1 Alcott, Louisa May (1832-1888) Autograph Letter Signed, Undated.

Single bifolium inscribed on four pages. To Mrs. Anne Rebecca Adams (1809-1882) sending autographs (not present), asking after her husband, Alvin Hoar Adams’s (1804-1877) health, and thanking her for the gift of strawberries and a portfolio; with the holograph envelope, 7 x 4 1/2 in.

Adams was a merchant in Watertown who pioneered express deliveries by railroad in 1840, likely the source of the presumably out of season strawberries mentioned in Alcott’s letter.

“Dear Mrs. Adams, I send you the autographs I promised, but they are not as nice as I hoped.

The best ones have been given away I find. These however are genuine, & if they are of any use to you I shall be very glad.

When Mr. Adams goes he can get you any you want, you know.

If he has not already gone give him my respects & tell him I hope the new water will do him so much good he will stand right off & pass the summer at Belle’s country house in Egypt.

I am much better, & mother thinks Watertown a most healthful place. So do I & Dr. Bonnett.

I have been afraid to try my lovely portfolio yet, but hope a spring-like day or two will put a thought into my head poetical enough to be written on my green and silver book, & good enough to be sent to you. Father & mother thought the portfolio perfection.

Miss Hoar was charmed with her strawberries, & they were the town talk for several days. It must be so pleasant to have one’s name always associated with fruit-, & flowers, kind thoughts & friendly deeds, as yours is, dear Mrs. Adams.

With much love L.M. Alcott” $1,500-2,500 2 American Signed Documents, Mostly 17th and 18th Century, Massachusetts Governors.

(4) $800-1,000

13 Chagall, Marc (1887-1985) Large Archive of Letters, 1964-1971.

Extensive collection of correspondence concerning the work Chagall created for the Metropolitan Opera in New York, including the two murals in the grand foyer and set decorations and costumes for The Magic Flute; including: five signed contracts a propos to the work; Chagall’s official membership book from the Brotherhood of Painters, Decorators & Paperhangers of America, signed, with four membership cards and a withdrawal card; thirty-four typed letters signed and written in French concerning the Magic Flute sets and costumes, the murals, and some brief personal notes, almost all addressed to Rudolph Bing and Herman Krawitz; one autograph letter signed; twentyfive autograph notes and letters signed and written in Russian to Vladimir Odinokov on the same topic, most with their envelopes; and approximately ten short notes, postcards, and holiday cards, mostly signed, including three postcards of the Met murals with stamps of Chagall’s stained glass window, all signed.

This archive sheds light on the activities and state of mind of the artist as he prepares for, executes, and eventually helps mount to display of the large-scale murals that grace the grand lobby of the Metropolitan Opera in New York. The letters also concern the design of set decorations and costumes for the Magic Flute, as Chagall was working closely with Vladimir Odinokov, who created the material used on stage following Chagall’s models, sketches, notes, and letters. Details about Chagall’s choice of studio, his need of the proper canvas and helpers, his anxiety about the scale of the project, and the pace of work are all duly recorded in this archive of correspondence. On March 5th, 1966, he writes, “Pour l’Opera de Paris, j’ai dû m’adapter à ce qui existait déjà, et je crois qu’au “MET,” il va falloir au contraire adapter l’endroit à mes murailles.” For the Paris Opera House, I had to adapt to what already existed, and I think that at the MET, on the contrary, it will be necessary to adapt the setting to my murals.

Keenly aware of the importance of the general atmosphere and decoration of the opera house, Chagall discusses carpet samples, the placement of the Maillol bronzes, the removal of a mirror over the bar that bothered him, and other considerations. An exhaustive source that paints a full picture of circumstances surrounding the creation of these important works, it also sheds a personal light on the artist’s process, and the complicated logistics of mounting such a project. $80,000-120,000

I’ve no idea whether or not he is in any position to pay it but if you ever felt like constituting yourself a private collection agency it would certainly be worth $100. to me to see some of it. You can tell him the truth— that I’ve been quite sick again, that I’m in debt and need it. Of course, he is quite possibly broke.

The storage company have not sent me any amended bill. As I told you my idea is that their right hand doesn’t know what their left hand is doing.

With best wishes to you both.

45 Lee Robert E. (1807-1870) Letter Signed, West Point, 30 December 1853.

Single laid paper leaf, inscribed on one and a quarter pages. To General George H. Devereux concerning his son’s misconduct at West Point. Old folds, a few faint rust spots, 9 3/4 x 7 3/4 in.

