Ephemera. Condition: Fair. Dust Jacket Condition: No Dust Jacket. On offer is a fine example of a letter to a French doctor in Paris requesting his assistance. The letter is written in English. The author was on F. Cary to a Dr. Bourre in Paris. In his letter, Cary mentions two women by name a Mrs Giffard and a Mrs. Cary. The latter may or may not have been related to or married to the author. Cary mentions that the women as suffering from serious nose bleeds. He makes reference to an unnamed doctor who has seen them and written a report which was apparently enclosed with the letter. He requests Bourre to examine them. An excerpt of the letter follows: .I have nothing more to add than that Mrs. Giffard tho frequently appearing ill never makes any complaint and it is with difficulty that she will own that anything is the matter owing I believe to the difficulty nervous people have of explaining what they feel. After you have looked this over I should be very glad to see you. I leave Paris early on Thursday morning For a social historian, this is an excellent example of the polite correspondence and requests that can pass to or between professionals in 18th Century France. For a collector of medical memorabilia, this would be an excellent addition to a collection or library.

He had a long history of promoting women?s rights, this at a time when most politicians opposed it?He wrote, ?There is very much concerning the legislation for women about which I should like to consult with the advocates of woman suffrage.?Theodore Roosevelt was a strong supporter of women's rights. He advocated for it early in his career and made it a key part of his 1912 Progressive Party platform. TR thus became the first nominee of a major party to support women's suffrage.But his support for women?s rights began way before then. When he was a senior at Harvard, he read a thesis at the 1880 Harvard commencement ceremony - ?Practicality of Giving Men and Women Equal Rights,? - in which he advocated equal rights for women, including the fact that they shouldn't have to change their names when they get married. ?The man should have no more right over the person or property of his wife than she has over the person or property of her husband,? he said, a radical opinion at the time. Then when he was in the New York State Assembly, he introduced a bill for corporal punishment for wife beaters, in other words, an equality of blows. As police commissioner of New York, he introduced women to executive and other positions in the New York City Police Department.Fresh off his heroics with the Rough Riders in the Spanish-American War, Roosevelt was elected governor of New York on November 8, 1898. On December 2, 1898, as governor-elect, he addressed the New England Society in New York City, delivering a speech emphasizing a blend of morality and practicality, and the strength found in the Puritan legacy, highlighting his vision for strong, principled leadership as he transitioned to state politics. On that same day, also TR responded to a letter from Marcia Chase Powell, apparently asking him to include something in his inaugural address about women?s rights. Chase Powell was Secretary of the House of Refuge for Women in Hudson, New York, which sought humane forms of rehabilitation for women.At the time, the legislature was considering issues that included the expansion of women?s rights in education governance (notably school suffrage and eligibility for school offices), reforms to married women?s property and earnings laws, labor protections for women in factories and retail employment, and proposals for limited or municipal voting rights that stopped short of full constitutional suffrage.Typed letter signed, with additions in his hand, Oyster Bay, N.Y., December 2, 1898, to Marcia Chase Powell, stating that he wanted to consult with advocates of women?s suffrage. ?I thank you heartily, but I intend to put into my message only what relates to live issues at the moment. There is very much concerning the legislation for women about which I should like to consult with the advocates of woman suffrage.?Both Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton were residents of New York, and may well have been among those he intended to consult. He did, in the inaugural address on January 2, 1899, include a statement of his support for women?s rights.This is the only letter of Theodore Rosevelt we have ever seen on the topic of women's rights. We obtained it directly from the family of the recipient and it has never before been offered for sale.In 1912, in TR?s Progressive Party, women were given equal rights in a big way. His presidential nomination was seconded by Jane Addams. The Progressive Party even ensured that women would be represented on the national committee. Roosevelt championed women's right to vote, encouraging them to exercise it as a duty, and worked for suffrage legislation in New York, believing women's participation was vital for democracy, even pushing for them to own property and enter professions decades before the 19th Amendment.

