General in the Revolutionary Army. " The Traitor." Autograph Letter, signed. 3 pages. Large folio. Berkley county, June 25, 1780, To James Monroe. Endorsed, in Monroe's chirography, "Gen 1 Ch : Lee." This is the most remarkable letter of General Lee's in existence, and we think that in the perusal of the same our patrons will a^ree with us. It exhibits his extreme peevishness and proneness in jumping at con- clusions unless things were done as Charles Lee wished. Berkley County, June ye 25th, 1780 My Dr Munroe — I receiv'd two days ago your letter dated from Richmond upbraiding me for not writing. I do assure you that I have written twice immediately ad- dress'd to you, and a third time address'd to you conjointly with Mercer, but whether you have received 'em I cannot pretend to say, as amongst the many admirable qualities pervading the Inhabitants of this Continent, the noble ambition of opening evry letter, in order to obtain knowledge, is one of the most predominant — it is not always that I am master of pen ink and paper, and seldomer that I have an opportunity of assuring you how much and sin- cerely I am yours, or you may depend upon it that you shou'd receive these assurances very frequently, as without compliment there are few young men for whom I have a higher esteem and affection. I am extremely concern'd that Fortune has been so unkind as not to admit of your cultivating the talents which Nature has bestow'd on you to greater advantage than your present situation seems to promise, for in my opinion (but perhaps I am a prejudiced man) the study of topographical Law (unless daily corrected by other more liberal studies) is a most horrid narrower of the mind ; and you, as you justly complain, have not the proper books for this necessary correction. If I remain on the Continent nothing will give me greater pleasure, or more flatter my ambition than to communicate my ideas and assist you with all the means in my power in your pursuit of polite letters,— and if any circum- stances arise to make me alter my present plan, I hope it may be so con- triv'd that We may be much together. Your present Assembly, I have many reasons to believe, is compos'd of most wretched materials, but wretched as it is, I have as many reasons to believe, that it is one of the least abominable on the Continent — in fact the power in every State is fall'n into the very worst hands. We have now neither Monarchy Aristocracy nor Democracy ; if it is anything, it is rather a Mac-ocracy, by which I mean that a Banditti of low Scotch-Irish who are either themselves imported Servants or the im- mediate descendants of imported Servants are the Lord's Paramount and in such wild beastly hands as these respublica diutius stare non potest. God knows what is to become of us ; I possibly see with a jaundic'd eye, but I am myself fully persuaded that after some months or at furthest a couple of years anarchy and confusion an absolute Tyranny will be the conclusion of the Piece ; but whether the Tyrant will be foreign or domestick is out of the reach of my foresight. What do you think of the policy or virtue of Congress, in inviting, (or if not invited) in admitting a large Body of French Troops into our bosom. How are we to get rid of 'em ? — is there an in- stance in history of a strong nation sending an Army for the protection of an impotent one, when the Protectors have not ultimately stripp'd or attempted to strip the Protected of their liberties? You have I am sure read the his- tory of Britain, and must be acquainted with the conduct of our Saxon An- cestors. You have likewise probably read the history of Charles the fifth and Philip.the second, and of course must know that the Armies of Ger- mans Italians and Spaniards introduced under the pretext of protecting the low Countries against the French were employ'd to enslave these very low Countries ; and that afterwards vice versa the French call'd in to protect em from the tyranny of the Spaniards and Italians attempted to accomplish the very same purposes They were call'd in to defeat — in short the measure is so very big with mischief so repugnant to the first axioms of policy, that I cannot perswade myself but that those who have acquiesced in it must have been brib'dout of the little sense They set out with — but I am warm'd by the subject into a tedious poitical Essay — it has been reveal'd to Mrs. Gates in a dream that S. Carolina is of not the least importance which revelation She has communicated to the General to his unspeakable comfort ; the General has communicated it to a McAllaster and the other Commissaries, who have comforted the whole Country with the glad tidings, and it is'resolv'd by a Committee of Whigs, that whoever insinuates that S. Carolina and the Army taken in it, are of the least consequence, is ipso facto a damn'd Tory — upon my word I pity Gates. He is an honest man, and has many good qualities and that Daemoness his wife occasions him to make a very ridicu- lous figure — adieu, God bless you. C. Lee. PS. I suppose an Army of Russians will like wise be introduc'd as well as an Army of French, and then the Continent will be a blessed theatre of War and desolation ; one side or other must be victorious, or it must be a drawn battle, if the former happens, the Victor will dictate what measures He pleases, and if the latter happens a treaty of partition will take place — upon the whole it is a damnable measure. GENERAL LEE'S RESIGNATION. 527b Original Contemporary Broadside, issued by General Charles Lee, tendering his resignation to th"e Right Hon. Lord Viscount Barrington, his Majesty's Secre- tary at War ; dated Philadelphia, June 22, 1775. 4to, uncut edges. Size, 11x8 inches. Printed by John Anderson, New York, [i775j This is one of the only two copies known of this interesting historical broadside, and, we may venture to say, the finer of the two, as it is as clean as on the day of issue ; with untrimmed edges. "General LEE'S RESIGNATION," To the Right Honourable Lord Viscount Barrington, His Majesty's Secretary at War. Philadelphia, June 22, 1775. My Lord — Although I can by no means subscribe to the opinion of divers people in the world, that an officer on half pay is to be considered in the service, yet I think it a point of a delicacy to pay a deference to this opinion, erroneous and absurd as it is. I therefore apprise your Lordship in the most public and solemn manner, that I do renounce my half-pay, from the date hereof. At the same time I beg leave to assure your Lordship, that whenever it shall please his Majesty to call me forth to any honourable service against the natural heredit- ary enemies of our country, or in defense of his just rights and dignity, no man will obey the righteous summons with more zeal and alacrity than my- self ; but the present measures seem to me so absolutely subversive of the rights and liberties of every individual subject, so destructive to the whole empire at large, and ultimately so ruinous to his Majesty's own person, dig- nity and family, that I think myself obliged in conscience as a Citizen, Englishman, and Soldier of a free state, to exert my utmost to defeat them. I most devoutly pray to Almighty God to direct his Majesty into measures more consonant to his interest and honour, and more conducive to the happi- ness and glory of his people. I am, my Lord, Your most obedient humble Servant, Charles Lee. New York : Printed by John Anderson, at Beekman-Slip. Col. CHARLES C.

