Google
This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project
to make the world's books discoverable online.
It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.
Marks, notations and other maiginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the
publisher to a library and finally to you.

6 REPORT
The most popular books in December, 1905, were (in non-fiction): Roberts*
**Red Fox," Howells* ** London Films," Walmsley's ** Modern Practical Elec-
tricity" ; (adult fiction): Thurston's **The Gambler," Wharton's **The House of
Mirth," Tarkington's ** Conquest of Canaan "; (juvenile fiction) : Wiggin's ** Birds*
Christmas Carol," Lang's ** Red Fairy Book," Burnett's ** Little Princess."
Accessions.
Among the important accessions was a file of the British List of Flag Officers
covering the period of 1715-1829; our file is now complete from 1715 to 1845 with
the following exceptions, 1716-7, 1720-3, 1725, 1729, 1731, 1733-6, i738-47>
1749-58, 1760, 1768-9, 1840-42.
The set is bound in full red morocco and bears the bookplates of William
Henry, Duke of Clarence and later William IV. of Great Britain, and of his son
Rear-Admiral Lord Adolphus Fitz Clarence. There are many manuscript notes
by the Duke, and in several of the later volumes are notes by Gen. Charles
Richard Fox, colonel of the 57th foot, written in 1870 and showing that the set
had been given by the Duke of Clarence on his accession to the throne in 1830 to
his son, and by the latter bequeathed to his sister Lady Mary Fitz Clarence, wife
of the General.
Additional interest attaches to the set from the fact that the Library already
owned a long file of the British army lists that likewise had belonged to William
IV. when Duke of Clarence and had probably been given by him to his eldest son,
the Earl of Munster, when the navy lists went to the younger son, the rear-
admiral.
Among the important gifts of the month were: — 2 privately printed volumes
from Edward D. Adams, ''Mechanical and electrical inventions, comprising
machinery, n^chanisms, movements," by Ernest Kempton Adams, New York,
1900; from Mrs. Gertrude Welde Arnold, 2 copies of a list of books for children
compiled by herself and printed at the Marion Press, Jamaica, N. Y., 1905; from
Samuel W. Balch, a copy of his '* Genealogical chart of the Balch Family of New
England"; from the Herzogliches Museum, Braunschweig, the catalogue of its
collection of paintings; from several of the Audubon societies of the country, a
number of their publications; from the Deutsche Landwirtschafts-Gesellschaft,
Berlin, a copy of " Die Deutsche Landwirtschaft auf der Welt-Austellung in St.

REPORT
Library for the Blind.
Advantage is taken of the new law permitting books for the blind to be carried
free through the mails, to send to any part of the states of New York, New Jersey,
Connecticut, books not needed for immediate circulation in this city. Within the
city limits, also, books are sent by mail in increasing numbers to users who prefer
to avail themselves of this privilege rather than to call at the library for their
books, although the books must be claimed at a post office station as the free
carriage does not include delivery by carrier. The following table covering the

The proportional use of the mails is even larger than indicated above, since the
total circulation in the first column includes renewals. It is probable that at least
one-fourth of the books given or sent out to blind readers now go by mail. Ap-
plications for registration and reference blanks should be addressed to the librarian
in charge of the Library for the Blind, 121 West 91st Street.
The Library has in print no complete catalogue of its books for the blind; lists
of recent accessions have been printed in the Circulation Department's ** Monthly

