Title: Gov. Thomas Jefferson Seeks to Supply General Washington With Information on the Condition of British Prisoners of War of the Saratoga Convention
Author: Thomas Jefferson
Seller: The Raab Collection (United States)
Description: 14/09/1780. An extraordinary letter, wherein Jefferson positions himself in relation to news from his state to the General of the Continental Army It also shows the remarkably challenging proposition of keeping charge of such a large and hostile armyJefferson and the Convention troopsThe surrender of General Burgoyne to General Gates at Saratoga, N.Y. on October 18, 1777, placed nearly 6,000 British and Hessian prisoners of war in the hands of the Continental Congress. According to the terms of their surrender, written in a document entitled the “Convention of Saratoga,” the prisoners were to be marched to Boston and then shipped back to Great Britain. When they arrived at Boston, a dispute arose between the Americans and Burgoyne, and on the 8th of January 1778, Congress resolved to suspend the terms of the Convention and keep the prisoners in custody. Late that year the decision was made to relocate them to Charlottesville, Virginia, where they could be more closely watched and better supplied. Many of the British and Hessian officers had their wives and children with them, and wagons were provided for their transportation. British General Philips and the genial Hessian General von Riedesel led the march southward. They reached Charlottesville, 700 miles from Boston, in January 1779, exhausted by a long journey during an inclement season and arriving to find their barracks unfinished and their supplies insufficient. Moreover, the local population was alarmed to have introduced into their presence so many enemy soldiers.Jefferson, however, urged his fellow citizens to remain calm and willingly serve as hosts to the Convention troops, who he felt were entitled to the same kindness and hospitality when in distress as would a guest. Jefferson engaged personally in erecting barracks for the privates and establishing accommodations for the officers, made arrangements for supplies and was tireless in his endeavors to render the situation of the captives comfortable. He even took the lead in befriending the prisoners. His efforts were no sooner crowned with success, however, than the governor of Virginia, Patrick Henry, determined to remove the prisoners from Charlottesville. This would have caused much hardship and Jefferson wrote Henry opposing the measure, saying “The practice...of treating captive enemies with politeness and generosity is not only delightful in contemplation, but really interesting to all the world, friends, foes, and neutrals..."" Henry relented - the proposition to move the troops was abandoned and they were permitted to remain at Charlottesville.Governor JeffersonJefferson took office as governor of Virginia in June 1779, and his relationship to the Convention troops changed, as their maintenance became his ever-present task. They were a financial burden to the state, the treasury of which was practically empty. In the fall he felt compelled to write a letter he must have hated to send, telling the Continental Congress that Virginia needed help if it was to supply the Convention troops. Then in 1780 it became even harder as the state became an active theater of war.In Governor Jefferson’s first months in office, Virginia already faced threats that it had never known during Patrick Henry’s administration. From 1776 to 1779, Virginia had remained largely untouched by enemy operations, except Indian raids on its western frontier. During that same period, the state became a granary, magazine, and arsenal for American armies fighting to the north and south. Jefferson encountered the misfortune that British officials decided to do something about Virginia’s supporting role in the Revolution just as he became governor. In 1779, the British began a series of increasingly destructive raids along the coasts and up the rivers of Virginia. As these incursions grew in size and penetrated ever more deeply into its countryside, Virginia’s economy suffered, and concerns grew that the British would rescue the Convention Army and use it for reinforcements.James Wood, a future governor of Virginia, was colonel of the 12th Virginia Regiment and commanded that unit during the Philadelphia and Monmouth campaigns. He was appointed Superintendent of the Convention Army when the prisoners were moved to Charlottesville, and continued in that post all through Jefferson’s term as governor. As liaison between the American side and the Convention troops, he was charged with actually getting supplies to the prisoners. By late 1780, his job had become a difficult one indeed as funds were not available to make necessary purchases. Not only was Jefferson actively involved in monitoring the situation, but with the added focus on the Convention Army, it had attracted the attention of General George Washington, who wanted things handled properly.General Washington becomes