Manuscript constitution and minute book of the Union Society for the Detection of Horse Thieves and Other Stolen Property which spanned 42 years.Â The Union Society like scores of other similar groups in the Northeast created a service for the protection and recovery of private property stolen from farms and warehouses.Â It was organized by the leading horse traders and merchants of various counties in the greater Philadelphia/Wilmington area and its constitution and by-laws outlined its goals and the responsibility of its membership.Â Members of the Union Society were from Philadelphia Bethlehem Harrisburg Lancaster Peach Bottom Elkton Wilmington and New Castle and it covered all the major travel routes in these areas. Benjamin Hawley a founder of the society and his brother Simon both owners of horse-trading company were instrumental in the establishment and management of the Society.Â Simon was recording secretary for many years and it is the reason that the journal of the Society was part of the Hawley Family Archive. Some of the articles of the constitution included the responsibilities of membership the payment of dues mandatory attendance at meeting or the levy of a fine what do to if a member witnesses or is informed of a theft of a horse or property over the value of $ 30.00 and a list of rewards for the finding stolen property and the levy of 6 percent of the value of returned property from the owner.Â All members needed to brand their horses with the letter "U" on the neck of the animal to help in its identification if stolen. The minute book records the details of each meeting which mostly deal with attendance list of absent members fines for absenteeism appeals new members treasure reports and the election of officers.Â Â One of the more interesting narratives that is contained in the minutes of annual meetings was the discussion of the various routes that were to be covered if an alert made from one of its members about a stolen horse or property.Â The Union Society established 11 routes from Philadelphia and surrounding counties and to Wilmington local members were assigned to cover the route if a theft was discovered.Â For instance in West Chester Joseph Gordon was responsible for routes in and out of the town.Â In Wilmington Jonathan P. Evans was the route rider and in New Castle it was Daniel Davis.Â If a member were to cover a route looking for property and he was to be paid $ 1.00 a day for his time reimbursed for expenses and entitled for a reward. The minutes record the theft of a horse in August of 1835 from Ezekiel Evans of Lancaster one of the founding members of the Society.Â It was determined that the thief took the southern route out of Lancaster and 15 members were notified and took to road to Baltimore.Â A reward was posted for $ 50.00 by the Society and $ 25.00 by Evans.Â John Collins of Columbia traced the thief to a hotel in Meadstowne where he found the horse and secured capture of the thief.Â He was identified as John Gallagher "a notorious felon and horse thief." On September 5th 1859 the minutes record a motion to dissolve the Society.Â It was seconded and passed by a vote of 23 to 11.Â The assets of the Union Society were distributed and each member received $ 1.45. Â A small collection of papers from Hawley family are in the Chester County Historical Society.Â They pertain mostly to Joel Hawley who in addition to running his mercantile business in Lionville Uwchlan Township was elected Associate Judge of the Chester County Courts and was Director of the Bank of Chester County.Â His sons Joseph Williamson Hawley and Samuel Hawley were both fought in the Civil War and the archive at the Historical Society focuses mostly on the years 1861-1864.Â Â http://www.chestercohistorical.org/hawley-family-papers. unknown books

Japanese American Family from California Photo Archive Partially Identified 1930s-50s

1937226661937. Japanese-American California Japanese American family photograph archive a mid-twentieth-century record of Japanese American community life in California before and after the wartime incarceration of people of Japanese ancestry under Executive Order 9066 during the Second World War. The photographs mostly date between 1937 and 1940 with a few dated 1952 and 1953 preserving decades in the lives of one family navigating forced removal wartime confinement and postwar resettlement. Captions identify "Sayoko" "Sayo" "Miyoshi" and a young boy named "Kenny" creating a generational thread between prewar Japanese American life in California internment and re-acclimation to civilian life after World War II. One photograph bears a wartime military postal censorship stamp reading "Passed by Army Examiner" indicating that at least one image circulated through military screening systems used to monitor correspondence connected to wartime detention camps or military service. Archive of over sixty black and white snapshot and studio photographs depicting members of a Japanese American family associated with California between the late 1930s and early 1950s. The images include studio portraits graduation photographs informal domestic scenes travel photographs and family group portraits. Several photographs depict recognizable locations in San Francisco and Los Angeles and one studio portrait bears a photography studio stamp from Oakland suggesting family connections across both Northern and Southern California. A signed graduation portrait dated 1937 identifies a young woman as "Sayoko" while photographs from the early 1950s show a young boy identified as "Kenny" with inscriptions referencing "Sayo" likely the same individual seen in earlier images suggesting the transition from young adulthood to motherhood across the intervening wartime decade. Additional images depict a recurring young Japanese American man in glasses and formal attire a young woman identified as "Miyoshi" couples photographed aboard boats likely operating as local ferries and extended family gatherings in domestic and social settings. Several larger format photographs show women performing traditional Japanese dance in kimono within a landscaped Japanese garden while another image shows a man with two sons posed before a United States Air Force B-36 Peacemaker bomber placing that photograph in the postwar period. Photographs measure approximately 1 x 1 inches to 5 x 7 inches with most around 3 x 4 inches. Japanese American communities in California during the late 1930s maintained extensive family educational and social networks centered in cities such as San Francisco Oakland and Los Angeles. After the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941 the federal government forcibly removed more than 120000 individuals of Japanese ancestry from the West Coast and confined them in inland detention centers administered by the War Relocation Authority. Personal mail entering and leaving the camps was subject to military censorship and photographs were sometimes stamped with inspection marks such as "Passed by Army Examiner." The presence of such a mark in this archive situates the photographs within the surveillance structures surrounding wartime incarceration and suggests that family communication continued through monitored correspondence. The continuity of portraits spanning youth education wartime absence and postwar family life provides a visual sequence documenting how Japanese American families maintained kinship networks and memory across the disruption of forced relocation and confinement. Minor edge wear and occasional corner creasing to several photographs; overall good to very good condition. A cohesive photographic record documenting Japanese American family continuity across one of the most consequential decades in twentieth century West Coast Asian American history. unknown

