I am [?] written you briefly, agreeing, for reasons which I partially indicate, my object in doing so. I have received no communication since then from Mrs. Pingree or any one acting in his behalf; [?] since the correspondence hitherto has been between you and me, I will now number my first [?] on the subject, and thoughts[?] to it above. Let me say, in passing, that the book of memorabilia[?] has great [?] judgment and diligence, and would, I think, fulfill the [?] for which it was completed[?]. I wish also to express my [?] of our unfailing [?] and look [?] throughout these [?]. But Mrs. Pingree seems to have been maligned by his friends. The biography of a man like her late husband is a [?], and should not be treated or regarded like a matter of bargaining for a parcel of merchandise.. When I was first invited to consider the biography, I had no anticipation of such treatment as I have received. The proposition which I first made was [?] to the interests of both parties. It was desirable that the biography should be brought out in a form adequate to the reputation both of the subject and of the writer--a dignified and thorough book, such as would be generally recognized as a worthy and acceptable ambition[?] to the march[?] of our epoch. The sum I asked for my work--ten thousand dollars--would have repaid me in some degree for the [?] of labor which I wanted to devote to it; and I should have made such magnitude with the [?] as would have [?] to Mrs. Pingree returns[?] which would[?] in the [?] have [?] this expenditure[?]. No attention was paid by her to my proposition, and I understand that the letter was [?] to her. Meanwhile, time went by; and time in relation to the issue of a biography, in this hurrying and forgetting age, is of great importance. The book might now to be nearing completion, and to have been [?] thoroughly[?] [?] by the ambitious[?]. It has been constantly delayed, to its serious detriment; our [?] then next insofar, it might as well be [?] altogether. Especially is this the case in view of the fact that the widow of Governor Pingree has thought it [?] to publish a [?] manuscript of her late husband, instead of an [?] biography. She will truly incur the risk of ridicule form Gov. Pingree admirers, who knowing his financial circumstances, will question the motives of her conduct and such[?] to cast doubt upon her loyalty to him. I am bound to say, in justice[?] to myself, am not of [?] to the memory of Gov. Pingree, that the only thing which can now save this book from contempt and regret[?] will be my name-or that of some literary name as well known and of good standing-upon the page. I can [?] save it; but if the matter be further delayed, I will not save it, and I will feel compelled to decline to have anything to do with it. My reputation will not allow me to connect myself with a failure. I must ask a word about the financial aspect of this affair. I calculated my average[?] [?] from literary work in a year at $15,000. When therefore I undertake to spend four to five months on this biography for $2500. Mrs. Pingree will understand that I am [?] making her a percent of an equal amount. I would gladly give more than that if I could afford, for the sake of receiving[?] the memory of a Great American from [?] or misconception; but that is the limit of which I am able to do. Mrs. Pingree must [?] make no misconception as to the matters which have prompted me to make the concession I have made. I can make no more. If she wishes me to write the book, I must repeat that she take action upon my [?] at once[?]. A check for $2500 must be sent to me immediately, and an agreement drawn up to pay me one half of the sum received as royalties, after the said royalties shall have repaid her the advance to me of $2500. Unless I hear from her to this effect on or before May 10th, I shall conclude that she has decided not to go on with the negotiations, and will return the typewritten volume of memorabilia. Meanwhile I remain available [?] Julian Hawthorne Let me know how to [?] with the [?]

In the remarks made at the meeting these sentiments were feelingly expressed and earnestly sympathized by all: Whereas, We have heard with profound regret of the sudden death of Hon. Jacob M. Howard, late U.S. Senator from our State, and for many years one of Michigan's most talented, esteemed and honored citizens, whom in life without distinction of party we felt proud to call our own. Not only on account of his long and valuable service rendered the State while in the various positions of honor and trust to which he had been called, but for the national reputation he enjoyed as a statesman of exalted ability and learning; a citizen whose devotion to duty and principles, as well as what he believed to be for the best interests of his country and state, secured to himself the confidence and respect of all fair and honorable men of all parties; a citizen whose death we mourn as a loss to the community and whose memory though sadly, we delight to honor; and Whereas, It has been decreed by the inscrutable laws of the Supreme Rules of the Universe that our esteemed fellow citizen should be thus suddenly taken from his family and the country while in the maturity of his manhood and usefulness, we deem it not only a duty but fit and proper that we should express our deep sorrow for this great loss to the State and country, and that we should extend our unfeigned condolences and sympathy to his afflicted family, therefore, Resolved, That we the citizens of East Saginaw, without distinction of party, deeply lament the sudden and untimely death of Hon. Jacob M. Howard. That we mourn his loss as one that will meet with responsive regrets from the hearts of the people of the State and nation. Resolved, That we extend to the family and intimate friends of the lamented deceased our sincere condolence and sympathy. That though we may not feel as they must by this sad event, we realize the uncertainty of life, and feel assured that his loss will be felt and regretted by all. Resolved, That as a mark of due respect to the memory of the distinguished dead, a committee of citizens be appointed to attend his funeral at Detroit, and to present a copy of these proceedings to his family and see that the same are given to the public through the press.

