3pp., 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged. Replying to a request for autographs, he is sending 'an Envelope addressed by my Father' and (writing in a postscript) another 'addressed to me by the Dean of Westminster', but he 'cannot give you one of the great Niebuhr'. He agrees with Clarke's 'feeling as to possessing something coming from, or belonging to some great or good man. It is a link - as is the signature of a loved friend or companion, with the unseen world.' He enquires after Clarke's health, and recalls 'calling at your School once - & another time at your house'. He ends in the hope that 'Mr & Mrs. Cholmondeley will be spared to you all very many years!'.

12mo, 3 pp. Fair, on lightly-aged paper. Not knowing whether Dallas is returned, he draws 'a bow at a venture', hoping that his 'arrows are not "bitter words"'. He intends to visit Galway, and asks Dallas to 'write me a line to mark out the desirable points to visit & a few hints as to where to stop'. He will be staying with William Cooper of Markree Castle, County Sligo. In 1842 Dallas established the Irish Church Missions, 'Soupers' which were particularly active in Galway during the Potato Famine.

Although she lived much of her life in poverty, she was the daughter of William John Kerr, 5th Marquess of Lothian, and Elizabeth Parkerwith whom Kerr had formed a liaison following the death of his wife in 1780. As told in Hart's memoir in Heath Blossoms, her mother died at Farnham, Surrey, in 1793, leaving two infant daughters. Kerr took in the children, raised them, and provided for them through his will. However, Mary's marriage to Mr. Hart led Kerr to revoke this provision for her and, instead, she was left £1000 on his death in 1815. This sum proved inadequate when Mr. Hart was found to be both bankrupt and insane. She seems to have published nothing after 1835. She may be the Mary Kerr Hart whose 1869 death is recorded in Ancestry documents." - See Jackson Bibliography Of Romantic Poetry .

ONE: Hair's six letters to 'My Dear Sir John [Phillipart]', editor of the Naval and Military Gazette. (One of the letters has 'Sir John Phillipart' named as the addressee.) In fair condition, lightly aged and worn. The five complete letters total 15pp., 12mo. Only the first part of the incomplete letter is present, and it is 4pp., 4to, on a bifolium. The letters mostly concern the Duke of Richmond, and Hair's position within the Duke's household is described in his obituary in the Dumfries Courier, reprinted in the Glasgow Daily Herald, 22 December 1869: 'After his retirement from the army [in 1843], Dr Hair became a resident in the family of his attached friend the late Duke of Richmond, acting as the Duke's medical attendant and confidential adviser. About three years ago, while still in good health, but urged by the infirmities of age, he retired from the position he had so long occupied in the Richmond family by all members of which he was very cordially and affectionately esteemed to his own residence in his native town of Sanquhar'. In the first dated letter, 10 June 1848, Hair expresses a desire to put himself 'in a Piccadilly Bus' and visit Phillipart at College House, in order to 'talk matters over'. He also refers to Lord Londonderry's 'most disgusting' conduct in the House of Lords, described to him over breakfast that morning by the Duke. On 23 July 1851 Hair expresses his regret that Lord Salisbury has not 'at once met your offer of your Services for the Commission of the Peace; - but, it appears to me that he evidently will do so'. On 3 March 1852 he states that he has handed Phillipart's letter to the Duke that morning, and quotes his response: 'If I recollect right when I spoke to Lord Salisbury His Lordship had some objections not only to increasing the Number of Magistrates but also to that of the Division or Benches; - However tell Sir John that, as I am likely to meet Lord Salisbury very soon I will take the first opportunity of again speaking to Him, not only on the subject of the Magistracy, but also on tat of the Deputy Lieutenancy.' In one of the undated letters Hair reminds Phillipart that the Duke will be 'more than occupied with the Duties devolving on him as President of the Great Cattle Show of the Royal Agricultural Society of England'. He ends the letter with an appeal for Phillipart's 'Kind Assistance in the Way of Money from 8 or 900 friends of the War Medal whose names do not, as yet, grace the Subscription List'. The other undated letter is the incomplete one, and it describes the War Medal Testimonial dinner given in honour of the Duke. In it Hair writes that, having been at Goodwood, he has since 'passed a Considerable portion of Thursday with our mutual friend Capt. Scott'. - Preparatory to his giving you tomorrow afternoon, or evening, the results of our this day's Concoction, on all matters connected with our really brilliant and most enthusiastic Dinner Party of last Saturday. We talked every thing over, and over again, and agreed in all that he was to lay before you, for the Naval and Military Gazette of next Saturday [] the Duke and Duchess are more delighted more gratified than any language can express. - His Grace said it certainly was the proudest day of his life, and, while life remains in him, his gratitude would know no bounds. - To see upwards of 200 Warriors of both Services from all quarters of the United Kingdom gathered together to do homage to Him was almost more than manly courage, and fortitude of the highest order, could bear without being moved. The Duchess being in the Gallery on Lord Salisbury's proposing the Duke's health, together with the enthusiastic burst of Applause which instantly followed, was, I am given to understand, fairly & completely upset.' The Duke has gone to Goodwood, but is anxious that his speech praising members of the armed forces 'should be detailed & done justice to (all the Reporters having left when the Toast was given)'. The Duke 'intended to devote part of the day to putting the leading features of it on paper', and 'promised to Scott to send it to his Lodgings in Brompton, tomorrow morning, the moment it comes into my hands'. He is glad Phillipart intends to do something 'to induce those Recipients whose addresses we have not been able to procure, and who have not yet subscribed, to come forward with their Subscriptions of this Class there are still at least from 8 to 9 Hundred, or more. The letter ends with promise of an anecdote regarding the Duke's treatment of '2 or 3 Blind Veterans' at the dinner. TWO: Printed circular. 3pp., 4to. Bifolium. With two closed tears, otherwise in fair condition, on lightly aged paper. First page carries a letter from Honorary Secretaries Captain John Robb and Major J. H. Cooke, regarding the 'desire [] generally expressed by the recipients of the War Medal to present to the DUKE OF RICHMOND some Testimonial to mark their sense of gratitude for the unwearied zeal, perseverance, and ability with which his GRACE devoted his energies to their service, and brought their claims to a successful issue'. On the second page and the top part of the third page is a long list of the 'Members forming the General Committee', and its sub-committees in London, Edinburgh and Dublin. The remaining part of the third page reproduces propositions made at the meeting by seven individuals beginning with Rear-Admiral Sir William Henry Dillon. No other copy traced on COPAC.

