Description
JAMES SHEAFE (1755-1829). Sheafe was a Congressman and Senator from New Hampshire.(1798 QUASI WAR WITH FRANCE). From 1798 to 1800, The United States and France fought an undeclared naval war. It was ended by the Convention of 1800 treaty, although the United States had hundreds of ships seized. ALS. 2pg. 8 x 10. Jany 25, 1802. Senate Chamber. An autograph letter signed James Sheafe to Mr. Pichen, the French consul; Senator Sheafe was protesting the continuing capture of American ships by the French, even though it was prevented by treaty: Allow me to enclose for your perusal the papers that respect my claim in the cases of capture by ships under the authority of the French Republic one of them the Pacific was made only twenty two days prior to the date of the Convention the ship was not carried into any Port and I presume not condemned and therefore should by the 4th article of the Convention be either restored or paid for. The Secretary of State & Attorney General have suggested to me the propriety of laying these cases before you. The death of my Friend & attorney Mr. Dobre in October last of which I have been just advised will somewhat embarrass me in my claim for the Apollo & Cargo. Permit me to ask the favor of your advice and opinion on my proceeding I mean as far only as may be consistent with your office. Will you have the goodness after you have examined the Papers to enclose them to me with your answer. The letter has dampstaining on one half of the page and it lightens some of the writing.

Quarto size, 207 pp. Elizabeth Smart (1913-1986), poet and novelist, is best remembered today for the book she wrote about her romance with George Barker, "By Grand Central Station I Sat Down and Wept".

After her death in 1986, upon her cottage being sold, "an unsuspected mass of letters, diaries, scrapbooks and MSS was discovered. This book has been compiled by some of Elizabeth's friends in an effort to imply the autobiography that she did not live to write" (Introduction, p. 5). ___DESCRIPTION: Bound in full blue cloth over boards, paper label with black lettering mounted into a debossed rectangle on the front board, matching spine label, decorated endpapers, photographs of various letters and diary pages throughout; binding quarto size (11 1/4" by 7 5/8"), pagination: [1-4] 5-204 [205, photograph] [1, blank] [1, colophon], limited edition, this no. 54 of 100 copies "bound in linen", total edition 250 numbered copies. ___CONDITION: Fine overall, the boards clean (other than a few very light, stray marks on the back board), straight corners without rubbing, a strong, square text block with solid hinges, the interior is clean and bright, and entirely free of prior owner markings; crisp and appears unread. ___POSTAGE: International customers, please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA, ILAB, and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.