It reads as follows: Mountain Creek, Chilton County, Alabama February 4th, 1893 - Dear Sister Emma: Your very kind and welcome letter of Jan 31st was received yesterday. Oddly enough, Charlie passed through Mt. Creek, just the day before and was met by our post-master on the train, who secured his card for us. Of course we were disappointed at not meeting him formally, but trust that his business will not be pressing at another time. I had just mailed you a letter acknowledging the receipt of "The Journal." It was a pleasant thought to me, to still be counted as one of J. ? County's daughters. Firstly: let me congratulate you in having such a prominent identification in the World's Fair, for which you are so ably qualified. I send you by to-day's mail, the following article belonging to General Grant. A book, titled "Children of the Outlaw." It will be noticed on the fly-leaf as a gift from the author to Gen Grant. This book my dear sister one would desire you to keep after the Exhibition for your own library, as a token of affection from John, Minnie & Marie. In reply to the question in regard to my work as a translator, will say, that I have translated the French Novel "Germaine" Consisting of fifteen chapters (15 chapters). This was published in a Minneapolis Weekly Newspaper and I regret to say that I have not a full file to send you, but mail you one sample N[?]. I enclose in this letter, one of the first medallions struck off after Gen'l Grant's death; we believe that these are quite rare. Also some pressed roses worn by me at a ladies' tea-party given by Mrs. Grant Sept 7th 1880. Hope that Mamma & you have entirely recovered from your colds. With much love from us all to Mamma & you, Your loving sister, Minnie.

- Mounted invitation addressed to M' [Mr. or Mrs.?] Witherell from Mrs. Adams requesting company at Tea on Tuesday January 20, 1824 and every alternate Tuesday during the session of congress when agreeable. It appears to have been written on the 14 of January. A handwritten note on the lower right side reads, "The writing is that of Mr. Adams Mr. Adams delivered it signed B.F.H. Witherell." The address at the top reads, "From Mrs. J.Q. Adams 1824- attended." This handwriting is similar to that on the lower right side and the comments suggest that both parts were written after the fact by Benjamin Franklin Hawkins Witherell. It is assumed that the original part of the document was written by President John Quincy Adams. It is also guessed that this was addressed to Amy Hawkins Witherell, the wife of James W. Witherell who was serving as Supreme Court Judge at this time. His son Benjamin was only a Justice of Peace during this point in his career.

- Half-folded handwritten letter sent by Anna Wilson to her brother concerning dampness in their home, a troublesome child, and recent deaths and marriages. The letter reads: St. Nicholas Hotel [?] 12 ch 11ch 1873 My dear brother Thy letter mailed yesterday ([?]) is just received, & I am glad to hear from you all, as well as about the Ceecieners[?] mother, that the [?] was safe, & the house & [?]. I have felt concerned about the dampness inside house & among the things, [?] how it creeps in in ground floors. I wrote last evening & requested Benja[?] to right up the sewing machine & put sticks under the boxes & trunks. If they could all be put up stairs, I would be glad. That is the trunks, boxes & beds. Suppose one box is too big to go up, perhaps, both of the large ones, if they could be raised up a few inches from the floor it would make a good deal of difference. I have no idea of going into any such minutia about the insurance. Perhaps it will be as well to leave it awhile. I have talked a little with insurance men here, & will [?]. [?] have been pretty comfortable to day. We undertook to have a [?] with [?] Underhill & M. [?] set up his authority in good [?] M.L. [?] turned down, did not even threaten to throw things at M.U. as he does sometimes. It is just what he needs, some one to exercise authority over him for he has become like a foolish child. We rode rough shode [?] when he was small, now he things he can do so with double clogs. M.U. was [?] afraid of him for a while, but now he is getting the upper hand. He is a faithful nurse & care taker. He gets almost discouraged sometimes, & I do remember[?], he said yesterday he believed if ever a man was pressured with a [?] Moses Sutton was at times. It does really seem so. Of course it is his own evil speech, uncontrolled by reason, &, as thee says, I do [?] think he is responsible for what he says & does in these moods. But it is sorrowful to see them. Lo[?] Joseph Gibbons has "entered into rest," or [?]. I thought when saw him last summer at sister Sarah's that his race seemed nearly run. My thoughts have been much in Detroit today with the grieved Episcopalians while attending the funeral of their beloved Bishop Armitage. I was shocked to see the notice of his death in the paper [?] 2[?] day morning, he died here in this city, when he had come to have a surgical operation performed. You will probably see an account of it in the Detroit papers. He built up St. John's Church in Detroit, from the beginning to a large & flourishing congregation. The last time I attended church before I left, was to hear him, as since he had been Bishop of Wisconsin, he was rarely there. And now Professor Agassiz is lying very low! And in eloquent Sybil Jones too passed away in the [?] of this month. Is the monthly meeting here in the 3[?], a friend gave a very touching account of a call made in her a few days before, of her beautiful expressions of [?] as she drew near "the River!" I shall think of Edward with you next 1[?] day, as a postal received from Sarah today informed. She also reported Sister Abbey's safe arrival there yesterday morning. Abby[?] will go West this minute, so she said. She has so much to look after, his niece to be married soon, Rebecca [?] whose father & mother both died earlier this year. I seems town & [?] have a royal example for furthering their marriage, as I see that of the Duke of Edinburgh & the Russian Princess s to be [?] late February. I hope they will all have a good time. As for Charlie's situation, I am inclined to think he would make [?] as well with [?] as [?]. Given[?] the farmer would be the rightest[?], as [?] L.L. Menilt said the [?] did the [?] farming. I am deeply obliged to thee for thy care of my business , [?] looking after my things. A fire will be a good thing, only don't burn the shanty down. It seems nice to be so social. Much love to all from Anne. I never can think to say anything about Birdie, wish I had the little fellow here, but [?] better off where he is if Anna does not get tired of caring for her, [?] he's gone to school, who cares for item? Minnie? Anne