Sinking of Titanic greatest disaster of modern times…" Babbitt and Hyde Families Benjamin Talbot Babbitt 1809-1889 was a self-made American businessman and inventor who amassed a fortune in the soap industry manufacturing Babbitt's Best Soap. He was born in 1809 in Westmoreland Oneida Co. New York the son of blacksmith Nathaniel Babbitt 1769-1855 and Betsey Holman 1768-. In 1851 he became the first to manufacture and market soap in individual bars which he packaged attractively and added a claim of quality. He took the ordinary and proved it could be turned into a marketable product. Babbitt invented most of the machinery he used in his production plants. He owned extensive ironworks and machine shops in Whitesboro New York. He held more than 100 patents. Babbitt became known as a genius of advertising. He rivaled his friend P. T. Barnum in originality and success becoming a household name throughout the U.S. His soap was one of the first nationally advertised products. The soap was sold from brightly painted street cars with musicians which helped lead to the iconic phrase: "get on the bandwagon." Babbitt was the first manufacturer to offer tours of his factories and one of the first to give away free samples.Babbitt died October 20 1889 and was buried in Woodlawn Cemetery Bronx New York. He was survived by his wife Rebecca McDuffie Babbitt 1820 - 1894 and his two daughters Ida Babbitt Hyde 1845-1896 and Lillia Babbitt Hyde 1856–1939 to whom he left one half of his $5000000 estate as well as the controlling interest in his company. Lillia Babbitt Hyde established The Lillia Babbitt Hyde Foundation in 1924 and served as its president until her death in 1939. The bulk of her estate was left to the Foundation raising the value of its assets as of June 1941 to approximately $3200000. Lillia Babbitt Hyde married Clarence Melville Hyde 1846-1908 the brother of Dr. Frederick E. Hyde who married Lillia's sister Ida Josephine Babbitt Hyde.Ida Josephine Babbitt Hyde married Dr. Frederick E. Hyde on 27 March 1869. The Hyde brothers were the sons of Edwin Hyde of Groton Connecticut and Elizabeth Alvina Mead. The Hyde family was the direct descendant of Sgt. James Hyde Jr. 1753-1809 of Norwich Connecticut who served with the 4th Regt. Connecticut Line in the American Revolution and was at Germantown Valley Forge Monmouth Stony Point and Yorktown. Dr. Hyde was born in New York City on 25 February 1844.Together Ida and her husband Frederick had at least four children: Elizabeth Alvina Hyde 1870-; Benjamin Talbot Babbitt Hyde 1872-1933 who married Edith Moore daughter of James Moore of New York City in 1910; Frederick Hyde Jr. 1874-; and Ida Josephine Hyde 1877- who married William Lord Sexton; and Mabel Hyde 1882-. The Hyde's educated their sons at St. Paul's Military School on Long Island. When the Hyde's were first married the couple set up home in Ida Babbitt's parent's house on 36th Street in Manhattan in a fashionable neighborhood and Hyde at the insistence of Mrs. Babbitt had a medical practice for only the "best families" in New York City. The Hyde family also kept a country place "Quaker Ridge Farm" in North Greenwich Connecticut. By 1900 the Hyde's moved uptown to West 69th Street where they kept a large house with nine servants housekeeper cook maid parlor maid chamber maid waitress laundress lady's maid and a general servant.In 1889 Benjamin Babbitt died leaving a great inheritance that was split between his wife and two daughters. However his daughter Ida died six months later and her share of his estate in the millions went to her husband and two sons. After the death of his wife Ida Dr. Frederick E. Hyde retired from practicing medicine and spent a good deal of time traveling and pursuing his hobbies and philanthropic pursuits. There is a fjord in Greenland named Frederick E. Hyde Fjord. The fjord is located on a peninsula known as Peary Land. Frederick E. Hyde Fjord divides Peary Land into North Peary Land and South Peary Land. Robert E. Peary had been the first to reach the North Pole and the northernmost part of Greenland is called Peary Land. In a book written by Robert Peary entitled Nearest the Pole: A Narrative of the Polar Expedition of the Peary Arctic Club in the S. S. Roosevelt 1905 -1906 on page 329 we learn that Peary's Expedition of 1898-1902 was made under the auspices of and with funds furnished by the Peary Arctic Club of New York City of which Frederick E. Hyde was a member and supporter. The book includes a chapter on the Peary Arctic Club. Frederick E. Hyde was one of the founding members and was elected as its first vice president. Dr. Frederick Erastus Hyde and his sons Benjamin Talbot Babbitt Hyde and Frederick Erastus Hyde Jr. were members of several scientific institutions. Dr. Hyde was member and benefactor of the Linnaean Society the American Museum of Natural History and the American Association for the Advancement of Science among others. Frederick Jr. and his brother Benjamin were also members of some of the same organizations as their father. They also financed explorations in the American Southwest between 1893 and 1907. Dr. Hyde's sons founded the Hyde Exploring Expedition which helped to fund the work of Richard Wetherill 1858–1910 from about 1893 to 1903. Wetherill was a member of a prominent Colorado ranching family and was an amateur explorer in the discovery research and excavation of sites associated with the Ancient Pueblo People. Wetherill is credited with the discovery of Cliff Palace in Mesa Verde and was responsible for initially selecting the term Anasazi Navajo for ancient enemies as the name for these ancient people. He also discovered Kiet Seel ruin now included along with Betatakin ruin in Navajo National Monument in northeastern Arizona. "Slightly smaller than Cliff Palace Kiet Seel possesses qualities that in the eyes of some lend it greater charm and interest." Wetherill became fascinated by the ruins and artifacts and made a career as an explorer guide excavator and trading post operator.Predating this collection of diaries Dr. Hyde and his sons went on a world tour in 1892 and spent 70 days on horseback in Palestine and the Saini.