BIRCH'S SONS STAN. V. HENKELS mo Chestnut Street, Philada., Pa. A. 77^2_ c^Vj^^Si) PREFACE THE late Colonel Charles Colcock Jones, Jr., LL.D., who gathered this valuable and extraordinary collection of Autograph Letters, Historical Papers and Engraved Portraits and Views, was born in Savannah, Georgia, October 28, 1831; studied law at the Harvard University, from which he graduated in 1855. In i860 he was elected Mayor of his native city ; refusing a re-nomination he immediately entered the Con- federate Army and served with distinction through the war as an officer of. artillery, doing duty in the capacity of Chief of Artil- lery for the Military District of Georgia and the Third Military District of South Carolina. On the termination of hostilities he removed to New York city, where he resumed the practice of the law. During the twelve years of his residence in that city he contributed largely, in a literary way, towards the elucidation of occurrences in the history of his country, writing several inter- esting works on the history of the Indians of Georgia, on impor- tant events in the Revolution and of the War for the Union, on Revolutionary heroes, etc., and in his researches for material in compiling these works he was naturally led into the field of auto- graph collecting. Returning to his native State in 1877, he established his home at Montrose, in the village of Summerville, near Augusta, where, up to the time of his death, July 19, 1893, he devoted his time to historical researches and in the collection of important historical papers and autograph letters of the eminent characters connected with the Revolutionary War and the State of Georgia. The result of this task is fully portrayed in this catalogue, in which will be-foundaset of the signers of the Declaration of Inde- pendence, including the rare names of Button Gwinnett and Thomas Lynch, Jr. ; also the series of the members of the Continental Congress, signers of the Constitution, members of the Constitutional Convention, Presidents and Vice-Presidents of the United States, Rulers and Governors of Georgia ; Chief Justices, Associate Justices and Attorneys-general of the United States ; IV United States Senators from Georgia, Generals in the Revolutionary War, and many interesting letters of other eminent personages, both American and Foreign. The letters, wherever possible, were illustrated with the rarest and best portraits obtainable of the writers, which, for the benefit of collectors of engraved portraits, I have catalogued separately. The engraved views of New York, Boston, Baltimore, St. Louis, Mount Vernon, Niagara Falls and other interesting localities throughout the United States, are the most important that has ever come under my observation ; whilst among the broadsides will be found many that relate to the events of the Revolution, which are of the utmost importance and of great rarity. The catalogue also enumerates many rare maps, as well as quite a large collection of Georgia and South Carolina Continental money, containing many rare varieties, in unusual good condition. The collection is too large and varied for me to draw special attention to any item, there being so many of importance. I have therefore made an index of the whole, and a glance at it will more fully convey an idea of its character. STAN. V. HENKELS.

