Condición: Very good. November 26, 1929., 1929. Very good. - A 3-1/4 inch high by 3-3/8 inch wide sienna toned photograph clipped from a periodical depicting the former U.S. Secretary of State Frank B. Kellogg receiving the "Doctor's Bonnet", honorary Doctor of Civil Law degree, from England's Oxford University. Mounted on 4-1/2 inch high by 4 inch wide tan stock, the photo is signed in full "Frank B. Kellogg" by the former U.S. Secretary of State and another unidentified person. Folded in half vertically, resulting in a crease, else very good. The American lawyer, politician and statesman Frank Billings Kellogg (1856-1937) served in the U.S. Senate and as the U.S. Ambassador to the United Kingdom before being appointed as U.S. Secretary of State by Calvin Coolidge, serving in that office from March 1925 to March 1929. He subsequently served as an Associate Judge of the Permanent Court of International Justice. Kellogg was awarded the 1929 Nobel Peace Prize as the co-author of the Kellogg-Briand Pact, a treaty renunciating war as an instrument of national policy.…

Condición: Very good. [New York], November 14, 1932., 1932. Very good. - Over 85 words typed on his 8-5/8 inch high by 6-1/2 inch wide "90 Broad Street" stationery. Addressing the young campaign volunteer Seymour J. Halpern, William J. Donovan, the future head of the Office of Strategic Services, writes, "We have been through a hard fight together. We did not win the title but we did a real job." He goes on to show his appreciation to the young autograph collector, "I want you to know that I appreciate that the fight could not have been fought as it was if it had not been for your continued loyalty and support. Please accept this as my symbol of appreciation." Signed in full "William J. Donovan". Donovan ran for Governor of New York State to succeed FDR in 1932. A Republican, he lost to Herbert Lehman. Folded in half for mailing, the edges are soiled and there are tears to the edges of the fold. Very good. To house his law firm, in March of 1932 Colonel William J. Donovan leased a large suite of offices in the Stone & Webster Building at 90 Broad Street in New York City. The American attorney, diplomat, soldier, and intelligence officer William J. Donovan (1883-1959) is best known as the head of the OSS, the Office of Strategic Services which was the war time precursor to the CIA. A veteran of World War I, Donovan was awarded the Medal of Honor, the Distinguished Service Cross, the Distinguished Service Medal, and the National Security Medal. In 1941, FDR established the Office of the Coordination of Information with Donovan as its director. Once the U.S. entered the war, the COI became the OSS in June of 1942 with Donovan, now a major general, as its head. Donovan created the OSS as a military psychological warfare service, to include both psychological and unconventional warfare. The service would soon include elements that would be called "special operations" the first phase of which would be intelligence penetration, including research and analysis and propaganda, followed by a second stage incorporating sabotage and subversion. This second stage would be followed by guerilla action, commando raids, and support of resistance movements. An avid autograph collector in his youth, the then 19-year old campaign volunteer, the future Queens, New York Republican Congressman Seymour Halpern (1913-1997) started his political career as a campaign aide to New York's powerful mayor Fiorella La Guardia and first served in New York's State Senate for 14 years before seeking a seat in the U.S. Congress. In Albany Halpern sponsored 279 bills that became law, including measures on schools, housing, civil rights, nutrition and mental health. A Liberal, he was something of an anomaly as the lone Republican representative from New York City, and generally garnered support from Labor Unions and endorsement from the Liberal Party. Yet he never even considered switching parties as he considered membership in the Republican Party a family tradition and commitment. While he found ample time for his private pursuits, including painting and collecting autographs, he took his legislative duties very seriously. Of these, he was proudest of his co-sponsorship of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and of the original 1965 Medicare legislation. …

Condición: Very good. Washington, 28th March, 1818., 1818. Very good. - One-and-a-quarter pages, consisting of over 155 words penned on two sides of a 9-3/4 inch high by 8 inch wide sheet with an integral address leaf. In his letter, Henry Clay the Speaker of the House, introduces the Colombian diplomat Manuel Torres to Secretary of the Treasury William Harris Crawford. "Allow me to present to you M. Torres Eq. the bearer hereof, whose acquaintance I have had the pleasure to have for a year or two past." Torres, who was also an economist, proposed a new way by which to make revenue collection and spending more efficient. "Mr. Torres supposes that he has made a discovery of an error in the fiscal operations of our Country by which it is annually subjected to great loss. He has thought of presenting to Congress a petition to invite the appointment of a committee to receive & judge of this discovery." He closes "I have ventured to assure him that you will give him a reception in accord with your known candor & liberality." "Signed "H. Clay". Additionally addressed by Clay in his hand on the integral leaf. Folded vertically and horizontally with a portion of a red wax seal along the edge of the blank verso of the address leaf. There are a couple of tiny holes at the junction of the folds with a small tear at the bottom of the seal. Very good. The American lawyer and statesman Henry Clay (1777-1852) represented Kentucky in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives. He served as Speaker of the House, the youngest one until then and the second longest to hold that position. He subsequently served as Secretary of State under John Quincy Adams. Clay helped found both the National Republican Party and the Whig Party, unsuccessfully running for President on 3 occasions. He was often known as the "Great Compromiser" for his role in defusing crises and, alongside Daniel Webster and John C. Calhoun was considered one of the "Great Triumvirate" of Congressmen. The American politician William Harris Crawford (1772-1834) served as U.S. Secretary of War and subsequently as U.S. Secretary of the Treasury. The Colombian diplomat, publicist and economist Manuel de Trujillo y Torres (1762-1822) became Colombia's first Ambassador to the U.S., being received by President James Monroe in 1822. This was the first recognition by the U.S. of the independence of a former Spanish colony. He foresaw the economic depression of 1818-1819 which was largely caused by the dwindling reserve of gold and silver, and championed the importation of specie from South America to bolster both the U.S. and Colombian economies. In 1818, through his rapport with Henry Clay, he suggested to Congress that he'd discovered a new way of making revenue collection and spending more efficient. He would reveal his approach if he was promised a share of the savings. The proposal was referred to the House Ways and Means Committee, but they found it too complex. "Foreseeing the calamitous results of a specie shortage, Torres early championed the importation of specie from South America. His plan was supported by Langdon Gheves, president of the second bank of the United States and by others who realized that the economic depression of 1818-1819 was largely caused by the dwindling reserve of gold and silver. William Duane, editor of the Philadelphia Aurora and a personal friend of Torres, roundly abused the government for neglecting the opportunity to procure many million dollars worth of specie from Mexico and South America, specie 'which would have averted the present distresses of the nation.'" "The crusading editor was determined that Torres' ideas for fiscal reform should not go unnoticed. In a letter to Secretary of State James Monroe, Duane expressed hope that Torres would be permitted to reveal to the Department of State 'some financial views which I consider of the greatest value and worth the attention of the Government.'" . "On April 1, 1818, Henry Clay brought before the House of Representatives a memorial stating that Torres '. [had] discovered that the United States sustains great loss in the receipt and expenditure of the public revenue; and that he . [had] also discovered the means by which this loss may be avoided.' Torres offered to submit his findings 'upon the assurance of receiving a portion of the moneys which may be saved to the public by means of . said discovery.'" [Quoted from Charles H. Bowman Jr.'s article "Financial Plans and Operations of Manuel Torres in Philadelphia", published in "Records of the American Catholic Historical Society of Philadelphia, Vol. 82, No. 2 (June 1971), pp. 106-116].…

4to. 7 pages, approximately 1200 words in a completely legible hand, on lined stationery, with the embossed stamp of Evans and Cogswell, Charleston. Docketed on the verso of the final leaf "July 15 1861 / James Simons / to / Governor Pickens / Reply to Letter / of Gov. P / 11 July 1861." Brigadier General James Simons's draft copy of a letter further explaining his reasons for resigning his command, given in reply to a July 11 letter from Gov. Pickens that apparently had quarreled with earlier correspondence from Simons, responding point by point, to criticisms he feels the Governor has leveled against him over differences of opinion regarding the military defensibility of Charleston Harbor. Most, if not all, of the Pickens-Simons correspondence concerning this matter has been published; the James Simons papers at the University of South Carolina holds correspondence from Pickens, but we have not been able to locate the original manuscripts or other drafts for the Simons portion of this