• 19TH CENTURY SEAFARING, 15
  19TH CENTURY SEAFARING, 15 LETTERS BY J RUTHERFORD 15 readable documents related to Captain John Rutherford (1762-1814). A manuscript archive of John Rutherford, he was a captured Revolutionary war soldier and merchant seaman. During one of his many expeditions, in a correspondence dated May 11, 1800, the letter describes how he was robbed of his valuables after his ship, the brig 'Nathaniel,' was captured by a French privateer ship called the 'Little Liberty Commands.' Then a letter dated Oct 9, 1809 with the entry" I am once more a prisoner, I was captured by a small privateer...who took us to St Martins..." Following with another letter posted in a stampless cover from Norfolk, VA dated Sept 10th, 1811, having one entry describing his feeling about his brother who had escaped during the Great Newburyport Fire of May 31, 1811, when the bulk of the town burned down. With heartfelt advice using nautical comparisons. Another letter describes leaving Newburyport on August 15, 1809 in the schooner 'Two Sons,' as the master, and being captured by a privateer schooner. The master being Mathew Paien, and taken to St Martins with full discharge of goods being carried out and quantities listed. There are several deeds, a letter of condolence for the loss of his wife from a friend and some papers and correspondence of his wife Jane and a document dated Jan 14, 1784, historically the same day as the when the Continental Congress ratified the Treaty of Paris, officially establishing the United States as an independent and sovereign nation, from Ipswich, which came with the collection but with unrelated names, describing the pay and conditions for a person to work on a boat, with a total archive of 15 different documents.

• TWO LETTERS FROM ANDREW WYETH
  TWO LETTERS FROM ANDREW WYETH (AMERICAN, 1917-2009) TO ALICE MOORETwo Letters from ANDREW WYETH (American, 1917-2009) to Alice Moore, Monday, August 1, 1938; mailed Monday, August 1, 1938 My dearest, How lonely I feel now that you are gone. I guess the thing for me to do is to work like hell and try to stop thinking about you being so far away. Knowing you, I know has brought maturity in to my work and I feel now that I am really on the way to do brig things in the field of art. You are a real inspiration to me Alice and someday I am going to make you proud of me. All I can say is give me a little time. Was up at five o'clock this morning and over at Martinsville studying the effect I want to paint. This country is best in the early morning. Everything looks so clear, everything is so rich and damp and the little buildings stand out so bright. I can't write what I mean but I will paint it for you some time. Johnny Roberts came down with his wife last night. He went with your sister Peggy a few ago didn't he? He seems to be nice but dull. Don't bother to answer this note but I wanted to let you know that I was thinking of you. Will write a letter later. I love you my sweet, Andy Sunday, August 7, 1938; mailed Monday, August 8, 1938 My Dearest: Your note made me feel terrible, for two cents I would pack up and come down and see you but then I think of my future and what would happen to me if I don't make good and how you would hate me for that. And if I do make good I have a chance of having you with me for good, that is if you love me enough to do that. I do want you and God damn, if I am going to let you marry any one else. What a swell person you are to send me "Wuthering Heights," it's going to be a real treat to read it. I am going to start it tonight. We have been getting some pretty warm days here lately, no sea breeze at all, so you see Poughkeepsie is not the only place that is getting heat. Went out to little Caldwell's island yesterday with Walter. This is the first day I could work on it since we were over there with you. I thought of you the whole time I was there and wondered what you were doing at the same time. When you are away I think of so many things I would like to tell you but one thing sure is that I love you. I want you next to me - well, getting back to the island again and my picture of it, I worked for five hours there in the sun and I think I am building this damn painting in to something although there is a lot more to do on it yet. Have just sent all of my water colors which I think are any good home to be matted so that Mr. Macbeth when he comes on the 18th of this month will see them looking their best. Well my father arrived last week looking pretty tired out, in fact he arrived here with Bronchitis and is now in bed but today he is much better and I am sure he will be up and around in a few days. He sends you his best regards and is very sorry that he didn't see you this summer. Every one in the family certainly likes you Alice. Received a long letter from Winsor & Newton who makes