By 1935, the 69-year-old Potter had all but given up her writing career, focusing on her farming and sheep breeding above all else. Despite her weakening eyes and a tremble in her hand, she cheerfully embarked on a new project called The Peter Rabbit Music Books, when the recipient of the card being offered here, the young composer Christopher Le Fleming, approached her with a set of piano pieces he had written that had been inspired by her stories and that were suitable for children. The collaboration between Potter and Le Fleming produced two books, Book I and Book II of the Peter Rabbit Music Books; Potter wrote the forwards and supplied the illustrations for both of these books.

Reckless Ralph's Twenty-Five Cent Novel Library was an early dime novel fanzine self-published by Ralph F. Cummings. It was devoted to the collecting and preservation of the old-time dime and nickel novels, libraries and popular story papers and all the wonderful American literature contained within them. The feature article in the issue offered here is \"Prison Delivery\" by Emmett Dalton. Dalton, in addition to being an author, was an outlaw, train robber and member of the infamous Dalton gang in the American Old West. The Dalton gang was implicated in a series of train robberies that began in 1889. In 1892, the M-K-T Railroad posted a $40,000 reward for the capture of the Daltons whose notoriety had increased substantially in just three short years. On October 5, 1892, short on money and long on wanting to out do the James gang's record, the Daltons robbed two banks in Coffeyville, Kansas in one day. While successful in both robberies, the Daltons were not successful in steering clear of an angry mob of local citizens that ambushed them, killing four of the five gang members and leaving the fifth, Emmett Dalton, with 23 gunshot wounds and an eventual life sentence in the penitentiary in Lansing, Kansas. After serving 14 years of his life sentence, Dalton was pardoned by the Kansas governor. After his release from prison, Dalton moved to California where he got married to Julia Johnson, wrote two books, played himself in the Hollywood movie version of his first book, \"Beyond the Law,\" consulted on other movie projects and sold real estate.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe first article in the magazine, \"Prison Delivery\" by Emmett Dalton, is a critique of America's prison policies and prison systems. In it he offers suggestions based on his own personal experiences and observations he made during his 14 years behind bars, as to how to improve the lot of the over four hundred thousand \"prison deliveries\" (Dalton's term for the men, women and juveniles released from confinement) made every year into the neighborhoods and homes next door to the law abiding masses. Dalton believed that the implementation of his ideas and observations would improve the lives of the people coming out of prison systems every year, and by extension, the lives of all the people who would be coming into contact with them.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe second article in the magazine, \"Two Remarkable Heroes: The Deadwood Dicks, Senor and Junior, Are the Gentlemen\" was written by the magazine's publisher, Ralph F. Cummings. In this article, Cummings argues that a trace of literature from the beginning of time to his present day would \"show but few heroes that in the eyes of boyhood would be even judged worthy of comparison with the two greatest heroes known to American literature . . . Deadwood Dick and Deadwood Dick, Jr.\" I would personally go out on a limb and say that Ralph F. Cummings really, really liked the two Deadwood Dicks! The condition of the magazine is NEAR FINE.

Although my front finger is still encase in its wrapping \u0026amp; paining me, I will write you this morning. In my awkwardness in using my left hand, I have given my left thumb a terrible bruise by the door, that too is duly wrapped up so with this chapter of accidents you will suppose I am not very well prepared to write to my friends. The Dr. comes in an hour's time \u0026amp; I suppose he will make it all right. Now that mythical maid which both you and I would so like to make a substantial reality would so gracefully come in with her useful offices - but alas, I have fallen upon 'evil times' \u0026amp; I must not venture to anticipate. The little notice you so kindly enclosed me, is I believe, only the note of preparation for the coming struggle. To his friends, Col. Forney is always a true hearted champion. I have always liked him because my dear husband entertained so high an opinion of him. Will you not write to Cameron, Gen. Banks? Sen. Wilson is a very noble man \u0026amp; I hope you will write to him. How much work I am giving you to do, dear friend, and yet your own kind, true heart, requires no suggestions from me. . . .[D]o not forget your promise of soon returning to Germany. How I sigh for that time, when we can cosily chat for hours together. My place is near Dr. Browns, on the same street, near the railroad also - that I hope will soon bring you back - with the latter disadvantage, however I do not hear the least noise - as my modest apartments open out on a large garden - well shaded by trees. The leaves of the trees, sear \u0026amp; drooping like my own sad heart \u0026amp; blighted hopes - Have you yet placed Sallie in school? I hope Susie has been strengthened by the cool weather. Taddie is so grateful to be so kindly remembered by you all \u0026amp; sends his most respectful regards. Gen. Sickles is also passing through a stormy time, which I hope he may weather is safety. How grateful both himself \u0026amp; dear little Laura must be, to you, for your kind attentions to them. They will be of inestimable value to Laura in the future, now that she is just now growing up. Genl. is naturally kind \u0026amp; grateful. As your distinguished friends to whom we are now so graciously inditing our epistles - will so soon be in Wash - will it not be best to direct to them there\"?

