[SLAVERY & ABOLITION] -- [HAITIAN REVOLUTION]. POLVEREL, Étienne (17401795) and Léger-Félicité SONTHONAX (1763-1813). Proclamation. Le Cap, Haiti: Commission civile de la republique, 20 July 1793.

Visible 12 1/2 x 16 1/8 in. letterpress broadside; framed to 16 1/2 x 19 in. Signed in type by Polverel and Sonthonax.

A proclamation issued in Le Cap, Saint-Domingue (now Cap-Haïtien, Haiti) by the French Civil Commissioners Étienne Polverel and Léger-Félicité Sonthonax, who had been sent by the Republic in response to the slave uprising and Haitian Revolution. Despite both men being abolitionists, their mission was not to abolish slavery but to give all free men, regardless of their color, equality of rights guaranteed to them by the decree of 4 April 1792. This was, however, reversed on 29 August 1793 when Sonthonax abolished enslavement in the northern province. Polverel followed suit in the western and southern provinces. This broadside advertises declarations made by the Commissioners regarding property abandoned by citizens who fled the Colony that will duly become property of the Republic.

2 pages, 4to, 7 3/4 x 9 3/4 in., address panel on integral leaf with 2 February New York stamp postmark, separations along old folds with repairs, toning, modern ink inscription above address panel on integral leaf.

He opens regarding abolition opinions among the recipient’s acquaintances: “The people you say are all anti-slavery men, that is very good, but that they should oppose Colonization is very bad.” He continues with an update on life in Liberia including his work with the Kroo people. He concludes with speculation regarding the expansion of enslavement: “I reckon Texas will afford a great opening for the extension of Slavery. The slave trade on the coast is going on in high rate.”

James Priest would later be elected the 6th vice president of Liberia from 1864-1868. Born into enslavement in Kentucky, he was educated and manumitted by his former enslaver Jane Anderson Meaux. Upon her request, he traveled to Liberia to evaluate the situation of the formerly enslaved. He returned to the United States for training as a Presbyterian missionary before emigrating to Liberia in 1843 under the auspices of the American Colonization Society. In addition to his role as vice president, he served as a justice on the Liberian Supreme Court.

She was loaded by an officer of this republic who asked the Capt. what he was doing there. he said he was buying slaves.. the officer told him that it was against the laws of this republic to deal slaves and also ask him did he not know that it was against the laws of the nations.” Continuing that the inquisitor paid 40 francs to free a young boy.

[CRIME & PUNISHMENT]. Stop the Thief! $50 Reward! Anderson, SC: N.p., [spring 1868].

8 7/8 x 12 1/8 in. letterpress broadside; framed to 13 1/2 x 17 1/2 in. A reward broadside for a mixed-race man named Bob Thompson who escaped “by jumping from the train between Alston and Littleton, S.C.” and is described as a “mulatto, about 25 years old...blind in one eye...[and] considerably marked by small pox.” The notice continues with Thompson’s alleged crimes as a “notorious burglar and horse thief.” Several South Carolina newspapers ran stories with similar copy to this broadside in February 1868, though most offer $40 as a reward. The increased bounty here, suggests a slightly later date in 1868, as he was apprehended in the spring of 1868, the Charleston Daily News reports on 1 June 1868: “The notorious Bob Thompson, at Anderson, indicted for horse stealing and larceny...and was sentenced to ten years and six months at hard labor in the penitentiary. One thief less at large.” Thompson was released, however, in 1872 only four years into his sentence, upon receiving a pardon. It is revealed, with great astonishment by the newspapers, that the pardon was forged: “We are informed by some of the parties whose names were attached, that all the signatures to the petition of the pardon of Bob Thompson were forged. The signatures embraced nearly all the names of the most prominent merchants and citizens of Anderson County, and many were spelled wrong. Thompson has the reputation in Anderson, and elsewhere, of being a very dangerous horse thief as well as one of large experience in that line of rascality.” (Charleston Daily Courier, 28 May 1872).

[SLAVERY & ABOLITION]. A group of 3 manuscript statements certifying the work of Maryland constables to suppress “tumultuous meetings” of African Americans. Ca 1820s-1830s.

In 1723 an act was passed in Maryland to prevent “tumultuous meetings of negroes and other slaves” on Sabbath and other holidays, requiring the appointment of constables to visit monthly all gatherings places suspected of allowing African Americans to freely meet. If and when “negroes or other slaves” were found upon a premises to which they did not belong or were found in “tumultuous assembly,” the supposed offenders could be whipped, fined, forced to pay penalty in property, or imprisoned. Additional restrictions were put forth by the Maryland General Assembly to further restrict the rights of both enslaved and free African Americans to congregate, as well as instituting punishments for white enslavers who allowed gathering of enslaved individuals “upon their premises.” By the early 1800s, constables appointed to enforce these regulations were also given authority to deputize citizens to assist in their searches, forming “companies” or “patrols.” With the power to search African American dwellings and other buildings by force, often both free and enslaved African Americans were subject to undue violence at the hands of the enforcers.

He continues with information about enslaved individuals’ clothing and living situations: “You wanted to know if niggers wore hoop. Some do and some don’t, some slaves in broadcloth and silk and some go nearly naked. Slaves have there [sic] stent to do so much & if they do eny [sic] more they are payed [sic] for it.

[RELIGION -- RACISM]. Autograph letter signed (“More than One”), to Rev. Henry ADAMS. Louisville, KY, 10 June 1843. Threatening letter to Black reverend and founder of Fifth Street Baptist Church.

1 page, 4to, 7 15/16 x 9 7/8 in., with address panel on integral leaf verso, a few small separations along old creases.

A threatening letter written to Black preacher Reverend Henry Adams who had purchased a church in Louisville: “We are opposed to that church being occupied by the Blacks, and we know that there are men living in that part of the city who will not suffer it, and if the laws are insufficient to protect them in this right, they will protect themselves, and should you persist in congregating the Blacks there, the consequences be upon your own head.” The threats continue, ending “Beware - BewareBeware -” with an accusatory postscript: “You have obtained your citizenship by evading the law yet you may easily be deprived of it, if not by law, by other means. again we say - Beware -.”

The church in question is the Fifth Street Baptist Church in Louisville, which still congregates. The church began when enslaved individuals who had attended the white congregation of First Baptist Church were given the “privilege of worshipping to themselves” in 1829. The same year, they recruited Reverend Henry Adams (d. 1872), the recipient of the letter here, originally from Georgia. He would lead the church for 33 years.

A lot at Fifth and York Streets was gifted to the congregation by Benjamin Stansburg, becoming one of the first buildings in Louisville owned by African Americans. This letter was written in response to the move by the congregation to a larger building on Fifth Street, between Walnut and Chestnut, which had been formerly occupied by the First Christian Church that had moved and sold the property to the First Colored Baptist Church, changing its name to Fifth Street Baptist Church by 1845. Despite the threats here, the Fifth Street Baptist Church still congregates in the same building today.

3 pages, folio 7 9/16 x 12 1/4 in., on pale blue paper, address panel on verso of integral leaf, toning and short separations along old folds, tear from wax seal removal.

A letter written by Thomas North who had relocated from Ohio to Kentucky, to his brother J.E. Jackson. He writes of his brother Myron’s enslaved population of 26 individuals, noting that most are women, and he details the nature in which they are rented out.

He continues with his observations and opinions about the conditions of Kentucky’s enslaved, in part: “And in justice to the people of Kentucky I must say that from my own observation the situation of the Blacks is much different altogether better than the report of Ohio abolitionists admits for the white people think a great deal of their blacks and are not willing they should be misused and often given their choice of the men they hire them too [sic] and if they sell one they take the trouble to please the Black men as well as the white one.” Continuing: “But they have more privlages [sic] than the above mentioned those of them who are industrious can often at some sorts of labor doo [sic] more than their master requires and if he does more he is paid for the balance by his master. Myron has one that mends shoes evenings and is willing to pay him for what he does after night. As for me I am satisfied that notwithstanding all that has been said concerning slavery the slave here is in many things much better situated than many poor white people even here or in Ohio.”

[SLAVERY & ABOLITION]. Partly printed bill of sale for enslaved man Will. [Fairfax County, VA], 5 January 1789.

1 page, 4to, 9 1/4 x 10 3/8 in., partly printed, toning, separations along old folds with some repairs to verso, modern ink inscription to upper right. Undersigned with seal. Docketed to verso.

An early bill of sale for an enslaved man named Will, about 18 years old, for a term of 12 years. The document details that he was one of several enslaved individuals from the estate of John Colville of Fairfax County, VA. Henry Astley Bennett oversaw the sale of Colville’s estate to the late Earl of Tankerville, and here, to William Herbert.

Henry Astley Bennet (d. 1815) was a child of Charles Bennet, 3rd Earl of Tankerville (1716-1767), who owned thousands of acres of Virginia land, a copper mine, livestock, and enslaved individuals. These were left to him by John Colvill, whose estate was encumbered with debt and numerous and took over 30 years to reach a final settlement. George Washington was even named an executor of Thomas Colvill’s will, brother of John, and both his chief heir and creditor. (See: “From George Washington to Tankerville, 20 January 1784,” Founders Online, National Archives, https://founders.archives.gov/ documents/Washington/04-01-02-0045.

[SLAVERY & ABOLITION]. MATTHEWS, Nathaniel. Autograph letter signed (“Nathaniel Matthews”), to R.W. Vasser, with details of 10 enslaved individuals. Richmond, VA, 9 December 1849.

