|  | DEED TO ONE-HALF INTEREST IN PIONEER STEAM SAWMILL AND PROPERTIES, PLACER COUNTY CALIFORNIA 1860
| Light blue paper, 17 x 14 inches, folded in offical manner to 8.5 x 3.5 inches. An indenture specifying the sale of one-half interest in the Pioneer Steam Sawmill, located on owl creek about two miles from Yankee Jim's [sic] and including about three hundred acres of land togeher with houses, stables, lumber, machinery. Dated July 13, 1860 and recorded in Placer County California. Party of the first part was H.C. Hollinshead, party of the second part was Samuel Todd, who purchased this one-half interest for the sum of $2420. This area was in Gold Rush country, one wonders what became of it. A Samuel Todd was elected Sheriff of Placer County in 1854, perhaps the same individual. The deed is in good condition with a small oily stain about 2 inches long along the left (folded) edge, and some charming ink marks on the back where the recorder apparently wiped or tested his pen point (they are clearly the imprint of a dip pen nib).

|  | ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT LETTER 1844, RE AUSTRIAN POLITICAL SITUATION, ADDRESSED TO BRITISH M.P. FROM "AN AMERICAN":
| Seven hand written pages on two folded sheets, address on back of second sheet. Addressed to M. Milnes Esqr., M.P., House of Commons, 26 Pall Mall. The content of this letter describes the atrocities against the "nobility" that the "American" witnessed while living in Galacia, and the seething political unrest in Vienna. This was shortly before the revolution in 1846. He concludes, "But there are reforms, there is a revolution to come in Austria, & the man to lead that revolution is the present minister of finance, the Baron Kiebeck (sp?), a man taken from the people, & to aid him, men are training up in Austria¡K." He indicates that he is responding to a speech given by Milnes, and concludes, "I do not sign my name, because I am a humble individual, who for a long time have sought instruction & amusement, in looking at the World¡K." with a lot of high-handed rhetoric regarding the "high minded English feeling." The letter was posted from 1st Arundell ST., Patton Square, Haymarket, Tuesday Mng. 10th Aug 1844. Very Good condition, sheets are folded for mailing with remains of wax seal. EPHEMERA 4134 : , 1844

| An unusual survival of a fragile, unique, ephemeral imprint. First edition. This unique and rare promotional published at the time when speculation was rampant in the Aransas area appears to be part serious promotional and part squib.Not in CBC, Kelsey (Engraved Prints of Texas 1554-1900), or other sources. This publication appears to be part serious promotional and part squib. For example, the description of the area is perfectly straightforward in its description and praise of the area, as are the ads for Dignowity and Keith. On the other hand, the menu for the hotel and the explanation of its services are completely bogus, as is the letter in mutilated German printed on the inside of the back wrapper and the spoof menu on its verso (e.g., Ague Fits with Chilly Sauce, Cold Shoulder, Pulled Legs, Politician Larded with Hogg Fat, Cream of Society Pole Cat Soup, etc.). The point of this slender publication was apparently to interest investors and potential settlers with a combination of facts and humor. This pamphlet appeared at a time when speculation over the future of the area was rampant, and both money and people were pouring into the Aransas area. The Dignowity mentioned on the cover may be the son of Anthony Michael Dignowity (1810-1875), Czech-American writer, official, physician, abolitionist, and supposed swindler, who emigrated to Texas with a group of Arkansas volunteers for the Mexican-American War (see Handbook of Texas Online)-that is, if one wants to believe anything at all about this bizarre little fragment of Texas humor. Yet, today there still exists a C. L. Dignowity Addition in Aransas Pass. A unique promotional item. San Antonio: Dignowity, ca. 1896