This is taken from one of the Volumes of Swift's works, pub- lished in 1766, which he purchased in London, while he was studying Law in the Temple. I know this to be genuine from the fact that I observe that- autograph-seekers in my father's time have obtained from the same source, the name. As I said to you, I think, in a former letter, he never signed the name Thomas Lynch Jr. but once in his life, and that was to the Declaration of Independence, I suppose for the purpose of informing the British who was the right man to be hung ; his father of the same name being then alive and a member of the Continental Congress at the time of the signing."

From the Circumstances of his Conduct, particularly his rapid Retreat, and the length of it, and some hints in one of his Letters, and Strictures in others, it appears to us that Gen'l Gates can no longer continue in that Command with Satisfaction to himself, or with prospect of rendering essential Service to the United States. We hope your next favour will throw some Light on the Subject. " The fleet which was seen on the Coast, mentioned in my last, proves to be Rodney with 10 Sail of the Line. Since his arrival at Sandy Hook, a large Embarkation of Troops has been going forward at New York, and it • was industriously reported to be destined against the French Fleet at Rhode Island, or against Virginia, or both ; but the capture of Col. Andre, followed by General Arnold's Flight to the Enemy, has developed the true Intention of the Armament." * * * "The new Maryland Regiment, which is com- plete in Number of Men, marched by order of Gen'l Washington from this place, about a week ago, to join the Southern Army." * * * " Present my Compliments to Mrs. Nash."

The footing on which you have placed the collection & deposit of the Rents, on my behalf, is very agreeable to me , & I thank you for the assurance that you will have an eye to my interest in your neighbourhood. " I should greatly prefer the cultivation of Wheat to Tobacco, on those Lands ; and I should have thought myself happy in having such a tenant as Mr. O'Neil ; but it is long since I have formed a fixed resolution never to let land to any one who does not live on it, but adjoining thereto ; because from experience I have found in all these cases that mylandhas always been pressed hard to save the [sic] there own; and of the improvements which it ought to receive from the Stock, Litter, &c, it has been robbed for the benefit of the other. I mean by no means to suggest that this would be the case with Mr. O'Neil; but to shew the principle on w'ch my resolution has been founded.

The Legislature is in session yet, but has done nothing of importance. The following is my guess as to what will be done : The Internal Improvement System will be put down in a lump without benefit of clergy The Bank will be resusitated with some trifling modification. Whether the Canal will go ahead or stop is very doubt- ful. Whether the State House will go ahead depends upon the law already in force.

" Be sure to send me as many copies of the life of Harrison as you can spare from other uses. •• Be very sure to procure and send me the Senate Journal of New York of September 1814.

And in general send me every thing you think will be a good " war-ciui," with address. " The nomination of Harrison takes first rate. You know I am never sanguine but I believe we will carry the state. " The chance of doing so, appears to me 25 per cent better than it did for you to beat Douglass. A great many of the Grocery sort of Van Buren men, as formerly, are out for Harrison. Our Irish Blacksmith Gregory, is for Harrison. I believe I may say, that all our friends think the chance of carrying the state very good. " You have heard that the Whigs and Loco had a political discussion shortly after the meeting of the Legislature. Well, I made a big speech, which is in progress of printing in pamphlet form. To enlighten you and the rest of the world, I shall send you a Copy when it is finished. " I can't think of anything else now. " Your friend, as ever, " A. Lincoln." 25 171 Lincoln, Abraham.