Sally Orne, a friend of Mary Todd Lincoln from her Washington days, met with Mrs. Lincoln in Frankfurt, where Sally - feeling empathetic towards Mrs. Lincoln's financial struggles - offered to help with the pension bill before Congress. Mrs. Orne advocated for an increase to Mary's pension, communicating this need to those in power in Washington. The \"coming struggle\" referenced in the letter, largely refers to the impending pension bill. It took nine more months, but the bill was ultimately passed - on a strict party-line vote - on July 14, 1870. # 000964","brand":"Wallace \u0026 Clark, Booksellers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43492939169941,"sku":"000964","price":12000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0459\/2589\/2245\/files\/mtlincoln18691028.01.20200906.jpg?v=1686950883"},{"product_id":"americas-national-game-historic-facts-concerning-the-beginning-evolution-development-and-popularity-of-base-ball-with-personal-reminiscences-of","title":"America's National Game: Historic Facts Concerning the Beginning, Evolution, Development and Popularity of Base Ball With Personal Reminiscences ...","description":"(Baseball) AMERICA'S NATIONAL GAME: HISTORIC FACTS CONCERNING THE BEGINNING, EVOLUTION, DEVELOPMENT AND POPULARITY OF BASE BALL WITH PERSONAL REMINISCENCES OF ITS VICISSITUDES, ITS VICTORIES AND ITS VOTARIES by Albert G.

The single sheet remains structurally secure and intact, exhibiting a single, routine horizontal crease along the center from when folded for mailing, and minor, typical signs of handling commensurate with a native 1920s postal survival. The paper matrix presents an exceptionally sharp, well-preserved survival, remaining exceptionally clean, bright, and stable with no prominent foxing, fading, or silverfish damage. The ink signature remains extraordinarily crisp, dark, and perfectly preserved under the UV-protected archival encapsulation. Internally, the text and ink work are well-preserved, with minor defects restricted to isolated instances of light, routine age-toning typical of a century-old paper document.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"16\"\u003eA Harmonious Intersection of Three Psychoanalytic Pioneers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"17\"\u003eThis exceptional, museum-grade manuscript captures a rare, deeply affectionate moment from the golden era of psychoanalysis, connecting three of the movement's absolute pioneers at a unique historical juncture when all were still working in complete harmony. Written on February 8, 1927, the letter is addressed to Mira Oberholzer-Gincburg (1884–1949), a trailblazer who stood as one of the world's first female psychoanalysts and a pioneer in child psychology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"18\"\u003eThe central focus of the correspondence is Freud’s remarkably high regard, compassion, and protective warmth for his brilliant young acolyte, Wilhelm Reich (1897–1957). Long before their relationship would fracture under the weight of irreconcilable theoretical and radical political differences, Freud viewed the thirty-year-old Reich as a rising star, introducing him here as \u003ci data-index-in-node=\"378\" data-path-to-node=\"18\"\u003e\"one of the most capable, zealous, and ambitious analysts in Vienna.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"19\"\u003eAs noted in the accompanying 1984 authentication letter by Dr. Kurt R. Eissler—the preeminent keeper of the Freud Collection at the Library of Congress—this correspondence is a masterwork of personality, illustrating a side of the father of psychoanalysis that rarely makes it into textbooks. It showcases Prof. Freud's distinct sense of humor (dryly joking that his own Analytical Fund contains \u003ci data-index-in-node=\"396\" data-path-to-node=\"19\"\u003e\"exactly 0.0 francs, marks, or shillings\"\u003c\/i\u003e) and his deep, paternal compassion for his younger pupils. Rather than a dry clinical document, this letter stands as a vibrant, primary testament to the human bonds, mutual respect, and early camaraderie that built the foundation of modern psychological history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"20\"\u003eComplete English Translation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"21\"\u003eThe letter reads, in full:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote data-path-to-node=\"22\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"22,0\"\u003eDear Doctor!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"22,1\"\u003eIt will come as no surprise to you that one turns to you when one is in need of your assistance. The matter at hand today is as follows: Dr. Wilhelm Reich, I do not know whether you have met him personally, he's one of the most capable, zealous, and ambitious analysts in Vienna; he is of a somewhat impetuous temperament, an excellent worker, and thirty years of age. He has recently developed a highly suspicious lesion at the apex of his lung, in consequence of which he is currently residing in Davos-Platz, at the Pension Sonnenhalde. His financial circumstances are no better than those of other Viennese; it is unclear how he will manage to defray the costs of an extended stay up there. The Analytical Fund, which would certainly recognize a duty to assist him, currently possesses assets amounting to exactly 0.0 francs, marks, or shillings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"22,2\"\u003eThe young man is positively eager to work, and some professional occupation would be of great psychological benefit to him as well. I therefore ask you, should you find yourself in a position to refer a neurotic patient to Davos who is to begin or continue analytical treatment there, or should you happen to have patients in Davos whom you know personally, not to forget Dr. Reich. In doing so, you would be performing a good deed, not only for the physician but, in all likelihood, for the patient as well. Dr. Reich would also be eminently suitable for conducting training analyses, should an opportunity to do so arise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"22,3\"\u003eI feel a distinct sense of relief now that I have written this letter to you, for it strikes me as the very best thing I can do on his behalf.

Following the bitter collapse of her marriage to Ted Hughes, Plath closed her Devon home, Court Green, on December 9, 1962, and relocated with her young children to the London flat once occupied by W. B. Yeats. This card, addressed to Alan and Nancy Jenkins—the parents of her trusted children's nurse, Sue O'Neill-Row—serves as a heartbreaking artifact of self-soothing and domestic reimagining. Plath explicitly credits \"blessed Sue\" for securing the flat and paints a vibrant portrait of maternal peace, describing her children peering out at pony carts and her frantic energy spent readying her new home. In reality, this domestic veneer cloaked a profound psychological struggle, as Plath contended with severe isolation, historic winter conditions, and the clinical depression that would lead to her suicide on February 11, 1963.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEphemeral Preservation, Census, and Market Scarcity of Late Plath Holographs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAutograph material from the final months of Sylvia Plath's life is exceptionally scarce in commerce, with the vast majority of her late correspondence permanently institutionalized within major repositories such as the Smith College Special Collections and the Lilly Library at Indiana University.
