Description
49 letters, 83 manuscript pages, 12 postcards, correspondence mainly written in ink, in very good, clean, and legible condition, many letters written on Howard University letterhead. George H. Safford was the seventh secretary and treasurer of Howard University in Washington, D.C., serving from January 19, 1899, to September 21, 1909. Safford, like Howard's president at the time, Rev. Jeremiah Eames Rankin (1828-1904), the institution's sixth, was white. (Rankin served from 1890-1903). Safford, like Rankin, also appears to have been a New Hampshire native. Safford prior to his appointment at Howard worked for G. Peterson & Co., the contractors who built the Washington reservoir in the 1880's and as Second Assistant Postmaster General in the 1890's. After his service at Howard, Safford worked in the Department of Agriculture in Washington. The correspondence generally concerns family and domestic affairs and only occasionally touches upon his work at Howard.

Karl Baedeker (1801-1959) was born in Essen, and attended Heidelberg University. His family was involved in the publishing and bookselling business, and around 1828 he entered the travel guide business. Baedeker created a different kind of travel book that opened up tourism for a new class of travelers, by guiding the tourist to the principal attractions in a country or area. This information was often edited by Baedeker himself, and sons would take over and expand the business after his death. This edition provides detailed information, along with many folding maps and plates of Switzerland and nearby areas. ODB.
