Lot 984		Adams, John -- Letter Signed as President, Referring to His Father's Death (1735-1826) 2nd President of the United States (1797-1801). Letter signed "J. Adams" as President, one page, 9¾ x 8", Philadelphia, Jan. 22, 1798. Written to his cousin, Dr. Cotton Tufts, in full: "Inclosed is a Letter from Mr. Webster, which I shall be much obliged if you will answer, thro me. The great cold at Braintree, of which my Father died in 1761 as I believe, but of which as I have no Record here I am not positive, is the object of his Inquiry." He adds a postscript: "I write you this month about Business with Brother Cranch & Gen. Lincoln." Very good to fine condition; light toning; thin mounting strip on verso of left edge. Boldness of ink varies in text but Adams' signature is quite bold. In spring of 1761, the first influenza pandemic known to originate in the Americas began, spreading to Europe and the rest of the world. John Adams, Sr. (1691-1761) was a victim of this pandemc. The business to which Adams refers would have been with his brother-in-law, Richard Cranch, who was married to Abigail's sister Mary Smith Cranch, and General Benjamin Lincoln, who had played an important role in the American Revolution and who served as Collector of the Port of Boston from 1789 to 1809.

Lot 985		Buchanan, James -- ALS as U.S. Minister to Russia: "In Russia, the great mass of the people are semibarbarians & slaves…." (1791-1868) 15th President of the United States (1857-1861). Autograph letter signed as U.S. Minister to Russia, 3 pp, 9¾ x 7¾", St. Petersburg, Mar. 3. 1833. With holograph address leaf addressed to Henry Buckler in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. A few excerpts from the excellent content include: "I accepted the station I now occupy only after the re-iterated solicitation of General [President] Jackson. If opportunities of serving my country in office should present themselves, I shall not decline them; if not I shall never seek them….I shall never hold any office which depends upon a warm, decided & general movement in my favor of the party in Pennsylvania….No American can travel through Europe without becoming still more attached to his native land & those institutions under which it has flourished. It is only with us that a man can feel from his birth that he is equal to his fellow man. It is perhaps true that no people in Europe are prepared for Republican Institutions. This is what their statesmen contend. But what a complement to us does this admission imply! In Russia, the great mass of the people are semi-barbarians & slaves wholly unfit for self-government. It is fortunate for them that they have such an Emperor [Nicholas I] as their present Sovereign; but the curse of despotism is that his son [Alexander II] may be as great a tyrant as his father has been….[Nicholas] receives full credit for all the good that is done whilst all the evil is charged to the account of his ministers. His private character as well as that of the Empress is without a single blemish….Such is the character of a sovereign at home, who is believed by many in our country to be a tyrant. That his proceedings towards Poland cannot be justified is certain, and that every liberal man throughout the world desired & ought to have desired the independence of that ancient & gallant nation is equally true….You can have no conception of how bitterly the Russians hate the Poles & before the latter rose to establish their rights, the former were very jealous of the favors which they say had been bestowed by the Emperor on Poland at their expense…." Letter is stained at folds and was professionally silked for conservation at some point. Overall toning and a seal tear which affects a couple of words. A vertical fold traverses the "s" in "James". Despite blemishes, the letter is boldly written and signed and contains excellent content. Note: It was Alexander II (reigned 1855-1881) who sold Alaska to the United States in 1867.

On Jan. 29, 1990, Bush writes "Rosty, You knocked it clear out of the park into the parking lot. I've been to every one save 2 since 1970 and you are Alfalfa's best. You'll lose to me, of course, but you were great--I mean it! George." In the Feb. 20. 1990 TLS, Bush writes with humor that he has called Tom Foley and told him he couldn't accept an ABC bill, and referring to a headline (attached to the letter) that Rostenkowski thinks Bush is failing the "Leadership Test."

To you, my thanks for the support given by your command as a whole." In very good to fine condition, with four old tape stains.

A week later, on December 6, 1805, they were captured by pirates, who locked the crew up, ransacked their ship, stole everything they could pry loose, ate and drank freely from the ship's stores, and then took what was left of those along for good measure. The pirates stayed aboard through the night, 'behaving in a shocking manner breaking & tearing & taking every thing they could lay their hands on' before sailing off. The pirate captain 'said his vessel was call'd the Queen of Spain he had Spanish coulours sett but they were all french men on board of her.' The Hantonia then limped into port in Cuba, got repaired, and took on a cargo of sugar for New York. They departed January 15 and, after a rough winter trip, made Sandy Hook light a little more than a month later…." Estimated Value $7,500 - UP View details and enlarged photo	Realized $4,800

Lot 1026		Rare Chinese Export c. 1790 Lidded Pot and Plate with Monogram "GW" for George Washington, Identical Shield On Single Bowl at Mount Vernon. Ch'ien Lung Chinese export ware c. 1790. For the American market an exceptionally rare, original antique lidded pot and plate with the monogram of George Washington. Referenced thoroughly in Elinor Gordon's Collecting Chinese Export Pottery, Revised Edition from The Main Street Press, Pittstown, New Jersey, we quote "Unmistakably American is the mug which carries the simple monogram "GW" for George Washington. The decoration is armorial, but is not heavily weighted with heraldic elements. An ermine-lined blue mantle surrounds the shield. The border is a blue enamel wavy band with polychrome floral sprigs. She quotes a newspaper ad from the Providence Gazette of this export ware to be "Manufactured in the Best Manner, all sorts of China-Ware with Arms, Cyphers and other Decorations painted in a very superior style and on the most reasonable Terms, Jan 8, 1804") Lidded pot is 5 x 4 x 4" with the hand painted details in excellent condition. We note only a few rubs to the gilt surrounding the "GW" monogram and one handle has had a particularly expert repair. The extremely intricate detailing around the lid is in superior condition and executed with supreme artistry. The lid has no cracks or repairs with gilt and paint loss at a minimum, just scattered rubs. The blackberry finial however shows gilt wear commensurate with age. The small dish measures 1¼ x 5½ x 5½" and is in near miraculous, superior condition. There is one tiny fleabite to glaze on the thin edge of dish and minimum gilt rubs to the same edge. On 12/01/2012, Goldberg Auctions sold a single mug in this pattern for $5375.00 which was the very example used for study in Elinor Gordon's export pottery guide. Further that mug sold two years prior at Sotheby's in New York, Jan 23, 2010. We could find no other examples of these pieces on the internet confirming just how rare if not unique. Finally of note, Gordon's book mentions that a punch bowl in this pattern from 1795 is on permanent display at Mount Vernon which belonged to George Washington. It has the identical shields as the mug Goldberg Auctions (and Sotheby's) previously sold as well as the two pieces offered here..
