(Boston, Cocoanut Fire), City of Boston License to be a Common Victualler issued to New Cocoanut Grove Inc., issued the first day of January, 1937, until December 31, 1937, listing Benjamin Welansky as President, with the address of “17 Piedmont Street and rear entrance from Shawmut Street, for stock only, first floor,” numbered 934, one page, (with folds, edge chipping and light charring to edges), sold together with fragments of other licenses, including a “Permit to Sell, Expose for Sale or Deliver Ice Cream and/or Sherbet,” numbered 1863, issued by the City of Boston Health Department on May 3, 1940, through April 30, 1941, and the fragment of another numbered 430, and issued on April 22, 1941, with two very small fragments, one from the Bureau of Milk Inspection, (all with smoke staining and edge chipping).

Note: On November 28th, 1942, The Cocoanut Grove, one of Boston’s most popular nightclubs, had somewhere close to 1000 people enjoying its exotic “Casablanca”-style decor, and live music, (although the facility’s official capacity was half that). Formerly a city speak easy, the club had grown in size over the years, incorporating sections of real estate along Piedmont and Shawmut streets, with dark corners, and a cozy bar for secluded assignations. When fire broke out in that bar area, the fate of 492 souls was sealed within a matter of moments. Due to the nature of the building—including obscured or locked exits, lack of exit signage, low lighting, and narrow passageways—the fire, heat, and fumes overtook patrons with hideous speed.

Benjamin “Barney” Welanksy, the club’s owner, who claimed organized crime connections, and had friendships with several crooked city officials during a time when Boston politics was rife with graft, had kept the club operating despite numerous safety violations.

After the horrific fire, Welansky was convicted on nineteen counts of manslaughter, and sentenced to twelve to fifteen years in prison.

14

This tragedy is one that will never be forgotten by the City of Boston, and, by extension, the rest of the United States. Because of this disaster, new fire laws were put into place that exist and protect us to this day, including the use of non-flammable materials, sprinklers, proper exit signage and emergency lighting and standardized, functioning doors. All these things we now take for granted, but would have saved hundreds of lives the night of November 28, 1942. $1,500-2,000

Text in full: Cousin (Augusta)/Your letter accompanied by your likeness is received. I do not think you are flattered in the least by your likeness or else my memory serves me wrong. I am very thankful for it.

One is taken with my friend Washington who I have mentioned before as being a rebel officer captured by our troops at “Fair Oaks.” Wm. Jordan has been exchanged and is now on his way to the North, he passed their place several days ago in company with quite a number of our wounded on board the steamer “Louisiana” his wound was doing well. I do not know whether he will go home or not. The wounded would all be taken as far as Baltimore and from there I do not know what disposition would be made of them. I sent word of his release to his friends so that they could meet him at Baltimore if they desired to do so.

Generals Halleck, Burnside and Meigs arrived here yesterday from Washington to consult with General McClellan they started for Washington this morning. Nothing interesting or exciting is transpiring here now except the reviewing of the different Corps d’Armee by them, commandant and General McClellan.

McClellan and staff, he reviewed that position of the army which is encamped in this vicinity that occupied nearly the entire day. Yesterday the same party visited the late battle ground. The President will probably return to Washington tomorrow.

C. Jordon, a brother of William, visited me yesterday and remained till [sic] this morning. His visit to this army was for the purpose of seeing another brother who was wounded at the battle of South Mountain.

He started today for Baltimore to see William He told me that he probably would return home by way of Niagara Falls. You ask me if I will not be glad when the last battle is fought. So far as my country is concerned I, of course must wish for peace and will be glad when the war is ended, but if I answer for myself alone. I must say that I shall regret to see the war end. I would be willing, yes glad, to see a battle every day during my life. Now do not misunderstand me. I only speak of my own interests and desires, perfectly regardless of all the world besides. but as I said before, when I think of the pain and misery produced to individuals as well as the universal sorrow caused throughout the land I cannot but earnestly hope for peace, and at an early date. Do you understand me? I intend to apply for a leave of absence on or about the holidays, & after we have gone into winter quarters, if my application is successful I shall certainly pay you a visit. You spoke of having no one in your family to answer the call “to arms.” Why can you not consider me your representative in the army and centre [sic] on me the interest or portion, which you would have done upon your brother. I should certainly strive to represent you and yours with credit. Shall I become your protege in the army? Write soon, Ever Yours/George. $8,000-10,000

Luther, Martin (1483-1546), Rare and important autograph letter signed, February 6, 1581, one page, in German, discussing upcoming events and mentioning his public debates with Papal legate John Eck, “In Nuremberg they think he is not so much in favor of our Wittenberg views...The persecutors congregate like wolves ready to devour a lamb...,” framed with an 18th century portrait after R. Houston, (dampstaining, edges trimmed).

