Title: Frederick Douglass to Robert Adams [Page 1]
Creator/Contributor: Frederick Douglass (1818-1895)
Created/Published: Boston
Date created: March 23, 1888
Physical description: autographed letter signed
Summary: This touching letter was written by Douglass to Robert Adams, a well-known “conductor” on the Underground Railroad in Fall River, Massachusetts, on the occasion of Douglass’s 80th birthday:
“Do you know that yours was the first eyes that beamed kindly upon me in Fall River seven and forty years ago? My dear old friend, I shall never forget that look of sympathy you gave me. I was then only three years from slavery. I had not fully realized the possibility that a whiteman could recognize a colored man as a man and a brother but I saw such recognition in your face and have ever since, in sunshine and storm, felt safe in your friendship.”

This book of English heraldry was completed ca. 1589. The manuscript belonged to the Spencer family, as known through inscriptions on the first few flyleaves, including the motto "Dieu defende Le Droit" (God defends the right). This motto has long been associated with the Spencer family of England, which is the family line of Princess Diana, as well as the Spencers who were among the founders of Virginia. The Spencer family's heraldry is included in the manuscript, along with the coats of arms of numerous prominent British families, including the Hasting, Gray, Beuford, and Percye families. There is another similar book of English Heraldry in the British Library, Stowe MS 693, which was also completed at the end of the sixteenth century.

Scope and Content Note: This resolution and discharge petition from Representative Oscar De Priest, a Republican from Illinois, attempted to end racial discrimination in the House of Representatives' Restaurant. De Priest introduced in the House of Representatives H. Res. 236, which called for the creation of a special committee to investigate the House Restaurant's refusal to serve two African Americans, one of whom was a member of his staff. When the resolution got stuck in the Rules Committee, De Priest successfully used a discharge petition to move the resolution out of the Rules Committee and onto the House floor.

"April Wash DC 17th On duty at the gate in consequence of the effect produced by the awful tragedy of Friday evening. The whole community were paralyzed conflicting emotions, revenge, hatred, sorrow and mourning were mingled feelings dwelling in their bosoms. The gate was closed. Work was suspended in Yard till after due respect were paid the remains of our honored President by a funeral procession which required the cessation of government works and the assistance of employees to complete. During the day numbers of persons flock to the gate expecting ingress to yard but none were allowed in. Some expressed surprised at not being allowed in. Groups of men were collected here and there through the city conversing on the state of affairs. Soldiers (Cavalry men) and detectives were riding to and fro with rapid pace in pursuit of conspirators. Various rumors as to were suspicious characters were seen. About 4 o'clock PM an order came from Department to Yard requesting the military to be in readiness to take charge of prisoners that would arrive in evening. Hence the guard was in readiness under arms. About 8 1/2 PM two were brought in and taken down the Yard"

Set of photos of pages from an old Special Traffic Notice detailing the arrangements in connection with the introduction of colour light signalling through East Croydon and Purley on the Brighton Main Line some 60 years ago in May 1955.
Fascinating stuff for me to see in the 18 page document including (in no particular order):-
Twelve hour clock.
Blackboards to be exhibited in prominent positions (page 2).
Yeovil Town to Gravesend Central milk train (page 2).
Coulsdon North station being open at weekends.
Victoria to provide brake van for Redhill portion of diverted 9.30pm Parcels from Victoria to Brighton (page 4).
Light engine movements to Bricklayers Arms Shed.
'Road motor' replacement for staff between various locations.
4.45am & 4.50am (Pass & News) from London Bridge being diverted via the Mid Kent line, Selsdon and Oxted as well as running south of East Grinstead to Horsted Keynes and then via Ardingly to Haywards Heath. (page 9).
5.15am (Pass & News) from East Croydon to Bognor Regis starting from London Bridge and running via the Mid Kent line, Oxted, Crowhurst Spur to Edenbridge, where a Turnover Engine (TE) took the train to Redhill where another 'TE' took the train on towards the Sussex coast '8 minutes later thence' (page 9).
9.28pm (Pass & Postal) from Margate to Cannon Street running via Edenbridge, Crowhurst Spur, Oxted, Selsdon and the Mid Kent line (page 10).
The interesting freight movements on pages 14 & 15 (including empty wooden mineral wagons to Merstham) with trains either being worked by Electric Locos (EL) or Steam Hauled (SH). Some of the freights were revised to run via Horsham and Shorehan by Sea via Steyning.
District Inspector Anscombe had a busy couple of nights being in attendance at Horsham Yard from 11.0pm Saturday and Three bridges Yard from 10.0pm Sunday.
For me I think the best part is the simplicity of it all, just an 18 page traffic notice for introduction of colour light signalling over one Saturday night. 60 years on of course and there would now be Project Managers and the like and the line would be shut all weekend. Still at least things are more efficient now aren't they!................