2 pages, 4to, 7 1/2 x 9 1/2 in., with address panel on integral leaf with Richmond postal stamp, toned, old creases.

Nathaniel Matthews writes to R.W. Vasser informing him that Matthew’s brother John is traveling for north Alabama with the “ten negroes six young men and four women” purchased on Vasser’s behalf. He continues with commentary on the price and the changing market: “I have paid very high for the negroes I purchased for you but it was the Best that could be done here and I calculated you wanted them and there is no chance to buy for less...in this market all the time now fresh swarms of planters from Georgia to buy negroes which keeps this market up all the time.”

The enslaved individuals are listed with the price paid for each: Nancy, $595; George, $675; Nancy, $645; Tom $740; Daniel, $745; Jackson, $770; Jane, $535; Martin, $775; Daniel Lewis, $775; and Betsey, $585.

R.W. Vasser is likely Richard Whitehead Vasser (1800-1864) of Athens, Alabama. The 1840 census lists 3 enslaved individuals, increasing to 9 individuals listed in the 1850 Federal Slave Census, to 45 enslaved in the 1860 Federal Slave Census.

[SLAVERY & ABOLITION]. DAVIS, Hector. Autograph letter signed outlining the market for enslaved persons. Richmond, VA, 24 May 1858.

1 page, 7 1/2 x 9 3/4 in., creased at folds. With postally used cover addressed to A.H. Boyd, Esq of Graham, North Carolina (flap embossed “Richmond, VA.”)

Davis’s letter outlines what he calls “a rather dull negro market,” after making the exception that “Good negroes however are selling at very fair prices.” He lists price ranges for varying ages and attributes of men, women, boys, and girls, beginning with “Best men $1200 to 1275,” and ending with “Girls 12 to 15 years $750 to $1000 as to size &c. Good young woman & child $1000 to $1100 &c.” Davis concludes, “Would be pleased to see you [indecipherable] with some good negroes,” before signing his name and adding an initialed postscript correcting his price range for boys from 10 to 15 years old.

Hector Davis (1816-1863) was one of the wealthiest slave traders in the decades leading up to the Civil War, owning and operating a two-story auction house and jail for enslaved persons located on Franklin Street in Richmond, VA. In his enslavement narrative, Wallace Turnage, formerly enslaved by Davis, describes how enslaved persons were escorted from the jail area to the dressing room and thence to the auction room to be sold. In an 1858 advertisement (the same year as the letter featured here) in the Richmond Business Directory, Davis is listed as an “Auctioneer and Commission Merchant for Sale of Negroes,” who “Sells Negroes both publicly and privately, and pledges his best efforts to obtain the highest market prices.” In 1860, Davis helped charter the Traders Bank of Richmond, and served as its president. He continued selling enslaved people until just before his death in 1863. Though Davis never married, it is believed that he had a relationship with an enslaved woman named Ann, who is listed in Davis’s will along with four children born to her in the 1850s.

51 [SLAVERY & ABOLITION]. List of Slaves and Free Negroes found under guard when Brig. Gen’l Martin assumed command at Plymouth, NC. [Plymouth, NC], [1864?]. Manuscript listing over 262 individual African Americans with details.

4 pages, four 4to leaves affixed to create 1 leaf 8 7/8 x 41 1/8 in. with additional 4to leaf, 8 7/8 x 10 3/4, on blue paper, creases, some chipping at edges, brown stains, loss and chips to extra 4to leaf.

A remarkable record of over 262 named Black individuals, both enslaved and free, living in Plymouth, North Carolina during the Civil War. Each person is listed by name with their gender, “Names of Owners” (with many being listed as “free”), the residence of the enslaver, and a column for additional remarks. Four sheets have been affixed together and the full length of both sides is consumed listing 232 individuals. The additional leaf continues the enumeration with the recto recording numbers 233 through 262. The verso lists 9 unnumbered individuals, however, a loss to the corner removes some of the names.

Eastern North Carolina was the site of the 1862 Burnside Expedition which saw 3,000 Federal soldiers in Plymouth and a site of enlistment for the Union. Plymouth was also the site of the Battle of Plymouth in April 1864, a significant ironclad battle. Undated, it is unclear when exactly the document was compiled. Additionally, it is a point for further research to positively identify Brig. General Martin.

An affidavit signed by Patience Slater detailing her life in enslavement, born in Granville County, [North Carolina], she “belonged in Carolina to Amos Gooch, who sold me to Elick Hopkins, separating me from my children, who sold me to James Bockaman in Twiggs County, Georgia, by him I was sold to one Curtis Carrol who in turn sold me to Mr. Holliman with whom I lived until freedom was declared.” She also details her marriages and her children. In particular, the 3 children she had with a man named Granville Bockman. She notes that had “abandon[ed] them” but “after they had been in my possession some six months the said Granville came down and claimed them & took 2 of them and we laid the matter before the Freedman’s Bureau.” The testimony appears to have been collected in order to resolve further disputes between Patience and Granville.

Patience notes that she was married to Jeffrey Slater “with whom I have lived ever since 1858”. Both Patience and Jeffrey are listed in Jefferson County, FL census from 1870, both listed as farm workers.

The author writes to his brother looking “from 8 to 10 likely young fellows from 16 to 22 years of age” continuing with instructions: “I shall write by tomorrows mail, directing them to forward the Negrows [sic] immediately to this place, where I shall either keep them or dispose of them for a handsome price, from your description of them, I think they will bring $1100 or $1200, however of this I shall be better able to judge after their arrival and you may be assured that, if I keep them, I shall remit you by Mail, as much as I could sell them for to any person.”

He further tries to convince the recipient and their brother Richard to move “to this country” as they are “working harder than the slaves of this country and not make one fourth part as much as you could in this place. From this I naturally conclude you this a perfect wilderness Inhabited by Savages...”

Lake Providence, Louisiana. 28 November 1848. 1p, 7 1/2 x 12 1/2 in. (creasing at folds, light soil, adhesive remnant on verso). Detailed letter about the status of cotton production on Coner’s plantation, with postscript following signature “P.S. the Negro Girl sent by Uncle W.B. Keens got down safely all are well.”

Reverend John A. Gano of Centerville, Kentucky, was a well-known Baptist minister in his home state. Like many religious leaders, it seems he embraced the institution of slavery. This letter written to the reverend offers a subtle reference to a widespread Kentucky practice, that of exporting its enslaved laborers into the Deep South. By the 1850s, Kentucky was annually exporting between 2500 and 4000 of its slaves to the large plantations farther south. [Also with:] Autograph letter signed by “W.L. Brady(?).” Addressed to “Mr. Elijah Sutton / Springfield.” Clio, [?]. 17 December 1842. 1p, 7 7/8 x 10 in. (creasing at folds, toning).

Writing to his nephew in Ireland, John Ray writes with observations about the differences in agriculture in Ireland versus the United States: “The Irish are generally disappointed who come here and few succeed well, and most all regret that they ever left home...Our mode of farming is very different from that of Ireland. We cultivate Indian Corn, cotton, oats and wheat.”

He continues with a description of his plantation and his treatment of the people he enslaves: “I have in cultivation about 1200 acres all worked by 40 slaves, who are well fed, well treated & well clothed, and excellent hands to work, well-disposed and friendly. If they behave badly or do bad work, or neglect their work, or steal, or fight among themselves, they are whipped on the low back with small switches... when humble, & they promise to do right they are then let down but my Negroes are well treated and but seldom whipped.”

His nephew has clearly expressed interest in immigrating to the United States, Ray gives advice to learn the correct temperament: “If your temper was bad, or too hasty & quick, you would not suit for an overseer. You must be firm, calm, cool, brave, thoughtful, perfectly devoted and attentive to your hands & business.” He later concludes: “I will give you employment as I did David but you must be controlled, advised and directed by me or my sons”

[SLAVERY & ABOLITION] -- [CIVIL WAR]. 10-page letter with extensive pro-Union and pro-slavery sentiments. Unity, [NH?], 30 May 1862.

10 pages, folio, 7 5/8 x 12 1/8 in., old folds. Note, the writer added emphasis throughout with underlining, it has been rendered as italics in the below transcriptions.

An unidentified New England man writes to his brother Jacob who possibly lives in the South, or at least is a Southern sympathizer, opening: “you inadvertently affixed a secession stamp, and the consequence was that it remained in the Office some 10 or 12 days”.

The writer is likely writing from Unity, New Hampshire, with discussions of New England and the town, relaying views and those of his (reportedly) of his neighbors regarding the Union as well as abolition: “Unity was ever loyal to the Constitution and the good old flag-true through the revolutionary struggles - and I speak from actual knowledge when I say that in 1812 and 15 when we were at war with the most powerful Nation on Earth...when disloyalty and “secession” reign’d throughout New England... Old Unity stood shoulder to shoulder with a united and loyal South, and succeeded in preserving the Union - and all, without the aid of gag laws, proscriptions or imprisonment.” Continuing: “Since the advent of the self-styled Republican Party; when their leaders Tappan, Toss and others have been perambulating the length and breadth of this State, with their 16 starred Flags thrown to the breeze, with the watch-word “No Union with Slave-holders” - Old Unity has ever remained unchanged! - We are decidedly opposed to the secession of a single State North or South...And we believe it to be equally imperative that Abolitionism should be crushed out, an indispensable prerequisite for the Salvation of our beloved Country.”

He shares his opinions on President Lincoln: “I don’t believe they now intend, or ever did intend to protect and preserve the Constitution as it is, or restore the Union as it was: - I don’t believe they intend that the Union shall be restored unless slavery is abolished...the leaders of the Party, have for years, been determined to destroy the Constitutional rights of the South.”

