 [Byron's Circle]. Hodgson, Francis, [Autograph Letter Signed] Francis Hodgson Regrets to Decline Robert Balmanno's Offer
[Byron's Circle]. Hodgson, Francis
[Autograph Letter Signed] Francis Hodgson Regrets to Decline Robert Balmanno's Offer
Bakewell, [England], 1827. [2] pp. Bifolium. Integral address with seal. 7.5 x 9 inches. Francis Hodgson (1781-1852), a writer, cleric, educator, and close friend of Lord Byron, wrote back to Robert Balmanno, gently turning down his request that Hodgson contribute to his literary periodical. While we don't have Balmanno's letter we can assume that he referenced Hodgson's recent publication in Alaric A. Watts' journal [Literary Souvenir] (Watts' letters appear in James Thomas Hodgson: Memoir of the Rev. Francis Hodgson, B. D. scholar, poet, and divine. London: Macmillan, 1878. Vol. II, p. 169-70), given Hodgson's reply: "I beg leave to express my regret for the circumstance you mention as suggesting your present undertaking, and also sincerely to wish your success in that attempt. But I am grieved to add that it is out of my power, with any comfort or consistency, to lend you the assistance you do me the honor of requesting. The fact is, it was neither my intention, nor wish to come forward as a contributor to any of the Periodical works now publishing; but particular circumstances continue to render it difficult for me to decline the assistance requested by Mr. Alaric Watts. To do anything further in this way would quite break upon my plans & expose me not only to solicitations, but to imputations which I assure you would be imperious as well as unpleasant." Balmanno's letter seems to have rubbed Hodgson the wrong way in other respects, since his response seems to imply that Balmanno was referencing a connection to both Hodgson's parishioners as well as having other important connections: "However, with the powerful help you intimate for both departments, of your work, it will be of little consequence whether you have aid comparatively so unimportant." Robert Balmanno (1780-1861) was an author and collector of engravings and autographs. He was editor of the London Literary Gazette before moving to New York where he founded the New York Shakespeare Society. Letters of Hodgson are quite uncommon on the market. ( Byron's letters to him fetched over a quarter of a million pounds in 2009). Very good, few tears along edges and folds, chip on blan from opening seal.

 [New York. Sullivan County]. Holly, John C.; Niven, Archibald C., [Two Manuscript Letters Signed Concerning Political Maneuvers at the Sullivan County, Ny, Democratic Convention, in 1853
[New York. Sullivan County]. Holly, John C.; Niven, Archibald C.
[Two Manuscript Letters Signed Concerning Political Maneuvers at the Sullivan County, Ny, Democratic Convention, in 1853
Monticello, [NY], 1853. [2 pp.] bifolium, 1 sheet. 8 x 10 inches. The first letter, written prior to the convention, is dated Monticello, August 30, 1853, from John C. Holly, who had been elected Sheriff the prior year, is addressed to "Friend [James K.] Gardner" (1805-1860) one of the most prominent citizens of Barryville, which he help found; in 1852 he was elected to the New York State Legislature, and held numerous other offices. Holly complains about the jockeying before the convention: "The time has arrived when the friends of the several candidates throughout the county were up and doing and the love of contention appears to be this fall who shall go to the Senate and it appears to be determination of the General and his aids to have the doctor on the course, and if he cannot do it in one way, why in some other. The game appears to be this that the doctor is to get as many delegates throughout the county as he can and the General as many as he can and when they come to the convention all go in for the doctor. Now Lord [George W. Lord, prominent Monticello lawyer ] is a candidate for nomination and have understood that you was and I think the best way is to write your forces. Lord is not in any way anxious for the nomination and would rather throw his votes in [with] you .. than in the hands of the General." The second letter, was written after the convention, by Archibald C. Niven (1803-1882), a Surrogate of Sullivan County, New York from 1828 to 1840, Adjutant General of the New York State Militia in 1844, Democrat to the 29th United States Congress (1845-1847), and District Attorney of Sullivan County (1847-1850), most likely also to Gardner (though there is no salutation, and it is marked dpl.) on September 10th, 1853; "it would seem that Lord had determined to be Senator & among other things asserted that he had a letter from you & that you were in his favor. This, of course, was unpalatable to those who are unfavorable to Lord?, for he was defeated at our town Caucus by a decided majority. Well, the county convention .. and (as I am told only 10 towns were represented, making 30 delegates, and as Col. Tremain & others were determined to go for me, they counted and found I had 17. Woodbridge has said or at least a letter was received here from Albany stating that he had there said, that he could or would control your vote & had done so during the session. All this, excited prejudices and free-soilers with Curtis (Major James C. Curtis) at the head, set to work & by trickery.. Very good, lightly browned edges and folds.

