The letters provide a fascinating insight into the development of the transatlantic publishing industry. They are closely typed with single spacing, and both centre around Walton's employment situation and his complaints about the sending over from America of 'Mr. Russell', about whose 'absolute worthlessness to the business' he… complains. Adair's letter: 2pp., 4to. Good, on lightly-aged paper. The firm has 'not the slightest doubt' that what Walton has said in his 'confidential communication' is 'entirely sincere': 'We feel it is just such a letter as a really big man, having the interest of his employers at heart, would right. [sic]' They have complete confidence in Russell's 'integrity, honesty, etc.', but acknowledge that it is important 'that he expenses of the London Office be kept down to the last notch'. Russell is 'familiar with so many things that have been done in this country, and the manner in whcih either successes or failures have been made out of them', and is 'rather expert in figuring out the cheapest way to do things [.] A great many firms go to pieces not because they have not made money, but for the reason that they failed to save any of that made'. Wright's letter: 3pp., 4to. Good, on lightly-aged paper, with slight damage (not affecting the legibility of the text) to the third of its three leaves. He has delayed replying to Walton's letter as he 'wanted to take sufficient time to think over our London situation more carefully and to definitely make up my own mind as to what would be for the best interests of the business'. He is not surprised that 'Mr. Starmer' has made Walton 'a liberal offer': 'there are plenty of other newspaper men in England who would not be slow to recognise your ability and to make you a satisfactory proposition'. Walton is highly qualified 'to handle the large and successful papers'. Wright lays out the plans he has for Walton: 'I have away down deep in my heart a great degree of interest in yourself and I have taken up the matter of your future with my associates with the idea in mind that at the proper time you will be given a connection with the company in a way that will be highly satisfactory to you; in fact, I would not be at all surprised if an opportunity of absolute control of the English company would be given you'. In the meantime Walton's salary of £750 will be continued, and he will be assisted by a 'traveling man'. '[Y]ou have been with our company going on two years. You have seen evidenced in Sheffield and one or two other towns what our plan of operation is worth and at such time as the war is over and things settle down to calm conditions you will in my opinion be able to produce results over there that will be highly gratifying to everybody interested.' He considers that England is not 'in nearly as serious a condition' as America: 'in fact I believe that business has been affected as much if not more in certain lines in the United States than it has in England'. On the question of Russell's 'absolute worthlessness to the business, it would seem that backed up with a college education, coupled with what he has learned in knocking about this country for fifteen or twenty years, that he ought to be able in time and under the proper tuition of one more capable to at least earn a respectable part of his salary.'.

Condition: Very Good. On offer is a fascinating, original post Civil War 1869 manuscript diary handwritten by Anna Wright Hooker filled with entries revealing a keystone year in this Boston woman's life. The year finds Anna and her family headed by her important doctor-husband [Anson Hooker] at the top of the Boston social scene…: she and her husband socialized very frequently, going into Boston almost daily. They attended the famous Peace Jubilee in Boston that summer, for instance. Dr Hooker was always out tending to people it seemed, sometimes in the middle of the night. He stayed with a suicide victim for two days and Anna recorded the sadness of the event (a "broken heart" made him shoot himself in the head. The man had botched the attempt.) Anna also visited friends often, and were friends with the Hales and Bulfinches, upper crust Boston families of great regard. There were upper middle class to wealthy people, though Anna lived a rather humble life, choosing to take on the majority of the chores herself, primarily because of her young son. (Neddie, or Edward, also became a famous Boston doctor). In April though, the situation changed. Her daughter Martha was taken ill with some kind of rheumatism, which left her bedridden and in great pain for weeks. Only opiates eased her pain. About that time also, her husband's health began to fail. He first complained of a "lame arm", and began to also have pains and fatigue. He had always been quite strong, going out on as many as 4 calls a day (everything was a house call then for doctors). But around May, he began to show marked signs of failing health, Anna's horror and dismay is clearly recorded as she watched helpless as her husband's condition progressed from bad to worse. By autumn, Dr Hooker could barely get out of bed. He died in early November, and his funeral was attended by hundreds of people. He was, after all, one of the best known and well regarded Bostonians. All of this is recorded faithfully, no matter what Anna's mood. BIO NOTES: Anna Wright (1813-1891) was descended from a Massachusetts Bay Colony Pilgrim family as was her husband, Dr Anson Hooker (1799-1869). They married in 1834 and settled in Charlestown Massachusetts, where Anson became a very prominent doctor and an alderman for the town, among other things. He practiced medicine in Charlestown for 45 years and they had three children, one of whom, at the writing of this, was only 8 years old (Edward Dwight Hooker; 1858-1911)). This would make Anna quite old at the time to bear a child, as she was in her late 40s. She calls him Neddie, and he is mentioned every day, as Anna stays at home to care for him while her husband is out on calls. She had three siblings, Luther, Martha and William. Martha married Edmund Boynton. These people figure prominently in the diary, being all very close in proximity and visiting their mother Anna's large townhouse in Charlestown extremely often. Hers was a busy life, with the day's chores generally being mending (she received a Singer Sewing machine in February and raves about it throughout), cooking, and cleaning, as well as tending to Neddie. Overall VG. Size: 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall. Manuscript.