Edison Pearl fountain pen inked with Pelikan Blue-Black. The quotation is one of my favorites, by Italo Calvino in Invisible Cities:
"The inferno of the living is not something that will be; if there is one, it is what is already here, the inferno where we live every day, that we form by being together. There are two ways to escape suffering it. The first is easy for many: accept the inferno and become such a part of it that you can no longer see it. The second is risky and demands vigilance and apprehension: seek and learn to recognize who and what, in the midst of the inferno, are not inferno, then make them endure, give them space."

"December 13, 1942
62nd day on Guadalcanal. Maytag came over last night. Our Navy had him perfectly in the lights. A.A. was close but did not get him. 20 men left by DC this morning. 45 more seats were empty but we didn't get the word. May tag dropped 4 eggs on new F4F strip. This morning, a bomb was found inside 3 P39's & a gas truck. 1 P38 was blown up when the starter was touched. Sabotage-that's bad! At 12:30, 14 fellows of 121 and myself left by DC-3 and landed in Santo, New Hebrides at 16:30. 600 mi. in 4 hrs. On trip to N.H. we saw a 3-ship U.S. convoy. We passed over Florida Islands and San Cristobal of the Solomons group. Ate chow at bomber strip.
December 14, 1942
Went to sick bay for blood test after chow. Went swimming in beautiful blue 75ft. deep lagoon. Hebrides is very beautiful but flies are awful. We came from bomber strip (17 mi. north) last night by truck. Joined many other boys here from our outfit. They have some victrolas here. Looked over the island and moved into 8 man with Leek, Barnes, Jones, Dean, Settle, Carr & Elliston. Went to show to see Remember the Day with Claudette Colbert & John Payne."

Josiah Brown of the town and county of Madison, being duly sworn deposith and saith ”That he was a volunteer soldier in the militia of the State of Connecticut and entered the service of the United States in that capacity immediately on the alarm of the Battle of Lexington which was in the year One thousand and seventy-five—that he continued in that serve in the capacity of sargeant until the next year when he was appointed by Governor Trumbull an Ensign in which capacity he continued to serve his country until the winter of seventeen hundred and seventy seven, when he was appointed by the Continental Congress of the United States, a Lieutenant in the half battalion in the Connecticut line, which half battalion was commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Miegs in a Regiment under the command of Colonel Henry Sherburne—that his captain was Elijah Blackman, in which capacity he served in the army of the United States until the spring of the years seventeen hundred and eighty at which time an application to General George Washington, he received by his order an honorable discharge at Morristown in the state of New Jersey.
The deponant further saith that in the year of 1796, while living near where he now resides his dwelling house accidentally caught fire, which together with its contents was consumed, that in it were his commissions, militia and continental, together with his discharge and all his military papers, consisting of journals, copies of orders, notes and memoranda of dates and every paper relating to his service in the Army of the United States, all of which were destroyed so that this deponant is unable from any document in his possession to be precise as to dates. Deponant is however from his recollection confident that he is correct as to years and seasons from his recollection. He is further confident that his continental commission was signed by John Hancock, president of congress.
This deponant further saith that he is now seventy-three years of age, is infirm and unable to support himself—that he has a second wife by whom he has four children, the oldest of whom is but fourteen years of age—that he has no property whatever and that for his own support and that of his family he has no reliance but upon his own labor and the assistance of his children by his first marriage, all of whom are in indigent circumstances and that he needs the sustenance of his country for his support. This deponant further saith that he has never received a pension from the United States nor has he ever until now applied for one and further saith not sworn and subscribed before me on this 9th day of April 1818

Blocked with no opportunity for defense or recourse. Facebook's reporting policy sucks & that's why people abuse it daily. Violence is OK but a burlesque performer doing a tribute at an anti-violence public rally is not OK. Fuck that. I'm not staying quiet about your BS protection of cyber bullies. It's wrong & I stand up to that kind of injustice. I'm well known for my bold, hard stances on issues that are important to me.
They blocked me after a prude reported several of my pics as being obscene. It's a huge double standard on that site & there's zero recourse for photogs or other creative artists if anyone finds your work "offensive".
FB allowed a vid of a woman being beheaded, that was up for over a month. They won't remove pages that show animal or child abuse with graphic images. However if an empowered woman does a burlesque tribute performance at a public annual rally on government grounds (BC Legislature Building), photos of that are deemed obscene. I was blocked for that BS. I am not staying quiet either.
Their site allows bullies to sit behind computers & abuse the report feature. If you ask them for help if someone is harassing you or clearly attacking you from multiple accounts - they refuse to help unless you have a court order. Can we say FUCKED UP?
I document real life & if that is offensive, then we are all in a lot of trouble. What happened to me, can happen to anyone who uses that site if you dare to take a stand on your beliefs & values. I am not bowing down to a social media site that gives more power to bullies, than they do to the people being targeted by anon cowards.
