Mann on front free endpaper. In the weeks following the Kennedy assassination, President Lyndon Johnson appointed Thomas C. Mann (1912-1999) as Assistant Secretary of State for Inter-American Affairs. This was Johnson's first presidential appointment and a signal that he was departing from Kennedy era policies towards Latin America. During his term, Mann advocated for free enterprise in Latin America, in contrast to promoting democracy in the region. This policy change also led to an increased military presence in South America, with Johnson placing more than 22,000 troops in the Dominican Republic to oppose communist aggression. Mann resigned from the State Department in 1966 and died in 1999. Dean Rusk (1909-1994) held the position of Secretary of State from 1961-1969, serving in both the John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson administrations. Rusk is the second longest serving Secretary of State after Cordell Hull. The Winds of Freedom by Secretary of State Dean Rusk, inscribed to Thomas C. Mann, Assistant Secretary of State and the architect of American foreign policy in Latin America. (illustratore). Signed.…

Condizione: Fine. West Washington Square [Philadelphia], April 13 & April 27, 1890., 1890. Fine. - Two four-page autograph letters, each penned on 4 sides of 6-5/8 inch high by 4-1/8 inch wide "222 West Washington Square" stationery with an attached integral leaf. Addressing his old friend, the architect William Robert Ware, as "Dear Ware", the Shakespearean scholar first expresses his appreciation at hearing from him "How good of you to come with your kindly words of cheer!" writing of his scholarly work that "Days must be filled, and life must be lived - and the chiefest satisfaction I can find in the successive volumes is that they are landmarks bearing tangible evidence that thus much of my allotted march is finished and the end thus much nearer." He concludes by asking Ware if he might have a photograph lying around that he can send him. Signed in full "Horace Howard Furness" and dated "13 April '90" at the end. Writing again a couple of weeks later, Furness writes "Of course you haven't inferred from my silence that I didn't appreciate your great kindness in sending me your photograph. You know your man better." He goes on to say that, as he had no photograph of himself at hand, "Within an hour therefrom a message to the photographer was on its way, and only yesterday p.m. did the counterfeit presentment reach my hands & which I now transmit to you." Dated "27 April 1890" and signed in full "Horace Howard Furness". Folded for mailing, both letters are near fine. The American Shakespearean scholar Howard Horace Furness (1833-1912) was the son of the Unitarian minister and abolitionist William Henry Furness and brother of the architect Frank Furness. Graduating from Harvard, he went to study in Germany before returning to the U.S. where he was admitted to the Philadelphia Bar in 1859. He joined the Shakspere [sic] Society of Philadelphia in 1860. The Variorum of 1821 gathered what was believed to be all Shakespearean lore of that period but much which had been written since was scattered all over the place. Furness went on to edit the "New Variorum" editions of Shakespeare which came to be referred to as the "Furness Variorum", collecting in a single work 300 years of reference, antecedent works, influences and commentaries. The American architect and author William Robert Ware (1832-1915) founded two important American architectural schools. He first began working for Richard Morris Hunt and subsequently partnered with the civil engineer Edward S. Philbrick in the firm of Philbrick and Ware. Partnering with Henry Van Brunt to from Ware & Van Brunt, they designed many of Boston's significant buildings including Harvard's Memorial and Weld Halls and the fountain at the Providence Atheneum in Rhode Island. Ware was the first professor of architecture at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and, after moving to New York City, he founded the School of Architecture at Columbia University.…

Condizione: Very good. - Over 50 words typed on 8-1/2 inch high by 5-1/8 inch wide "244 Madison Avenue" stationery with an attached blank leaf.

Pond's invitation to serve on the committee welcoming Maurice Maeterlinck to America, Cass Gilbert is further pleased to accept his invitation to meet Maeterlinck in the green room prior to the lecture.

Born in Zanesville, Ohio, he moved to St. Paul, Minnesota with his family and at age 17 joined the architectural firm of Abraham M. Radcliffe. He entered MIT's architectural program in 1878. Returning to Minnesota, he designed numerous buildings including the Minnesota State Capitol and St. Paul's Endicott Building. Moving to New York, he was commissioned to design the Alexander Hamilton U.S. Custom House.

Pond, the American impresario and lecture agent who headed the J.B. Pond Lyceum Bureau, brought the great Belgian poet Maurice Maeterlinck to America for a series of lectures. The first lecture took place at Carnegie hall on January 2nd, 1920. Unfortunately Maeterlinck failed to carry out his intention to lecture in English because of his labored "phonetic" English. He declared his intention to continue his lectures in French and have the translation read by another person. As a result, the lecture tour was a failure and lawsuits ensued on both sides.…