involvedOn August 25, Wood wrote directly to George Washington, ""Whenever there was a Deficiency of Meat, they had the Liberty of Drawing a Double allowance of Indian Meal, with Assurances from me, that the Difference between the Value of the Meat and Indian Meal, shou’d be Made good to them, which they always refused... Our Supplies of Animal food have been so Partial since the first of May that we are in Arrear to the Troops of Convention Near Seventy Days Allowance. I have Often & repeatedly represented the Situation of the Post to the Board of War, and Executive of the State, and was always referred by the former, to the Latter, but finding that Nothing Effectual was likely to be Done, I thought it My Duty to attend the Assembly of Virginia then Siting, where I stated in the fullest Manner the Distressed Situation of the Post; the Assembly took up the matter, and Passed an Act, Appointing Commissioners in the Circumjacent Counties, with Powers to Seize live Stock for the use of the Post, since which I have been Constantly Exerting Myself, aided by the Executive of the State, to have the Law Carried into Execution, & have hopes that in a few Days we shall be Better Supplied. Since the Scarcity Prevailed many Desertions have taken Place Among the Troops of Convention.""Just 7 days earlier, Francis Tate, a deputy commissary, had traveled to the state legislature to secure funding to purchase meat, at which time the Deputy Governor, noting the absence of Governor Jefferson, had secured 50,000 pounds.Brigadier General James Hamilton, on August 24, had written to Washington, stating the lack of ability to secure meat. ""When Mutton Was brought to the Barracks & offer’d the Continental Comissaries they never had a farthing to pay for them, the same must happen in the Country even after the Comissioners have Sequestred Provisions for the use of the Public.""Jefferson wrote to Washington four days later lamenting the arrears in meat given to the Convention troops. He had, he claimed, done what could be done to provide the Convention Troops with food consistent with that of the guards.But as some of the accommodations offered the Convention Troops by Wood had been refused, as he noted above, there was some concern that, with new powers and funds, efforts to make them whole would also be refused. Jefferson, having forwarded Washington letters on the state of affairs and led him to believe that things would improve and that all that could be done was being done, wanted to make sure that representations made to General Washington would not be undone by actions of the Convention Troops themselves.Letter Signed, Richmond, Va., September 14, 1780, to Colonel Wood. “Mr. Tate informs me you are now in condition to pay up the arrearages of animal food due the Convention troops, but that he supposed they would not receive them. If you be really in such condition I should be glad to have the arrearages tendered, and if refused a proper certificate of the fact, that I may transmit it to General Washington and prevent any disagreeable consequences from the representations already forwarded to him.”Wood wrote two letters upon receiving the above. With Washington, he intervened directly, stating on September 21 that “the Convention troops have been fully supplied for the last three weeks...and that I shall have it within my power within a few days to begin paying up the arrears...”He apparently told Jefferson a less promising story, however, as Jefferson’s letter to Wood of September 23 reads “I am sorry the supplies of provisions to the troops have been less than Mr. Tate represented them,” and lets Wood know “There is no probability of a supply of money to your purchasing commissary till the meeting of assembly.” That same day, Jefferson wrote Washington what Wood had written him, and himself took a defensive - hard to pin down and hard to criticize - position on the issue, saying “That Post [Charlottesville] has been for some time past pretty regularly supplied, and I hope will continue to be for some time...” He then added that Wood was threatening to quit his job and that “the public good” required that he remain in place. It is fascinating seeing both Jefferson and Wood position themselves with Washington to receive the least blame, should blame he assess.In October 1780, the British began active ground operations in Virginia, and Jefferson, who had previously opposed the Convention Army’s removal, changed his mind. He wrote to President of Congress Samuel Huntington on October 26 that “The Executive of this State think it expedient and necessary that under our present circumstances the prisoners of war under the convention of Saratoga, be removed from their present situation. Many circumstances have led to this necessity. It will be utterly impracticable as long as they remain with us to prevent the hostile army now in this state from being reinforced by numerous desertions from this corps...” The Convention army was uprooted and transferred to Frederick, Maryland, outside Jefferson’s purview.

