Title: Surrender of the German High Sea Fleet: Position of Ships at 9am, 21st November 1918, en route for Firth of Forth
Author: [WWI]
Seller: Biblioctopus (United States)
Description: 1918. Manuscript, 2 leaves in pencil on ruled paper, second leaf torn in half, slightly creased and browned. An eyewitness record of Operation ZZ. On the morning of 21 November 1918, ten days after the Armistice, the German High Seas Fleet sailed into captivity. Led by the light cruiser HMS Cardiff, 70 German warships (nine battleships, five battlecruisers, seven light cruisers, and 49 destroyers) were met by over 370 Allied vessels and escorted in two flanking columns into the Firth of Forth, the largest assembly of naval power the world had ever seen. Admiral Hipper, commander of the German fleet, refused to participate in the surrender and delegated it to Rear Admiral Ludwig von Reuter. That evening, Admiral Beatty signaled from his flagship HMS Queen Elizabeth: "The German flag will be hauled down at sunset today and will not be hoisted again without permission." This document, clearly made by someone present, records the positions of the British, German, and American ships as they formed up that morning, organized by squadron: the light cruiser squadrons, the battle cruiser squadrons, the battle squadrons, the German vessels in the center column, and the American battleships (New York, Texas, Arkansas, Wyoming, and Florida) bringing up one flank. Seven months later, von Reuter ordered the interned fleet scuttled at Scapa Flow rather than allow the Allies to seize it; 52 of the 74 ships went to the bottom. This document records the last morning the German High Seas Fleet sailed intact.

Title: Autograph Letter Signed, Boston, November 22, 1848 to Thomas J. Taylor, New York City
Author: Wood, T.
Seller: Michael Brown Rare Books, LLC (United States)
Description: Quarto, 2 pages, plus stamp-less address leaf, few small tears to integral address leaf, else in good, clean, legible condition. Written by [Th.] B. Wood, of Boston, Massachusetts to his cousin, attorney Thomas J. Taylor, of 183 Second Street, New York. The letter appears to be written by Timothy B. Wood, of the firm of "A. Wood Son & Co.," of Boston. Timothy B. Wood, who ran the firm of A. Wood Son & Co., with a man by the name of "L. Whitney", the firm was based at the wharf opposite 50 Charles Street, where Wood lived. The company dealt in coal, wood, and Green Mountain lumber. The letter is written to the writer's cousin, Thomas J. Taylor, at 183 Second Street, New York. The New York City Directory for 1848 identifies Thomas J. Taylor as a lawyer, with an office at 25 Nassau and his home at 183 Second Street. The letter complains about a Jewish man who owes Wood money. Wood makes derogatory remarks about "9 out of 10 Jews" being "cursed humbugs." Wood also complains of a second Jewish man who used to work for Wood, who owes him a smaller debt. He writes his cousin Taylor, asking help in collecting this smaller debt. "Boston 22 Nov 1848 Dear Cousin, I enclose you Philip's invoice and would have sent it sooner, but only yesterday received my boxes containing my books. I hope you will not let the rascal rest till he pays up. He is like 9 out of 10 Jews, a cursed humbug. As to the small claim on that other Jew, he bought the 'things' out & out, and it was nothing to me whether he disposed of them or not, and having worked for me in Manchester and professing great friendship, I did not hesitate in letting him have them without the cash as he said he had his wages to draw that week and would pay on the following Tuesday. I enclose a note to him & if he has not paid, please to deliver it to him. If he does not seem inclined to pay then have it till I am over in N.Y. I fully expected to have received a letter by the last mail from England. I conclude there was not any or you would have got it for me. There was a pretty heavy fall of snow here on Sunday night, and some sleigh riding on Monday, but it is now about all thawed away. If you see Howarth, please to ask him if he has given the key of my store to Raymond. If he has not, tell him to do so. Give him my address here and tell him I shall be glad to hear from him. I am happy to say we are both well and I hope this will find you and all at 183 Second Street the same. With best respects, I am yours truly, [Th] B. Wood"
