John Adams As Commissioner To the Court of France Writes To Arthur Lee, His Fellow Commissioner. Letters written by Adams as Commissioner are increasingly scarce. Text of letter is slightly faded but Adams' signature is quite bold. Center fold strengthened, small paper loss on each page at center fold (repaired) which affects only two words. (1735-1826) 2nd President of the United States, 1797-1801.

Manuscript Letter Signed. Two pages, Folio, Passy, France, February 12, 1779. At the time this letter was written, John Adams, Ben Franklin and Arthur Lee were serving as Commissioners to the Court of France. Adams had been appointed by Congress to supersede Silas Deane as Commissioner in late 1777. He set sail February 12, 1778, and arrived at Paris on April 8, 1778. Long before his arrival the alliance with France had been consummated; he found, however, a wretched state of affairs in Paris -- our three Commissioners at each others throats, while the public accounts were being reported in the laxest manner. During Lee's residence in Paris, he had been involved in bitter arguments with his fellow Commissioners and was connected with the unjust charges against Silas Deane which led to Deane's virtual exile (it wasn't until Beaumarchais' papers were discovered in a Paris garret in 1857 that Deane's conduct was explained). Lee exhibited at best a morbidly suspicious and quarrelsome disposition. By the autumn of 1779 his attacks on Franklin had become so virulent and his conduct in general so troublesome, that he was recalled by Congress, following Adams' recommendation that only one Commissioner should represent the United States at the French Court. Lee was sent to Madrid; Franklin retained in Paris; and Adams, left without any instructions, returned to America, reaching Boston on August 2, 1779.

Upon John Adams' arrival in Paris, he methodically and conscientiously organized and regimented policies and procedures. Here, he instructs Arthur Lee to assist a Mr. Pringle in arranging meetings with various individuals that Lee knows. Written in the hand of William T. Franklin, the letter reads in full:

"Sir We duly received the Letter which you did us the honor of writing on the 9th of Feb. accompany'd with a Letter from Mr. Pringle; herewith you have the Draught of an answer to that Gentleman, which you are requested if you approve of it to subscribe & forward. As Mr. Lee is better aquainted with those Persons & Offices to which Mr. Pringle must apply; it is requested of Mr. Lee to make a Draught of Instructions, for Mr. Pringle; which Mr. Adams will subscribe if he approves them, as he doubts not he shall. I have the honor to be with the greatest Consideration & Respect Sir, Your most obed't humble servant John Adams."

New-Hampshire, October 25, 1776. Four pages, tall Folio. Printed by John Mycall. Contains numerous inflammatory articles rousing Americans to arms:

"The important day is come, big with the fate of millions, and America now beckons to her Sons to kindle all their native fire, push into action every power, and press to the seas or fields where fame and glory call. -- The united wisdom of America in Congress, has determined that it is necessary to the salvation of those states, that an army be raised to serve during this war. The wisdom of this measure must appear to all, therefore let us all promote it with our utmost power.

Indictment Against Benedict Arnold's Father For Drunkeness! Docketed on verso:

"Presentment [ ? ]
against
Benedick Arnold
for Drunkeness
30 : of April
Pled Guilty
June 11th : 1760."
. 1741-1801. American Revolutionary War General and notorious turncoat. Arnold distinguished himself in a number of brazen early colonial battles, and became greatly admired by Washington, who petitioned Congress assiduously for promotions on his behalf. Though renowned for his military prowess, Arnold made influential enemies, and was repeatedly snubbed by Congress, who in 1777 promoted five of his inferiors in rank ahead of him. In 1780 he obtained the command of West Point, which, through a conspiracy with John Andre, he agreed to betray. On the capture of Andre, Arnold fled to the British lines, and was given a command in the royal army which he had once inspired with dread. He went to England in 1781, remaining in London until his death.

Manuscript Grand Jury Indictment Against Benedict Arnold's Father. Two pages, recto/verso, folded Quarto, Norwich, [Connecticut], May 23, 1760. Fascinating and revealing early colonial document, drafted by Joseph Reynolds, Grand juror, which illuminates the troubled early life of this notorious Revolutionary War soldier, whose father was losing control of the family's fortunes, and increasingly seeking consolation in taverns.

Born in Norwich, Connecticut, in 1741, Benedict Arnold ran away from home at the age of 14 to join the colonial troops then starting out for the French and Indian Wars. Brought back at the insistence of his mother, he ran away again and joined the provincial troops, saw service, wearied quickly with the soldiers life, deserted, and returned home. This indictment for drunkenness was issued against Arnold's father when the future Revolutionary War General was 19 years old, after he had returned home from a failed attempt to distinguish himself as a colonial soldier, and was restless, worried, and anxious to escape his family's disarray. The document gives us a glimpse of the struggling family life from which Benedict Arnold was sprung, and a foreshadows the troubled nature that would make him one of the most potent and enigmatic figures of the Revolutionary War. Boldly penned in dark brown ink, it reads as follows:

"To Isau Huntington of Norwich Seq one of his Majesties Justices of the peace for ye County of Newlondon comes Joseph Reynolds one of his Majesties Grandjurors for ye County afforesaid and informs and upon oath presents that on or about ye 30th Day of aprel [sic] Last Benedeck [sic] Arnold of Norwich afforesaid was Drunken in sd Norwich where he was Disabled in ye use of his reason and understanding which did appear in his Speech Gesture and behavior all which Doings of the sd Arnold is against the peace of our Soveran [sic] Lord the King and against the Laws of this Colony Dated in Norwich ye 23 of may D 1760 Joseph Reynolds Grandjuror." .