3 SS. auf Doppelblatt. 8vo. Mit eh. Adresse (Faltbrief). Schreiben von Karl Carvacchis Bruder an denselben zu den Vorkommnissen während der Schleswig-Holsteinischen Erhebung nach den Gefechten in Kolding: "So eben geht die Nachricht ein daß die Dänen gestern das von den Deutschen vorgestern eroberte stark verschanzte Kolding mit ihren ganzen Macht (Nordkorps) etwa 18.000 Mann angegriffen und die deutschen Vortruppen daraus nach blutiger Gegenwehr vertrieben haben, daß aber hierauf unsere aus 12 Bataillonen 8 Schwadronen u. 3 Batterien bestehende Nord-Armee unter General Bonin jene Stadt wieder erobert [.] Der frühere Cabinets Minister u. der ärgste Feind Schlesiens ist gefangen, und wird heute hier bei Rendsburg eingebracht [.]". - Die von Herzog Ernst II. von Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha geführten Gefechte bei Eckernförde und jene unter General Eduard von Bonin in Kolding leiteten 1849 den Vorstoß nach Dänemark ein, nachdem die Dänen den Frieden von Malmö gebrochen hatten. - Der kurhessische Verwaltungsbeamte Carvacchi, seit 1833 zum Zollverein nach Münster abgeordnet, war eng mit Annette von Droste-Hülshoff bekannt. Als Mitglied mehrerer historischer Vereine legte er eine Sammlung an Funden an, die beim Verein für hessische Geschichte und Landeskunde in Neukirchen sowie beim Verein zur Erforschung der Rheinischen Geschichte in Mainz erhalten geblieben ist. - Mit Redaktionsvermerk in Rotstift, Sammlervermerk in Bleistift und kleinem Randausriss durch Brieföffnung.