correspondence. Old tideline from dampstaining, with professional conservation work, cleaning the paper, restoring chipped areas along the lower edge through leaf-casting, and completing several letters and marks with matching manuscript on four leaves. Folded for mailing or filing. (61444) (9835). Following the Union Army take over of Fort Sumter by Major Robert Anderson on December 26, 1860, just six days after South Carolina seceded from the Union, Gov. Pickens directed Major General Schinierle to occupy Fort Moultrie, Fort Johnson, and Castle Pinckney, and to establish a battery on Morris Island to prevent, at all costs, the reinforcement of Anderson's men. Simons, as commander of the 4th Brigade of the Charleston Militia, was second in command of the defenses for the harbor, occupying the critical spot at Morris Island at the harbor's entrance. He expressed his concerns over the defense of the harbor in a six-page report to the Governor on January 1, 1861: "I cannot sacrifice to matter of Etiquette questions and issues of such momentous importance as now surround us . The line of operations embraces four points 1) Fort Moultrie 2) Castle Pinckney 3) Fort Johnson 4) Morris Island. By the map which accompanies this paper, it will appear that your lines of communication with these points . are directly within the range and effective power of Fort Sumter - the Citadel of the Harbour controlling every point. At the first return of fire from Fort Sumter, your lines of communication are utterly cut off." He goes on to report: "Fort Moultrie - This position is wholly untenable - Lt. Col. De Saussure . gave you prompt notice of this fact on the morning after his occupation." To this Gov. Pickens responded with great offense, insinuating that Simons was counseling abandonment of the harbor defenses. Simons' first letter of resignation came almost immediately, on January 8, but he was prevailed upon by the Secretary of War to withdraw it. The 4th Brigade, under Simons command led the first attack on Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861. The controversy between Simons and the Governor continued to simmer until a few months after Anderson and his Union forces had surrendered Fort Sumter. By July, in spite of Simons' successes defending the Charleston harbor, he again offered his resignation. Gov. Pickens apparently wrote to refute Simons arguments. Simon replies in this lengthy manuscript letter: "I had hoped I would not have been obliged to extend this correspondence but I am sure your sense of justice will indulge me a letter further. I have assigned among other reasons for resigning, that you have not shown that recognition which appeared to be due to me as a general officer. I detailed several instances, but confined myself to the facts, neither canvassing nor questioning your intuition or motive. You reply, that you do not think my reasons for resigning are sufficient, yet you adopt a line of argument to arrive at this conclusion, which not only admits the facts I have stated but is founded . on a settled intention not to consult me, and why? Because on two occasions having been called into council & my opinion specially asked, I ventured to differ from you & express opinions not in conformity with yours. In other words my rank position & counsel as a public officer were to be overlooked, because I did not yield acquiescence to that which did not accord with my honest convictions . I must ask your indulgence a little longer. You say, that about the 29 December I made "a regular Military Protest" against everything you had done, or prepared to do, & demanded a council of War. That on the 3 day of January last you endorsed on the back of my demand for a council of War, that you could agree to no council of War that would drive you to any such conclusions. Permit me in justice to myself, to show you the mistaken impressions under which you seem to labour. The date of my Report was 1 Jany & not 29 December. This date is important as you will see. I respectfully ask leave to correct your misapprehension also as to its being a 'regular Military Protest.' It appears to me that you are mistaken. The paper I sent to you was a Report on the defense of the Harbour of Charleston. I sent it to you because on 31 Dec. 1860 you directed Major Genl. Schinierle in you own words as follows -'You are now ordered to see and attend particularly to the objects & the commands I have detailed to you above, & further purpose you are directed to call into requisition and council the valuable aid and co-operation of Brigadier General Simons.' Thus called and in pursuance of my responsibility and duty as Brigadier General I made a Report of my examination of the Harbour & my opinion thereon. That it was a Report & not a Protest, I cite your excellency as both witness & judge. On the 2 Jany. You say in a letter to me, 'Your Extraordinary report I received last night & have only to say that I do not pretend that the orders & disposition of the f.…