The misbehaving son in question, whom Lee states was absent from his quarters, had spirits in his possession, and failed to halt when ordered, was fifteen-year-old Arthur Devereux (18381906) who, after dropping out of West Point, went on to have a distinguished military career. With a keen interest in Zouave, the French precision drill style, he rose to Captain of the Salem Light Infantry in 1859. On the Union side during the Civil War, Devereux fought against Robert E. Lee’s forces with the 19th Massachusetts at the Battle of Gettysburg; plugging the hole made by the Confederate soldiers at Pickett’s Charge. He was eventually made honorary brevet brigadier general, U.S. Volunteers, by President Andrew Jackson for gallant services during the war. $1,000-1,500 46 Lewis, Clive Staples (1898-1963) Autograph Letter Signed, 18 April 1950.

Old folds, ink slightly lighter near the closing, where Lewis’s pen was running low, framed, not viewed out of frame, 8 3/4 x 7 in.

“Dear Ms. McEwan, I have not heard about any uniform edition of C.W.’s complete works.

Faber is republishing the novels, I’m told, but whether uniform or not I don’t know. The novels are also being republished in U.S.A. but in the present state of the [pound] I expect that edition wd. be fabulously expensive for us. There is no talk of any new edition of The Region. In fact, the prospect is bleak!

Logres is two syllables with the accent on the first and roughly rhymes with ogress. Charles himself (and most people, tho’ not all) pronounced Broceliande as four syllables with the accent on the second-Bross-elly-and.

The English pronunciation of Logres (as offered to either the French or Welsh) is from J. Milton’s line in P. Regained By knights of Logres or of Lyonesse.

Yours sincerely, C.S. Lewis” $2,600-3,000

This brief letter shows a direct connection between Mayo and Melville that has hitherto eluded scholars.

Mayo was a literary success in his own lifetime, and Melville struggled, although the novel remembered today is Moby Dick, not Kaloolah. $2,000-3,000 53 Monroe, James (1758-1831) Signed Land Deed, 11 June 1821.

61 Roberts III, John (1724-1778) Manuscript Memorandum and Account Books.

Small folio account book begun by Roberts in 1768 detailing numerous transactions related to his many business enterprises, including a grist mill, a paper mill, a working farm, and other rural occupations; including medical receipts, notes on the weather and the deaths of friends and associates, and accounts concerning day laborers; including related documents, notably a singlesignature sixteen-page booklet titled “Memorandum,” that includes the record of transactions related to the activities of the Continental Army in Lower Merion, Pennsylvania, between June 1777 and the fall of 1778 and John Roberts; these transactions never mention the exchange of money, the verb most used is “took”; notable examples include an inventory from 14 June 1777 of the following things taken from John Roberts: six good wagon horses, six years old last spring, six hackney horses, two large red oxen branded on the horn IR, eleven cows mostly young branded IR, on large bull branded, one small bull, two small steers, one small heifer, two yearling heifers without horns, two spotted large oxen, sixty sheep and lambs, sixteen hogs, and three pigs.

In most of the entries, the members of the Continental Army who received Roberts’s goods are identified by name; all entries are dated, names include General Potter, General MacDougall’s Division, Colonel Procter, Green’s Division, Varnum’s Brigade, General Wayne’s division, Glover’s Brigade, the North Carolina Brigade; other entries note providing meals to parties of soldiers, and other supplies to parties at the “Gulph.”

[Together with] a copy of the Pennsylvania Docket, November 7, 1778, with details about the case of treason against John Roberts, and a small archive of documents, receipts, and other material related to Roberts, mostly period, with the addition of later material on the same topic.

John Roberts was a Welsh Quaker whose grandfather emigrated to Pennsylvania in the 17th century.

Roberts was his father’s only son and inherited property and buildings of industry as a young man. Capitalizing on his good fortune, Roberts continued to develop and expand his various mercantile interests in Lower Merion.

Controversy found him during the American Revolution. Quakers were particularly vulnerable to the dis-ease about side-taking during this divisive conflict and as an avowed pacifist, Roberts was not alone in attracting the suspicions of his neighbors.

Removing to Philadelphia during the British occupation, Roberts was eventually accused of treason by a number of his neighbors, tried, and executed by the newly installed provisional continental judiciary.

Since that time, protestations of his innocence, indictments of the rush to judgment, and suggestions that his neighbors’ desire to take his property hastened his fate have all cast his execution in a questionable light. This archive of original material related to Roberts before and during the critical period of his suspected traitorous activities imparts detailed and pertinent facts, if not a definitive answer to his guilt or innocence. $6,000-8,000

[with] A carte-de-visite of Sherman.

