Charles Francis Adams, III [1866-1954] was a member of the prominent Adams family, the great-grandson of President John Quincy Adams and the great-great grandson of the second U.S. President John Adams. After graduating from Harvard Law School and being admitted to the Bar in 1893, Adams held the office of Mayor of Quincy, Massachusetts from 1896-1897. In 1917 he was elected as a member of the Massachusetts Constitutional Convention. From 1929 until his retirement in 1933 Adams served as U.S. Secretary of the Navy under President Herbert Hoover. While in office he vigorously promoted public understanding of the Navy's indispensable role in international affairs and worked strenuously to maintain naval strength and efficiency during a period of severe economic depression. Adams was a well-known yachtsman and was posthumously inducted into the America's Cup Hall of Fame in 1993.

'I have the pleasantest recollections of your kindness and courtesy to an obscure junior, and I look back with very pleasant feelings too to the five happy years I spent as a member of the British Museum staff.' He is sorry at the thought of the 'many honored figures' who are no longer there, but hopes 'still to find one or two who remember me'. He continues with references to the recipient's 'occasional articles in "Notes and Queries"', and to his 'reminiscence of the good old Quaker miller'. He sometimes meets 'Pollard & J. A. Herbert [.] at a little religious discussion society', but 'too seldom' meets with 'other old B.M. Colleagues'.

Further instructions from Lord St John are required, 'before the person calls for the bill'. From the Hankey & Co. banking archive.

She continues with news of Miss Fowler (visiting 'her Brother & Sister near Melksham in Wiltshire') and of 'Lady Buxton' (who 'does not continue quite so sound as we cd. have wished'), whose own 'Italian sojourn' gives 'pleasure to all the party'. With regard to the Cullums' own trip, she repeats her thanks for 'giving us so entertaining a history - & very glad shd. I be to hear the completion at N Repps Cottage'. She wonders if they ever 'come near this corner of the world', and thanks them for their 'truly kind wish to see me one day at Hardwick [.] The return to our dear Home was a [giant?] trial to me, & I know [sic] see by experience that real happiness once [reached?], is not to be [?] on earth'. She commends them for having taken 'a rest at Kissingen before entering on the great fatigues of home life', and thanks them for news of her 'old friend Francois', before concluding.

The Pippets of Solihull were a Roman Catholic family that worked closely on ecclesiastical designs with the Gothic Revival firm Hardman & Co (whose archives are held by the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery). Wilfrid also collaborated with J. B. Trinick on the striking illustrations to A. E. Waite's rosicrucian 'Album of the Great Symbols of the Paths' (1917-21; copy in the British Museum Department of Prints and Drawings). Eleven attractive illustrations in black ink (over pencil draft). Each on a piece of board ('Faced with Whatman Hand-made Paper'), and ranging in size from 16 x 19.5 cm to 15.5 x 13.5 cm. All in good condition, lightly aged and worn. Each is annotated in pencil, several with the line of poetry being illustrated, and some with instructions for transferring the illustration to a block. Several of the illustrations are to the ballad 'The Three Men of Yardley Chase', with one showing the three men (George, Ben and Hob) standing in front of a tree used on the front cover when the ballad was issued as a separate fascicule ('Part I', with 'Leather and Thread and Tears', 3rd ed, 1925). This illustration, and two others, are signed 'Wilfrid Pippet', while the other eight are signed 'W. P.' The most striking illustration (featuring on p.13 of the printed volume) is of the ghosts of the three men dancing over their graves around a tree with an owl in it. Two illustrations depict the doorway of the 'WHITE HART HOTEL | HELEN SMITH', one with three figures in Georgian dress in the foreground. Another shows the three men with 'Hedge-hog meat', and another (depicting a beggar with a raven on his shoulder is captioned with a line from the poem 'Base people bred to mar their peace'. There are also: a drinking scene (including mother with baby), a dandy admiring himself in the mirror with a woman in a bonnet behind him, a man and woman in Tudor costume, three men (with a badger) listening to a beggar with a crow on his shoulder, and two lovers, in seventeenth-century garb, in front of two trees with owl, pixie and white rabbit.

Condition: Good+. On offer is an original manuscript diary handwritten by a 45 year old woman still living with her parents in or near Speedsville New York in Franklin County. The writer mentions some possible clues as to who she is: "December 25th, 1923. The family Xmas dinner was enjoyed at Laura's. Those present were; Frank, Laura and Bernice Lant, Paul, Alice and Laura Mayor and father, Mother and Sister Lewis. We enjoyed a fine dinner and nicely remembered with gifts." Certainly this appears to be a daughter or sister 'in-law' to the Lewis family. Local collectors and historians will have many clues as she also states that on January 21st, 1918 her mother turns 64 and on January 22nd, same year, her father turns 69. She also maintains a super genealogical section with many generations of specific details. Here are some snippets of this 96 page diary: 1917 "December 25th, Christmas day once again. Father met Laura and family in Berkshire yesterday p.m. Brought them home to stay till this p.m. The weather mild and seasonable with good sleighing. We enjoyed a good but simple dinner. The following were at table. Father, mother, Flora, Laura, Frank, Alice, Bernice, Aunt Emma, and Mr. Baker. After enjoying the good things to eat, the table was cleared and then our little gifts exchanged, the money value not great but they were rich in love and all good wishes. Which are the most satisfactory of this life." "December 26th, The men began ice cutting today by the covered bridge. Ice 10 inches. Mrs. Stinerd called this p.m., brought her xmas gifts to show me including knitting bag. Growing colder tonight." 1918 "January 18th, Today is the first of five days shut down in all industries by order of government to relieve the fuel situation. We are having weather around the zero mark continuously." "February 2nd, Wind and snow. 30 below tonight. Clear today. This month begins food regulations according to government orders. Mon. & Wed's wheatless days, Tues meatless, Friday porkless. One meal each day, wheatless. Can buy only a certain amount of wheat, flour and must buy at the same time as much of some other cereal product. All bakers must make war bread. The nation is also on short rations of fuel and sugar." "March 3rd, Alice left us this morning at 9:15 to meet her people in Berkshire to return home. Seems lonesome without her. Wish we might have kept her longer. Services in St. John's today. Mr. Nanz kindly loaned me a book to read, "Meditations for every day in the year". I have been reading it and like it very much." "May 29th, Miss Root came today to make us a visit. She and mother went to Red Cross meeting this p.m. Raining tonight. Mrs. Lipsett and Mr. Hobson returned to their home from spending winter in N.Y. City. F. Maynard sold his farm to Mr. Holtman." "June 5th, All boys reaching the age of 21 years since June 5th, 1917, must today register for miller (?) orders. In Tompkins Co. Today is house cleaning day. Hired woman and two paper hangers. Ma went to Ber. tonight with Louis and Lydia." "August 8th, Old Home Day in Speedsville Park. I spent the day with Mrs. Lipsett as in former years. The weather was perfect till after the gathering broke up. Than a hard thunder shower came up." September 5th, This afternoon the funeral services for Mrs. Harry Boyer, two o'clock at the house. Pa, ma and F.B. attended. She was 45 years of age. Been ill quite some time. Left home only a week ago to Endicott Hospital. Aunt Jane came down here this forenoon. I have been ill in bed all day from sick headache. Raining tonight." "September 12th, Raining. Today all men between 18-45 who are not already registered must register for military or government work as needed for to help win the war." "October 16th, All day meeting of the Red Cross at Mrs. Leggs. Spanish influenza raging everywhere." "November 5th, 7th, 9th, and 11th, Election. A nice and sunny day.