Title: An embossed silver-gilt binding, on a suite of 17th-century engravings of saints
Author: ROCOCO SILVER BINDING
Seller: Musinsky Rare Books, Inc. (United States)
Description: The binding probably Augsburg, 1750. Agenda-format, binding size 155 x 78 x 24 mm. Contents: 143 small engravings (all but the first 48-50 x 35-37 mm., the first, mounted sideways, measuring 50 x 97 mm.), consisting of 11 engravings for each saint, trimmed to borders and mounted on 78 leaves of wove paper. 18th-century German silver-gilt embossed binding (regilt in the 19th century), both covers with a large oval cartouche, containing a scene of the Crucifixion on the upper cover and the Resurrection on lower cover, both covers with cherubs within ornamental foliage at the four corners, the pair at top holding a cartouche with a scene of the Entombment on upper cover, and the Ascension on lower cover, the pair at the foot holding laurel wreaths and flanking a winged angel’s head; spine with embossed flowers, ribbons and foliate ornaments above and below a central scene of Moses with the brazen serpent, at top a monogram of the letters CJ; two chased metal fore-edge clasps, attaching on upper cover; lined in later (19th-century) green watered silk, edges gilt and gauffered. Housed in a folding cloth felt-lined folding case, upper cover with morocco gilt label with Abbey’s named coat of arms; his paper shelf-mark label JA 2680 on lower cover. Provenance: unidentified monogram on binding; Major John Roland Abbey (1894-1969), bookplate on case; see Hayward, Silver Bindings, no. 17; Bernard Breslauer, anonymous sale, Sotheby’s, 10 May, 1985, “Silver and Enamel Bindings,” lot 26 (unsold).*** A stunning embossed silver-gilt binding, almost certainly produced in Augsburg, from the collection of Major Abbey. The binding dates from the “last phase of baroque and the fully developed rococo” (Hayward), the final, culminating period of Augsburg craftsmanship in embossed silver. Describing this binding and two others from the collection, Hayward wrote: “the most finely worked book-covers in the Abbey Collection date from the second quarter of the Eighteenth Century.... The subjects are the familiar scenes from the life of Christ, but treated even in the small compass of a book-cover with extraordinary dramatic force.... The designs were probably derived from a contemporary illustrated Bible, but their effectiveness is greatly enhanced by the relief in which they are rendered, and by the strong contrasts of light and shade” (p. [3]). To accentuate the pathos, the silversmith or designer chose to highlight minor characters: in the dramatic Crucifixion scene the most deeply embossed figures, occupying the foreground, are two soldiers throwing dice at the foot of the cross; similarly the centurion is the largest and most solid figure in the Resurrection scene on the lower cover. The binding encloses an album of 143 fine small unsigned 17th-century, probably Flemish engravings of Franciscan saints, neatly mounted on wove paper. The Antwerp engraver and print publisher Philips Galle had initiated the vogue for “Franciscan” prints with his series of engravings of the Life of St. Francis, first produced before 1580 (cf. Sellink, pp. 129-131). The present suite contains 13 series, each with 11 small engravings depicting a saint or group of saints, as follows: St. Francis, The 5 Martyred Saints, the 7 Martyred Saints, Anthony of Padua, Bonaventura, Ludovicus Episcopius, Bernardino of Siena, John of Capestrano, Didacus (Diego of Alcalá), Clare of Assisi, Elizabeth of Hungary (S. Elizabeth vidua), Louis (of France) and Elzear. With one exception (John of Capestrano instead of St. Ivo of Brittany), these were the saints chosen by Hendrik Sedulius, guardian of the Antwerp Franciscans, for his Imagines Sanctorum Francisci, printed and illustrated by Philips Galle in 1602, but that quarto-format work only includes one large engraving per saint, each accompanied by a page of text. The exact source of this more extensive small format suite remains to be identified. Each engraving has a caption citing a chapter number. Major John Roland Abbey assembled the largest English book collection of his generation. His first love was bindings, and among these he brought