(Boston, Cocoanut Fire), City of Boston License to be a Common
Victualler issued to New Cocoanut Grove Inc., issued the first day of
January, 1937, until December 31, 1937, listing Benjamin Welansky
as President, with the address of “17 Piedmont Street and rear
entrance from Shawmut Street, for stock only, first floor,” numbered
934, one page, (with folds, edge chipping and light charring to
edges), sold together with fragments of other licenses, including a
“Permit to Sell, Expose for Sale or Deliver Ice Cream and/or Sherbet,”
numbered 1863, issued by the City of Boston Health Department on
May 3, 1940, through April 30, 1941, and the fragment of another
numbered 430, and issued on April 22, 1941, with two very small
fragments, one from the Bureau of Milk Inspection, (all with smoke
staining and edge chipping).

Note: On November 28th, 1942, The Cocoanut Grove, one of

Boston’s most popular nightclubs, had somewhere close to 1000
people enjoying its exotic “Casablanca”-style decor, and live music,
(although the facility’s official capacity was half that). Formerly a city
speak easy, the club had grown in size over the years, incorporating
sections of real estate along Piedmont and Shawmut streets, with
dark corners, and a cozy bar for secluded assignations. When fire
broke out in that bar area, the fate of 492 souls was sealed within a
matter of moments. Due to the nature of the building—including
obscured or locked exits, lack of exit signage, low lighting, and
narrow passageways—the fire, heat, and fumes overtook patrons
with hideous speed.

Benjamin “Barney” Welanksy, the club’s owner, who claimed

14
organized crime connections, and had friendships with several
crooked city officials during a time when Boston politics was rife with
graft, had kept the club operating despite numerous safety violations.
After the horrific fire, Welansky was convicted on nineteen counts of
manslaughter, and sentenced to twelve to fifteen years in prison.

This tragedy is one that will never be forgotten by the City of Boston,
and, by extension, the rest of the United States. Because of this
disaster, new fire laws were put into place that exist and protect us to
this day, including the use of non-flammable materials, sprinklers,
proper exit signage and emergency lighting and standardized,
functioning doors. All these things we now take for granted, but
would have saved hundreds of lives the night of November 28, 1942.

Text in full: Cousin (Augusta)/Your letter
accompanied by your likeness is received. I
do not think you are flattered in the least by
your likeness or else my memory serves me
wrong. I am very thankful for it. I will send in
return with this letter two of myself and am
certain that after comparing them with your
remembrance of my appearance you will
have a very incorrect idea of what I look like.
One is taken with my friend Washington who
I have mentioned before as being a rebel
officer captured by our troops at “Fair
Oaks.” Wm. Jordan has been exchanged
and is now on his way to the North, he
passed their place several days ago in
company with quite a number of our
wounded on board the steamer “Louisiana”
his wound was doing well. I do not know
whether he will go home or not. The
wounded would all be taken as far as
Baltimore and from there I do not know
what disposition would be made of them. I
sent word of his release to his friends so
that they could meet him at Baltimore if they
desired to do so.
Generals Halleck, Burnside and Meigs
arrived here yesterday from Washington to
consult with General McClellan they started
for Washington this morning. Nothing
interesting or exciting is transpiring here now
except the reviewing of the different Corps
d’Armee by them, commandant and General
McClellan.
“Everything is quiet along the lines” and
promises to be so for a period. I wish I could
write something to make my letter
interesting but I cannot. Remember me to
your parents. Ever Yours, George.

pages, to his cousin Augusta Frary, discussing the recent visit of
President Lincoln, his feelings on the war and his desire to visit her,
8vo, (minor smudging and pinholes in the gutter, two chips to spine).
Text in full: Cousin, Your letter was received this morning and read
with pleasure. I have been out riding all day. The President has paid
us a visit and today accompanied by Gen. McClellan and staff, he
reviewed that position of the army which is encamped in this vicinity
that occupied nearly the entire day. Yesterday the same party visited
the late battle ground. The President will probably return to
Washington tomorrow.
C. Jordon, a brother of William, visited me yesterday and remained till
[sic] this morning. His visit to this army was for the purpose of seeing
another brother who was wounded at the battle of South Mountain.
He started today for Baltimore to see William He told me that he
probably would return home by way of Niagara Falls. You ask me if I
will not be glad when the last battle is fought. So far as my country is
concerned I, of course must wish for peace and will be glad when the
war is ended, but if I answer for myself alone. I must say that I shall
regret to see the war end. I would be willing, yes glad, to see a battle
every day during my life. Now do not misunderstand me. I only
speak of my own interests and desires, perfectly regardless of all the
world besides. but as I said before, when I think of the pain and
misery produced to individuals as well as the universal sorrow caused
throughout the land I cannot but earnestly hope for peace, and at an
early date. Do you understand me? I intend to apply for a leave of
absence on or about the holidays, & after we have gone into winter
quarters, if my application is successful I shall certainly pay you a
visit. You spoke of having no one in your family to answer the call “to
arms.” Why can you not consider me your representative in the army
and centre [sic] on me the interest or portion, which you would have
done upon your brother. I should certainly strive to represent you and
yours with credit. Shall I become your protege in the army? Write
soon, Ever Yours/George.

