See the Oxford DNB entry of the recipient James Payn (1830-1898), at the time of this letter the editor of the Cornhill Magazine.

Bifolium with mourning border. In good condition, lightly aged and worn, with short closed tear at edge of postage fold. Addressed to 'James Payn Esqr.' and signed 'R. E. Forrest'.

Walker usurped the presidency of Nicaragua in July 1856 and ruled until May 1, 1857,[1] when he was forced out[2] of the presidency and the country by a coalition of Central American armies. He returned in an attempt to re-establish his control of the region and was captured and executed by the government of Honduras in 1860.

[Likely prepared on site at Fort Defiance, present-day Defiance, Ohio., circa late JulyAugust, 1796]. Manuscript (118 x 80 mm) on laid paper. Irregular edges, spindled. A few minor and contemporary notations to verso. Very good condition. A rare provision return slip, issued late JulyAugust, 1796, for one man of Captain William Lewis's Company, covering four days of rations during a detached command at the western frontier. This document is a direct relic of postwar U.S. military administration and the consolidation of federal power in the Old Northwest. A native of Truro Parish, Fairfax, Virginia, William Lewis (17501830) was married to Ann Montgomery (17591832) and had three sons. During the American Revolution, he rose to Major in the 10th Virginia Regiment and was taken prisoner at the fall of Charleston in 1780. After the war, Lewis returned to military service as a captain in the newly formed Legion of the United StatesGeneral "Mad" Anthony Wayne's reorganized postwar army, created to secure the Northwest Territory and composed of four combined-arms Sub-Legions. In early 1793, Lewis recruited volunteers in Virginia and Maryland (including Richmond, Alexandria, and Hagerstown), leading them to join Wayne's forces at Pittsburgh. His company became part of the 3rd Sub-Legion's line. Lewis's service was concentrated on the volatile Ohio frontier. During Wayne's 1794 campaign, his company helped construct and defend Fort Defiancea key Army outpost and log fortress at the confluence of the Maumee and Auglaize Rivers. The fort's role had been to "defy" British influence and Indian attacks indeed its name came, purportedly, from Wayne's boast that "I defy the English, Indians, and all the devils of hell to take it." Contemporary reports from the site describe Lewis's men as healthy and fit following the Battle of Fallen Timbers. When the Treaty of Greenville (August 1795) ended the Northwest Indian War, U.S. troops transitioned to occupying and supplying frontier forts. Captain Lewis is closely associated with Fort Defiance and spent considerable time there: in the spring of 1795 he was serving as its acting Assistant Quartermaster, helping manage supplies for the garrison. The present slip dates from a pivotal summer: July 1796 marked the transfer of British posts to U.S. control under Jay's Treaty. It reads: "Provision return for one man of Captain Wm. Lewis Company / returned from Command for four days Commencing the 25th and ending the 28th July 1796 Inclusive. Men 1 days 4 rations 4." The slip's "returned from command" suggests Lewis's company had just completed a detached mission. The document is autographed by "MacRea, Agent" and "John Steele." Captain John MacRae (also spelled MacRea or McRae) was a quartermaster agent in the Legion of the United States. John Steele was likely a junior officer in the Legion serving in the Northwest Territory. Steele's co-signature indicates he either drew provisions for Lewis's company or witnessed the returnstandard procedure when a company was detached or the captain absent. A rare document offering an immediate connection to the men and moments that secured the American frontier. References: Clarence E. Carter, ed.

Condizione: Good. Letter dated September 13, 1946. 28 cm. Carbon copy on thin Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company letterhead stationery. Substantial chipping around edges (no loss of text) on first leaf. Our unnamed Captain of Police reports on an incident which began when around 200 African American soldiers were changing trains. Local police arrested two of the soldiers for intoxication and took them to the local Police Station. When police returned to the railroad station, they found six of the soldiers assaulting two military policemen and intervened to help the MPs, using the butt end of a riot gun, to break up the fight. When a large number of other soldiers came to join the fight, they were stopped at gunpoint by the local policemen with assistance from the MPs and military officers. The African American soldiers marched in formation to local Police Headquarters where 133 soldiers were charged with disorderly conduct and five others differently charged. Almost all pleaded not guilty but all were found guilty the next day and remained in jail another night until their fines were paid -- $17 each for the 133 soldiers and up to $100 for the five who were differently charged. All 138 soldiers were then marched back the the train station and departed. One wonders how accurately the incident was described to our unnamed Captain by those he interviewed. There is nothing in his letter to suggest that he interviewed any of the African American soldiers.

None. Condizione: None. Seventeen original manuscripts, from ca. 20x33,5 cm (13 ¼ x 8 in) to ca. 11x18 cm (7 ¼ x 4 ¼ in). Brown ink on watermarked laid and wove paper (single leaves or bifoliums); one document on vellum; four printed forms are completed in manuscript. In all ca. 24 pp. of text. The vellum document with the official seal of the East India Company on the left margin. With two original envelopes ca. 9,5x21 cm (3 ¾ x 8 ¼ in) and 7x16,5 cm (2 ¾ x 6 ½ in). Foldmarks and creases, paper slightly age-toned, one letter with tears on the margins, but readable; one document with the upper right corner detached but present; overall a very good archive. Historically significant archive of early original manuscripts, documenting the military service of Robert Butler, a British officer of the East India Company's Madras Native Infantry, in the first third of the 19th century. Butler entered the service of the East India's Company Army in the 1810s, being appointed a Lieutenant of the 11th Regiment, Madras Native Infantry in 1812, and achieved the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the East Indies in 1855 (The London Gazette. Tuesday, February 6, 1855, p. 435). Possibly, he was the author of "Narrative of the Life and Travels of Serjeant B? Written by Himself" (Edinburgh: David Brown, 1823), describing the adventures of a young British soldier in India in the 1810s. The collection includes the original commission appointing Butler a lieutenant in the 11th Madras Native Infantry (signed by the Governor of Madras, Hugh Elliot), originals and certified copies of the documents regarding his sick leave, penalties for not reporting his return, a subsequent pardon, money loans, payments and allowances from the Madras Native Infantry, house renting near "Camp at Kulladghee" [Kaladgi], and a shipment of his order of "1 Linen surcingle, 1 set of white tape headstall & reins, 1 pale [??] saddlecloth with gold lace?" Overall a fascinating collection of early original manuscripts, providing insight into the military service during the East India Company's rule in India. A list of documents: 1) [Elliot, Hugh, Governor of Madras in 1814-1820, Signed by].