Sinking of Titanic greatest disaster of modern timesâ€¦" Babbitt and Hyde Families Benjamin Talbot Babbitt 1809-1889 was a self-made American businessman and inventor who amassed a fortune in the soap industry manufacturing Babbitt's Best Soap. He was born in 1809 in Westmoreland Oneida Co. New York the son of blacksmith Nathaniel Babbitt 1769-1855 and Betsey Holman 1768-. In 1851 he became the first to manufacture and market soap in individual bars which he packaged attractively and added a claim of quality. He took the ordinary and proved it could be turned into a marketable product. Babbitt invented most of the machinery he used in his production plants. He owned extensive ironworks and machine shops in Whitesboro New York. He held more than 100 patents. Babbitt became known as a genius of advertising. He rivaled his friend P. T. Barnum in originality and success becoming a household name throughout the U.S. His soap was one of the first nationally advertised products. The soap was sold from brightly painted street cars with musicians which helped lead to the iconic phrase: "get on the bandwagon." Babbitt was the first manufacturer to offer tours of his factories and one of the first to give away free samples.Babbitt died October 20 1889 and was buried in Woodlawn Cemetery Bronx New York. He was survived by his wife Rebecca McDuffie Babbitt 1820 - 1894 and his two daughters Ida Babbitt Hyde 1845-1896 and Lillia Babbitt Hyde 1856â€“1939 to whom he left one half of his $5000000 estate as well as the controlling interest in his company. Lillia Babbitt Hyde established The Lillia Babbitt Hyde Foundation in 1924 and served as its president until her death in 1939. The bulk of her estate was left to the Foundation raising the value of its assets as of June 1941 to approximately $3200000. Lillia Babbitt Hyde married Clarence Melville Hyde 1846-1908 the brother of Dr. Frederick E. Hyde who married Lillia's sister Ida Josephine Babbitt Hyde.Ida Josephine Babbitt Hyde married Dr. Frederick E. Hyde on 27 March 1869. The Hyde brothers were the sons of Edwin Hyde of Groton Connecticut and Elizabeth Alvina Mead. The Hyde family was the direct descendant of Sgt. James Hyde Jr. 1753-1809 of Norwich Connecticut who served with the 4th Regt. Connecticut Line in the American Revolution and was at Germantown Valley Forge Monmouth Stony Point and Yorktown. Dr. Hyde was born in New York City on 25 February 1844.Together Ida and her husband Frederick had at least four children: Elizabeth Alvina Hyde 1870-; Benjamin Talbot Babbitt Hyde 1872-1933 who married Edith Moore daughter of James Moore of New York City in 1910; Frederick Hyde Jr. 1874-; and Ida Josephine Hyde 1877- who married William Lord Sexton; and Mabel Hyde 1882-. The Hyde's educated their sons at St. Paul's Military School on Long Island. When the Hyde's were first married the couple set up home in Ida Babbitt's parent's house on 36th Street in Manhattan in a fashionable neighborhood and Hyde at the insistence of Mrs. Babbitt had a medical practice for only the "best families" in New York City. The Hyde family also kept a country place "Quaker Ridge Farm" in North Greenwich Connecticut. By 1900 the Hyde's moved uptown to West 69th Street where they kept a large house with nine servants housekeeper cook maid parlor maid chamber maid waitress laundress lady's maid and a general servant.In 1889 Benjamin Babbitt died leaving a great inheritance that was split between his wife and two daughters. However his daughter Ida died six months later and her share of his estate in the millions went to her husband and two sons. After the death of his wife Ida Dr. Frederick E. Hyde retired from practicing medicine and spent a good deal of time traveling and pursuing his hobbies and philanthropic pursuits. There is a fjord in Greenland named Frederick E. Hyde Fjord. The fjord is located on a peninsula known as Peary Land. Frederick E. Hyde Fjord divides Peary Land into North Peary Land and South Peary Land. Robert E. Peary had been the first to reach the North Pole and the northernmost part of Greenland is called Peary Land. In a book written by Robert Peary entitled Nearest the Pole: A Narrative of the Polar Expedition of the Peary Arctic Club in the S. S. Roosevelt 1905 -1906 on page 329 we learn that Peary's Expedition of 1898-1902 was made under the auspices of and with funds furnished by the Peary Arctic Club of New York City of which Frederick E. Hyde was a member and supporter. The book includes a chapter on the Peary Arctic Club. Frederick E. Hyde was one of the founding members and was elected as its first vice president. Dr. Frederick Erastus Hyde and his sons Benjamin Talbot Babbitt Hyde and Frederick Erastus Hyde Jr. were members of several scientific institutions. Dr. Hyde was member and benefactor of the Linnaean Society the American Museum of Natural History and the American Association for the Advancement of Science among others. Frederick Jr. and his brother Benjamin were also members of some of the same organizations as their father. They also financed explorations in the American Southwest between 1893 and 1907. Dr. Hyde's sons founded the Hyde Exploring Expedition which helped to fund the work of Richard Wetherill 1858â€“1910 from about 1893 to 1903. Wetherill was a member of a prominent Colorado ranching family and was an amateur explorer in the discovery research and excavation of sites associated with the Ancient Pueblo People. Wetherill is credited with the discovery of Cliff Palace in Mesa Verde and was responsible for initially selecting the term Anasazi Navajo for ancient enemies as the name for these ancient people. He also discovered Kiet Seel ruin now included along with Betatakin ruin in Navajo National Monument in northeastern Arizona. "Slightly smaller than Cliff Palace Kiet Seel possesses qualities that in the eyes of some lend it greater charm and interest." Wetherill became fascinated by the ruins and artifacts and made a career as an explorer guide excavator and trading post operator.Predating this collection of diaries Dr. Hyde and his sons went on a world tour in 1892 and spent 70 days on horseback in Palestine and the Saini. Dr. Hyde died at the age of 92 on 16 September 1936 at his summer home in East Hampton L.I. Sample Quotes from the Diaries:"December 9 1896 â€¦Arrival Port Said about 8 p.m. anchored in canal.