my water color paper and they are entirely at a loss to provide any explanation as to why their paper should turn yellow. They tell me that this is the first complaint of this kind they have ever received. Have you looked at the water color you have of mine to see if it has turned? I wish you would. I certainly hope you can come up her over Labor Day, please try will you dear, as I am getting lonely and need you. But really I think you need me more. I hate to think of you way down there with no one to look after you. It makes me nervous as hell. Please don't work too hard because you have much more important things to do in this world than what you are doing now. Remember that now and get plenty of sleep and think of me now and then will you. I must say good bye now and get to work. I will meet you in my dreams. Love, Andy [in margin: I will write to you again in a couple of days.] Condition:
• FOUR LETTERS FROM ANDREW WYETH
  FOUR LETTERS FROM ANDREW WYETH (AMERICAN, 1917-2009) TO ALICE MOOREFour Letters from ANDREW WYETH (American, 1917-2009) to Alice Moore, Friday, September 17, 1937; mailed Saturday, September 18, 1937 My Dearest Alice: The rest of the family left last Tuesday so I am now very much alone. I have been thinking a great deal about you and realizing more and more what a splendid girl you are and what little hope I have of ever becoming your husband although I know we belong together, Alice, I know it as well as my right hand and by God, I'm going to do something about it. What I want to know from you is do you love me or is it hopeless? Please tell me the truth. I wish I could make you out. [Illegible sentence, crossed out] One minute you are very warm to me and the next, oh hell I give up - excuse me. Well I heard form N.Y. today and Mr. Macbeth is planning to give me my show the middle of October which is really a very good time. That means I have to leave here before I expected to though which I am sorry about and I think its worth it, don't you? Also I have been asked to have a one man show in Utica New York at the Williams Proctor Institute, which isn't so bad either. We have been having some foggy weather here for the past week so I have been working in the studio most of the time and have enjoyed it very much. It's really very cozy with the fire going. I think I have some good pictures started too. I hope you are well and that you haven't forgotten about me. I love you I love you I adore and want you but what's the use. Andy Saturday, October 2, 1937; mailed Saturday, October 2, 1937 Dearest Darling - Please, please forgive me for not writing since I have been working so hard that I forgot all about time but not about you I never can you are on my mind day and night and how often I have wished you could be here with me. I always thought that I would never need anyone as I need you . Alice, I want you to be near me always. I need you more than you need me I know although as time goes by I think you will change - I hope so anyway. Well, I have been working in Egg Tempera for the last two weeks and by God I like it I have done several landscapes and am now working on a portrait of a fellow who to me expresses Maine of today. Mr. Sidney Chase the artist who lives in Martinsville can't seem to understand why I should want to paint the worst drunk in Martinsville, but as I told him, I am not interested in painting the picturesque Maine of yesterday but want to paint it as it is today and to me this fellow is typical of Maine of today. I really think I am getting a good one. The name of the fellow is Charles Ervine, ask Jim Balano about him. Thursday I went to the Union Fair and had a swell time, went up with several fellows from the port. Mr. Ervine went also and passed out. I will tell about it when I see you. I want to get this in the mail so I had better stop by saying that I love you so much that it worries me. Andy [Accompanied by a black and white page of an exhibition catalouge depicting "Charles Ervine" by Andrew Wyeth] Thursday, October 14, 1937 My Dearest Alice, Just received word from Macbeth Gallery that my show opens October 19th, so I am planning to arrive in Poughkeepsie Friday night. Hoping that you will be there - Much love, Andy P.S. Could you let Bill Balano know. October, 1937, a Monday after the Macbeth show; mailed Tuesday, October 26, 1937. My Dearest Alice, Just a note to let you know that I am planning to call you from New York City Wednesday night about supper time. My show has gone well. I have sold everything and most of the reviews have been good. You have been on my mind night and day and how I do miss you. I had really a swell time with you in Poughkeepsie and I want to thank you my sweet I love I love you and I love you and by God just watch me. Excuse the terrible writing and also the shortness of this. I love you. Andy Condition:
