[Autograph address leaf, postmarked "Albany" and "Paid," with "paid 4" notation.] Mr. William Ireson at A Burr's. No 4 Broadway/ New York Aaron Burr, Jr. (1756-1836) was the third Vice President, serving during Jefferson's first term, through March 4, 1805. His first public service was as a Continental Army officer, where he distinguished himself at the Battles of Quebec, New York, and Monmouth. While Vice President, on July 11, 1804, Burr fatally wounded Alexander Hamilton in a duel. With his political fortunes in decline, Burr is reputed to have formed a conspiracy to establish a private army and set up an empire from portions of Mexico (then belonging to Spain) and/or Louisiana (a U.S. territory). Co-conspirators included Jonathan Dayton (former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives) and Harman Blennerhassett (an English-born country gentleman from the Ohio River valley). When Burr attempted to recruit Louisiana Governor James Wilkinson to the plot, Wilkinson reported the matter to President Jefferson, who ordered his former vice president arrested. Burr surrendered in Louisiana (January 10, 1807), then attempted to flee to Spanish-held Florida and was arrested in Alabama. Burr was brought to trial on August 3, 1807, with Chief Justice John Marshall presiding. Because the law required two witnesses for treason (and because Marshall was happy to stick it to Jefferson), Burr was acquitted on September 1. He was subsequently tried on a misdemeanor, and acquitted on a technicality. Following the trial he lived in Europe in self-imposed exile for four years, then returned to New York to practice law. John McKesson (1734-1798), who was mentioned in the letter, graduated from Princeton and practiced law in Manhattan. He "was one of the most active Americans in the State of New York during the Revolutionary War… He was appointed Secretary of the Provincial Convention which met in New York the 20th of April, 1775, for the purpose of choosing delegates to represent the colony in the Continental Congress." Thereafter, he was secretary at the First, Second, Third, and Fourth Provincial Congresses, May 1775 to May 1777, and the first Clerk of the Assembly of New York, September 1777 through 1794. Additionally, he was secretary at the State Convention on the ratification of the Federal Constitution. (Clinton, 196; Chester, 629-39) Condition Fine. Professionally conservation treated.

Title: Catastrophe et autres dramaticules (Cette fois, Solo, Berceuse, Impromptu d'Ohio)
Author: Beckett, Samuel
Seller: B & B Rare Books, Ltd., ABAA (United States)
Condition: Fine
Description: Paris: Les Éditions de Minuit, 1982 First edition, first printing. Presentation copy, signed and inscribed by Beckett to Mel Gussow on title page: "For Mel Gussow / With all good wishes / Sam Beckett / 24.6.83." Publisher's original white wrappers, front wrapper and spine lettered in blue and black. About fine, with just some light toning to spine and edges. Overall, an excellent association copy, from Mel Gussow's personal library. In Catastrophe, an imperious director and his assistant prepare a man, who stands on an 18" black block with his eyes looking down, for the last scene of a dramatic performance. After making dehumanizing adjustments to the man's appearance, like stripping him down to his pajamas, they do a run through of the scene, which ends with the director exclaiming "There's our catastrophe! In the bag." They do one more run through, but this time the man raises his eyes defiantly to the crowd. Catastrophe, often interpreted as a commentary on totalitarianism, was dedicated by Beckett to imprisoned Czech playwright, Václav Havel. The play was filmed as part of the Beckett on Film project (2002), directed by David Mamet and starring Harold Pinter as the Director. Mel Gussow (1933 - 2005) was an American theater and movie critic who contributed more than 4,000 articles and reviews to the New York Times over a span of 35 years. Gussow first met Beckett in 1978, and the two continued to meet and converse informally on life and art about once a year for the next 10 years until Beckett's death in 1989 (their final meeting was at Beckett's French nursing home where he later passed away). Gussow drew from these meetings to write his book, Conversations with and about Beckett (1996) - one in a series of four "Conversation" books, the others featuring conversations with playwrights Arthur Miller, Harold Pinter, and Tom Stoppard. Gussow's Beckett book is particularly illuminating given that the enigmatic playwright famously declined to do interviews for most of his lifetime. Gussow also wrote Beckett's NYT obituary in 1989, titled "Samuel Beckett is Dead at 83; His 'Godot' Changed Theater.". Signed by Author. First Edition. Original Wraps. Fine.

Seller: Underground Books, ABAA (United States)
ISBN: 9780886775926
Condition: Good
Description: New York: DAW Books, Inc, 1994. First Edition. Paperback. Good. First Edition. Paperback. First Printing, February 1994, with full number line. 6 7/8" X 4 1/8". 255pp, plus ad. Moderate edgewear to pictorial paper wraps, featuring cover art by John Jude Palencar. Lean and creasing to spine. All edges yellow. Despite creasing to spine, binding remains firm, tight, and sound. Pages are clean and unmarked. This is the third and final volume in Suzette Haden Elgin's Native Tongue Trilogy. The first volume published in 1984, while Margaret Atwood was in the middle of writing The Handmaid's Tale, this dystopian trilogy imagines a future America where women no longer have legal rights and the earth's financial wellbeing depends on a line of linguists who breed women to birth and to become ideal translators of alien languages before they send them to "Barren Houses." The women of the linguist lines, however, have for generations been secretly crafting a language of their own, a language of revolution. Professor of linguistics Patricia Anne Wilkins (1936-2015) began writing science fiction under the pen name Suzette Haden Elgin as a widowed single mother trying to put herself through college in the 1960s. The language developed in the Native Tongue Trilogy is the constructed language Láadan which Elgin engineered and of which there are a handful of speakers in the world today. A very presentable first printing of this classic of feminist science fiction, recently brought back to print by the Feminist Press at CUNY. "This angry feminist text is also an exemplary experiment in speculative fiction, deftly and implacably pursuing both a scientific hypothesis and an ideological hypothesis through all their social, moral, and emotional implications." -Ursula K. Le Guin.