together an exceptional group of silver bindings, some of which were described and illustrated by John F. Hayward in an article published in The Connoisseur in 1952. The present binding is number 17; Hayward noted its earlier regilding, as well as the “fine quality” of the embossing. Bernard Breslauer later bought the collection en bloc from Abbey’s widow, “and in 1985 Bernard consigned the collection (with some additions from his own stock) to Sotheby’s London. Despite Sotheby’s well-illustrated and informative catalogue, the sale was calamitous: of the fifty-eight silver and enamel bindings, only fourteen met the reserve” (Laird, p. 67). This binding was not one of them. Cf. M. S. Sellink, Philips Galle (1537-1612): engraver and print publisher in Haarlem and Antwerp (PhD Thesis,Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, 1997, online). J. F. Hayward, Silver Bindings from the J. R. Abbey Collection, offprint from The Connoisseur, October 1952. Cf. M. Laird, “Bernd (Bernard) Hartmut Breslauer (1918-2004): A Personal Memoir,” Gazette of the Grolier Club 72 (2023), 59-92. Thanks to Mr. Laird for sharing the sale results from B. Breslauer’s own catalogue, in his possession.

Title: Reglamento Interior del Comite de "Lawton" del Movimiento Rivolucionario "26 de Julio"
Author: CUBAN REVOLUTION - WOMEN
Seller: Palinurus Antiquarian Books (United States)
Condition: Very good.
Description: Havana, April 3, 1959, "ANO DE LA LIBERACION". As issued.. Very good.. Six leaves (12 pp., last page blank) measuring appx. 165 x 108 mm.; mimeographed with purple ink. Pages are cut and hand-stapled; some pages bearing a faint irregular remnant of a perimeter line (presumably designating the line to cut on to make the pages uniform in size) from the mimeograph sheet on which they were originally printed as a unit. A signed presentation from Camilo Cienfuegos to his comrades in the movement. The inscription is in ink on the front wrapper. It reads: 28 de Marzo / 59 / A los Compañeros del movimiento: / Tes Agradeseo de los Conceptos, que aqui / exponen, que Consideren én todos los aspecto, La integracion en sus filas / alas mujeros. Ya que, senán un gran apoyo, a todas, sus actividades. / Su eterno Compañero / Camilo Cienfuegos. Regis Debray wrote of the "revolution in the revolution" in reference to Cuba and what he identified, then, as a new, vital motive force powering and accelerating the ascent of the people's revolution. Here is proof of that extraordinary dynamic at work. Cienfuegos, a leading figure in the revolution, engaged with left-wing politics from an early age, going on to join the opposition movement against the dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista. He joined Castro's 26th of July Movement on its expedition to Cuba and was one of the survivors of the landing of the Granma in 1956. He quickly distinguished himself as one of the top commanders of the Cuban Revolutionary Armed Forces and a popular leading figure of the revolution, becoming close friends with Che Guevara during their guerrilla campaign in Las Villas. After winning the Battle of Yaguajay in December 1958, Cienfuegos led the capture of Matanzas and Havana, where he was appointed as commander-in-chief of the armed forces by the new revolutionary government. He was killed in an airplane wreck in Oct. 1959. This pamphlet dates from the heady, earliest days of the takeover; power not yet consolidated. It sets out to establish the operating principles of a revolutionary council of governance in the Lawton District of Havana (a district where Cienfuegos had attended school). Among the usual departments of finance, propaganda, administrative (a total of 6 separate entities) there was one dedicated to women. The responsibilities were, at best, amorphous: " ... sera la encargada de establecer contactos entre la simpatixantes del movimiento Revolucionario, para atraer las al sono de nuestro Comité y compartir como dignas ciudadanas ...." It is of considerable interest that Cienfuegos would chose this to highlight in the inscription. There is no copy of this pamphlet located; such "working" documents from the earliest days are rare survivals, especially given the number of expected copies that could have been produced in this manner.
