White Fox Rare Books and Antiques (United States)
Description
Sumatra, Indonesia, 1850. Bone, to which the end pieces of the concertina, tree bark unadorned, is attached. Oblong, 31 by 49 cm. Ten panels made with tree bark, with text and illustrations on both side. Eight painted illustrations, and a dozen panels of text. Plus of course the two incised illustrations on the bone covers. Our Pustaha is shorter than most -- its size isn't conducive to elaborate laborious detail. And one can certainly find Pustaha's with more detail in the artwork. But compared to smaller Pustahas -- and all the ones we've seen a still a bit larger than our -- the paintings in ours hold their own. For one thing, the paintings aren't mere line drawings as more common.

Description
54 William St. [New York], 1867. ALS to Thomas S. Ridgway, Boston 1 page (5" X 8"), 38 words in black (now brown) ink, and typically (for Fremont) both cryptic and mysterious. Dated "13, Apr" and, based on content, we're assuming 1867-1868. Near fine. “I have received your confidential note of the 8th and will think over the subject & let you know what conclusion I arrive at. Yours truly J. C. Fremont.”. Thomas S. Ridgway was a prominent Boston businessman and Republican political operative who would serve as a delegate to the 1868 Republican National Convention. The cryptic nature of Fremont's response (acknowledging a "confidential" matter requiring careful consideration) suggests the correspondence involved either sensitive political maneuvering related to the upcoming presidential election or potentially lucrative business opportunities. The letter's return address at 54 William Street corresponds to the headquarters of The Atlantic & Pacific Railroad Company, where Fremont served as President during 1866-1867, one of several ambitious railroad ventures that characterized his post-Civil War entrepreneurial activities. Given Ridgway's political connections and Fremont's dual roles as a potential Republican figure and railroad executive, the "subject" under consideration could have involved campaign strategy, patronage appointments, or railroad financing; all areas where the two men's interests would have intersected during this pivotal period in American political and economic development. The deliberately vague language reflects the cautious communication style typical of Gilded Age political and business correspondence, where sensitive negotiations were conducted through coded references rather than explicit statements. And as to letters generally: Letter writing lives on as the final device for quiet, low tech, good will, and (paradoxically) both solitude and good company simultaneously.