LETTER FROM HON. JOHN BIGELOW ON A FRANKLIN
STATUETTE SUPPOSED TO BE THE WORK OF NINL
Hon. John Bigelow, President of the Board of Trustees, recently presented
two photographs of a statuette of Benjamin Franklin owned by Mme. Gu6rin
de Vaux, of Paris, hitherto undescribed ; together with two other photographs
of two somewhat similar statuettes of Voltaire. The Franklin statuette and
one of the two of Voltaire Mr. Bigelow believes to be the work of Nini the
Italian sculptor, his reasons for such conviction being set forth in the letter
printed below.
21 Gramercy Park, N. Y.
Dr. J. S. Billings,
Director of the New York Public Library.
Dear Sir:
With this note I send you two photographs of a statuette
of Franklin which was commended to my attention in a letter of which the fol-
lowing is a copy, that I received in the Spring of 1904 from Madame Guerin
de Vaux, its possessor.
" 18 Rue Pierre Charron, XVI
" Paris the ioth March.
" Dear Mr. Bigelow
I am most happy that the photo I could send
you was found interesting, and I shall be very satisfied to see re-
produced in print an object which is for me a family heirloom.
" My father Mr. Fournier des Orvres was indeed the great
grandson of Fournier le Jeune, who was a great printer and pos-
sessed much knowledge, born in 171 2 died in 1768. My father
was the last to bear his name ; my sister Mme. de Thore and I are
his direct descendants.
" Fournier le Jeune was very intimate with Franklin. At the
time of my birth, there still existed letters which they had ex-
changed and particularly the one which had accompanied the
sending of the statue. Unhappily they have been lost since, and
I am sorry to be unable to send you any written proof of their
** relations.
" The name of the author is unknown.
" Other reproductions of the statue possibly exist as I know for
" certain that some statues of the same kind have been sometimes
made — several in number. I know indeed two statuettes of Vol-
taire of the same type, and which are alike each other. (Mr.
d'Allemagne's collection and Musee Carna valet in Paris.) These
statues are made of a white paste, gesso or other composition;
they have been moulded and painted. The hair of the one we pos-
sess is certainly real hair of the great Franklin, which has been
stuck; the letter I named before mentioned it. The connaissor
Mr. d'Allemagne declares them of German workmanship.
Regretting to be incapable to give you no more clue con-
cerning the object you pursue, I remain
" Yours sincerely,
" Guerin de Vaux."