Welles had written at the President's suggestion: "The largest naval force ever assembled is ready"Fort Fisher guarded the port of Wilmington, NC, the last port open to blockade runners supplying Robert E. Lee?s Confederate forces in Virginia?As 1864 dawned, Wilmington, North Carolina, protected by Fort Fisher, was one of the Confederacy?s last remaining major ports on the Atlantic open to blockade runners, and was the chief supply line for General Robert E. Lee?s Army of Northern Virginia. Navy Secretary Gideon Welles reintroduced the idea of a joint operation against Wilmington to the Secretary of the War, Edwin Stanton, but Stanton saw it as premature. After the Navy?s occupation of Mobile Bay in August, all eyes turned to Wilmington. In October 1864, Wilmington finally became the next objective for a joint amphibious operation. Admiral David Porter was chosen to command the naval squadron and General Benjamin Butler the army contingent.On December 24, the 63 ships of Porter?s fleet prepared to bombard the fort. Thirty-seven ships formed in three lines of battle, end-to-end facing the enemy. Just after midday, Porter commenced the Navy?s first bombardment of the fort and continued firing until it became too dark to aim the guns effectively. While the Confederate troops hid and huddled beneath the mounds of the fort, this bombardment actually did little damage, with the exception of the wooden quarters of the garrison, which were set ablaze. Butler?s force returned too late on that first night to attempt a landing. The next morning, December 25, the fleet resumed its barrage, while a naval contingent sought to secure a landing area for the Union infantry north of the fort. A group of sailors was sent to take soundings south of the fort, but Porter withdrew the sounding party after it became clear that the army group was making no progress north of the fort. The timely arrival of Confederate reinforcements caused Butler to question the strength of his position. He felt his forces could not take the fort without a siege, for which they were unprepared. Butler immediately began to re-embark his soldiers. On December 27, he called off the expedition and directed the transports to return to Hampton Roads. The U.S. Navy had suffered 83 casualties and the U.S. Army 12. Thus, the first attempt by the Union forces to close the port of Wilmington ended in failure. While Butler returned to Hampton Roads, Porter remained off the coast of North Carolina dedicated to preparing another attempt to capture Fort Fisher.Following the fall of Savannah on December 21, 1864, General William T. Sherman prepared to march through the Carolinas. Knowing Sherman could soon be in North Carolina, and ready to try to capture the fort again, on December 25 Porter wrote to Sherman, clearly expressing his frustration with Butler?s decision to abandon the joint operation. Porter was also in communication with Welles. With these communications in hand, Welles spoke to President Lincoln, who was all for trying again to take the fort. On December 29, Welles wrote to General U.S. Grant, in overall command of the army, that the President hoped that another joint operation might be forthcoming.Welles?s telegram to Grant stated: ?December 29, 1864, at 9:30 pm. The substance of dispatches and reports from Rear-Admiral Porter, off Wilmington, is briefly this: The ships can approach nearer to the enemy?s works than was anticipated. Their fire can keep the enemy away from their guns. A landing can easily be effected upon the beach north of Fort Fisher, not only of troops, but all their supplies and artillery. This force can have its flanks protected by gun-boats. The navy can assist in the siege of Fort Fisher precisely as it covered the operations which resulted in the capture of Fort Wagner. The winter season is the most favorable for operations against Fort Fisher. The largest naval force ever assembled is ready to lend its co-operation. Rear-Admiral Porter will remain off Fort Fisher, continuing a moderate fire to prevent new works from being erected, and the ironclad have proved that they can maintain themselves in spite of bad weather. Under all these circumstances, I invite to such a military co-operations as will insure the fall of Fort Fisher, the importance of which has already received your careful consideration. This telegram is made at the suggestion of the President, and in hopes that you will be able at this time to give the troops which heretofore were required elsewhere. If it cannot be done, the fleet will have to disperse, whence it cannot again be brought to this coast.?Grant responded to Welles immediately. Autograph letter signed, headquarters at City Point, Va., December 30, 1864, to Welles. ?Your dispatch of 9:30 p.m. 29th received. I will advise fully with the Sec. of War about what you propose. Please call on him for information. U.S. Grant, Lieut. Gen.? Thus Grant promised to inform Stanton ?fully? about the plan, and requested that Welles consult with Stanton to finalize it. Grant had told Stanton that he did not intend to correspond with the Navy Department except through Stanton, and this letter further indicates that.Porter had a good working relationship with Grant and a solid record of success in joint operations. Due to this, Welles was able to argue successfully with Lincoln for Porter?s retention as commander. In early January, Porter coordinated directly with Sherman and Grant about plans for a renewal of operations against Fort Fisher. As Sherman marched north, the port of Wilmington was now more important to the U.S. Army than it had been during the first battle for Fort Fisher. Butler rightly took the blame for the first expedition?s failure. For his replacement, Grant chose General Alfred Terry, one of Butler?s staff officers. Grant assigned him the same troops that had participated in the first attempt augmented with an additional brigade for a total of 8,000 soldiers. On January 4, 1865,