" Dear Sir : '< I received yours of the 16th in due time, and was much gratified to hear of the democracy in old Greene moving off in good earnest upon the presidential question.— It will require an extraordinary effort to elect Mr. Vanburen in the approaching contest over Mr. Clay. — The Whigs are de- termined to make a desperate fight and are making all the necessary prepara- tion for action. — To day the 21st rule, as it is commonly called, was repealed by a majority of 20 votes ; it was done by a union of Whigs and democrats. — It is feared by some of our friends, that this day's work will drive the Southern democracy off from Mr. V — buren entirely. — The repeal of the 21 rule and the receipt of the resolution passed by the Massachusetts' Legisla- ture, in effect threatening a dissolution of the Union, if Texas is annexed to the United States, has set the Southern delegation in a blaze. — I tell you, things are in a bad condition for us at this time — if something is not done to pro- duce harmony in our ranks, defeat is certain. Can we make a better run with Cass or not, write and let me know. There is an under current here, at this time in favor of Cass upon the ground of availability. — What think you of it, will it do or not. — You complain of my not redeeming my pledge. — The reason is obvious, there was nothing to write about more than you saw in your papers, and I merely write now to acknowledge the receipt of your letter, knowing you do not wish to read a letter about nothing, I shall con- clude this. — Gen'l Howard from Indiana is in the city.— It is thought here by some that Gen'l Alex Anderson will be sent as minister to Mexico. — There is rumor in the City, that an agent has reached here clothed with powers ample, in relation to the annexation of Texas to the United States."

" We have many more difficulties to struggle with, in this country than you to the Northward can readily conceive of. More may be expected of us than we can perform. All shall be done that is in my power to effect, but alas our means' are small ! " There is an appearance of a speedy evacuation of Savannah and some preparations in Charlestown which indicate an approaching evacuation, but I am afraid the preparations are only to contract their lines. I wish the enemy out of this country for many private as well as public reasons. " What will the change of british administration produce ? Some peo- ple expect much good will result from it. I confess I am at a loss to imagine how, unless the british army has orders to leave us, and I think that is hardly probable as the new ministry avow an intention to prosecute the war against their European enemies. Count de Grass's late misfortune will be attended with very disagreeable consequences. It is one of those evils how- ever great in itself, will still involve greater." 512 Greene, Nathaniel.

" I am in distress, subjected to it from my engagements for the ease and relief of this country. I dont wish to complain but I ought not to suffer. I have felt much mortification but as my motives were just and the conse- quences unavoidable it is cruel hard upon me to feel both loss and censure. My only consolation I have served the people if I have perplexed myself. No man who has the least knowledge of our finance but must see the cruelty of our situation. An army to feed and nothing to do it with. I could not refuse to engage my private fortune for the same people I had so often ex- posed my life to serve and trust to the generosity of the public for redress if I became a sufferer. But to suffer both in fortune and reputation for an act imposed upon me by public necessity carries both cruelty and injustice with it. But if God spares my life but a few years I am in hopes to triumph over all these difficulties, and then I shall not fail to remember those who have obliged me in the hours of my distress. I hope to bear my misfortunes like a man but I cannot help feeling them." Etc. 514 Habersham, John. Major in the First Continental Regi- ment of Georgia.

" Gentlemen — " By directions of the Continental Congress we have sent the Vessell by which this goes to procure from you a quantity of Gun-Powder for the use of the Armies actually in the field for the Service of America. The frequent & severe Skirmishes in the Neighbourhood of Boston have so exhausted maga- zines that an immediate supply is absolutely necessary. " We entreat you to purchase all that can be bought in Town, & to des- patch this Vessel with it for this Place as soon as possible, together with as much as can be spared out of the Public Stock without Danger to your own Safety. " Should there be any damaged Powder on Hand, please send it also, as it may be recovered here. "By one of the Resolutions inclosed to (he General committee you'll see that it is recommended to the Southern Colonies to secure all the Salt Petre that can be got as well from the Stores as from private Persons, which, as you have no Powder Mills erected or Persons skilled in making Gun Powder, we would advise may be sent to be manufactured here. " Should you be able to send more than four Thousand Weight of Pow- der we wou'd wish the overplus may be sent by some other oportunity. " In order to prevent Suspicion we have sent Bushels of Indian Corn on this Vessel which may be sold or exchanged for Rice, in which the Casks of Powder may be concealed so, perhaps, as to prevent Suspicion, should she unhappily be unable to avoid being overtaken by a Cruizer. " The utmost secrecy and Despatch are absolutely necessary. " As large Quantities of Powder will be wanted we strongly recommend that you continue to import all that you can, and think it probable that large Quantity's might be got from the Government of Havana as we can find no application there from any of the Colonies. " We are Gentlemen, " Your most obed't Servants " Henry Middleton, " Thos. Lynch " Chris't Gadsden " J. Rutledge " E. Rutledge." 615 Middleton, Henry. Document, signed. [Pen stroke across signature].

