes in the rear. The third ode appears to have been published in 1801 and was perhaps included as an afterthought Evans makes no mention of this ode.

The Philandrian Society was a secret society established at Brown University that was 'dedicated to the cultivation of friendship' with meetings held in which lectures on politeness or other moral or literary subjects were given see Mitchell: Encyclopedia Brunoniana online on the Brown University website.

016607No Place: No Publisher. Unbound. Good. No place or date presumed Dover New Hampshire circa 1869. Blue lined letter paper measuring approximately 10 by 8 inches. Blindstamp reading "Learned" within an emblem of some sort at the top left of each page. Pages attached along the left edge originating as single sheets folded into pages. 8 pages with 3 ¼ pages written on. "Libel for Divorce S.J. Hall vs D Hall" written on the reverse of one page. PLEASE NOTE: the truth to this letter and its contents has not at this time been verified. Research in local records and other sources has not turned up a record of a marriage between a Sarah J. Christie and Daniel Hall. A Daniel Hall did live in Dover New Hampshire during this period. He was a lawyer and served as an aide to President Lincoln. He may have spent time learning law in Dover under Daniel M. Christie who did have a daughter named Sarah J. Christie. Records do indicate a later marriage for her. It is possible that this is perhaps some sort of spoof or satire letter written for entertainment or other reasons unknown. Names of other residents of the area are included in the letter. A handwritten petition submitted to the Court of Chancery in Dover New Hampshire apparently written and signed by Sarah J. Hall maiden name Christie seeking a divorce from her husband Daniel Hall. The letter gives the date of marriage the location of the marriage ceremony and the justice of the peace who presided and asserts the author "has faithfully performed her duties devolving upon her as a faithful affectionate and loving woman." Ms. Hall then proceeds to state that Daniel has "wantonly cruelly and without any provocation whatever wholly abandoned and deserted her the said Sarah and left her destitute." Continuing the letter asserts that "Daniel wholly regardless of his duty as a husband . has at divers varied and sundry times and in immeasurable places and in promiscuous assemblies frequented the company of and consorted with divers strange and fascinating women." He is accused of writing letters filled with "protestations of love and undying attachment" and had passed himself off as being single. A particular incident is noted perhaps 1869 or 1859 date somewhat illegible at the house of a "notorious and public" character in Dover in which Daniel "lay his head in the lap of a certain abandoned woman." It seems Daniel also possessed a head of curly hair to the delight of his wife but that he cut off locks of said hair to give to various "beautiful and fascinating women." Secret small town scandal or satire GOOD condition. Horizontal fold creases present. Some splitting to the paper along the hinge. Some toning fading very minor spotting and soiling to the letter.