S. and other locations ca. 1880s; 1903/4; and mid-1950s General Description: 1 letter from Pare Lorentz Associates; 1 85 x 85mm B and W some sepia toning; 37 85 x 85mm B and W some sepia toning; 3 85 x 85mm B and W ; 85 x 85 photos with decorative borders mid 1950s ; 1 120 x 175 mm sepia photo; 1 90 x 130 sepia toned oval photo; 1 60 x 40 mm photo; 1 210 x 130 sepia toned and mounted photo; 38 295 x 95 panoramic photos. 86 Items in Total. This Roosevelt archive constitutes three moments in time for the Roosevelt family during the height of their importance in the US political and social landscape centred around First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt. First we have a private glimpse at Eleanorâ€™s parents. An oval portrait of Elliot Roosevelt 1860-1894 Eleanorâ€™s father was taken in Abingdon VA. Likely this photo was taken in the last year of his life as he had moved to Abingdon after the death of his wife and son. A smaller portrait suffering crinkling depicts Anna Hall Roosevelt 1863-1892 Eleanorâ€™s mother. According to her family Eleanor kept these photographs of her parents in her bedroom. Next we have the documentation of Eleanorâ€™s absence as Sara Delano Roosevelt her soon-to-be-mother-in-law takes Franklin around the Caribbean in 1903 or 1904 â€œwhen she was trying to lure him away from Eleanor â€ as notable Roosevelt-documentarian Pare Lorentz put it in his letter to Hyde Park regarding these same photos. Pareâ€™s letter regarding these photos dated February 22 1949 is now housed in the FDR Presidential Library and Museum. Weâ€™re looking at a set of 75 black and white square and panorama photos depicting a tour of locations identified in Saint Augustine Miami Havana Cuba Willemstad CuraÃ§ao Spanishtown Jamaica Nassau Bahamas and possibly showing construction of the Panama Canal. The letters between Pare and Hyde Park catalogue some of these same photos that were reproduced for the Library including â€œbathing suit group on beach â€ â€œpix sic of natives of scenery and one possible shot of FDR back â€ â€œoutdoor eating shot - looks like SDR â€ â€œnumerous naval vessels â€ â€œwonderful bathing suit pic but no indication of any Roosevelt in it - period piece â€ and â€œ1 pix sic of SDR on hotel porch.â€ The two letters dated 2/22/1949 and 11/17/1949 to and from Pare Lorentz and Hyde Park that are currently housed in the FDR Library and Museum are followed up within this archive by a correspondence from the Pare Lorentz office signed by Jacqueline Bernard noting the receipt from Elliot Roosevelt son of FDR and Eleanor of 27 or 30 loose pictures and four albums for reproduction by the Roosevelt Library on December 13th 1949. Thanks to architectural clues we know largely where these photos were taken. As Pare notes these pictures are unlabelled making them rife with opportunity to discover new details about who was on this Caribbean trip and to piece together the journey that FDR and his mother made before his marriage to Eleanor and the reconciliation between mother- and daughter-in-law.The final moment we have within this archive is an intimate glimpse of Eleanor in the 1950s. It is nearly 10 years after her husbandâ€™s death and we see Eleanor out west with a mid-1950s date suggested by the Kodak stereoscope film type. These photos may have been taken during her Autumn trip in 1954 to Montana Idaho and Wyoming which she writes about in her news column My Day. These photos both significant as they are and significant to future understanding of the Rooseveltâ€™s lives comes through the legacy of Eleanor and FDRâ€™s third child Elliot and was deaccessioned through his heirs. Though some of them were reproduced for the FDR Presidential Library they remain unpublished. unknown

18070001802ALLONBY ENGLAND. Fair. 1807. On offer is a superb early 19th Century mathematics and complex arithmetic ciphering book. There are over 320 pages of text and titles in a lovely calligraphic hand including a folding table all in pen and ink. Identified as having belonged to the Costin Family of Allonby England this is believed to be a school book from the highly noted Quaker School at Wigton dated by paper watermarked 1807. This book was a massive effort by the unidentified Costin Family member but unique for the breadth and depth of the mathematical equations and complexity of the problems. The book stands as a testament to the quality of education at the Wigton School. The school book is in a very well handled state detached from the worn binding the contents are now loose the sections although individually sewn are coming away from each other. Some of the 8 x 10 inch initial pages maybe missing there is old damp/water staining to some but not all of the pages but overall Fair. BACKGROUND NOTES: Wikipedia: Wigton School also called Brookfield School or Friends' School was a private boarding school on the outskirts of Wigton Cumbria. The school was opened on 4 September 1815 by the Society of Friends Quakers for Cumberland and Northumberland. The initial student intake was 9 boys and 8 girls in premises at Highmoor in existing buildings. These first buildings were leased at an annual rent of 27 guineas. In 1826 the main school site opened at Brookfield commissioned by the Society of Friends. A London architect designed the buildings in classic Georgian style. The school motto was "We seek the truth." The school badge comprised a shield with a green background and diagonal river to represent the school's rural location with a beck small brook running through the grounds. One one side of the diagonal was a lamp to represent knowledge. On the other side was a set of scales to represent fairness and tolerance key Quaker virtues. The school expanded over the years. Student numbers peaked in the mid-1970s at around 210. Following the peak student numbers declined and in 1984 the school closed.