Autograph Letter, signed. 4to. 13 pages. Philadelphia, October 8, 1777. To General George Washington. The Rev. Jacob Duche, author of this letter, was rector of Christ Church, Philadelphia. He made the opening prayer at the First Congress, September 7, 1774, but resigned in October following on account of the determination of the colonies to separate from Great Britain. When the British took posses- sion of Philadelphia, he became alarmed at the gloomy aspects of affairs (which is really the cause which induced him to forsake the patriots), and wrote this letter to General Washington, under date of October 8th, 1777, urging him to follow his example, and at the head of his army compel Con- gress to retrace its steps. What has become of the identical letter sent to Washington is not ~ i t ^c the nnto- 790 War of 1812. Letters from the Secretary of the Navy of the United States, to Captain David Porter, from J uly 26, 1808, to September 28, 181 2. Folio and 4to. 44 pieces This very interesting series of official letters, on the eve of and during the early part of the second war with Great Britain, includes two letters signed by Robert Smith, Secretary of the Navy; five Autograph Letters, signed, addressed and franked by Paul Hamilton, Secretary of the Navy ; thirty letters, signed and franked by Paul Hamilton ; three letters, signed by Paul Hamilton, and four Autograph Letters, signed and addressed by C. W. Goldsborough, Acting Secretary of the Navy. They all relate to periods, during Captain Porter's career as Commander of the Frigate " Essex," and contain the various orders issued from the Navy Department during the early stages .of the War, as to his cruising, victories, prize money, etc. From the letter of June 9, 1810, we quote the following: — " You, like every patriotic American, have observed & deeply feel the in- juries & insults heaped on our Country by the two great Belligerents of Europe, & you must also believe, that (calculating by the past) from neither are we to expect either liberality or justice, but on the contrary no opportunity will be lost of adding to the outrages, to which, for years, we have been sub- jected, amongst these stands most conspicuous, the inhuman and dastardly 91 attack on our frigate ' Chesapeake,' an outrage, which prostrated the flag of our Country and has imposed on the American people, cause of ceaseless mourning. That same spirit which originated & has refused atonement for this act of brutal injustice, exists still with Great Britain, and from France like- wise we have no reason to expect any regard for our rights. What has been perpetrated may again be attempted ; it is therefore our duty to be prepared and determined at every hazard to vindicate the injured honor of our Navy, and revive the drooping spirits of the Nation. Influenced by these considera- tions it is expected, that, while you conduct the force under your command, consistently with the principles of a strict & upright neutrality, you are to maintain & support at any risk & cost the dignity of your Flag, and that offering yourself no unjust aggression, you are to submit to none, not even a menace or threat from a force not materially your superior." Etc. From the letter of January 22, 181 1, we quote : — "I hear not without great concern that the Law prohibiting the importa- tion of slaves has been violated in frequent instances near St. Mary's, since the Gun-Boats have been drawn from that station. " We are bound by Law, by the obligation of humanity & sound policy, to use our most strenuous efforts to restrain this disgraceful traffic, & to bring those who shall be found engaged in it, to those forfeitures & punishments, which are by Law prescribed for such offences. You will therefore use all practicable diligence in enforcing the Law, prohibiting the importation of slaves, passed March 2, 1807, entitled < An Act to prohibit the importation of slaves into any port, or place within the jurisdiction of the United States from and after the first day of January, 1 80S.' " Etc. From the letter of August 28, 181 1, we quote : — "You will expedite, to the utmost in your power, the equipment of the ' Essex ' for immediate service. ' Push your recruiting, and let me know all your necessary wants, that they may be supplied, and order Lieut. Sinclair to hasten his operations with the 'Nautilus' also." * * * From the letter of September 12, 1812, we quote : — ■ " I congratulate you, sir, upon your successful cruise ; you will, without delay, prepare the ' Essex ' for service ; she will be furnished with every re- quisite supply & all necessary repairs made to her. "The Trophies sent by Lieut. Gamble have been received & will be carefully preserved. " With respect to the 'Alert,' the President will shortly desire whether he will take her into the public service or not. Could she not be altered so as to make her a good cruiser ? & if so at what probable cost. "All the arms, drums, swords and military stores, that you have taken during your cruize, that may be in good order, or that may be conveniently put in good order, will be purchased by the Navy Departmental a fair valua- tion, be pleased to have an Inventory of them made out & let them be valued by two disinterested competent judges & transmit such inventory and valua- tion to me, when an order will be given with respect to their disposal." 92 Miscellaneous.