Union Soldier's Diary With Battle Descriptions. Union Army Soldier's Diary. Soldier's Diary recorded by an officer of the 178th Regiment, Ohio Volunteers, in a pocket ledger approximately 4 x 6", without covers, beginning August 31, 1864 and closing on January 17, 1865. Over Seventy pages of handwritten entries, including personal notes, lists of names, a detailed record of expenditures, some from the war years and probably related to military service. There is also a handwritten "Roll of Company A., 178 Regiment, O.b.G.," being a neatly written Muster Roll of every remaining soldier in the regiment. But the highlight of this diary is a full ten page narrative of entries made during Hood's invasion of Tennessee, also called the Franklin and Nashville Campaign, and Forrest's operations in Tennessee. The diarist writes of traveling south by river boat and train, arriving at Nashville in November of 1864. As early as November 25th he notes that General Hood and Maj. General George H.Thomas were "…fighting at Columbia 25 miles north of Shelbyville." On December 1st and 2nd the regiment marched on to Murfreesboro. While Thomas delayed his attack, Hood sent Forrest with both cavalry and infantry toward Murfreesboro to carry out raids against the Union forces, with the intention of destroying the Nashville & Chattanooga Railroad and the disruption of the Union army supply depot at Murfreesboro. This culminated in the action at Murfreesboro on the morning of December 7th, which the diarist describes in some detail:

"Regiments of infantry and 4 hundred of cavalry under General Milroy went out to feel of the rebels and 7 pieces of artillery run the rebels into their hole and then the trouble begun. Heavy cannonading for a few minutes after which the 174 O.V.I. opened fire on the Johnnies followed by the 181 O they opened a very heavy fire and the 178 O.V.I. came in on a flank move…We run the rebels until dusk…loss of our regiment light."

Several days of icy weather followed. On December 14th a foraging expedition attempting to augment dwindling rations unexpectedly came face-to-face with the enemy:

"…cracker line cut off living on quarter Rations the boys went out with a forage Train After Corn didn't go more than a mile till they found Rebel Cavalry…They had a pretty hard fight and would have been captured had it not been for reinforcements from the fort …our Color Sergeant had his leg shot off close by the knee and the Color Corp had his leg fractured laid in Murfeesboro til the 22 … on quarter Ration and that in Mush meal not sifted pretty tough …"

General John Bell Hood was soundly defeated on December 15th and 16th at Nashville and began to retreat south. Beginning December 24th, the diary narrates marching: "…on the Pike [Salem Pike] for Columbia to join our Coman after Hood. I suppose distance 50 miles arrived …28th Dec. Pretty hard marching for the holidays…" He and his unit marched west to the Tennessee River at Clifton, and on the 18th they boarded a steamboat traveling north.

The diary is moderately field worn, and though its covers are not present, the pages are still held together by the original twine binding. A fascinating first-hand account of a Civil War campaign.

  [Civil War]. All material is fine unless otherwise indicated. Lot of Four Civil War Autograph Letters Signed by Military Leaders, and Additional Civil War Ephemera. Interesting collection of nine items relating to the Civil War, including:

A. Autograph Letter Signed by John Worden, Commander of the Monitor. Two pages, Octavo, on "U.S.S. Franklin" letterhead, Ville Franche, April 10, 1875. To James L. Graham, US Consul General to Italy. Diplomatic, and curiously genteel letter from Worden, who at this time was in command of the European Squadron, which visited many ports of Northern Europe and was in the Eastern Mediterranean during the Russo-Turkish War, to the Italian Consul, accepting an invitation to visit, and comparing notes on the merits of the "Hotel Orsini," where the diplomat and his family have stayed. Signed in full, "John Worden." Scarce in ALS.

B. Autograph Letter Signed by George W. Blunt. One page, Octavo, on personal imprinted letterhead, New York, March 2, 1861. Fascinating letter from an important shipbuilder and nautical publisher, denouncing a group of confederate "spies." Blunt was responsible for charting the New York harbor, and a number of other important waterways which were of great strategic interest to the United States Navy at this time. Written in the month of Lincoln's inauguration as President, when fealty to the North and South was being tested in every State, the Shipbuilder, believing he has discovered a cadre of Southern spies, writes excitedly: "My Dear Sir I have good reason to believe that these one two or three officers in the Navy Yard in Brooklyn who send word to the South as to every movement if you wish to have their names - so that they may be sent elsewhere at once I will send them. Yours Truly Geo W Blunt." The content of this letter vividly demonstrates the culture of suspicion and sectionalism taking root as the nation divides on the eve of Civil War.

C. Letter Signed by Simon Cameron. One page, Quarto, on green-ruled paper, with the manuscript heading "War Department, Washington, May 8, 1861. Manuscript letter in a secretarial hand to Issac Lea. Esq., Philadelphia, acknowledging a letter of request for a military commission on behalf of the addressee's son, whose name the Secretary of War has forwarded to the Chief of Ordnance.

Richly detailed military letter regarding the arming of the Generals troops, which have been "dismounted," and are urgently in need of horse equipment and Rifles. North briefs his general on the ordnance he can expect, and details its movement and whereabouts. In fine condition, with very moderate staining to the verso of the integral blank, not affecting the letter proper.

E. Carte de Visite of Civil War Union Generals. Sepia-tone carte de visite, 3 x 4", of Union Army Generals Fremont and Doubleday, standing over a seated Mrs.Fremont, reading a dispatch.