“I cannot overcome a deep natural repugnance to write of myself. I cannot believe the public feels any interest in one who has struggled for obscurity from the beginning of this horrid unnatural but necessary war.

I still desire to remain in obscurity as far as the public is concerned, simply doing my duty plainly and zealously as a Division Commander. Success is the only criterion in war and so vast is the country and so inveterate our enemy that failure may overtake the most careful and vigilant commander.

After which a Biographical sketch would be wasted words. So on every ground I prefer to remain unknown until this war cloud begins to dissipate and light once more shine on the Land whose precious freedom was but a few months since the admiration of the whole civilized world. When that day comes if I can be instrumental in bringing it about I will consider myself worthy a Page in the Cyclopedia, otherwise I prefer to remain known simply by my circle of personal friends.” $700-900

On the next line are views of the jail in Alexandria, the jail in Washington with the “sale of a free citizen to pay his jail fees,” and an interior of the Washington jail with imprisoned slave mother Fanny Jackson and her children. On the bottom level are an illustration of slaves in chains emerging from the slave house of J.W. Neal & Co.

A slang and figurative expression, borrowed from the act of choking a dog to make him loose his hold,” and “Scoot. In parts of New England, to move or run away swiftly. To slide or glide; to dart. No idea of running away, and by no means limited to persons.” Clapin includes French Canadian, and Southern terms, and those used in African American communities.

(2) Denton collected more than 50,000 specimens for the printing of this edition, and prepared the plates himself. “Insects, such as butterflies and moths, have minute, colored or iridescent scales on their wings that make up the distinctive patterns used for identification. In the late-1700’s French entomologists developed several methods for making direct transfers of these delicate scale patterns that could be used to illustrate scientific identification guides. The wings of a dead specimen are spread out flat and carefully dried. The piece of paper to be printed is coated with a thin layer of gum-arabic. A specimen is placed on the paper and pressed gently into place. When well attached the body is cut away. A second sheet of adhesive paper is placed on top and pressure is applied. When the wings are removed the scales adhere to the paper and the precise color patterns of the upper and lower surfaces of the wings remain. The body is either painted in or engraved and hand colored.” from the Nature Printing Society www.natureprintingsociety.org $600-800 141 Dézallier d’Argenville, AntoineJoseph (1680-1765) The Theory and Practice of Gardening.

175 Leclerc, Sebastien (1637-1714) Album of Engravings.

Large folio album of engravings done after Leclerc’s original paintings and drawings and some engraved by Leclerc directly, and signed in the plate, consisting of fifty-three leaves with approximately 472 separate engravings, ranging in size from very large full-page folio, to some the size of postage stamps, and everything in between, including images of many subjects fulfilling many categories of illustration, including title pages, frontispieces, bookplates, armorial crests and medals, illustrations for Aesop’s Fables, the life of Christ, and other works, engraved initials and decorative pieces, portraits, architectural interiors and exteriors, landscapes, and many others, including some that may be proof or unfinished prints; some engravings cut out of the album, bound in contemporary leather, worn, front board detached, corners quite worn, 21 1/2 x 16 in.

The only uniting theme of this group of engravings is Leclerc, and it seems unlikely that anyone other than the artist would have access to so much of his work. Although that it is possible that these illustrations were collected by one of his contemporaries who was a great admirer of his work, it may also be that Leclerc himself assembled this album as a portfolio of samples to show his artistic range. $600-800 176 Lecomte, Valentine (b. 1872) The Dance of Isadora Duncan, Signed Copy Presented by the Publisher.

First and only edition, one of thirty numbered signed copies; thirteen separate portfolios housed in publisher’s cloth folder and slipcase as such: title, poem by Augusto de Campos, ten folding Objetos each signed in pencil by Julio Plaza and numbered VI, colophon; fading to slipcase and spine of cloth folder, some offsetting and a minor tear or two to the pop-ups, 15 3/4 x 11 1/2 in.

“The paths of the two [Plaza and Campos] crossed in 1968, not by coincidence but by the magnetic force of ‘elective affinity.’ Plaza was preparing his Objetos. Two superimposed sheets of paper, creating a deliberate interplay of cross-sections and folds, projected three-dimensional forms which were at once geometric and organic. A series of these, printed by a silk-screen process, and combining the three primary colors, made up a book comprising page-objects which leaped out of the flat surface to open up into space. Plaza asked de Campos to write a critical introduction to this strange book. De Campos gave the only foreseeable reply: instead of a text, he wanted to make a journey inside the creation itself. For him, words are also plastic, sensitive bodies. The support Plaza offered him (planes, space, sculpture, color, shades, movement, and light) permitted the insertion of word bodies into the play of pure and multiple qualities. The first Poemobile was thus born and included in Objetos, the book by Plaza, published in 1969.” from The Semiotic Web, edited by Thomas Sebeok. $2,000-3,000