Luther, Martin (1483-1546), Rare and important autograph letter signed, February 6, 1581, one page, in German, discussing upcoming
events and mentioning his public debates with Papal legate John Eck, “In Nuremberg they think he is not so much in favor of our
Wittenberg views...The persecutors congregate like wolves ready to devour a lamb...,” framed with an 18th century portrait after R.
Houston, (dampstaining, edges trimmed).

Translated text: Greetings! I arrived in Nuremberg on St. Franciscus day. I found some excellent men, and some who are rather timid in my
cause, so much so, that they even try to persuade me not to go to Augsburg. But I remain firm while mentioning these things. God’s will be
done. I shall go and see those grand and marvelous sights. Also in Augsburg, in the very midst of his enemies, Jesus Christ will reign. // Our
Eck is not as well spoken of here as I should like. In Nuremberg they think he is not so much in favor of our Wittenberg views, that he
should not seem ready to cause ill will against the Wittenberg theologians. I shall be very much displeased with him unless I learn something
different. The suspicion is heightened by this book I send you, compiled by some elegant by more than heathenish babbler. You will see,
that either he himself, or his adherents operate against us, or at least intend to; but he himself most of all is in the way of his good name.
Tomorrow I shall go to Augsburg with our Mr. Wenceslaus and some other friends, although I have been told that an exceedingly strong will
is being prepared for me there. The persecutors congregate like wolves ready to devour a lamb. May Christ live, but Martin and every sinner
die, as it is written. May all the sinners and wicked perish from this earth, so that they may be no longer. But the God of my salvation be
praised. // Fare you well and hold out, knowing that our work must need be reproved, either by men or by God. God, however, is true, but
man is false. Nuremberg. M. Luther. 1518, on St. Franciscus day [October 4].

Lost between the years 1719 and 1960, this remarkably rare letter was acquired by the father of the present owner. It is referenced in the
Weimar Briefwechsel, no. 96, reproducing only the first and last paragraphs. The Weimar editors took their material form Christian Eberhard
Weissmann’s Introductio in Memorabilia Ecclesiasitca Historiae, Stuttgart, 1719, 134 und 2. There is great conjecture as to the name of the
book and it’s author, the “heathenish babbler” referred to in paragraph 2. As Eck was beginning to lose face around this time period, it was
originally surmised that Luther was referring to Eck’s Obelisci, but Luther had referred to this work some five months previously.

words of consolation. It was in fact but her love for you, her fear to

Text in full (redacted areas in brackets): Of anticipation of the last
result, but a greater refinement already than is ever attained by man.
There is papyrus by the riverside, and rushes for light, and the goose
only flies over head, ages before the studious are born or letters
invented, and that literature which, the former suggest, and ever from
the first have rudely served, it may be man does not yet use them to
express.
There is a sort of humanity in nature which is not identical with man’s,
which yet serves him [and serenely smiles on him], but would much
more serve & bless the natural man with its sympathy. Material things
are to some extent man’s kindred, and subject to the same laws with
him. He and they follow one fate. Ever a taper is his relative, and
burns not eternally, but only a certain number of his hours. He
sleeps, and ever he wakes a taper is extinguished. Those tapers the
fixed stars, which are not both lit and burnt out in the life of a man
but it may be in the life of the race, which will be found extinguished
when woken from his waking sleep, are his more distant relatives.
Yet the farthest and largest star is but a lamp to light the way for
man. [Space is but so many of his hairsbreadth wide; the white
crescent on his nail is the unit of measure even for starry distances;
his middle finger measures how many digits into space; he extends a
few times his thumb and finger, and the continent is spanned; he
stretches out his arms, and the sea is fathomed.] His hairsbreadth or
his nail or his finger or his span or by his outstretched arms are the
units of measure...for starry distance. [These things] So much is finite
or measured by him & belongs wholly to the same sphere or natural
dynasty with himself. He witnesses [their] its birth and [their] its decay.
But what man’s life does not thus embrace, he sees from one side,
stationary and eternal, and it thrills him to behold.
I love to recognize my affinity to Nature in all things.

comprehending the whole of Virginia, Maryland, Delaware and Pensylvania, with additional tables and a folding

Charles Thomson, secretary of the Continental Congress; the 1783 draft of Virginia’s constitution; and the Virginia
Assembly’s 1786 act establishing religious freedom, 8vo, (map backed with Japon, binding with age-typical wear).

Note: Jefferson’s only full length book was an expanded version of a small questionnaire circulated to the
American Governors by François Barbé-Marbois inquiring as to the particulars of their respective states.
Jefferson’s answers were so voluminous that he became interested in publishing a small number of copies (about
200) for private distribution. After it was published in France, Jefferson had the map planned using source
material from many cartographers, including his father, and published this first English edition in 1787.

Note: Frequently referred to as the most important map in North
American cartography, it has featured prominently in many historical
events in the 18th and 19th centuries. Published by Andrew Millar
just prior to the outbreak of the French and Indian War, it takes a
decidedly Anglo-centric view of the Colonies, divvying up the choicest
parts of the Americas to Great Britain and shrewdly extending the
boundaries west of the Mississippi. John Jay used a copy of the
third edition of this map to negotiate the Treaty of Paris in 1783 at the
conclusion of the American Revolution and it was used in numerous
border disputes in the 19th century. Its use even reached into the
20th century during the 1932 New Jersey-Delaware dispute.