Van Horne, Augustus C.; Speyer, John; Rivington, Susan; Morris, James
[Rare 18th C. Manuscript Bond Signed] Fifty Thousand Dollars Jail Bond for Augustus C. Van Horne
New York, 1799. 1 sheet. 10 x 16 inches. All manuscript [not partially printed] bond dated February 1, 1799, signed by August C. Van Horne and John Speyer, to which as been added the name of Susan Rivington, in the amount of $50,000. With seals after each of the names. "Know all men by these presents, that we Augustus C. Van Horne, John Speyer, and Susan Rivington are jointly and severally held and firmly bound unto James Morris Esqr. Sheriff of the City and County of New York.. Whereas the above bounden Augustus C. Van Horne is now in the custody of the above named James Morris.. on civil process only, and is permitted by the said Sheriff to go at large within the liberties of the jail of the City of New York, as the same liberties and limits thereof are designated by the Court of Common Pleas.." Augustus C. Van Horne (1765-1853), son of Cornelius Van Horne, was a well-known merchant. John Speyer was a merchant in a partnership with Jacob Mark, their company, Mark & Speyer, failing spectacularly in 1799, growing into an immense lawsuit not settled until 1820. Susan Rivington was the daughter of James Rivington, publisher, sometime loyalist and later spy for Washington. There is a separate bond of James Rivington, Jr. and Susan Rivington to James Morris, Sheriff of New York City, also dated February 1, 1799, at the New York Historical Society. The Rivingtons and Van Hornes were related by marriage. James Morris (1764-1827) was Sheriff of New York County from 1798-1801. The cause for the bond is not known, though the three incidents, the two bonds signed by Rivington and the failure of Speyer's firm, all in the same year, would suggest a relationship See: 1.

Howard, [Jacob Merritt]. (United States. Congress. Senate)
In the Senate of the United States. Mr. Howard Submitted the Following Resolution. Senate 39th Congress, 1st Session. Mis. Doc. No. 39. January 16, 1866. Read, and Ordered to Lie on the Table and Be Printed... It Appears That Jefferson Davis, Late President of the So-Called Confederate States, Is Now Held in Custody, Charged with the Crimes of Having Incited the Assassination of Abraham Lincoln... Resolved by the Senate, (and the House of Representatives Concurring,) That It Be Respectfully Recommended to the President That Said Jefferson Davis and Clement C. Clay Be, without Unnecessary Delay, Tried by a Military Commission Upon Said Charges
[Washington, D.C.], n.p. 1866. First edition. Broadside. 6 x 9 1/2 inches. Michigan senator Jacob Merritt Howard (1805-1871), who had worked closely with Lincoln in drafting and passing the Thirteenth Amendment, was a strong supporter of his measures, including "emergency actions during the secession crisis, and advocated 'severe, exemplary, and speedy punishment of the rebels. He was especially vocal on all matters pertaining to the confiscation of rebel property and the emancipation of slaves. He was also one of the most forceful advocates of the 1863 Conscription Act," (ANBO). His ire extended to trying for treason the Confederate leaders. In December he wanted to know why Davis had not been put on trial, and now, despite it being well-known that Davis did not have complicity in Lincoln's murder, he declared in this resolution that Davis be "charged with the crimes of having incited the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, and with the murder of soldiers of the Unites States held a prisoners of war during the rebellion, and other cruel and barbarous practices in violation of the rules and usages of civilized war." Clement C. Clay was also to be tried. It appears that Merritt's resolution never made it to the floor for a second reading as was required by law. Scarce. We could find only one in auction or dealer sales records, in 1964. OCLC locates only one copy: Univ. of Mississippi (OCLC669843127) in its "Civil War: Primary Source Publications Related to Mississippi." Owen: Bibliography of Mississippi p. 685. Eberstadt 165-210.

He fell out of favor during the years leading up to the Revolutionary War, which ultimately lead to a ransacking of his mansion (1765) when he accepted the legality of the Stamp Act, a mob attack (1770), and ended with him being replaced as Governor and exiled back to England in 1774 where he acted as a consultant to the British on how to handle the Americans. Signed Roland Cotton (1701-1778) who was clerk of the House. Scarce. Very good, minute tearing along centerfold, with small repaired tear at top edge, minor browning and soiling.
