The second carbon copy is of Rugg's confirmation of the arrangements.George Seldes [1890-1995] was an American investigative journalist, foreign correspondent, editor, author and media critic.

Condition: Very good. Brooklyn, NY, June 5, 1894., 1894. Very good. - Over 40 words in pencil on 10-1/2 inch high by 8 inch wide "The Standard Union" newspaper stationery. Apologizing about a lecture, the American newspaper editor and war correspondent Murat Halstead offers to contribute an essay to the American impressario and lecture manager James B. Pond's pamphlet, "I will contribute to your pamphlet 100 words on McKelway. When you receive it let me know." Signed "M. Halstead". Folded for mailing with minor creases and slight darkening along the bottom edge. Very good. The American newspaper editor and magazine writer Murat Halstead (1829-1908) was a war correspondent during 3 wars. He started his career writing for "The Hamilton Intelligencer" and "The Roseville Democrat" at 18 years of age and went on to contribute to several other newspapers. He bought interest in the paper while working as a local reporter for Cincinnati's "Commercial". Halstead reported on several battles during the Civil War and was a war correspondent during the Franco-Prussian War. He took over controlling interest in the "Commercial" and became president of the company when the "Cincinnati Gazette" merged with his paper. Moving to Brooklyn in 1890, he edited the "Standard Union". He went to the Philippines as a war correspondent at the start of the Spanish-American War. The article which Halstead mentions in his letter is about St. Clair McKelway, the editor of "The Brooklyn Daily Eagle". Halstead's own paper, the "Standard Union" was also in Brooklyn.

Add to basketLong's obituary in the New York Times, 6 September 1998, describes her as 'war correspondent for The New York Herald Tribune and The New York Times who covered the London blitz and the Nuremburg trials' and 'one of only a few women who were correspondents in World War II'. She had joined the New York Herald Tribune's London bureau in 1941, and subsequently married Raymond Daniell, chief of the New York Times's London bureau, joining that newspaper as a reporter in February 1942. An interesting letter, indicating that the United States adopted the practice of queuing at a surprisingly recent date. 1p., 4to. In good condition, lightly aged. The letter begins: 'We're delighted to hear that you will write the article on "queues" for us. | Mr. Markel [i.e. Pulitzer Prize winning editor Lester Markel (1894-1977)] has naturally set no time limit by which the piece is wanted, but I know that he is eager to get it as soon as possible, in view of the sudden apparition of long queues on the domestic scene in the United States. Would two weeks suit you?' Markel has requested 'a humerous [sic] article on the general theme of queues', and Long notes that 'There certainly seems to have developed a "queue psychology" in Britain during the past couple of years a subject full of fascinating possibilities'. She refers to a recent Punch cartoon on the subject. She continues: 'I don't suppose queueing [sic] has gone quite as far in the United States yet, nor are we, as a nation quite as patient or polite about such things. Nevertheless, I'm told that in Washington, particularly, people have to queue up at the station for taxis just as here, and I've seen references to queuing in shops etc.' The final paragraph discusses the editorial arrangements.

Add to basketAn excellent letter, casting light on the relationship between the editor of The Times and a senior correspondent. See the two men's entries in the Oxford DNB. Brackenbury's states that 'During the Austro-Prussian War of 1866 Brackenbury was the Times correspondent with the Austrian army, and was at the battle of Königgrätz (Sadowa) riding with Benedek under fire at Chlum and reported the naval battle of Lissa. He was the Times correspondent in the Franco-Prussian War, accompanying Prince Frederick Charles in the Le Mans campaign; and in the Russo-Turkish War of 1877, when he crossed the Balkans with Count Gourko.' 4pp, 12mo. Bifolium. In very good condition, folded twice. Thin strip from windowpane mount adhering to edges in not unpleasing way. Signed 'C. B. Brackenbury' and addressed to 'My dear Delane'. The letter begins: 'Captain Clarke brought me today the last number of his translation of the German War of 1870-71. He is sending you a copy and I hope you will find some one to review it in my place.' Brackenbury has himself translated 'the Report of the Committee on French Army re organization, together with the law as proposed and passed', which the War Office is publishing. 'You shall have the first copy issued which I will mark myself.' In his opinion a great deal of the report 'bears upon much more than French re-organization'. He will be very glad if Delane finds it 'worth a notice'. He continues: 'Though I may not write more on military affairs I don't see why I should not review other books if you can find any for me. Even if you have no space for them at present the reviews might stand over till the interest of the new parliament is over.' It seems to him 'unnatural to have no work in hand for you'. The postscript reads: 'They say that my review of Clarke's first number started the Intelligence Department.'.