[SLAVERY & ABOLITION -- AMISTAD]. McCLEAN, Arch. Autograph letter signed (“Arch McClean”), to Congressman Francis JAMES (1799-1886). Grave Creek, VA, 16 February 1842. Discussing the Amistad case.

3 pages, folio, 7 1/2 x 12 in., address panel on integral leaf verso, with red “WHEELING / Va. / FEB 18” postal stamp, separations along old folds with repairs, some toning, loss from wax seal.

McClean writes to US Representative Francis James regarding politics and the ongoing Supreme Court freedom suit United States v. The Amistad: “My particular object in addressing you at this time is to ask the favor of you to send me the fullest report of the debate and proceedings in your power. Also, if in print, I would be much gratified to get the speech of Mr. Adams before the Supreme Court in the case of the negroes of the Amistad.” Mr. Adams, former President John Quincy Adams, and US Representative of Massachusetts argued successfully on behalf of the African enslaved who had revolted and seized the Spanish ship Amistad

The author continues with an eloquent discussion of enslavement in the United States, in part: “The undue weight conceded by the constitution to the slaveholders gives them an influence in the councils of the nations to which they are by no fair principle of representation entitled. By a sort of moral or political legerdemain, when it suits their purpose to maintain their right of property in their fellow men, they degrade the slaves to the level of the brutes & make them goods & chattels; again when desirous of increasing their power they metamorphose the degraded negro into three fifths of a man. Such is the consistency of political man when he suffers sordid interest to trample on the principles of justice.”

Concluding with reflections on Southern attitudes towards enslavement and emancipation, in part: “There is a sensitiveness, a touchiness on the subject of slavery prevailing in the minds of southerners which indicates a morbid feeling - an uneasiness -apprehension that their favorite institution is not safe. This inordinate anxiety impels them to acts of violence and menace...In their eagerness to suppress everything which in their imagination has the slightest tendency to emancipation, or to loosen the shackles of personal bondage, they do seem to be abandoned by the righteous Governor of the universe to the folly of their own avarice, injustice & indiscretion.”

[SLAVERY & ABOLITION]. MORRIS, Thomas (1776-1844). Autograph letter signed (“Tho Morris”). Washington, 3 March 1838. Regarding slavery and “doctrine of Mr. Calhoun’s resolutions”.

2 pages, 4to, 7 3/4 x 9 3/4 in., with integral free franked address panel, toning and pinholes along old folds. Docketed to address panel leaf.

Morris writes at length about the attempted compromises regarding slavery in the government, spearheaded by John C. Calhoun: “The doctrine of Mr. Calhoun’s resolutions cannot be well misunderstood, they claim for southern slavery the guaranty of the constitution, and admit that slavery and the freedom of speech and the press cannot exist together, and southern men in fact insist that we of the free states must abridge our rights in order to sustain theirs, and also insist that the paramount obligations of the constitution are in their favor and against us. But in the debate on this question the southern gentlemen were met by many from the free states in a desire to build a platform, as they termed it, on which both could stand in favor of slavery and in safety from free discussion, and Mr. Calhoun’s resolutions were declared to be for that purpose, but this platform to the eyes of the American people, liberty and slavery in juxtaposition upon it, will increase their love for the former and their abhorrence of the latter.” He continues at length, commenting in conclusion: “There can be no doubt but Congress possesses ample power to abolish Slavery in this district, no unprejudiced man here I think believes to the contrary.”

Thomas Morris was a politician serving in the Ohio State House of Representatives, representing Ohio in the US Senate for a single term, and ran as the vice presidential candidate for the anti-slavery Liberty Party with James G. Birney in 1844.

[SLAVERY & ABOLITION]. Rocking Slaves in Faneuil Hall. N.p.: N.p., ca 1851. 14 X 10 5/8 in. printed political cartoon; framed to 19 1/4 x 15 1/4 in. Faneuil Hall is depicted on giant rockers at center, with large groups on either side representing abolitionists on the right declaring “This is the way to make freemen”, and the pro-slavery faction on the left saying, “Rocking Slaves in Faneuil Hall.” Men near the center are shown getting their feet trampled by the rockers, presumably representing the perceived futility of moderation. Several groups of men stand at the perimeter voicing various opinions about the issue. The subtitle reads: “In commemoration of the attempt to arrest fugitive slaves, under the fugitive slave law passed 1850, a man by the name Shadrach being the first person arrested, but was rescued from the hands of the officers in the United States Court Room and then fled to Canada.”

Shadrach Minkins (ca 1814-1875), escaped enslavement in Virginia in 1850 and made it as far as Boston where he found work as a waiter. Later that year Congress enacted the Fugitive Slave Act, allowing Federal agents to seize selfemancipated formerly enslaved and return them to the South. When Shadrach was captured and taken to court in Faneuil Hall, a group of activists protesting the Fugitive Slave Act (and slavery in general) entered the courtroom and using force freed him from the Federal marshals. These men and many others helped Shadrach make his way via the Underground Railroad to Montreal, where he settled and raised a family.

Engraved map of the southern United States, image 33 1/2 x 27 1/8 in. (sheet 39 3/4 x 31 3/4 in.). Framed to 52 1/4 x 40 1/2 in. First printing.

SIGNIFICANT MAP SHOWING ENSLAVED POPULATIONS IN 1860.

One of the first statistical or themed maps published in the United States, it was produced by the U.S. Coast Survey, the dedication reflects the interests of Alexander Dallas Bache, an ardent abolitionist, vice president of the U.S. Sanitary Commission, and the Survey’s superintendent. The striking visuals show the concentrations of enslavement across the southern states, rather than a uniform distribution. The map was significant to Lincoln, both in its symbolic representation, its military utility, as well as his formation of emancipation policies. Notably, it was depicted in Francis Bicknell Carpenter’s painting The First Reading of the Emancipation Proclamation.

This certificate of membership is signed by four abolitionists who were on the board of the Association and also involved in the broader anti-slavery movement.

103 [POLITICS] -- [14TH AMENDMENT]. 1858 1868. Against Abraham Lincoln, Against the Republican Party. N.p.: N.p., [1868?].

9 7/8 x 13 1/4 in. letterpress broadside; 17 1/4 x 20 1/4 in. (not examined out of frame, possibly affixed to board).

An anti-14th amendment broadside likely produced by the Democratic party or a Democratic candidate. The text quotes extensively from Stephen Douglas from the Lincoln-Douglas debates in 1858, particularly his views on citizenship and rights for African Americans, in part: “I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races; that I AM NOT and NEVER HAVE BEEN. IN FAVOR OF MAKING VOTERS OR JURORS OF NEGROES, NOR OF QUALIFYING THEM TO HOLD OFFICE, NOR TO INTERMARRY WITH WHITE PEOPLE.” The broadside concludes with a quote from Abraham Lincoln in response to Douglas: “So far as I know, the Judge never asked me the question before. He shall have no occasion to ever ask it again, for I tell him frankly that I AM NOT IN FAVOR OF NEGRO CITIZENSHIP...Now, my opinion is, that the different States have the power to make a negro a citizen under the Constitution of the United States, if they choose.”

The 14th Amendment grants citizenship to all persons “born or naturalized in the United States,” including formerly enslaved people, and provided all citizens with “equal protection under the laws.” It was passed by Congress on 13 June 1866 and ratified on 9 July 1868 and as such became a major issue in the 1868 presidential election.

2 pages, 4to, 7 7/8 x 10 in., with original yellow envelope with red 3-cent stamp and “TIBBEE STATION / MISS / June 21 68” postmark, short marginal tears along old folds, minor brown spotting.

A Mississippi man writes with complaints about the newly emancipated formerly enslaved people and Radical Republicans participating in elections and the prospect of a democratic victory: “I write to inform you that these people are now in the midst of their Constitutional Nigger elections. They are confidant [sic] that they will defeat the Constitution, and say, that if Congress puts them in the Union any way, as they did [in] Ala, that they can carry the state at the Presidential election for the democratic nominee.”

He continues with a description of political intimidation: “Every man is at his post, armed to the teeth, with shotgun and revolver and his ballot. Many of the Negroes are bitter and hostile towards Negroes who vote the democratic ticket, and threaten them. The democratic darkey turns to the white man for pretection, who in return boldly notify radical darkey if he touches democratic nig they will kill burn and slay.” He concludes: “Whatever may be the result of this election, Mississippi will vote for the nominee of the democratic party next November.” In the 1868 presidential election, Mississippi had not yet been restored to the Union and did not participate. The republicans, however, won by a wide margin and carried the majority of southern states.

[POLITICS]. BRADY, Mathew (1822-1896), photographer. CDV of first African American US Senator Hiram Rhodes Revels. Washington, DC: ca 1868. Hiram Rhodes Revels (1827-1901) was born a free person of color in North Carolina before his ordination by the AME church in 1845. He was a preacher until the Civil War began and served as an army chaplain for an African American regiment. Revels settled in Mississippi in 1866 and got involved in state politics, eventually becoming the first African American United States senator in 1870. He was known as a gifted orator and a political moderate who favored equal rights for African Americans and amnesty for the former Confederates.

MILROY, Robert Huston (1816-1890). General Orders No. 28. Clarksburg, VA, 22 October 1862, with autograph note signed (“Milroy”) at foot. [With:] SIGNED CDV portrait of General Milroy. N.p.: Taylor & Seavey, n.d.

1 page, 4to, 7 3/4 x 9 5/8 in., old folds, minor toning.

