Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Having moved from Salem to Belfast in 1807, Read quickly realized the need for a school, for the needs of the community and his children, launching his effort to build something from the ground up; instrumental in its establishment, Read served on the schools Board of Trustees until his death. Old fold lines to most, some other light storage wear and soiling, but a very good lot. (1) READ. Retained autograph copies of 1808 letters to Joseph Story (1779-1845; Salem judge and state legislator, U.S, Supreme Court justice, author of important American legal works) and Thomas Whittier, a state legislator for then Belfast region, seeking help on a petition for a charter and grant of land to establish "a contemplated Academy in Belfast," local citizens having already raised "upwards of $4000" for the project. The letter to Story: 4to, 2-pages, approximately 250 words, signed by Read; Story was named to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1812, serving until his death. The letter to Whittier, on an integral leaf: 4to 1-page, approximately 175 words, in Read's hand, but unsigned. (2) READ. Extracts from Secretary's Records [caption title]. 4-page manuscript, printing selections from records relating to the construction of the academy, 1808-1814. (3) READ.
