GERSHWIN, George (1898-1937). Typed letter signed ("George Gershwin"), to "Watty," Beverly Hills, 29 May 1937. 1 page, 4to, on headed stationery ("1019 North Roxbury Drive -- Beverly Hills, California"), cut horizontally across the page in two places, backed, not affecting text. A familiar and lively letter recounting George and Ira Gershwin's Hollywood work projects. Gershwin enthusiastically relates how they "are very happy the way the music from 'Shall We Dance' is being played all around," and hope that it will hit the top ten of the Hit Parade for a couple of weeks, "as Hollywood takes that barometer more or less seriously." Otherwise they have just finished the second Astaire film A Damsel in Distress and are now working hard on the new Goldwyn Follies , "which, thank goodness, is the last picture we will do for a little while." He hopes to get together when they are back in New York. Gershwin composed the music for several Hollywood films, using the witty and inventive lyrics of his older brother Ira. -- GERSHWIN. Typed letter signed ("George") to A. and R. Garbat, New York, 5 August 1935. 1 page, 4to, on headed stationery of Gershwin's private residence. Gershwin writes to his friends in Maine: "When a man, who is working in New York City during the summer, writes a note to folks spending the summer in Maine saying, 'having a fine time, wish you were here' -- that's news." Clearly wishing he was not in New York during the hottest season of the year, the composer says that he is "working very hard on the orchestration of my opera [ Porgy and Bess (1935)]." -- GERSHWIN. Typed document signed ("George Gershwin"), n.p., 1 May 1930. 1 page, 4to.

| [AMERICAN REVOLUTION]. WHEELOCK, Eleazar (1711-1779). Founder and Pre… | [AMERICAN REVOLUTION]. WHEELOCK, Eleazar (1711-1779). Founder and President of Dartmouth College . Autograph letter signed ("Eleazar Wheelock") to Colonel John Hurd and the Militia at Haverhill, Dartmouth College, 5 May 1775. 4 full pages, 4to . REVOLUTIONARY THEORY FROM DARTMOUTH'S FOUNDER. Eleazar Wheelock, Indian missionary and founder of Dartmouth College, thoughtfully ponders, at great length, moral issues raised by "unconstitutional" acts of the British King. Wheelock writes in response to "the important & interesting question...what is lawful, duty, & expedient for small parties of his Majesty's subjects to do with respect to the Commissions they have regularly & constitutionally received and do hold under his Majesty while his Majesty is Himself unconstitutionally enacting and with great severities inforcing laws which are cruel, oppressive and unrighteous and declaring his dutiful subjects Rebels, and treating them with all that savage cruelty that is due to such as rebel against wholesome Laws enjoyed by his rightful Authority." Wheelock provides a 7-point analysis based upon political theory, the legitimate rights of monarchy and the nature of commissions, concluding "commissions lawfully given and for good purposes may not be contemptuously thrown away, or neglected, because the King is doing that which is very bad." Wheelock lists 11 detailed consequences which would result from the wanton abandonment of commissions including its impact upon the social order: "Tis to throw themselves into a doleful state of Anarchy, and thereby expose their lives, liberties, and properties, to be invaded by any, and to have no way of redress lent by the strength of their own arms. If the foundation be removed, what shall the righteous do." He concludes his letter by expressing security in the safety of the college; "I have not the least fear of...Indians to distress us at present." However, Wheelock warns that the possible appointment of Hazen to command might create animosity: "I understand they hate Capt. Hazen: they know him & remember what he did in the last war." -- WHEELOCK, Eleazer. Autograph letter signed ("Eleazar Wheelock") to General Schuyler, Dartmouth College, 13 March 1777. 1 page, 4to, integral address leaf . Wheelock thanks Schuyler for the kind offer to his son of a position "in the Army of the united states." He now writes to accept the offer as his son seems "inclin'd to it" even though "it be not the Business which I should have preferred for him above all other." Wheelock asks Schuyler to look favorably upon his son but warns the General, "He is a son I let much by, but is young, and has had little opportunity of Acquaintance with Mankind." -- CURTISS, Israel. Autograph letter signed to Eleazar Wheelock, "Camp Lake Champlaine," 28 September 1775. 1page, 4to . Curtiss writes to Wheelock from the army in the early stages of the Revolution: "my company behave all with Soberness Except Tho s Divine of which I am sorry to Inform as at Eight oclock this morning he Rec d the Martiall [ sic ] punishment of twenty stripes for steeling [ sic ] a silver watch." He also notes that "Evening prayer here been constantly attended." Together three items. (3) | $1,500–$2,000 | |