Interesting collection of letters many from the turbulent economic times of the 1930s.The Family of Eliot Tuckerman Esq. 1872-1959 Eliot Tuckerman was born in New York City on March 12 1872 the son of Gustavus Tuckerman Jr. 1824-1897 and Emily Goddard Lamb 1829-1894 eldest daughter of Thomas Lamb 1796-1887 and Hannah Dawes Eliot 1809-1879. Gustavus Tuckerman Jr. was a Boston Massachusetts merchant who was involved in the China India trade during the mid-19th century. Tuckerman was born on May 15 1824 at his grandfather's house in Edgbaston England the second son of Gustavus Sr. and Jane Francis Tuckerman. As a boy he was tutored by A. Bronson Alcott and Mr. George Ripley and attended the Boston Latin School. Upon completing his early education Tuckerman was expected to attend Harvard College following his brother John Francis Tuckerman Class of 1837. Instead he joined the Boston merchant shipping firm of Curtis & Greenough. In 1847 he was sent to Palermo Sicily to represent the firm in purchasing and shipping cargoes of goods to America including fruit wine linseed licorice cream of tartar and other provisions. Two years later he made a second journey to Sicily to represent the firm. Upon his return to Boston in 1849 he was made partner in Curtis & Greenough. He continued as a partner in Curtis & Greenough and also established business relations for Tuckerman Townsend & Co. in Sicily. Tuckerman Townsend & Co. was a partnership with Thomas Davis Townsend also an employee of Curtis & Greenough. Located at 48 Central Wharf in Boston Tuckerman Townsend & Co. was heavily involved in the import trade with the Mediterranean China and India especially the ports of Palermo in Sicily Singapore and Penang in Malaysia and Calcutta India. Tuckerman acted as the local roving agent for the firm from 1853 to 1859. He purchased goods and coordinated shipments back to Boston. In 1859 Tuckerman Townsend & Co. took heavy financial losses and Tuckerman decided to dissolve the firm rather than continue with business on credit. He moved his family from Boston to New York City and took a job as the treasurer of the Hazard Powder Company a gunpowder company that thrived during the Civil War. Tuckerman died on 11 February 1897 at his West 54th Street home in New York City. Gustavus Jr. & his wife had at least four other children besides Eliot: Jane Frances Tuckerman 1852-1947; Hannah Elliot Tuckerman 1855-1860; Emily Lamb Tuckerman 1858-1943; and Margaret Eliot Tuckerman 1860-1948. Eliot Tuckerman's aunt was Jane Francis Tuckerman 1818-1856. She was good friends with Margaret Fuller 1810-1850 and the two women were known correspondents. Fuller was an American journalist editor critic and women's rights advocate and associated with the American transcendentalist movement. She wrote many letters to Fuller and was one of Fuller's private pupils and later her assistant on the Dial the chief publication for the Transcendentalists. Jane married John Gallison King 1819-1888 a Boston lawyer from a Salem family however the marriage did not work out. King was part of the circle of friends with Emerson Elizabeth Hoar Cary Sturgis etc. Jane was said to be good friends with Elizabeth Hoar 1811-1878 a classmate of Henry David Thoreau. Hoar was to wed Charles Emerson brother of Ralph Waldo Emerson but Charles died before they married. Emerson treated her as a sister. There are a couple of letters in this collection written to and by this Jane Francis Tuckerman as they are dated too early for Eliot Tuckerman's sister of the same name. Eliot Tuckerman received his A.B. cum laude from Harvard College in 1894 and his LL. B cum laude from Harvard Law School in 1897. He was accepted into the bar in 1898 and by 1899 Tuckerman was working with the firm of Evarts Choate & Beaman in New York City. In 1895 Joseph H. Choate Jr. and Eliot Tuckerman founded the Stockbridge Golf Club making it one of the first 100 golf clubs in the U.S. In 1918 Tuckerman was elected as a New York Republican Assemblyman for the Tenth District. There are a couple of pieces of ephemera in this collection for the Republican Assembly Tenth District. Tuckerman married Mary Ludlow Powell Fowler 1879-1955 in New York City in April 1915. She was the daughter of lawyer author and Surrogate of New York Robert L. Fowler 1849-1936 of New York City and his wife Julia Groesbeck 1854-1919. Mary had various interests. She was the president of the International Garden Club and a former vice president of the Humane Society of New York.

PresidentNew York Law Review Corporation280 Broadway New YorkDear SirThe Constitution as originally made was simply intended to guarantee to the individual citizen a government which would protect his life his liberty and his right to pursue happiness.That original Constitution which contained few controversial matters was not intended to be flexible and its amendment was not meant to be easy.Since the intrusion into the Constitution of the various Amendments which have been ever increasingly controversial in nature there are every increasing numbers of people who are discontented in one way or another with the Constitution as amended.This discontent leads to increasing demands for further amendments.The Supreme Court which as Mr. Dooley says 'follows the Election returns' now says that it is only necessary to have the votes of two-thirds of a quorum in each house to propose Amendments to the organic law. That is not what the Constitution itself says but it is 'an interpretation' in the direction of flexibility which the amendments to the Constitution have made more popular.In my opinion the acquiescence by the Court in the Congressional interpretation of the Amendment clause of the Constitution is more dangerous for the country than the passage of a law by Congress over the decision of the Court would be.Another Congress can reverse the policy of its predecessor but the Constitution once changed stays.Where it will end we cannot tell but each controversial amendment hastens the end.Yours very truly Eliot TuckermanET/M.""T.S.

Hope Garland Ingersoll his granddaughter is supposed to have this portrait but we have not been able to locate it.I wonder if you have any recollection in the handling of the estate of James A. Garland Sr. what became of this portrait. It was supposed to go to Bert Garland and hung in his house at Hamilton Mass. I do not know that the estate ever had anything to do with it but on the chance that it did I am writing to know if you have any recollection about it.Sincerely yoursHenry D. Tudor""Baden-Baden May 8th '34Dear EliotI apologize for not acknowledging receipt of your cable of April 3rd as I was reasonably sure Mrs. Emmet would not do so but I some how forgot it till I got your letter…I wrote him Dodson some time back asking what you & he thought about distributing the final dissolution payment of the 1st Security Co. in the next quarterly distribution as I do not see how we can do otherwise in view of our paying income tax on it as income. Apparently the liquidating dividend received last year of the Passaic water Co. is in the same a similar category & should be distributed as income…I hope everything goes well with you & Dodson. I wish they would treat the gangsters with the same merciful ruthlessness they use in similar miscreants here & I Italy. They tell me on all sides there is no need of locking your front door now in Germany & many of the people in the north do not do so. Visitors tell me they never lock their hotel doors now in Germany & never lose anything. The streets too are perfectly safe at any hour of the night. I wonder which is freedom – here or the terror in the New York where a mutual friend of ours trembles every time her front doorbell rings after 9 P.M.I wish Roosevelt would make the States attack crime ruthlessly. I believe a marked subsidence of crime would bring a return of confidence & a business revival. It sounds fanciful but I believe it is NOT. Yours R. Emmet""Sept 27 '34Dear EliotI have just arrived here Paris for a week on our way to London…I am greatly disappointed not to have seen you when over here but delighted to hear you enjoyed it all so well. I think few people realize the romance of Scotland. Motoring there is far more fascinating I think than anywhere on the continent…We are just from Montreux in Lk. Geneva via Basle. My wife ran into Germany to see the Dr. for the day but was too shy to spend any longer there than necessary. Charming people though these southern Germans are. The air there was charged with anxiety I thought and with espionage & spying with severest reprisals for disloyalty I have been told. Every one was so guarded in speech & so anxious lest they be overhead & misrepresented at least the few I got to know…Best luck yours R.

