Description
The Corporation of the City of New York, 1865. Decorative Cloth. Very Good +. The complete run of the Civil War years of the highly-influential mid-19th century history of New York City, universally known simply as Valentine's Manual. 4 of the 5 volumes are inscribed by the author, D.T. Valentine, to his good friend, White Plains, NY lawyer S.L.A. Ward. All 5 of the volumes --thick, uniform 12mos-- are solid and easily VG+ in their blindstamped bevelled boards, with intricate gilt-design and titling along both the front panels and spines. Each volume is 800-900 pages or more and each boasts dozens and dozens of fold-out plates (many of them in rich chromolithography). A bit of fading --with a touch of rubbing as well-- along 2 of the spines but the set is solid, well-preserved and very presentable. Uncommon as such, with this complete arc of the Civil War years and with all but one of the volumes signed by the formidable D.T. Valentine.

Description
TLS. 1pg. 6 x 9 . September 11, 1974. The White House. A typed letter signed Betty Ford as First Lady on White House letterhead. She wrote to Mrs. Perkins McGuire: How sweet of you to send us the magazine from Spain. Little did I ever think that the Fords would have pictures in a foreign magazine. We were quite lucky that my assistants husband is a Spanish professor and he was able to read the article for us. Many thanks again for being so thoughtful, and Jerry joins me in sending our warm regards. McGuire, whom the letter is addressed to, served as the Assistant Secretary of Defense under President Eisenhower, and was later appointed by President Nixon to be Chairman of the Commission on Government Procurement. The letter has two mailing folds and is in fine condition; it is accompanied by the original mailing envelope.
