Description
quarto, two page autograph letter signed, old folds and creases otherwise very good. Rene Auguste Chouteau, to whom this letter was written, was assistant to Pierre Laclede in the founding of St. Louis in 1763-1764. For some time, under the Spanish regime, he and his half brother Pierre traded among the Osage Indians, but chiefly he was identified with St. Louis, of which by his death in 1829 he had become the wealthiest citizen and largest landholder. Born in New Orleans, he had connections there all his life, particularly in the mercantile field, as exemplified by the present letter, which is written in French. Cavelier & Fils were the agents of the fur traders in New Orleans. This letter replies to a letter of May 26th, received by "le Courrier," in which Chouteau had ordered various goods. It touches on various business affairs and also mentions two names significant in the history of the fur trade, "Mr. Robidou," the elder Joseph Robidoux, and "James Makay", the former Nor'Wester who a decade earlier had headed operations on the upper Missouri of the "Missouri Company" and by this time, had become a solid citizen of St. Louis.

Description
New York: Lee Furman, Inc.. Good. (c.1936). First Edition. Hardcover. (no dust jacket) [decent reading/research copy, moderate wear to extremities, lightly bumped at several corners, a bit more so at top corner of front cover, some soiling to edges of text block, spine very slightly turned, hinges a little tender]. Novel set in a small fishing community on the outer coast of Nova Scotia, about an American musician who comes into town, ingratiates himself with the residents, and seduces a local girl, with unhappy consequences. A contemporary reviewer observed that the book "successfully captures the atmosphere and tempo and character of life in a remote province," but another warned readers to not mistake this "tightly written little tragedy [for a] novel of local color." .