Emmet""January 11 1937Dear DodsonI attended the annual meeting of the stockholders of the bank this morning and at the request of Mr. Fraser and Mr. Welldon called the meeting to order and nominated them to act as chairman and secretary of the meeting.Mr. Fraser took up the enclosed statement item by item and explained the differences as compared with the previous year's report. The number of stockholders has increased from 4708 to 5102. The government has ruled that the bank may make announcement of the dividend to be paid four times each year instead of twice as has been done for the past year. This will be done.The decrease of deposits was mainly due to the government requiring increased reserves in the banks. Many banks carry balances with the First National which reduced their deposits. Also some of the corporate balances were smaller than formerly. Of the Government Bonds owned by the Bank 40% are due in 5 years or less and 51% are callable in 10 years. The profits are less this year as many of the bonds held by the bank were refunded in 1936 which resulted in profits in 1936 not recurring in 1937. Also the income was reduced by the fact that the refunding bonds carried coupons at a lower rate of interest.There were 282 shares present in person at the meeting and 72205 shares among them ours represented by proxies.There were gains in miscellaneous income from the fact that commissions were received in some of the Estates held in the trust department and the rents of the building now 74% rented increased.That's about all I learned from Mr. Fraser.After the meeting I stopped to speak with Searles the first assistant cahier. I mentioned to him that I had noticed that Mrs. Loew's Estate held no bank stock. He suggested that perhaps she had put that in trust for her children during her life. Maybe so.I have put the various receipts int eh file and have nothing further in the way of business to report.I hope Mrs. Dodson and you are well and happy. I stopped in to see Jack Morgan for a minute and he said it was a good time to be philosophical and I try to be but for me it is not easy.With best wishesYours SincerelyEliot TuckermanRobert B.

Eliot"Examples from the 1943 Journal:"August 10 Thursday…45 subtracted from 1943 brings us back to 1898 and the glorious days of San Juan Hill and the first Roosevelt now rather eclipsed; but perhaps history will refocus attention on his name. And here we have a lot of Spanish War vets convening in Boston with their wives in attendance. 45 years and caps and badges & wives don't add by and large any great dignity to the human body; rather humps & bumps and thick legs and horrid obesity all over in the most unexpected spots - and I dare say not infrequently to the brain; - which is indicated by the very fact of their foregathering and dressing up. In the last few days they have been passing resolutions; memorializing Congress and FDR in a number of ways on a number of subjects one of which which caught the reporters' eye was a stern recommendation to the federal authorities whoever might be the proper one to forbid any and all Orientals – Japs & Chinese from entering the U.S.A.: where upon the Civil Liberties League whooped & hollered and asked how this behavior fitted in with Mr. Wilkie's plan for one world." "Aug 22 Sunday…We were very much intrigued to find that Nancy Oakes had been at their school in New York when she married Count de Marigny clandestinely and admitted it one afternoon after an examination on banking. Consternation! and inability to get Lady Oakes on the telephone before the Count came and claimed her & carried her off. A great to do but nothing much to do about it. Both Miss C. & Mlle. T foresaw unhappiness sizing up the Count as a scallywag who didn't care anything about Nancy but had an eye o her money. He had been divorced from his first wife Farnesworth and all the available records were dark. And now look what she is facing! Her husband accused of murdering & trying to burn the body of her father – in the Bahamas!.""Aug 24 Tuesday…There are lots of WAVES at the Victoria lining up to go somewhere and I am much impressed with their style their carriage & their dress. Also recalling Bly's remarks about the uniform color of their stockings. I wonder if the U.S. Gov. issues them or commands them to use only one color of lip stick. I had a good opportunity to come to this conclusion…""Aug 25 Wednes…I was struck by the eventual usefulness of Copley Square. At last a valid solution of that much vexed triangle has been found; it has become a vegetable garden for the Copley Plaza Hotel surrounded by a low white picket fence covered with vines; a well-worn path around it. The garden itself is very professional set up in north-south rows of everything good to eat and thriving under the skill of a professional farmer; who picks your beans as you sit in the merry-go-round & has 'em cooked when you've finished your cocktail. The garden does not occupy the entire grassy terrain but leaves the corners free -and as might be expected they are dedicated by the completely unimaginative Mr. Long of the Park Dept. east to the exceedingly ugly raised garden a design in horrible stubby plants; a large V and north-south on Dartmouth St. of all things groups of spindly rabble trees! Doubtless it's Mr. Long's fond secret hope to do something about the tree shortage…""Aug 26 Thurs…A nice quiet day with little happening. I call on Ralph Gray in the early morning.

PresidentNew York Law Review Corporation280 Broadway New YorkDear SirThe Constitution as originally made was simply intended to guarantee to the individual citizen a government which would protect his life his liberty and his right to pursue happiness.That original Constitution which contained few controversial matters was not intended to be flexible and its amendment was not meant to be easy.Since the intrusion into the Constitution of the various Amendments which have been ever increasingly controversial in nature there are every increasing numbers of people who are discontented in one way or another with the Constitution as amended.This discontent leads to increasing demands for further amendments.The Supreme Court which as Mr. Dooley says 'follows the Election returns' now says that it is only necessary to have the votes of two-thirds of a quorum in each house to propose Amendments to the organic law. That is not what the Constitution itself says but it is 'an interpretation' in the direction of flexibility which the amendments to the Constitution have made more popular.In my opinion the acquiescence by the Court in the Congressional interpretation of the Amendment clause of the Constitution is more dangerous for the country than the passage of a law by Congress over the decision of the Court would be.Another Congress can reverse the policy of its predecessor but the Constitution once changed stays.Where it will end we cannot tell but each controversial amendment hastens the end.Yours very truly Eliot TuckermanET/M.""T.S.