Brigadier General Milroy issues a General Orders addressing the maltreatment of African Americans by Union soldiers: “The General commanding has been repeatedly pained to learn that a few bad men in some of the Regiments of his command, are in the habit of abusing, beating, and otherwise maltreating the negro and mulatto servants and teamsters employed by officers and quartermasters in his command.” He continues with a plea: “These black people are generally quiet and orderly - they were created black and cannot help it - they have mostly been made slaves, and robbed of the proceeds of their own labor, and could not help it; and have left traitor masters in arms against our forces, and are desirous of helping us all they can; and are, therefore, entitled to our pity and commiseration, rather than abuse and contempt.” In conclusion, however, the order is clear: “It is therefore ordered, and hereby made the duty of every officer and soldier, of this command, to immediately shoot down every soldier or other person, who may be found causelessly abusing, beating, or otherwise maltreating any of the negro or mulatto servants, or drivers in or about this command.”

Below this, Milroy writes with his thoughts about efforts: “I have... had much trouble in abolitionizing my Va. Regts. The above is a specimen of some of my efforts in that line. Ignorance + prejudice are the great barriers in the way, but I am succeeding admirably + will have them the best abolitionists in the U.S. The Negroes are the only reliable Union men we find. + I tell all that want their freedom that they are free.”

[CIVIL WAR] -- [SLAVERY & ABOLITION]. A detailed letter from Civil War surgeon William K. Sadler (1833-1864), 19th Kentucky Infantry Regiment, describing his sentiments on the Emancipation Proclamation and the abolition of slavery.

Autograph letter signed (“William”) to his uncle. “Army of the Mississippi / Opp. Vicksburg.” 11 February 1863.

Written just over a month after Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation, Sadler’s letter is an unvarnished missive in which the surgeon relays his sentiments about granting freedom to African Americans as well as the sentiments held by others in the Union army. HDS indicates that William K. Sadler (sometimes “Saddler”) enlisted on 12/12/1861 at Milliken’s Bend, LA as an assistant surgeon and was commissioned on 1/2/1862 into Field & Staff Kentucky 19th Infantry. He was promoted to surgeon on 4/2/1863, and later killed on 12/2/1864 at Baton Rouge, the victim of a friendly fire incident. His thoughts on the Emancipation Proclamation and the abolition of slavery reflect a common sentiment, as many Union soldiers proclaimed their willingness to fight for the Union but not for the rights of the millions of African Americans forcefully held in bondage.

147 [SLAVERY & ABOLITION] -- [RECONSTRUCTION]. Labor contracts, “Rules & Regulations,” and other documents associated with freedmen working on the South Carolina plantation of John S. Wilson, 1865-1868.

“Articles of agreement between J.S. Wilson on the one part and the Freedmen residing on his plantation on the other.” 3pp, 8 x 10 in. Signed by John S. Wilson, and by 23 freedmen with their marks. Chester District, South Carolina. 27 October 1865. Docketed on verso with approval from South Carolina

Freedmen’s Bureau field officers: “HdQrs. 2nd Sub Dist / Chesterville SC / Nov 17th 1865 / Approved / By Order of / John R. Coates / Maj Comndg 2nd Sub Dist / John Fitzgerald / Lieut & Post Adjt.”

This labor contract between Wilson and freedmen residing and working on his plantation was executed just months after the Civil War ended. The first paragraph reads: “The said Freedmen ... do promise and agree to abide, continue and work faithfully, six days in each successive week (commencing each day at half hour by sun and ending at sunset, allowing one hour at 12 o’clock for dinner) on the plantation of the said J.S. Wilson unless prevented by inclement weather, sickness or unavoidable accident to be adjudged by the said J.S. Wilson and all the members of his white family, and not to steal or destroy any of the property of the said J.S. Wilson, nor entertain or encourage on his plantation idlers or stragglers from other plantations, nor to leave the plantation of the said J.S. Wilson without his or his agent’s permission.” Additional paragraphs outline provisions to be provided by Wilson to the freedmen as well as punishments for violation of the contract. Identified freedmen include Simon, Jacob, Alfred, Blackman, Bob, Anderson, Sam, Ira, Nancy, Mary, Major, and Mary Jane, all of whom are also identified as enslaved “property” on the 1863 manuscript appraisal accompanying the archive.

[With:] “Rules & Regulations for the Government of the employees on the plantation of J.S. Wilson.” 2pp, 8 x 10 in. [Chester District, South Carolina.] [ca 1865-1868]. Additional regulations and explanation of duties to be followed by freedmen on the Wilson plantation, including: “All the hands are required to do whatever work may be assigned them to do, either by me or the foreman and grumbling thereat will be regarded as disrespectful, and shuffling the same will be regarded as refusal and chargeable as such... Idleness in the field will be charged as lost time.”

[With:] Additional freedmen labor contracts: “Articles of agreement between J.S. Wilson and Brooks Hicklin and Lydia Backstrom et al persons of color whose names are hereunto attached employed on the plantation of said J.S. Wilson for the year 1867.” 26 March 1867. Signed by Wilson and by Hicklin and Backstrom with their marks. -Two “Articles of agreement between Ned Glover and James Moore” in which Moore agrees to hire his son James to Ned Glover to work on the plantation of J.S. Wilson. Both dated 11 April 1868 and signed by Ned Glover and by James Moore. -- “Articles of Agreement” between Ned Glover as agent of J.S. Wilson and the undersigned laborers employed by him.” 20 January 1868. Signed by Glover as well as by freedmen “George Winn [sp?],”

“Joe Johnston,” “Newton McClintock,” “Squire Sims,” and “Dennis Glover” with their marks. The 1880 US Federal Census locates a “Black” male named Ned Glover residing in Chester, South Carolina, indicating that perhaps the Glover identified in these agreements was a freedmen overseeing the labor of the other freedmen on the plantation. -- Two separate “Articles of Agreement” between Nathan Thomas agent of J.S. Wilson and the undersigned laborers employed by him.” 20 January 1868. Both signed by Thomas with his mark, along with freedmen “Jacob Moore,” “Hary Young,” John Gill,” and “Solomon Young” with their marks. -- Three unexecuted “Articles of agreement” between Wilson and unidentified freedmen, one from 1865 and two dated January 1866.

[Also with:] Manuscript document which identifies 45 freedmen as either “Full Hands” or “1/2 hands,” and which lists separately the shares of corn, peas, syrup, and meat due to another identified list of 24 freedmen. 3pp. [ca 1866]. -- Autograph letter to a “Col. Sterges” indicating that the recipient should show “Col. Jno. S. Wilson & Rosborough” a plantation which is apparently available for rent or sale. The author indicates that “I can vouch for Wilson & Rosborough that they will treat the negroes rite.” 1p, 7 February 1869.

[Also with:] Manuscript “Appraisement of the personal Estate of David Wilson deceased 30th June 1863.” Chester, South Carolina. 5 July 1863. 6pp, 6 5/8 x 11 in. Appraisement identifies 50 enslaved individuals by name, and notes that “Esther and her family or descendants were not included.” Signed “C.S. Wilson” by Christopher Scott Wilson (1835-1914), son of the deceased David E. Wilson (1794-1863), and addressed to brother David H. Wilson (18311863) who was serving in the Confederate Army. -- Two receipts for hire of the enslaved man “Jordan.” Both dated 1 January 1847. Verso of one receipt indicating payment “Rcd of David Wilson” in full for the amount $92.45. Additional receipt indicating payment for a “Blanket to Jordan.”

Together, 17 documents.

Following the Civil War, the Wilson family’s plantation located on Rocky Creek in Chester County, South Carolina, was run by John Simonton Wilson (18201902). Wilson had previously served from 1855-1861 in the South Carolina General Assembly and voted for the Ordinance of Secession on December 20, 1860. He went on to serve as a Captain in Co. D, “The Chester Troop,” 1st South Carolina Cavalry. The 1860 US Federal Census Slave Schedule indicates that John S. Wilson and his father, David E. Wilson, enslaved approximately 60 men, women, and children. Many names of enslaved individuals identified in the 1863 appraisement coincide with freedmen identified in the labor contracts, indicating that some freedmen remained at the Wilson plantation after the war.

The regulation of written labor agreements between planters and freedmen was one of the major activities of the Freedmen’s Bureau in South Carolina. Still, as evidenced in the documents offered here, post-war labor contracts were structured in accordance with the Southern states’ “Black Codes” which attempted to restrict African Americans’ freedom, impel them to work for low or no wages, and keep freedmen dependent and subordinate. While the contracts formally outlined terms of employment such as pay, clothing, medical care, the distribution of crops, length of work days, etc., the former enslavers were able to maintain a system of labor which closely approximated the system of enslavement which had existed in the former Confederate states.

An unusually large number of related freedmen documents offering a unique, longitudinal window into the Civil War and post emancipation African American community at the Wilson plantation. Provenance: Archive descended directly through the Wilson family to current consignor.

Helen married William McClure Rosborough in 1923 and was a regular visitor to the Rosborough family home on Saluda Street in Chester, South Carolina, where “Cook” had worked as a domestic laborer since approximately the early 1880s. Helen writes of “Cook’s” time as an enslaved person on the plantation of “Major Sims,” her African ancestry, her duties serving multiple generations of the Rosborough family, the small cabin in which she lived behind the Rosborough home, and relays her own feelings towards her “Black Mammy-in-law.”