237 Trotter, William (1769-1822) Seven Manuscript Ship’s Logs, 1787-1800 Seven small-folio volumes completed by hand detailing Trotter’s voyages to Britain, Cadiz, Madeira, St. Jago, Rio de Janeiro, Rio de la Plata, around the Cape of Good Hope to Mauritius, and Jakarta, Australia, Tonga, Canton, Hong Kong, around Cape Horn to Christmas Island, Hawaii, and Vancouver.

Volume I: original half leather with marbled paper boards, in need of resewing and paper repairs to first few leaves, front board detached, binding elements work. This volume is signed and dated by Trotter inside the front board, Workington, Cumberland, England 27 October 1787; the first section (13 leaves) consists of lessons on the calendar, geometry, plane sailing, traverse sailing, and middle latitude sailing; after 5 blank leaves, the next section contains accounts of numerous journeys to Balboa, Cape Verdean islands, Boston, China, Macao, and the North Pacific, aboard the ships Betsy, Mercury, Massachusetts, Snow Eleanora, Ameilia; an interesting note dated 19 August 1789 reads as follows, “Bonavista Cape Deverds came three schooners under Dutch colours to the north side of this island where the wreck of the Hartwell Indiman lay in order to partake of part of the money that lay underwater, but the wind blowing fresh from the NE the surf breaking over the reef so much that they cannot dive”; the next entry describes the return journey from Bonavista Island back to Boston aboard the Mercury; the log entries are very detailed, and include maps, sketches of landscape features, large pencil sketches of ships, and other occasional drawings; approximately 165 inscribed pages, covering journeys from 1789 to 1793, 12 1/2 x 8 in.

Volume II: pre-printed ship’s log with engraved templates for each day, fulfilled by hand throughout, bound in full reversed sheep, with the ticket of London stationer Frederick Gardner pasted inside the front board, Trotter’s signature in pencil inside gutter of ffep, beginning with a voyage from Canton toward Providence, 27 November 1794, aboard the Halcyon, followed by journeys of the Susan, to Botany Bay, Hawaii, Tonga, and the Northwest coast of North America; in addition to the ship’s log information about the headings, weather, and generally running of the ship, Trotter also includes lengthy narratives of interactions with natives, including details about trading and other onshore activities of the crew, approximately 240 pages, covering journeys from 1794 to 1796, 14 3/4 x 9 1/2 in.

Volume III: manuscript ledger ruled by hand in red, bound in half leather with paper-covered boards, cloth ties, sewing structure failing, in need of paper restoration; this volume continues the Pacific Northwest voyage of the Susan from the previous volume, now returning from thence to Hawaii, entries begin in August of 1797; the next trip is to China in 1798; approximately 200 pages, approximately 25% blank, the first section with ship’s log information and narratives; the final 18 pages with navigational calculations, 13 x 7 3/4 in.

Volume IV: the largest of the volumes, pre-printed with engraved entry pages specially designed for ship’s logs; begins with a description of how to enter the Rio de la Plata with a finely drawn map, and a lengthy and detailed twelve-page description of Buenos Aires made by Trotter in September of 1799, followed by approximately 100 pages of log pages, dated from June 1799 to November 1800, detailing a journey from Santiago, Cape Verde, to Rio de Janeiro, up the River Plata, to Buenos Aires, Providence, and then to Madeira; no entries have been made in the second half of the book; first few signatures detached, 14 3/4 x 9 1/4 in.

Volumes V-VII: these volumes consist of account, day books, and transcriptions of correspondence; because Trotter’s journeys were missions of trade, these books contain detailed information about the quantity, disposition, and value of traded goods; one volume is bound in contemporary half leather with paper boards, worn; the other two are full parchment, all small folio, with dates from the 1790s to about 1800. (7) William Trotter had a long career of adventure in exotic locales across the globe at the end of the 18th century.

His drawings, maps, and narratives show that he was an intelligent and observant traveler. Because of the manuscript nature of this material, and its sheer volume, minute valuable information undoubtedly sits undiscovered in his journals. Trotter was born in England and emigrated to Providence, Rhode Island, at the age of nineteen, having first been apprenticed as a cabin boy at the age of nine. After a lucrative career at sea, Trotter retired and purchased a home in Attleboro, Massachusetts, later settling in Bradford, Vermont. $12,000-15,000