Garland Sr. what became of this portrait. It was supposed to go to Bert Garland and hung in his house at Hamilton Mass. I do not know that the estate ever had anything to do with it but on the chance that it did I am writing to know if you have any recollection about it.Sincerely yoursHenry D. Tudor""Baden-Baden May 8th '34Dear EliotI apologize for not acknowledging receipt of your cable of April 3rd as I was reasonably sure Mrs. Emmet would not do so but I some how forgot it till I got your letterâ€¦I wrote him Dodson some time back asking what you & he thought about distributing the final dissolution payment of the 1st Security Co. in the next quarterly distribution as I do not see how we can do otherwise in view of our paying income tax on it as income. Apparently the liquidating dividend received last year of the Passaic water Co. is in the same a similar category & should be distributed as incomeâ€¦I hope everything goes well with you & Dodson. I wish they would treat the gangsters with the same merciful ruthlessness they use in similar miscreants here & I Italy. They tell me on all sides there is no need of locking your front door now in Germany & many of the people in the north do not do so. Visitors tell me they never lock their hotel doors now in Germany & never lose anything. The streets too are perfectly safe at any hour of the night. I wonder which is freedom â€“ here or the terror in the New York where a mutual friend of ours trembles every time her front doorbell rings after 9 P.M.I wish Roosevelt would make the States attack crime ruthlessly. I believe a marked subsidence of crime would bring a return of confidence & a business revival. It sounds fanciful but I believe it is NOT. Yours R.

I think few people realize the romance of Scotland. Motoring there is far more fascinating I think than anywhere on the continentâ€¦We are just from Montreux in Lk. Geneva via Basle. My wife ran into Germany to see the Dr. for the day but was too shy to spend any longer there than necessary. Charming people though these southern Germans are. The air there was charged with anxiety I thought and with espionage & spying with severest reprisals for disloyalty I have been told.

Great fluttering in the dive cots for several more are going to school this term having only the youngest at home in Tanney's family & two in each of the other two.The thought that they may be training & fattening up to kill & be killed in a quite unnecessary war seems an incredibly revolting thought when one realizes that all wars are begun for Loot Gain or Revenge. I am barbarian enough to have really enjoyed my war experience but am thoroughly ashamed of the remains of Fallen Nature still uneradicated in me that permitted me to enjoy what I know was opposed to Christian principles. I have always enjoyed a gamble of a game of wits & chance & believe that must be the foundation of the situation. I certainly had no hard feeling or hatred for the enemy at any time any more than during a game of polo or steeplechaseâ€¦.Yours R. Emmet""January 11 1937Dear DodsonI attended the annual meeting of the stockholders of the bank this morning and at the request of Mr. Fraser and Mr. Welldon called the meeting to order and nominated them to act as chairman and secretary of the meeting.Mr. Fraser took up the enclosed statement item by item and explained the differences as compared with the previous year's report. The number of stockholders has increased from 4708 to 5102. The government has ruled that the bank may make announcement of the dividend to be paid four times each year instead of twice as has been done for the past year. This will be done.The decrease of deposits was mainly due to the government requiring increased reserves in the banks. Many banks carry balances with the First National which reduced their deposits. Also some of the corporate balances were smaller than formerly. Of the Government Bonds owned by the Bank 40% are due in 5 years or less and 51% are callable in 10 years. The profits are less this year as many of the bonds held by the bank were refunded in 1936 which resulted in profits in 1936 not recurring in 1937. Also the income was reduced by the fact that the refunding bonds carried coupons at a lower rate of interest.There were 282 shares present in person at the meeting and 72205 shares among them ours represented by proxies.There were gains in miscellaneous income from the fact that commissions were received in some of the Estates held in the trust department and the rents of the building now 74% rented increased.That's about all I learned from Mr. Fraser.After the meeting I stopped to speak with Searles the first assistant cahier. I mentioned to him that I had noticed that Mrs. Loew's Estate held no bank stock. He suggested that perhaps she had put that in trust for her children during her life. Maybe so.I have put the various receipts int eh file and have nothing further in the way of business to report.I hope Mrs. Dodson and you are well and happy. I stopped in to see Jack Morgan for a minute and he said it was a good time to be philosophical and I try to be but for me it is not easy.With best wishesYours SincerelyEliot TuckermanRobert B. Dodson Esq.ET: JB""The VestrySt. Stephen's ChurchGloucester Road S.W.712 January 1939Dear Cousin JennyThank you very much for your kind and welcome letter. I am sorry that I unintentionally deceived you concerning my whereabouts; it was simply that I could not find your address and enclosed the card and envelope to Henry to forward to you. Nevertheless I shall hope to see you and Cousin Emily at some time during this year if no war intervenes to prevent. I had hoped to come in the autumn but both politics and some uncompleted work prevented me.With best wishes for 1939Affectionately your cousinT.S. Eliot"Examples from the 1943 Journal:"August 10 Thursdayâ€¦45 subtracted from 1943 brings us back to 1898 and the glorious days of San Juan Hill and the first Roosevelt now rather eclipsed; but perhaps history will refocus attention on his name. And here we have a lot of Spanish War vets convening in Boston with their wives in attendance. 45 years and caps and badges & wives don't add by and large any great dignity to the human body; rather humps & bumps and thick legs and horrid obesity all over in the most unexpected spots - and I dare say not infrequently to the brain; - which is indicated by the very fact of their foregathering and dressing up. In the last few days they have been passing resolutions; memorializing Congress and FDR in a number of ways on a number of subjects one of which which caught the reporters' eye was a stern recommendation to the federal authorities whoever might be the proper one to forbid any and all Orientals â€“ Japs & Chinese from entering the U.S.A.: where upon the Civil Liberties League whooped & hollered and asked how this behavior fitted in with Mr. Wilkie's plan for one world." "Aug 22 Sundayâ€¦We were very much intrigued to find that Nancy Oakes had been at their school in New York when she married Count de Marigny clandestinely and admitted it one afternoon after an examination on banking. Consternation! and inability to get Lady Oakes on the telephone before the Count came and claimed her & carried her off. A great to do but nothing much to do about it. Both Miss C. & Mlle. T foresaw unhappiness sizing up the Count as a scallywag who didn't care anything about Nancy but had an eye o her money. He had been divorced from his first wife Farnesworth and all the available records were dark. And now look what she is facing! Her husband accused of murdering & trying to burn the body of her father â€“ in the Bahamas!.""Aug 24 Tuesdayâ€¦There are lots of WAVES at the Victoria lining up to go somewhere and I am much impressed with their style their carriage & their dress. Also recalling Bly's remarks about the uniform color of their stockings. I wonder if the U.S. Gov. issues them or commands them to use only one color of lip stick. I had a good opportunity to come to this conclusionâ€¦""Aug 25 Wednesâ€¦I was struck by the eventual usefulness of Copley Square. At last a valid solution of that much vexed triangle has been found; it has become a vegetable garden for the Copley Plaza Hotel surrounded by a low white picket fence covered with vines; a well-worn path around it. The garden itself is very professional set up in north-south rows of everything good to eat and thriving under the skill of a professional farmer; who picks your beans as you sit in the merry-go-round & has 'em cooked when you've finished your cocktail. The garden does not occupy the entire grassy terrain but leaves the corners free -and as might be expected they are dedicated by the completely unimaginative Mr. Long of the Park Dept. east to the exceedingly ugly raised garden a design in horrible stubby plants; a large V and north-south on Dartmouth St. of all things groups of spindly rabble trees! Doubtless it's Mr. Long's fond secret hope to do something about the tree shortageâ€¦""Aug 26 Thursâ€¦A nice quiet day with little happening. I call on Ralph Gray in the early morning. He seems pretty perky and wants me to take on the job he is yielding of custodian with Howard Church of the B.A.C. funds. There being little or no funds that seems no arduous job for me and I gladly take it off Ralph's shouldersâ€¦Bly lunches with Mrs. Ellery Sedgewick at Emily Webbs who remarks on my North Haven Church and is joined by Tom Metcalfe from the adjacent Museum of Modern Arson as he likes to call it in memory of the Beacon Street episodeâ€¦""Aug 31 Tuesâ€¦I have taken Ralph's place as trustee of the B.A.C. educational funds. I could hardly do less though I'm heartily sick of trying to save that club house. And here are Stanley & I â€“ Stanley for the most part â€“ getting up a serious of lectures for next winter in the hope that we may gather in a few dollars - and persuade the tax assessors the Club is an educational institution & should not be taxedâ€¦""Sept 1 Wedâ€¦I get the Ms. Of our lecture courses to Ms. King of Todd and Walter Kilham & I enjoy a particularly pleasant luncheon at '270'â€¦What a gay place 270 is at lunch time! Seemed full; even the cocktail loungeâ€¦M.F. chic & charming winked at me across the room Harriet Allen and her Roger Warner were near by & a perfectly lovely lady with large limpid eyes & vivacious mouth - & 2 friends sex female faced me at a near table Walter a little irritated that his back was to her. But I noticed he managed a number of good squints in her direction. We both would undoubtedly recognize her again â€“ and may go back to do soâ€¦""Sept 11 Satâ€¦And in the meantime it should be noted that Adolph Hitler has made a speechâ€¦a rather pitiful affair probably from Berchtesgaden over the radio justifying everything in Italy and on the Russian front. He is lostâ€¦and he knows itâ€¦probably now at the control of the army who are using him to bolster public moral as much as he can. Meantime they have taken over Rome put the Pope under protective custody which rather pleases me the Pope never to my mind took a strong position and now he is being used for what his prestige & that of the shrines of Rome can give the Nazis as protectionâ€¦"Collection Inventory: Outgoing Correspondence of Eliot Tuckerman:81 retained copies of letters 106 typescript pages mostly unsigned dated 7 May 1925 to 22 December 1950; written by Eliot Tuckerman to others; the bulk of letters date from the 1930s 1 letter from 1925 2 from 1940 and 1 from 1950; 48 of the letters were written by Tuckerman to Maj.

