Beschreibung:
8vo. Altogether 5 ½ pp. on bifolia. To a Mr. Durolles, probably an official at the Ministry of Defence, concerning the conscriptions of Monet's son Michel (1878-1966) and his stepson Jean-Pierre Hoschedé (1877-1961). With regard to Michel, Monet first informs his contact that he was transferred to the "Commis et ouvriers militaires" and that he can now do what is necessary to transfer Michel to Vernon, close to Giverny: "J'apprends ici que mon fils Michel a obtenu son changement de 7ptme de Ligue à la 3me section de commis et ouvriers militaires. Je me hate de vous en informer, comme vous m'y avez autorisé afin que vous pourriez de suite faire le necessaire pour le faire placer à Vernon, ce qui sera le comble de nos v ux, aussi je en ai pas besoin de vous dire combien nous vous en serons reconnaissante [.]" (Jan. 1901, recipient's note). - In the second letter from 26 February 1901, Claude Monet explains that Michel has received information that he will be retransferred to Rouen. Monet asks the recipient to make Michel's posting in Vernon permanent before the transfer to Rouen becomes official: "Je viens encore faire appel à votre aimable obligeance. Mon fils Michel qui grâce à vous a été envoyé à Vernon, et ou il se trouve très bien, a appris officieusement par un camarade qui est employé à la direction de Rouen, qu'il était question de le faire revenir à Rouen, parce que l'on vient d'envoyer un autre soldat à Vernon et par ce fait il y a un homme de plus à l'effectif de cette ville. Cela n'est pas officiel mais pourrait le devenir, mon fils en a la crainte et me demande à vous écrire afin d'user de votre influence pour le faire classer définitivement à Vernon. Si ce n'est abuser de votre obligeance je vous serais bien vivement reconnaissant d'intervenir auprès de votre collègue de Rouen. Vous demandant de bien vouloir le faire le plustot [!] possible avant que la chose ne devienne officiel [!]. Tous mes remerciments [.]". Both letters were sent from London, where Claude Monet stayed in 1901. - Regarding his stepson Jean-Pierre Hoschedé, Monet informs Durolles that the former minister Léon Bourgeois had successfully intervened on Jean-Pierre's behalf so that he would be allowed to continue his studies in Paris before being drafted: "J'apprends à l'instant par Monsieur Léon Bourgeois l'ancien Ministre qui porte beaucoup d'intérêt à mon beaufils que sur sa demande et dans le but de lui procurer plus de temps à ses études, il vient d'obtenir qu'il soit détaché au Ministère de la guerre. Je m'empresse de vous en informer au cas ou vous ne le sauriez deja et je tiens à vous remercier encore de votre obligeante sollicitude à son egard [.]" (13 April 1899). - Michel Monet and Jean-Pierre Hoschedé grew up like siblings since the Hoschedé family had moved to live with the Monets in Vétheuil in 1878. Alice Hoschedé took care of Monet's first wife Camille, who suffered from terminal cancer, and the eight children. Camille died in 1879, and Ernest Hoschedé soon left the household, only visiting sporadically and later unsuccessfully asking his wife to return to him. In 1883 the family moved to Giverny and in 1892, one year after Ernest Hoschedé's death, Claude Monet and Alice married. - Letter from 13 April 1899 on mourning stationery with letterhead; the other two letters on stationery with embossed letterhead of the Savoy Hotel, London. Well preserved. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 53781

Written to Osman Bey. Dated 1948. In Ottoman script. One is written by a pencil, another is by a fountain pen with a black ink. Between the years 1877-1878 the Ottoman - Russian War (93 Harbi) after the Turks from the Balkans migrated to Anatolia, there was also a knife master Ismail Bey. In 1879, he started to work in Yahya Usta's shop (Yesilyayla Biçakçisi) in Okçular Çarsisi (one of famous bazaar which means 'Archery Bazaar' in Bursa city which still has touristic crafts) and started to produce knives and agricultural tools. When he died at a young age in 1885, his son Mehmet (Pirge) continued to do the affairs of Ismail Usta. The art of knives was thus passed on from father to son.

Ephemera. Three handwritten letters (four pages in all) by Hoitt (1833 - 1905) to San Diego attorney S. S. Sanborn, all dating 1874 (February 10, February 18, and May 18).

One letter inquires as to the 'worth per acre' of a Pueblo land lot. All on Hoitt's letterhead as a Real Estate Stock and Money Broker.

Botanist and Roman Catholic propagandist (1846-1924). All but the second letter, which is addressed 'Gentlemen', are addressed 'Dear Sirs'. The letters are all 12mo, and embossed at the head of the first leaf 'NOX VENIT QUANDO NEMO POTEST OPERARI'. In letter 1 (1 page) he asks that his 'Collecting book of Flowering Plants' be sent to him: he will mention it in his 'Journal of Botany' for June. 'I think a companion one with description of principal types would be useful - the present one is entirely on collecting.' In letter 2 (2 pages) he apologises for not answering the 'last note': 'I have been so engaged preparing for my absence from home for some five weeks'. 'I could not write the little book you speak of at once - but I certainly think it should be done. Your title in the first instance misled me. I fancied you wanted a handbook on collecting only, not a sort of condensed English flora [.] Do you not think you might profitably have one on fertilization - a subject of much importance and one capable of being made very attractive'. In the third letter (2 pages) he expresses his regret that his 'Young Collector's Handbook' for flowering plants 'has been kept back so long'. If he can be sent his 'Among the Wild Flowers' he will notice it in his Journal. He closes by asking when 'Mr. Friend's plant-lore book will make its appearance'. In the card (1 page, roughly 3 inches by 4 inches) he asks for 'two or three of yr. Natural History publications' so that he may 'notice them in 'Nature Notes'.

Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Catholic theologian, author of 'Natural Theology' (1891). All three letters are on 16mo bifoliates. The first two are 3 pages, and the last is 2 pages. All in good condition, but all with some discolouration and closed tears, and with pin marks in one corner. All three letters concern James Martineau's 'Study of Religion' (1888). In the first letter he praises 'Dr. Martineau's great work', from which he has taken notes. 'I admire the loftiness of his mind and the elegance of his style.' He apologises for the fact that there is no reference to him in his book. 'If I lived near Russell Square, it would be easier for me to discuss with you some passages in the 'Study of Religion' which as a Catholic philosopher I cannot endorse.' The second letter concerns the question 'How far a Catholic may suffer in his faith by studying the philosophical views of Dr. Martineau'. He recommends that Matthews be guided by his 'spiritual director'. Matthews may wish to 'obtain leave for reading forbidden books'. 'Be sure, my Dear Sir, I sympathize heartily with good old Dr. Martineau. We must continue to pray for him.' Quotes passage from Martineau, saying that it shows 'that his own case proves clearly what he says'. In the last letter he says he has often prayed for Martineau. 'Hoping, that he has found mercy in his last hour, I shall not fail often to remember his soul at the altar.' He thanks Matthews for a saying of Martineau's, which will 'encourage some of the Fathers here to pray with confidence for the repose of the soul of your dear old Professor.' The envelope, which is self-stamped, and addressed to Matthews at 72 Oakley Square, N.W., is postmarked 28 April 1898, but contains no letter. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 2996