Though the Reverend Edmund Noah Joyner was raised on a plantation and was himself a Confederate veteran, he spent the decades immediately following the Civil War as a teacher, missionary, and advocate for the formerly enslaved people of the Carolinas. Appeal was enclosed in envelope addressed to “Mrs. W. H. Roseborough [sic] / Chester / S.C.” Mrs. William Henry Rosborough was Mary McClure Rosborough (1853-1937), mother to William McClure Rosborough (18861975) and mother-in-law of Helen Carter Rosborough.

Fannie Sims, known as “Cook” by the family for whom she worked for nearly five decades after emancipation, was born into slavery, likely on the plantation of Major Joseph Stark Sims (1801-1875) in Union County, South Carolina. Her parents are believed to have been Isaac (Isom) Sims (1803-1870), an enslaved overseer on the plantation of Major Sims, and Hanah McClure (ca 1817-?), who may have been an enslaved woman on the nearby Union County plantation of John William McClure. Helen Rosborough’s recollections indicate that Fannie was a young child during the Civil War who was “taken as a maid into the Big House [Major Sims’s plantation home]” and later “somewhere near her 20th year” arrived at the Rosborough home. Oral history descended in the family of Fannie Sims indicates that Fannie was sent as an enslaved child to the John William McClure plantation to serve as a maid to the still young McClure daughters, Mary and Eliza. This scenario complements Rosborough family oral history which indicates that Fannie accompanied Mary McClure (1853-1916) to the Chester County, South Carolina, home of William Henry Rosborough (1854-1905) upon McClure’s 1881 marriage to Rosborough. By the early 1890s, “Cook” had become a central figure in the Rosborough family and a caregiver to the couple’s three young children. She resided in the main residence until a two-room cabin was built for her behind the main house at an unknown later date. “Cook” remained with the family in Chester County until approximately the late 1930s. She spent her last days in nearby Spartanburg County, South Carolina, in the home and care of her nieces.

[WORLD WAR II]. Extensive US Marine Corps album identified to African American Corporal Charles H. Fowler, 52nd Defense Battalion, USMC, who trained at Montford Point, Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.

Red limp cloth album with acrylic boards, approx. 12 3/4 x 8 3/8 in., containing 40+ documents and other imprints including certificates, registration/identification cards, newspaper clippings, Japanese currency, and more; and 129 photographs ranging in size from 3/4 x 1 1/8 in. to 9 1/4 x 6 1/4 in., most secured with adhesive. Photographs are predominantly silver gelatin snapshots capturing Fowler and fellow African American soldiers; operations in Japan, some showing casualties and prisoners, armored vehicles, and landscape views; and Fowler with family members. Several larger photographs are group shots of all-African American platoons including 374, 375, 376, and 377.

Cloth album cover is comprised of a fringed banner bearing applique emblems including the Marine Corps’ eagle, globe, and anchor symbol; and the 51st and 52nd Defense Battalion patches. Some documents and imprints contained in the album include Fowler’s honorable discharge documentation, Marine Corps identification card, Selective Service registration certificate, Veterans’ “Rights and Benefits” handbook, and “Individual Battle Doctrine” booklet labelled “Restricted.”

Charles Harrison Fowler (1924-1997) attended Pasadena Junior College before enlisting in the United States Marine Corps and completing basic training at Montford Point, Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. It is unclear whether or not he entered as a corporal or was promoted to that rank after entering the service. He likely mustered into the first African American Marine Corps combat unit, the 51st Defense Battalion, at Montford Point and was one of 400 officers and men transferred to the 52nd Defense Battalion under commanding officer Colonel Augustus W. Cockrell. The 52nd boarded the USS Winged Arrow, which took them first to Pearl Harbor and then to the Marshall Islands, where they served in many capacities including guarding against forays by Japanese air power and reconnaissance missions to some of the smaller islands to move natives from the path of destruction. The battalion moved to the recaptured island of Guam on 4 May 1945.

[EDUCATION]. Rust University. Holly Springs, Mississippi: 17 August 1894. Broadside emphasizing the necessity of an education, signed in type by C.E. Libby, President.

5 3/8 x 6 in. printed broadside.

Small broadside from school President Charles E. Libby notifying community members that the school is preparing to open “with better facilities than ever,” and further asking readers “Will you please make a special effort to notify your people of this, and urge upon them the necessity of an education?” The broadside continues describing a program whereby “worthy poor” students can secure “school privileges.”

The educational institution today known as Rust College is a historically Black college which was established in 1866 by the Freedman’s Aid Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Its founders were Northern missionaries who opened a school in Asbury Methodist Episcopal Church, accepting adults of all ages, as well as children, for instruction in elementary subjects. A year later the first building on the present campus was erected. The Reverend Charles E. Libby served as the school president from 1885-1897, and it was during his tenure that the name of the school was changed to Rust University, a tribute to Richard S. Rust of Cincinnati, Ohio, Secretary of the Freedman’s Aid Society. As students progressed, high school and college courses were added to the curriculum, and in 1878 two students were graduated from the college department. Among the notable students and alumni of Rust College is Ida B. Wells, who was born and raised in Holly Springs. Today, Rust College is one of ten HBCUs founded before 1868 that is still in operation.

168 [EDUCATION]. A group of 9 documents associated with Lewis B. Moore (18661928), prominent educator and Dean of the Teachers’ College at Howard University.

Spanning 1916-1923, the group of documents includes autograph letters and typed letters signed (“L.B. Moore” and “L.B.M”), as well as a telegram. Correspondence predominantly relates to Moore’s efforts to assist one of his former students, Miss Jean Snowden, in securing a teaching position at the Tuskegee Institute. In a letter of 12 October 1917 Moore indicates that he has recommended Miss Snowden for the “Position of English Teacher” at Tuskegee, and continues, “I shall try my best to land you here as you preferred this job. It will give you the experience and prestige you want...You will like the place I am sure.” Two letters from 1918 illustrate Moore’s dedication and sympathies for the ongoing war effort. Writing to Jean Snowden in February 1918 he describes how the male students he teaches are “gradually taken away for service in War,” and noting that “This awful conflict is stunning!!” Ten months later, he apologizes for the delay in wrting to Miss Snowden, indicating that he has “been on the road since May doing war work.”

Lewis Baxter Moore was a prominent Black educator, minister, scholar, and school administrator. Born in Huntsvile, Alabama, he earned his BA and MA from Fisk University in Nashville before earning his Doctor of Philosophy degree in 1896 from the University of Pennsylvania - the first person of African descent to do so. At that time, only four other African Americans had earned a PhD at any university. Moore taught multiple subjects at Howard University following his graduate work, and in 1899 he founded the Howard University Teachers’ College. He served as the dean of the Teachers’ College from 1899-1920. During World War I, Moore was deeply supportive of the war effort, authoring “How the Colored Race Can Help in the Problems Issuing from the War” (1918 and 1919) and “Report Concerning the Needs and Problems of Negroes in War Camp Communities” (1918). Near the end of his career he was ordained a minister becoming the Reverend Dr. Moore. He spent the last three years of his life in Philadelphia as the pastor of the Faith Presbyterian Church.

Fund!” [Also with:] The Afro American. No. 39. Baltimore, MD, 1 July 1933. Issue features cover story with the headline, “Scottsboro Verdict is Set Aside.”

The “Scottsboro Boys” as they came to be called, were a group of nine African American preteens, teenagers, and young men falsely accused of raping two white women on a freight train in northern Alabama in March of 1931. Eight of the defendants were convicted and sentenced to death by an allwhite jury, while the ninth was granted a mistrial by the judge on account of his youth. Public outcry and protests in the north succeeded in getting the convictions overturned by the Supreme Court in 1932, citing the defendants’ inadequate legal representation. The process of retrial, reconviction, and appeal went on for years, and ultimately the “Scottsboro Boys” served a collective 100+ years in prison. The Scottsboro cases, or rather the widespread indignation and national dialogue they sparked, led to two important Supreme Court decisions reached in 1935 regarding the exclusion of African Americans from jury service. The injustice suffered by the “Scottsboro Boys” also inspired a myriad of popular works including Richard Wright’s 1940 novel, Native Son.

The names of the defendants were Clarence Norris, Charley Weems, Haywood Patterson, Olen Montgomery, Willie Roberson, Roy Wright, Ozzie Powell, Andy Wright, and Eugene Williams.

[OCCUPATIONAL]. Pullman Railroad Company porter’s uniform jacket and hat. Though African American men working as Pullman Porters often faced rampant discrimination, difficult working conditions, and received low pay, the position nonetheless still maintained an aura of prestige within the African American community. This was exemplified, in part, by the Porter’s uniform, but came at a steep cost. An April 1915 government inquiry led by Chairman Frank P. Walsh of the Federal Industrial Commission found that porters were typically paid $27.50 a month wages, but were required to purchase their uniforms exclusively at Marshall Fields & Company at the cost of $24.50 whenever they needed a new uniform. Despite this, employment as a Pullman Porter still offered pay and working conditions which were preferable to those offered in many other jobs available to Black men while providing a steppingstone to the middle-class for many in the African American community. This uniform may date to the 1950s-1960s as earlier records for the A.G. Meier Uniform Co. locate the business at 205 W. Monroe Street in Chicago.

GUIDE FOR PROSPECTIVE BUYERS

Conditions of Sale

All bidders with Hindman LLC must read and agree to Conditions of Sale posted in this catalogue prior to bidding at an auction.

Viewing Auction Items

It is highly recommended that all prospective bidders either view the sale via our online catalogue or contact Hindman LLC for further images or to schedule an appointment to view objects in person.

Estimates

Hindman LLC provides catalogue descriptions and pre-auction estimates for each lot included in the sale. These estimates are a guide for prospective bidders. They are not definitive. All pre-sale estimates are subject to revision.