"LEAP FOR JOY . . . DR. WARREN HAS CLOSED THE OPERATION UPON PHEBE'S UNFORTUNATE SWELLING." Letter describing Dr. John Warren's successful removal of a precancerous tumor from an adolescent girl

1799009635This one-page stampless folded letter measures approximately 12" x 7.5". It is datelined "Boston Feby March 6. 1799." It bears a straight-line "Boston" handstamp circled "7 / MR" Boston postmark and a manuscript "10" rate mark. Small sealing wax tear from when the letter was opened. In nice shape. A transcript will be provided. In this letter Abbot describes Dr. John Warren's surgery to remove a precancerous tumor from his daughter. The letter reads in part: "My dear brother & Sister Betty . . . you will leap for joy when I inform you that this moment Dr. Warren has closed the operation upon Phebe's unfortunate swelling. The time of her suffering was as follows. 9 min'ts in cutting 14 in taking up the blood vessels & 22 in Sponging airing & dressing the wound. Her conduct her fortitude & composure were astonishing & unequaled says the Doctr. It proves to have been a serious tumor wh would certainly have become a cancer. Every thing is well & promising. She Stays here at Cap Weld's 4 or 5 days when the Dr. Supposes she can safely be removed to Andover.". Dr. John Warren was an American patriot and a surgeon in the Continental Army. His brother Joseph was a leader of the Sons of Liberty and is most famous for having recruited Paul Revere and William Dawes to spread the alarm when British troops departed Boston for Concord and Lexington. He was killed during the Battle of Bunker Hill and John was bayoneted by a British soldier when he attempted to retrieve Joseph's remains. After John recovered he served in army hospitals at Concord and Long Island and fought in the Battles of Trenton and Princeton. After the war he became a very successful Boston surgeon and performed the first abdominal operation in the United States. He founded Harvard Medical School in 1782. See "Warren John" in American Medical Biographies online and entries including "John Warren" in Garrison's History of Medicine. Warren performed a similar operation a mastectomy on President John Adams's daughter in 1812 and a letter describing it in the same manner was written by Adams to Dr. Benjamin Rush. While the location of Phebe's precancerous growth is not identified Abbot's elated letter nonetheless describes an early successful tumor removal by Warren and is a firsthand testament to the doctor's skill as well as to Phebe's fortitude while calmly suffering through such a serious and painful 45-minute operation without the benefit of anesthesia. Online genealogical records suggest that Phebe was born in 1799 if so she would have been about 11 years old at the time of the operation. Adams's letter describing Warren's surgery sold in 1984 for the equivalent of $20000 in today's money. Granted Abbot's Revolutionary War service as a Major does not carry the same cachet as Adams's service as President however his letter describes a similar perilous surgery performed by Warren twelve years earlier. Exceptionally scarce. At the time of this listing nothing similar is for sale in the trade and no similar descriptions of Warren's surgeries are held by institutions per OCLC. As previously noted there is one similar letter the Adams letter describing an operation by Warren. books
