Description
n.p.: n.p., n.d.. Hardcover. Fine. A magnificent binding incorporating panels by Margarete Seeler. The eight cloisonné panels and the cloisonné figure of Christ were commissioned by Chauncey Stillman in 1960. In 1983, Mr. Stillman caused the nine panels to be incorporated into hand-wrought metal covers and affixed to the leather binding of this Evangelium. The artist used copper panels with 18 carat gold for the nine enamels and all cloisonné wires. The metal support is fine pewter. Silver is used in the bezels of the semi-precious stones and in the three small panels which cover the silver nuts and bolts. The rear cross is outlined in seed pearls. The text is an extract of the four Gospels from a nineteenth century printing of an Allioli Bible in German. Manuscript notes designate the days on which excerpts are to be read in the Liturgy. A hand-calligraphed vellum page gives the history of the binding, and is signed by Chauncey Stillman, Margarete Seeler, and James Strait, the Abbot of Erlac Monastery, now extinct, for whom the binding was commissioned. Wear to the text pages, but the binding is in fine condition. Housed in a custom clamshell case. .

Description
Single leaf, 7-7/8" x 9-5/8," Old folds, entirely in Wool's hand in neat ink manuscript. Signed at the end, with a flourish, John E. Wool. Very Good. Wool writes that he "has recently been informed that you are about, or have already agreed, to sell your house and lot, on which I presume I have a mortgage, to E. Wilson Esqr. Apprehensive that you may have been induced to the agreement, under the expectation that I should indulge Mr. Wilson in the payment of the mortgage, I conceive it my duty to inform you, that, when Mr. Wilson suggested to me the idea of purchasing the property in anticipation of such indulgence, I expressly stated to him it could not be granted and that I could not consent to any arrangement other than that which existed between you and myself." Wool acknowledges that "the subject is a delicate one, and relates to a family nearly connected with Mrs Wool." After his signature, Wool appends a postscript, stating that he "should be pleased to receive a line from you on the subject of this letter." [With:] 5-3/8" x 7-1/4" engraved portrait of General John E. Wool (toning, staining to edges). New York: Johnson, Fry & Co., 1858. Facsimile signature beneath engraving. When he wrote this Letter Wool, a career Army man, was Inspector-General of the Army. During the course of his long career-- which included service in the War of 1812, the Mexican War, and the Civil War-- he earned a well-deserved reputation as an extraordinarily capable soldier and organizer. The oldest general on either side of the Civil War, the 77-year-old Wool commanded the Department of the East.