Autograph letter signed ("Andrew Johnson") as Governor of Tennessee, to Robert Mc[C]lelland, Greenville, Tenn., 10 August 1853. 1 page, 4to, blue paper, integral blank, spotting and minor staining. A fine recommendation sent by Andrew Johnson, Governor of Tennessee, to Secretary of the Interior Robert McClelland. Johnson writes, "Mr. Graham is a gentleman of character and high standing in the community; a uniform and consistent Democrat ... I know Mr. Graham personally... and recommend him as a suitable individual to fill the appointment referred to in the Hon. S.P. Maldo's letter of June 30th 1853." -- HAYES, Rutherford B. (1822-1893). President . Autograph letter signed ("R.B. Hayes") as President, to Mrs. Sarah Hale, Washington, 26 May 1877. 1 page, 8vo, Executive Mansion stationery. Hayes thanks Mrs. Hale, on behalf of his wife, for sending a copy of her book Distinguished Women : "she will prize the book for itself...and especially as the gift of a lady as distinguished and who has accomplished so much." -- HAMLIN, Hannibal (1809-1891). Vice President . Two autograph letters signed ("H. Hamlin") as Vice President, to Solomon Foot, Hampden and Bangor, [ME], 16 October 1861 and 7 November 1862. Together 2 pages, 8vo. Hamlin requests, on two separate occasions, that Senator Foote cover for him as he would arrive after the opening of the Senate session, explaining in one case: "so I may delay a week or ten days, in case I shall desire to do so." -- WEBSTER, Daniel (1782-1852). Autograph letter signed ("D. Webster") to an unknown recipient, Washington, 7 May [1837]. 4 pages, 4to. An interesting letter in which Webster expresses concern over "These secular difficulties, brought on by these times." Likely referring to the Panic of 1837 and its impact, Webster notes that "I feel half the time mad, & half the time sad" as he has "invested very liberally, in the western world, mostly in excellent Govt. Lands at 1.25 per acre." Acknowledging his substantial debt, he notes that the people that he relies upon for cash have none available. He states that he has invested in land in New Hampshire, Ohio, Illinois and Wisconsin as well as a house in Boston giving him over $100,000 in real estate, as well as stock. He broods that if nothing can be done to "furnish the necessary relief" he may have to return to Boston "& look up my lawyer's green bag." -- CLAY, Henry (1777-1852). Autograph letter signed ("H. Clay") to Colonel S. Lisle Smith, Ashland, 14 June 1843. 1 page, 4to . CLAY ON CAMPAIGNING FOR OFFICE. Clay discusses politics and the Whig Party one year before it nominated him as candidate for President of the United States. Obviously replying to a request concerning political campaigning, Clay writes: "In reference to political objects, I do not think it right to make any tour; and if it were right, it would be difficult to determine where to begin and where to end. Taking this view of the matter, I have foreborne to leave my own residence but in the pursuit of business or health." Not acknowledging the possibility of a nomination that he surely desired, Clay closes optimistically: "I congratulate you on the bright prospects of the Whig cause. Taking into view its goodness...and all the causes now in operation, the victory of 1844 will eclipse that of 1840." Together six items . (6) | $2,500–$3,500 | |

Thomas") to an unknown general, San Francisco, 5 January 1870. 2¼ pages, 8vo, 2 3/8 inch square area on first page lightly browned. DEFENDING PORTER'S ACTIONS AT SECOND BULL RUN. Thomas defends General Fitz-John Porter (1822-1901), who was stripped of his command in January 1863 after accusations by General Pope that he showed cowardice in the face of the enemy at the Second Battle of Manassas. Thomas notes that he has no specific interest in Porter's appeal of the case, but that Porter had written him: "I replied...that I did not, nor did I believe that any one who had known him believed he was guilty of having wilfuly [ sic ] neglected his duty on this occasion of the battle of Groveton. I have always believed that he was mistaken in his judgement as to the position of the enemy, but never having read the testimony...on his trial I have never undertaken to critisize [ sic ] the finding of the court. As to the expressions of General Franklin's letter to General Grant I will state here that he never had any grounds for such expression." Porter had refused to obey Pope's command to attack on the first day of the Second Battle of Manassas because of his claim that there were Confederate troops approaching the flank, a fact that was later substantiated. Porter was reinstated in 1886 after his successful appeals. -- SHERIDAN, Philip (1831-1888). Lieutenant General . Autograph letter signed ("P.H.Sheridan") to "Hill," Chicago, 24 March 1876. 3 pages, 8vo . SHERIDAN'S HORSE FROM HIS RIDE AT CEDAR CREEK. Sheridan responds to a question regarding the horse he rode at Cedar Creek: "The Black Horse I rode at the Battle of Cedar Creek is still living & in my posession [ sic ] in this city. He looks almost as well now as when you saw him in Virginia. I will be at the Centennial & will hope to have the pleasure of meeting you & old army comrades." After an early morning attack at Cedar Creek by Confederate forces on October 19, 1864, the Union Army was driven back in a rout until Sheridan rallied his men from horseback and led them to victory. -- SMITH, William F. (1824-1903). Major General . PROMOTING GRANT AND CONFEDERATE GENERAL JOSEPH JOHNSTON. Autograph letter signed ("Wm F Smith") to John Ropes, Philadelphia, 11 March 1891. 4 pages, 8vo. Smith, a controversial general who was twice removed from active field command, writes about his book From Chickamauga to Chattanooga : "I am convinced that I am writing a paper which might be acceptable to military students of a half century in advance but will not at all comport with present ideas of the public or of 99/100 of participants in the war." Intending to show "the value of Grant as a general" Smith also praises Confederate General Joseph Johnston: "nothing but my admiration of him as a general and my feeling that his great qualities were unknown partly by his never failing bad luck and partly by the hardship which Mr. Davis put upon him and the insubordination which that brought about in certain of his subordinates who knew themselves strong in the favor of Davis." He concludes, "I have gone as far as the battle of Iuka which reflects no credit upon any one but the American soldier ." Together three items . (3) | $1,800–$2,500 | |