4 SS. auf Doppelblatt. Folio. Ausführlicher Brief von Karl Carvacchis Bruder an denselben über die Schleswig-Holsteinische Erhebung, General von Bonin, die Einnahme der Düppeler Höhen, berufliche Aufgaben im Bereich der militärischen Befestigung und den Nord-Ost-Kanal bei Sundeved sowie die Meerenge von Alsen. Auch ein kleiner Bericht zur Bergung der Wrackteile der "Christian VIII." ist enthalten: "Von Tage zu Tage sinkt meine Hoffnung und mein Vertrauen auf eine glückliche oder auch nur erträgliche Lösung der Schleswigholst. Frage [.] Früher hoffte General v. Bonin das Commando in Sundewitt zu erhalten u. da hatte er mich zum Führer des Fortificatorischen Angriffs bereits ernannt; seit der General v. Prittwitz das Commando führt, hat sich das auch mit mir geändert. Meine gegenwärtigen Funktionen beschränken sich nächst Rendsburg auf die fernere Vervollständigung der Küstenbefestigung [.] Ich habe in dieser Canal Sache schon viel gearbeitet und bin sozusagen bereits am Ende, wie ich überhaupt meine Mission als vollendet betrachte und meine Abberufung beantragen werde, zu mal ich durch einen Wagensturz lahm geworden bin und keine 100 Schritt ohne Schmerz zurücklegen kann [.] Christian der 8te muß jetzt herhalten, schon sind mehrere Kanonen u. Zubehör auf dem Trockenen, auch sind curioserweise eine Anzahl Flaschen Champagner unversehrt zu Tage gefördert und hie ihrem Schicksal nicht entgangen [.]". - Der kurhessische Verwaltungsbeamte Carvacchi, seit 1833 zum Zollverein nach Münster abgeordnet, war eng mit Annette von Droste-Hülshoff bekannt.

4 SS. auf Doppelblatt. 8vo. Schreiben von Karl Carvacchis Bruder an denselben über die Schlacht bei Eckernförde während der Schleswig-Holsteinischen Erhebung, über die aufgegebene dänische Fregatte "Gefion" und die Zerstörung des dänischen Linienschiffs "Christian VIII.": "Ich war 2 Tage vor dem Gefecht in Eckernförde u. inspicirte die dortigen Küstenbefestigungen, zu welcher Zeit die Kugeln schon glüheten, wer hätte es gedacht, daß es so bald los gehen sollte [.] Die Zerstörung der Christian der VIII ist grausam, noch liegt der untere Theil des prächtigen Schiffs etwa 250 Schritt vor der Südbatterie im Waßer u. gibt ein Bild eines Freigeistes wie es nicht oft vorkommt [.] die Küstenbatterien sind wie mit Kugeln gepflastert, aber weder ist irgend eine Brustwehr abgekämmt noch sind die Blockhäuser zerstört [.] jezt ist der Strand mit Millionen Holz-Trümmer bedeckt, und ein Chaos dort vorhanden, was nicht bunt scheckiger u. dabey grausamer sein kann, so wie auch unsäglich verbrannte u. zerstümmelte Leichen aufschwimmen [.]". - Die dänischen Kriegsschiffe "Gefion" und "Christian VIII." trieben im Verlauf des Angriffs auf Eckernförde wegen Ostwinds weiter in die Bucht hinein, eine Lage, aus der sie ohne Schlepphilfe nicht entkommen konnten, und griffen die Stadt dennoch an. Deutsche Geschütze beschossen die Schiffe, die schließlich manövrierunfähig wurden; die "Christian VIII." war zudem auf Grund gelaufen und explodierte nach der Kapitulation, während der weitestgehend abgeschlossenen Ausschiffung der Besatzungen. - Der kurhessische Verwaltungsbeamte Carvacchi, seit 1833 zum Zollverein nach Münster abgeordnet, war eng mit Annette von Droste-Hülshoff bekannt. Als Mitglied mehrerer historischer Vereine legte er eine Sammlung an Funden an, die beim Verein für hessische Geschichte und Landeskunde in Neukirchen sowie beim Verein zur Erforschung der Rheinischen Geschichte in Mainz erhalten geblieben ist. - Papierbedingt leicht gebräunt; sehr gut erhalten.
