This is a letter found in Tyne & Wear Archives. Reference: DX-378-5-2
The letter is a parents address to his first born son on the day of his birth. The sentimental letter was written by James Davison of Low Fell in the late 19th Century.
This letter is taken from a collection sourced for the project Half Memory by musician Richard Dawson. Half Memory was devised by Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums in partnership with Tusk Music and Pixel Palace, resulting in a unique audio-visual performance inspired by museums and archive collections.
More images from ‘The Glass Trunk’ can be found here.
The contents of the collection resulted in his album ‘The Glass Trunk’ featuring songs inspired by items and images found in Tyne & Wear Archives by Richard Dawson.
These items and images ranged from songs and stories found in a 1791 scrap book, photography taken from collections documenting ships built in Tyne & Wear and photographic records of the regions social history.

Este es un recuerdo del marido de mi abuela, la de los jazmines. Yo no conocí a mi abuelo, al que mataron en la guerra. Este verano, trasteando por google, encontré en ebay este libro, escrito por él, del que no tenía idea. Yo sabía que había escrito libros de política, que nunca he visto. Mi abuela sólo hablaba de la guerra para pedir a Dios que sus nietos nunca vivieran una. Pero las casualidades quisieron poner en mis manos estos "Apuntes de álgebra". Cuando lo recibí, encontré una sorpresa más. Al ser un libro técnico, estaba escrito a máquina por mi abuelo y las fórmulas matemáticas son de su puño y letra. Lo escribió muy joven, con 25 años. Yo soy nula en matemáticas, parece ser que es un libro para primero de Ingeniería. Así que, aquí os dejo otro recuerdo alegre: reencontrarme con mi abuelo en ebay :)
My friend Erica has come into the possession of some beautiful old autograph albums from the late 1800s. They're filled with little drawings and exquisitely worded poems and well-wishes. Everything feels so formal and sincere. The quality of the penmanship from that period is unbelievable. Most of the signatures in the books, including this one, were written by kids in high school.
dopo aver studiato l'ennesimo biglietto della spesa giungo alle seguenti conclusioni.

This was another surprise I came across when going through old family memorabilia.
It is the very most ephemeral of ephemera, a gossamer-thin tissue that has the rates (with or without meals) and other information pertaining to a hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
My parents lived in Buenos Aires right after they were married in 1940, and I wager they stayed here when they first came to town - 76 years ago!
The hotel still stands and, from what I can gather, it's still really swanky.
It's impressive to note that seven trolley lines served the hotel and went to five destinations, while three bus routes ran nearby. The hipodrome was only eight minutes away from the hotel by taxi. Buenos Aires really was the Paris or New York of South America then.
It would have been fun to stay there when the dollar was still cheap, which was until about the start of this year.
Wikipedia says:
The hotel was built by Buenos Aires businessman and socialite Dr. Rafael de Miero, who had been to Paris in the early 1920s and wanted to bring some of that Belle Epoque grandeur to his then flourishing hometown.
He bought and demolished a large house on the corner of Avenida Alvear and Rodriguez Pena in 1922, which began the decade-long on-again, off-again project, which finally opened in 1932. A success, it was expanded in 1940, consuming another old mansion on Avenida Alvear.
In 1970, ownership passed to the 26-year-old Andreas von Salm-Kyrburg Wernitz, Duke of Hornes, Spanish cousin of King Juan Carlos I, who presided over the hotel's slow decline as a result of labour disputes and a general Argentinian economic stagnation. With bankruptcy threatening, in 1978 Wernitz sold the hotel to the Aragon Hotel Group, and since 1984, it's been part of David Sutton Dabbah's Alvear Luxury Hotels.
It was renovated in 1984, and again in 2004.