Condition Reports

We are happy to provide a condition report for lots with a low estimate of $300 and above. Nevertheless, intending buyers are reminded that condition reports are statements of our opinion only, and that each lot is sold “AS IS,” per our Conditions of Sale, as outlined in the back of this catalogue. All lots should be viewed personally by prospective buyers or their agents to evaluate the condition of the property offered for sale due to the highly subjective nature of condition reports.

Bidding at Auction

The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. In addition to the hammer price, the buyer agrees to pay Hindman LLC a buyer’s premium as well as any applicable taxes.

Bidding Increments

Bidding generally opens at half the low estimate and advances in the following order, although the auctioneer may vary the bidding increments during the course of the auction. The standard bidding increments are:

In-House Bidding

Our auctions are free and open to the public with no obligation for attendees to bid. Registration requires your full contact information, photo identification, credit card information, your signature and agreement to the Conditions of Sale.. If you are the successful bidder, your paddle number and the hammer price will be announced by the auctioneer.

Live Bid Online

Hindman LLC allows absentee and live bidding through our website at hindmanauctions.com as well as absentee and live bidding through third party online bidding providers which vary by sale. For more information regarding online bidding please visit our website at hindmanauctions.com.

Absentee Bidding

If you are unable to attend an auction, you may place an absentee bid, either through our website at hindmanauctions.com or through the bid form provided at the back of this catalogue. An absentee bid is the highest price you are willing to pay exclusive of buyer’s premium and applicable sales tax. Hindman LLC will exercise absentee bids at no additional charge. Absentee bids are always confidential, and bids are executed at the lowest price possible by the auctioneer according to reserves and competing bids.

Telephone Bidding

You may register telephone bid requests either through our website at hindmanauctions.com or through the bid form provided at the back of this catalogue. Upon registering for a telephone bid, you will be called on the day of the auction by a Hindman representative approximately five lots before your item is scheduled to be sold. They will communicate to you the bidding activity and will relay your bids to the auctioneer at your discretion. Please note we can only accept telephone bids for lots with a low estimate of $500 or above unless otherwise noted online. Telephone bids may be requested up to 2 hours prior to the auction start time.

Conditions of Sale

These Conditions of Sale set out the terms upon which Hindman LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) sells property by lot in this catalogue. You agree to be bound by these terms by registering to bid and/or by bidding in our auction.

A. BEFORE THE AUCTION

1. LOT DESCRIPTIONS AND WARRANTIES

Our description of a lot, any statement of a lot’s condition, and any other oral or written statement about a lot—such as its nature, condition, artist, period, materials, dimensions, weight, exhibition or publication history, or provenance— are our opinion and shall not to be relied upon by you as a statement of fact. Except for the limited authenticity warranty contained in paragraphs E and F below, we do not provide any guarantee of our description or the nature of a lot.

2. CONDITION

The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair. All lots are sold “AS IS,” in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot’s condition. Any reference to condition in a catalogue description or a condition report shall not amount to a full accounting of condition and may not include all faults, inherent defects, restoration, alteration, or adaptation. Likewise, images in our catalogue may not depict a lot accurately, as colors and shades may appear different in print or on screen than on physical inspection. We are not responsible for providing you with a description of a lot’s condition in the catalogue or in a condition report.

3. VIEWING LOTS

We offer pre-auction viewings, either scheduled or by appointment, that are free of charge. If you believe that the catalogue description or condition reports are not sufficient, we suggest you inspect a lot personally or through a knowledgeable representative before you bid on a lot to make sure that you accept the description and its condition. We recommend you hire a professional adviser if you are not familiar with how to address the nature or condition of an object. Hindman has several salerooms throughout the country and the location of sales, or individual items may vary. It is important to check with our website and be aware of where each lot is located, for both viewing and for shipping purposes.

4.

ESTIMATES

Estimates of a lot account for the condition, rarity, quality, and provenance of the object and are based upon prices realized for similar objects in past auctions. Neither you nor anyone else may rely on our estimates as a prediction or guarantee of the actual selling price of a lot or its value for any other purpose. Estimates do not include the buyer’s premium, any applicable taxes, and any other applicable charges.

We may, in our sole discretion, withdraw a lot from auction at any time prior to or during the sale and shall have no liability to you for our decision to withdraw.

B. REGISTERING TO BID

1. GENERAL

New bidders may be required to provide us with a financial reference and/or a deposit before we allow them to bid.

3. RETURNING BIDDERS

If you have not bought anything from us recently, then we may require you to register as a new bidder, as described in the paragraph above. Please contact us at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the auction.

4. BIDDING FOR ANOTHER PERSON

If you are bidding as an agent on behalf of another person, your principal must be a registered bidder and must provide us with written authorization allowing you to bid. You, as the agent, shall accept personal liability to pay the purchase price and all other sums due unless we have agreed in writing before the auction that you are acting as an agent on behalf of your principal and that we will only seek payment from your principal.

5. BIDDING IN THE SALEROOM

If you wish to bid in the saleroom, you must first acquire a bidding paddle at least thirty (30) minutes before the auction.

If you make a written bid on a lot that does not have a reserve and there is no higher bid than yours, we will bid on your behalf at approximately fifty percent (50%) of the low estimate or, if lower, the amount of your bid. The first written bid we receive of those for identical amounts will be given priority over other bids.

7. CREDIT CARD AUTHORIZATION HOLD

When you register to bid you may be asked to provide us with a valid credit card number. You authorize us to verify the validity of the credit card by placing a temporary authorization hold on the card that will remain until it falls off, usually within 2 to 7 days.

C. DURING THE AUCTION

1. BIDDING IN THE AUCTION

(a) Live Auctions. We will appoint an individual auctioneer to administer a live auction. The auctioneer may accept bids from (a) written bids left with us by bidders before the auction; (b) bidders in the saleroom; (c) telephone bidders; and (d) Internet bidders, including bidders through third-party bidding sites. Bidding generally starts below the low estimate and increases in steps, called bid increments. The auctioneer will decide at his/her sole option where the bidding should start and the bid increments. Bid increments may vary from auction to auction. You shall comply with all laws and regulations in force that govern your bidding.

(b) Online Auctions. The auctioneer will accept bids from Internet bidders, including bidders through third-party bidding sites. Bidding generally starts below the low estimate and increases in steps, called bid increments. The auctioneer will decide at his/her sole option where the bidding should start and the bid increments. Bid increments may vary from auction to auction. You shall comply with all laws and regulations in force that govern your bidding.

(c) Timed Auctions. Bids may only be submitted on our website between the dates and times specified in the lot’s description. Your bid is submitted once you place and confirm your bid amount. You agree that a bid is final once it is placed and that you may never amend or revoke your bid. You are fully responsible for any errors you make in bidding. Bidding generally opens at or below the low estimate and increases in steps (bidding increments) to be determined in Hindman’s sole discretion.

5. WITHDRAWAL

2. AUCTIONEER’S DISCRETION

The auctioneer shall have absolute discretion to (a) admit a bidder into or remove a bidder from the saleroom or online auction; (b) accept or refuse any bid; (c) change the order of the lots in the auction; (d) move the bidding backward or forward; (e) withdraw any lot from the auction; (f) divide any lot or combine any two or more lots; (g) reopen or continue the bidding even after the hammer has fallen; and (h) continue the bidding, determine the successful bidder, cancel the sale of the lot, or reoffer and resell any lot in the event that there is an error or dispute related to bidding or the application of the reserve, whether during or after the auction. You must provide us with written notice within three (3) business days of the date of the auction if you believe that the auctioneer has accepted the successful bid in error. The auctioneer will consider the claim and decide in good faith if the sale of the lot is final, whether he/she will cancel the sale of the lot, or whether he/she will reoffer and resell the lot. The auctioneer’s decision in exercise of this discretion is final. This paragraph does not in any way affect our ability to cancel the sale of a lot under other applicable provisions of these Conditions of Sale, including the rights of cancellation set forth in sections B(1), D(6), E(2), and G(1).

3. BIDDING ON BEHALF OF THE SELLER

The auctioneer may, at his/her sole option, bid on behalf of the seller up to one bidding increment before the reserve by making either consecutive or responsive bids. The auctioneer will not identify these as bids made on behalf of the seller. If a lot is offered without reserve, the auctioneer will open the bidding at a set increment lower than the lot’s low estimate and will solicit higher bids from that amount. If there are no bids on a lot, the auctioneer may deem the lot unsold.

4. SUCCESSFUL BIDS AND INVOICES

Subject to paragraph C(2), the contract of sale between the seller and the successful bidder is formed when the final bid is accepted and the auctioneer’s hammer strikes. The successful bid price is the hammer price, and we will issue an invoice only to the registered bidder who made the successful bid. While we send out invoices by mail and/or email after the auction, we shall not be responsible for telling you whether your bid was successful. You should contact us immediately after the auction to find out the success of your bid in order to avoid having to pay storage charges. Please note that Hindman will not accept payments for purchased lots from any party other than the purchaser, unless otherwise agreed between the purchaser and Hindman prior to the sale.

D. AFTER THE AUCTION

1. THE BUYER’S PREMIUM

In addition to the hammer price, the successful bidder agrees to pay us a buyer’s premium on the hammer price of each lot sold. On all lots we charge twenty-six percent (26%) of the hammer price up to and including $1,000,000; twenty percent (20%) of any amount in excess of $1,000,001 up to and including $5,000,000; and fifteen percent (15%) of any amount in excess of $5,000,001. If the bidder bids through a third-party platform the bidder agrees to pay us a surcharge equal to the fee levied by the third-party platform. The third-party platform fee is in addition to the buyer’s premium

2. TAXES

The successful bidder is responsible for any applicable taxes, including any sales or use tax or equivalent tax wherever such taxes may arise on the hammer price, the buyer’s premium, and/or any other charges related to the lot. A sales or use tax is dependent upon a number of factors, including, but not limited to, our volume of sale and the place of delivery of the lot, regardless of the nationality or citizenship of the successful bidder. The applicable sales tax rate will be determined based upon the state, county, or locale to which the lot will be shipped or where it is picked-up in person. We collect sales tax in states where legally required.

3. MAKING PAYMENT

(a) Immediately following the auction, you must pay the purchase price, consisting of the hammer price, plus the buyer’s premium, plus any applicable duties and sales, use, or other applicable taxes. Payment is due no later than by the end of the seventh (7th) calendar day following the date of the auction, which we refer to as the due date.

(b) We will only accept payment from the registered successful bidder. Once issued, we cannot change the buyer’s name on an invoice or reissue the invoice in a different name.

(c) You must pay for lots in US dollars in one of the following ways:

(i) Wire transfer.

(ii) Bank checks: You must make these payable to Hindman LLC, and we may impose other conditions. Once we have deposited your check, property cannot be released until five (5) business days have passed.

(iii) Personal checks: You must make these payable to Hindman LLC, and they must be drawn from US dollar accounts from a US bank. The property will not be released until the check has cleared and the funds are received by us.

(iv) Credit card: Credit card payments may not exceed $10,000 and a

convenience fee of 3% will be added to each credit card payment.

(v) ACH Bank Transfer

(d) You must quote your invoice number when making a payment. All payments sent by post must be sent to Hindman LLC, 1338 West Lake Street, Chicago, IL 60607, ATTN: Client Accounting Department.

4. TRANSFERRING OWNERSHIP TO YOU

You will not own the lot and title will not pass to you until we have received full payment in good funds of the purchase price, even in circumstances where we have released the lot to you.

5. TRANSFERRING RISK TO YOU

Unless we have agreed otherwise with you, the risk in and responsibility for the lot will transfer to you from whichever is the earlier of the following: (a) when you collect the lot; or (b) the end of the thirtieth (30th) day following the date of the auction or, if earlier, the date the lot is taken into care by a third-party warehouse.

6. YOUR FAILURE TO PAY

If you fail to pay us the purchase price in full in good funds by the due date, we will be entitled to do one or more of the following (as well as enforce any other rights and remedies we have by law) at our sole discretion:

(a) We can charge interest from the due date at a rate of up to one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month on the unpaid amount due.

(b) We can cancel the sale of the lot and sell the lot again, publicly or privately, on such terms as we believe appropriate, in which case you must pay us any shortfall between the amount you owe us and the resale price, plus all costs, expenses, losses, damages, and legal fees we incur due to the cancellation.

(c) We can pay the seller the amount due to them, in which case you acknowledge and understand that we will have all the seller’s rights to pursue you for such amount.

(d) We can hold you legally responsible for the amount you owe us and bring legal proceedings against you to recover the amount owed by you, plus other losses, interest, legal fees, and costs as allowed by law.

(e) We can reveal your identity and contact details to the seller.

(f) We can reject any bids made by or on behalf of you in future auctions or require you to provide us with a deposit before accepting any bids.

(g) We can exercise all the rights and remedies of a person holding security over any property in our possession owned by you, whether by way of pledge, security interest, or in any other way as permitted by the law of the place where such property is located. You will be deemed to have granted such security to us and we may retain such property as collateral security for your obligations to us.

(h) We can take any other action we deem necessary or appropriate.

7. SHIPPING, COLLECTION, AND STORAGE

(a) You must collect purchased lots within thirty (30) days of the auction. We can assist in making shipping arrangements by suggesting art handlers, packers, transporters, or experts, but you must arrange all transport and shipping with them, and we are not responsible for their acts, failure to act, or neglect. Hindman has several salerooms throughout the country and the location of sales, or individual items may vary. It is important to check with our website and be aware of where each lot is located, for both viewing and for shipping.

(b) If you do not collect any purchased lot within thirty (30) days following the auction, we may, at our sole option, (i) charge you storage and insurance costs; (ii) move the lot to another Hindman location or to a third-party warehouse, whereupon we will charge you transport costs, insurance costs, and administration fees for doing so, and you will be subject to the third-party storage warehouse’s standard terms and responsible for paying its standard fees and costs; or (iii) sell the lot in any commercially reasonable way we think appropriate.

(c) In accordance with applicable state law, if you have paid for the lot in full but you do not collect the lot within the time specified by the law of the state where the auction takes place, we may charge you state sales tax for the lot.

(d) Nothing in this paragraph is intended to limit our rights under paragraph D(6).

8. EXPORTING, IMPORTING, AND ENDANGERED SPECIES

(a) The shipping of a lot is affected by United States export laws or the import laws of other countries. If you are outside the United States, then local laws may prevent you from importing a lot. You alone are responsible for seeking advice prior to bidding and meeting the requirements of any law or regulation applying to the export or import of a lot.

(b) Lots made of or including (regardless of the percentage) endangered and other protected species of wildlife—such as, among other things, ivory, tortoiseshell, crocodile skin, rhinoceros horn, whalebone, certain species of coral, and Brazilian rosewood—may be subject to export controls in the US and import controls in other countries. You should check the relevant wildlife laws and regulations before bidding on any lot containing wildlife material if you plan to export the lot from the United States, import the lot into another country, or ship the lot between states. Your purchase of a lot containing endangered and other protected species of wildlife is at your own risk, and you shall be

responsible for any scientific test or other reports required for export from the United States or for shipment between states. We will not cancel your purchase and refund the purchase price if your lot may not be exported, imported, or shipped between states, or if it is seized for any reason by a government authority. It is your responsibility to determine and satisfy the requirements of any applicable laws or regulations relating to import, export, and/or interstate shipping of a lot containing endangered and other protected species of wildlife.

E. WARRANTIES

1. SELLER’S WARRANTIES

For each lot, the seller gives a warranty that the seller (a) is the owner of the lot or a joint owner of the lot acting with the permission of the other co-owners or, if the seller is not the owner or a joint owner of the lot, has the permission of the owner to sell the lot or the right to do so by law; and (b) has the right to transfer ownership of the lot to the buyer without any restrictions or claims by anyone else. If either of the above warranties are incorrect, the seller shall not have to pay more than the purchase price (as defined in paragraph D(3) above) paid by you to us. The seller will not be responsible to you for any reason for loss of profits or business, expected savings, loss of opportunity or interest, costs, damages, other damages, or expenses. The seller gives no warranty other than as set out above, and as far as the seller is allowed by law, all warranties from the seller to you, and all other obligations upon the seller that may be added to this agreement by law, are excluded. No employee or agent of Hindman is authorized to make a representation or provide other information, whether orally or in writing, that amends the seller’s warranties or creates an additional warranty on behalf of the seller with respect to a lot. Any such representation, other information, or additional warranty shall be null and void.

2. OUR LIMITED AUTHENTICITY WARRANTY

Our limited authenticity warranty, which lasts for one (1) year from the date of a live auction or three (3) months from an online only auction, is that the lots in our sales are authentic as defined in paragraph H, below. You must notify Hindman regarding concerns of authenticity in writing within one (1) year of the date of a live auction or within three (3) months of the date of an online only auction. Following receipt of that written notification, subject to the terms below, Hindman will refund the purchase price paid by the client. The terms of this limited authenticity warranty are as follows:

(a) It will be honored for claims notified in writing within a period of one (1) year from the date of a live auction or three (3) months from an online only auction. After such time, we will not be obligated to honor the limited authenticity warranty.

(b) It is given only for information shown in UPPERCASE type in the first line of the catalogue description (the Heading). It does not apply to any information other than that in the Heading, even if it is shown in UPPERCASE type.

(c) It does not apply to any Heading or part of a Heading that is qualified.

“Qualified” means limited by a clarification in a lot’s catalogue description or by the use in a Heading of one of the terms listed in the definition of “qualified” provided in paragraph H, below. Qualified Headings are not covered at all by this limited authenticity warranty.

(d) It applies to the Heading as amended by any saleroom notice.

(e) It does not apply where scholarship has developed since the auction, leading to a change in generally accepted opinion. Further, it does not apply if the Heading either matched the generally accepted opinion of experts at the date of the auction or drew attention to any conflict of opinion.

(f) It does not apply if the lot can only be shown not to be authentic by a scientific process that, on the date we published the catalogue, was not available or generally accepted for use, was unreasonably expensive or impractical, or was likely to have damaged the lot.

(g) Its benefit is only available to the original buyer shown on the invoice for the lot, issued at the time of the sale, and only if, on the date of the notice of claim, the original buyer is the full owner of the lot and the lot is free from any claim, interest, or restriction by anyone else. The benefit of this limited authenticity warranty may not be transferred by the original buyer to anyone else.

(h) In order to make a claim under the limited authenticity warranty, you must

(i) give us written notice of your claim within one (1) year of the date of a live auction or three (3) months from an online only auction ; (ii) at our option, pay for and provide us with the written opinions of two recognized experts in the field, mutually agreed upon by you and us, confirming that the lot is not authentic (we reserve the right to obtain additional opinions at our expense); and (iii) return the lot at your expense to the saleroom from which you bought it in the condition it was in at the time of sale.

(i) Your only right under this limited authenticity warranty is to cancel the sale and receive a refund of the purchase price paid by you to us. We will not, under any circumstances, be required to pay you more than the purchase price, nor will we be liable for any loss of profits or business, loss of opportunity or value, expected savings or interest, costs, damages, other damages, or expenses.

(j) No employee or agent of Hindman is authorized to make a representation or provide additional information, whether orally or in writing, that amends the limited authenticity warranty or creates an additional warranty with respect to a lot. Any such representation, other information, or additional warranty shall be null and void.

3. ADDITIONAL WARRANTY FOR BOOKS

If the lot is a book, then we give an additional warranty to the original buyer shown on the invoice for the lot issued at the time of the sale in the following circumstances:

(a) We will refund the purchase price to the original buyer if we, in our sole discretion, are convinced that the book is defective in text or illustration, subject to the following terms:

(i) This additional warranty does not apply to (A) the absence of blanks, half titles, tissue guards, or advertisements; or damage in respect of bindings, stains, spotting, marginal tears, or other defects not affecting the completeness of the text or illustration; (B) drawings, autographs, letters or manuscripts, signed photographs, music, atlases, maps, or periodicals; (C) books not identified by title; (D) lots sold without a printed estimate; (E) books that are described in the catalog as sold not subject to return; or (F) defects stated in any condition report or announced at the time of sale.

(ii) To make a claim under this additional warranty, you must give written details of the defect within twenty-one (21) days of the date of the sale and return the lot within twenty-one (21) days of the date of the sale to the saleroom at which you bought it in the same condition as at the time of sale.

(iii) Paragraphs E(2)(b), (c), (d), (e), (h), and (i) also apply to a claim under this additional warranty. (c) No employee or agent of Hindman is authorized to make a representation or provide other information, whether orally or in writing, that amends the additional warranty for books or creates an additional warranty with respect to a lot. Any such representation, other information, or additional warranty shall be null and void.

4. JEWELRY

(a) Colored gemstones (such as rubies, sapphires, and emeralds) may have been treated to improve their appearance through methods such as heating and/or various clarity enhancements. These methods are considered common by the international jewelry trade but may make a gemstone more fragile and/or cause the gemstone to require special care over time.

(b) All types of gemstones may have been improved by some method. You may request a gemological report for any item that does not have a report if the request is made to us at least three (3) weeks before the date of the auction and you pay the fee for the report.

(c) We do not obtain a gemological report for every gemstone sold in our auctions. When we do get gemological reports from internationally accepted gemological laboratories, such reports are described in the catalogue. Reports from American gemological laboratories describe any improvement or treatment to the gemstone. Reports from European gemological laboratories describe any improvement or treatment only if we request that they do so, but they do confirm when no improvement or treatment has been made. Because of differences in approach and technology, laboratories may not agree on whether a gemstone has been treated, the amount of treatment, or whether that treatment is permanent. The gemological laboratories only report on the improvements or treatments known to them at the date they make the report.

(d) For jewelry sales, estimates are based on the information in any gemological report. If no report is available, assume that the gemstones may have been treated or enhanced.

5. WATCHES AND CLOCKS

(a) Almost all clocks and watches are repaired in their lifetime and may include parts that are not original. We do not give a warranty that any individual component part of any watch is authentic. Watchbands described as “associated” are not part of the original watch and may not be authentic. Clocks may be sold without pendulums, weights, or keys.

(b) As collectors’ watches often have very fine and complex mechanisms, you are responsible for any general service, change of battery, or further repair work that may be necessary. We do not give a warranty that any watch is in good working order. Certificates are not available unless described in the catalogue. (c) Most wristwatches have been opened to find out the type and quality of movement. For that reason, wristwatches with water-resistant cases may not be waterproof, and we recommend you have them checked by a competent watchmaker before use.

(d) Many of the watches offered for sale in this catalogue are pictured with straps made of endangered or protected animal materials such as alligator or crocodile skin. When straps are shown for display purposes only and are not for sale. We may remove and retain the strap prior to shipment from the sale site. Please check with the department for details on a lot with such a strap.

6. YOUR WARRANTIES

You warrant to us and the seller that (a) the funds you use for payment are not connected with any criminal activity, including tax evasion, and neither are you under investigation, nor have you been charged with or convicted of money laundering, terrorist activities, or other crimes; (b) where you are bidding on behalf of another person, (i) you have conducted appropriate customer due diligence on the ultimate buyer(s) of the lot(s) in accordance with all applicable

laundering and sanctions laws, you consent to us relying on this due diligence, you will retain for a period of not less than five (5) years the documentation evidencing the due diligence, and you will make such documentation promptly available for immediate inspection by an independent third-party auditor upon our written request to do so; (ii) the arrangements between you and the ultimate buyer(s) in relation to the lot or otherwise do not, in whole or in part, facilitate tax crimes; (iii) you do not know, and have no reason to suspect, that the funds used for payment are connected with or the proceeds of any criminal activity, including tax evasion, or that the ultimate buyer(s) are under investigation for, or have been charged with or convicted of, money laundering, terrorist activities, or other crimes.

F. OUR LIABILITY TO YOU

(a) We give no warranty in relation to any statement made, or information given, by us or our representatives or employees about any lot other than as set out in the limited authenticity warranty or in the additional warranty for books, and as far as we are allowed by law, all warranties and other terms that may be added to this agreement by law are excluded. The seller’s warranties contained in paragraph E(1) are their own, and we do not have any liability to you in relation to those warranties.

(b) We are not responsible to you for any reason (whether for breaking this agreement or for any other matter relating to your purchase of, or bid for, any lot) other than in the event of fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation by us, or other than as expressly set out in these Conditions of Sale.

(c) WE DO NOT GIVE ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, OR GUARANTEE OR ASSUME ANY LIABILITY OF ANY KIND IN RESPECT OF ANY LOT WITH REGARD TO MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, DESCRIPTION, SIZE, QUALITY, CONDITION, ATTRIBUTION, AUTHENTICITY, RARITY, IMPORTANCE, MEDIUM, PROVENANCE, EXHIBITION HISTORY, LITERATURE, OR HISTORICAL RELEVANCE. EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY LOCAL LAW, ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS EXCLUDED BY THIS PARAGRAPH.

(d) Our written and telephone bidding services, online bidding services, and condition reports are free services, and we are not responsible to you for any error, omission, or failure of these services.

(e) We have no responsibility to any person other than a buyer in connection with the purchase of any lot.

(f) If, despite the terms in paragraphs F(a)–(e) or E(2)–(3) above, we are found to be liable to you for any reason, we shall not have to pay more than the purchase price paid by you to us. We will not be responsible to you for any reason for loss of profits or business, loss of opportunity or value, expected savings or interest, costs, damages, or expenses.

G. OTHER TERMS

1. OUR ABILITY TO CANCEL

In addition to the other rights of cancellation contained herein, we can cancel a sale of a lot if (i) any of your warranties in paragraph E(4) are not correct; (ii) we reasonably believe that completing the transaction is, or may be, unlawful; or (iii) we reasonably believe that the sale places us or the seller under any liability to anyone else or may damage our reputation.

2. RECORDINGS

We may videotape and/or audio record proceedings at any auction. We will keep any personal information confidential, except to the extent that disclosure is required by law. If you do not want to be videotaped, you may decide to make a telephone or written bid or bid online instead. Unless we agree otherwise in writing, you may not videotape or record proceedings at any auction.

3. COPYRIGHT

We own the copyright in all images, illustrations, and written material produced by or for us relating to a lot, including the contents of our catalogues, unless otherwise noted therein. You cannot use them without our prior written permission. We make no representation and offer no guarantee that the buyer of a lot will gain any copyright or other reproduction rights.

4. ENFORCING THIS AGREEMENT

If a court finds that any part of this agreement is invalid, illegal, or impossible to enforce, that part of the agreement will be treated as being deleted, and the rest of this agreement will not be affected.

5. TRANSFERRING YOUR RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

You may not grant a security over or transfer your rights or responsibilities under these terms unless we have given our written permission. This agreement will be binding on your successors or estate and anyone who takes over your rights and responsibilities.

6. PERSONAL INFORMATION

We will hold and process your personal information in line with our privacy policy at www.hindmanauctions.com.

7. WAIVER

No failure or delay to exercise any right or remedy contained herein shall constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor shall it prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. No single or partial exercise of such right or remedy shall prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.

8. LAW AND DISPUTES

This agreement, and any noncontractual obligations arising out of or in connection with this agreement, or any other rights you may have relating to the purchase of a lot will be governed by the laws of Illinois. You and we agree to try to settle the dispute by mediation submitted to JAMS, or its successor, for mediation in Illinois. If the dispute is not settled by mediation within sixty (60) days from the date when mediation is initiated, then the dispute shall be submitted to JAMS, or its successor, for final and binding arbitration in accordance with its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures or, if the dispute involves a non-US party, the JAMS International Arbitration Rules. The seat of the arbitration shall be Illinois, and the arbitration shall be conducted by one arbitrator, who shall be appointed within thirty (30) days after the initiation of the arbitration. The language used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English. The arbitrator shall order the production of documents only upon a showing that such documents are relevant and material to the outcome of the dispute. The arbitration shall be confidential, except to the extent necessary to enforce a judgment or where disclosure is required by law. The arbitration award shall be final and binding on all parties involved. Judgment upon the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant party or its assets. This arbitration and any proceedings conducted hereunder shall be governed by Title 9 (Arbitration) of the United States Code and by the United Nations Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards of June 10, 1958.
