Fletcher, Henry P. (1873-1959). American diplomat who served under six presidents.

Magazine Portrait Signed by American Diplomat Henry P. Fletcher Who Served Under Six Presidents.

Circa [1930]. [1930]. - 4-3/8 inch high by 2-3/8 inch wide black-and-white portrait clipped from a magazine & mounted on a 6-1/4 inch high by 2-7/8 inch wide piece of cream card. Signed "Henry P. Fletcher". The lower left edge of the portrait is roughly cut & there is some light soiling to the mount. Good.

Fletcher adds after his signature "To Seymour Halpern". Future Congressman Seymour Halpern was then a young autograph collector.

In 1898 when the Spanish-American War broke out Henry Prather Fletcher [1873-1959] joined Theodore Roosevelt's Rough Riders as a private and served in the U.S. Army in Cuba and he Philippines for two years. After the war he entered the diplomatic service under President Roosevelt as Secondary Secretary of the U.S. legation in Havana, Cuba. Between 1909 and 1924 Fletcher was successively appointed U.S. Minister to Chile and Ambassador to Chile, Mexico, Belgium and Italy. He also served in the State Department from 1920-1922, first as director of Latin American affairs and then as Under Secretary of State.

The Queens, New York Republican Congressman Seymour Halpern (1913-1997) started his political career as a campaign aide to New York's powerful mayor Fiorella La Guardia and first served in New York's State Senate for 14 years before seeking a seat in the U.S. Congress. In Albany Halpern sponsored 279 bills that became law, including measures on schools, housing, civil rights, nutrition and mental health. A Liberal, he was something of an anomaly as the lone Republican representative from New York City, and generally garnered support from Labor Unions and endorsement from the Liberal Party. Yet he never even considered switching parties as he considered membership in the Republican Party a family tradition and commitment. While he found ample time for his private pursuits, including painting and collecting autographs, he took his legislative duties very seriously. Of these, he was proudest of his co-sponsorship of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and of the original 1965 Medicare legislation. Good .

Gibson, Thomas Milner. (1806-1884). British Liberal politician who served as President of the Board of Trade under Lord Palmerston (1859-1866).

Signature of British Liberal Politician Thomas Milner Gibson on the Latter Half of a Letter.

Milner Gibson". Folded for mailing approximately 1 inch from the top edge. The left edge is slightly creased. Good. Gibson is writing to his correspondent about reports written by [Walter] Plowden, the first British Consul to Abyssinia. "Perhaps his reports on Abyssinia may have been sent before he was made Consul, in 1848 or 1849. If you could send me these to Theberton I should be very much obliged." Thomas Milner Gibson [1806-1884] was a British Conservative politician who adopted Liberal views and became an ardent supporter of the free-trade movement. He was elected to the House of Commons as Member of Parliament for Manchester in 1841, and from 1846 to 1848 was Vice-President of the Board of Trade under Prime Minister Lord John Russell. From 1859 to 1866 he sat in the cabinet as President of the Board of Trade, first under Lord Palmerston and then under John Russell. Gibson was a leader in the movement for the repeal of taxes on educational materials and his successful efforts on behalf of journalism and advertising were recognized by a public testimonial in 1862. He retired from political life in 1868. Gibson and his wife resided at Theberton House in the village of Theberton, Suffolk. British diplomat Walter Plowden [1820-1860] was the British Consul at Massawa in Eritrea [at that time part of Ethiopia] on the Red Sea coast from 1848 to 1860. He played a role in Ethiopian politics, cultivating the friendship, first of Ras Ali,regent of the Ethiopian emperor, and later of the emperor Tewodros. In 1860 he was murdered by a warlord hostile to Tewodros. His writings on Abyssinia were published by his brother in London in 1868. Good .

The Works of Rev. Robert Hall, A.M. (Three Volume Set)

New York City, Harper & Brothers, 1838. Leather Bound. 8vo. Uniformly bound in full calf. Engraved frontispiece. Each of these three volumes is noticeably bumped, scuffed & rubbed. On the front free endpaper of each are stamped the words 'section' and 'shelf'. There is a small, very old, bookseller's stamp on the front pastedown of volume I. The hinges and joints are generally tight, but one or two are a trifle weak, and the front board of Vol. III is hanging by one cord. The contents show some light, sporadic, foxing. Overall, the volumes can be handled, and read, with normal care and are thus still in good to good plus condition. Hall (1764-1831) was a Baptist divine, reputed to have first preached at age 11. He created great controversy with his 'Modern Infidelity considered with respect to its Influence on Society' (published in 1800, contained within vol. I of this set). These three volumes contain 'Sermons and Charges', 'Sermons not before Published', 'Tracts, Political and Miscellaneous', 'Articles from the Eclectic Review', 'Miscellaneous Pieces', 'Notes on Sermons', and 'Letters'. With a brief memoir of his life by Dr. Gregory, and observations on his character as a preacher by Rev. John Foster. .