Translated text: Greetings! I arrived in Nuremberg on St. Franciscus day. I found some excellent men, and some who are rather timid in my cause, so much so, that they even try to persuade me not to go to Augsburg. But I remain firm while mentioning these things. God’s will be done. I shall go and see those grand and marvelous sights. Also in Augsburg, in the very midst of his enemies, Jesus Christ will reign. // Our Eck is not as well spoken of here as I should like. In Nuremberg they think he is not so much in favor of our Wittenberg views, that he should not seem ready to cause ill will against the Wittenberg theologians. I shall be very much displeased with him unless I learn something different. The suspicion is heightened by this book I send you, compiled by some elegant by more than heathenish babbler. You will see, that either he himself, or his adherents operate against us, or at least intend to; but he himself most of all is in the way of his good name.

Tomorrow I shall go to Augsburg with our Mr. Wenceslaus and some other friends, although I have been told that an exceedingly strong will is being prepared for me there. The persecutors congregate like wolves ready to devour a lamb. May Christ live, but Martin and every sinner die, as it is written. May all the sinners and wicked perish from this earth, so that they may be no longer. But the God of my salvation be praised. // Fare you well and hold out, knowing that our work must need be reproved, either by men or by God. God, however, is true, but man is false. Nuremberg. M. Luther. 1518, on St. Franciscus day [October 4].

Lost between the years 1719 and 1960, this remarkably rare letter was acquired by the father of the present owner. It is referenced in the Weimar Briefwechsel, no. 96, reproducing only the first and last paragraphs. The Weimar editors took their material form Christian Eberhard Weissmann’s Introductio in Memorabilia Ecclesiasitca Historiae, Stuttgart, 1719, 134 und 2. There is great conjecture as to the name of the book and it’s author, the “heathenish babbler” referred to in paragraph 2. As Eck was beginning to lose face around this time period, it was originally surmised that Luther was referring to Eck’s Obelisci, but Luther had referred to this work some five months previously. $15,000-25,000

Text in full (redacted areas in brackets): Of anticipation of the last result, but a greater refinement already than is ever attained by man.

There is papyrus by the riverside, and rushes for light, and the goose only flies over head, ages before the studious are born or letters invented, and that literature which, the former suggest, and ever from the first have rudely served, it may be man does not yet use them to express.

There is a sort of humanity in nature which is not identical with man’s, which yet serves him [and serenely smiles on him], but would much more serve & bless the natural man with its sympathy. Material things are to some extent man’s kindred, and subject to the same laws with him. He and they follow one fate. Ever a taper is his relative, and burns not eternally, but only a certain number of his hours. He sleeps, and ever he wakes a taper is extinguished. Those tapers the fixed stars, which are not both lit and burnt out in the life of a man but it may be in the life of the race, which will be found extinguished when woken from his waking sleep, are his more distant relatives.

Yet the farthest and largest star is but a lamp to light the way for man. [Space is but so many of his hairsbreadth wide; the white crescent on his nail is the unit of measure even for starry distances; his middle finger measures how many digits into space; he extends a few times his thumb and finger, and the continent is spanned; he stretches out his arms, and the sea is fathomed.] His hairsbreadth or his nail or his finger or his span or by his outstretched arms are the units of measure...for starry distance. [These things] So much is finite or measured by him & belongs wholly to the same sphere or natural dynasty with himself. He witnesses [their] its birth and [their] its decay.

But what man’s life does not thus embrace, he sees from one side, stationary and eternal, and it thrills him to behold.

I love to recognize my affinity to Nature in all things. $4,000-6,000

Note: Frequently referred to as the most important map in North American cartography, it has featured prominently in many historical events in the 18th and 19th centuries. Published by Andrew Millar just prior to the outbreak of the French and Indian War, it takes a decidedly Anglo-centric view of the Colonies, divvying up the choicest parts of the Americas to Great Britain and shrewdly extending the boundaries west of the Mississippi. John Jay used a copy of the third edition of this map to negotiate the Treaty of Paris in 1783 at the conclusion of the American Revolution and it was used in numerous border disputes in the 19th century. Its use even reached into the 20th century during the 1932 New Jersey-Delaware dispute. $15,000-20,000 618.