lO HON. JOHN BIGELOW ON A NEW FRANKLIN STATUETTE
These pictures have never been in commerce, and the only one of them
which has ever been published — ^that giving the side view of Franklin — appeared
for the first time, and only, in the Fifth Edition of my Life of Franklin, published
in April last. You will agree with me, I think, in regarding these photographs,
taken from the only plate ever made of the original, as not only a striking
likeness of one of our most distinguished men, but also a work of art of no
ordinary merit.
While in Paris last summer I took occasion to visit the two statuettes of Vol-
taire referred to by Mme. de Vaux as possibly being the work of the same
sculptor. Of these I send you also photographs, by which I think you will
readily agree with me that while the one in the Musee Carnavalet is unques-
tionably by the same artist as the Franklin, and was wrought in the same atelier
with precisely the same accessories, the other was wrought in a different atelier,
with entirely different accessories, and by a very inferior artist. M. Henri d*Al-
lemagne, its proprietor, told me that he bought it in Germany — I think in Ham-
burg— and deemed it to be probably the work of a German and also the work
of the same artist that wrought the Voltaire in the Musee Carnavalet. Neither
Mme. de Vaux nor the Directors of the Musee Carnavalet nor M. d'Allemagne
had any information nor offered any conjectures as to the author of either of these
works. This was largely due, I presume, to the fact that neither of them knew
much if anything more about Franklin than his name.
I was not long in reaching the conclusion that Madame de Vaux's statuette
of Franklin and the Carnavalet statuette of Voltaire were the work of Nini,
an Italian, whose medallions, as you doubtless are well aware, are among the
most famous of his period; and that none among them are more valued by
connoisseurs and collectors than his medallions of Franklin. I will briefly state
the grounds of my faith.
Jean Baptiste Nini was a native of Urbino in Italy and was born in 1716,
one year after the death of Louis the Fourteenth. He died in 1786. The latter
half of his life he resided in France. When about forty years of age, he estab-
lished himself in the humble village of Chaumont. Le Ray de Chaumont, while
Intendant of the Hotel Royal des Invalides, acquired tlie seigneurie of Chaumont,
on which he discovered a remarkably fine quality of clay for artistic purposes. He
also discovered in Nini, who had already acquired reputation as an engraver
on glass, peculiar talents for utilizing that clay. He attached Nini to him on
a salary of 1,200 francs a year, with lodging, heat and light. Nini began there
with engraving on glass and in amusing himself in reproducing on glass the
compositions of Boucher. The remarkable plasticity of the clay at Chaumont
at length led him to turn his attention to medallions, which he baked in a pottery
established on the estate and which were put on the market at the moderate
price of 20 sols (cents) apiece. In 1778, as this business with his fame extended,
Nini became Director (Regisseur) of the establishment founded at Chaumont
by Le Ray, as his patron was usually called. This position he retained until
his deatli.
During Franklin's entire sojourn in Paris he occupied a house on the estate
at Passy of Mre. Le Ray, Chevalier Seigneur de Chaumont-sur-Loire et autres
HON. JOHN BIGELOW ON A NEW FRANKLIN STATUETTE I I
lieues, Conseillier du Roy en ses Conseils, Grand Maitre Honoraire des Eaux et
forets, Intendant de Thotel des Invalides y dem't. Paroisse Saint Louis — for
it took all these titles to properly describe him in his contract with Nini — ^and it
was through Le Ray that Franklin, until recpgnized as Minister of the United
States, held what intercourse he had with the government of France. Their re-
lations therefore were of the most intimate character. He necessarily fell into
correspondingly intimate relations with Nini, who appears to have found him
his most profitable model.
The most recent and the most detailed account of this eccentric artist* gives
the record of 109 of his medallions, sixty of. which are in the Collection of the
late Prince A. de Broglie. There are nine medallions of Franklin alone, and
five of these belong to the de Broglie collection. None of the eminent sitters
for Nini are represented by half as many pieces as Franklin; yet among these
were Maria Theresa of Austria, her daughter, Marie Antoinette, Queen of
France; three of Louis XV.; Louis XVL; Due de Berry; the Empress Cathe-
rine of Russia ; Voltaire ; Le Ray de Chaumont and Therese his wife ; the Count
de Caylies; Charles IIL of Spain; and three heads in one medallion of Nini
himself, his wife and daughter.
The resources of Nini's genius are nowhere better illustrated than in the
variety of his portraitures of Franklin. Four of these portraits have the same
features but their dates and legends are different. They have in some sort the
air of being official portraits of the Savant and the Statesman. Others repre-
sent him in a more intimate and familiar guise. In one he wears a fur cap, the
reproduction of which has made his features universally known. Another in
all respects similar but much rarer shows him with spectacles on his nose.
This differs from the two first in the coiffure. The fur cap is exchanged for a
long bonnet of liberty like those worn by the Neapolitan fishermen.
It deserves to be remarked here that in the statuette at the Camavalet
Museum, obviously the work of the same artist as that of Franklin, Voltaire's
head is covered with a Liberty Cap, showing that it was a kind of head dress
which the artist was fond of using with sitters like Voltaire and Franklin whose
political principles would permit him to use it occasionally.
The medallion of Franklin in the fur bonnet is quite the most wide-spread
of Nini's work. It was sent to the United States by thousands in barrels. Some
of these barrels have since his death been found at Chaumont and some at Nantes,
which had never progressed farther toward their destination.
Nini spent fourteen years of his life at Chaumont and they covered all of the
years of Franklin's official residence in France. Nothing could be more natural
than for Franklin to be drawn into close relations with Fournier-le-Jeune, who
was unquestionably the most original and the most famous type-founder that
France has ever produced, — obeying the same laws of attraction which had
bound him in such intimate relations with William Strahan, a leading printer in
England during Franklin's residence there, — and nothing more natural than that
Franklin should have presented to Foumier-le-Jeune the statuette which is now
the priceless inheritance of Mme. de Vaux.

I 2 HON. JOHN BIGELOW ON A NEW FRANKLIN STATUETTE
Franklin left Paris in 1785, the year before N'ini's death. Durin<;^ the pre-
vious nine years Nini made more medallions of Franklin than of any other per-
son, and must therefore have come into such relations with him as could scarcely
fail to have been familiar if not intimate, and which at least dispel any im-
probability of this statuette being his work; for Nini was a dwarf, barely four
feet in height. He w^as original to eccentricity ; he was fond of good cheer and
dreaded the cold. His dress was exceedingly conspicuous and was worn in a
way to give his person a most bizarre and grotesque appearance. He cultivated
nails excessively long. When once asked if they had anything to do with
his success as an Artist, he drew from a shabby armoire a psalterion — a sort of
harp or zither — on which he played delightfully w^ith his nails. It is not sur-
prising that a person who was in so many ways an exception to his species
should have amused himself in leisure moments by making these statuettes of
sitters like Voltaire and Franklin who were intelligent enough to appreciate
his genius and wise enough to appear blind to his peculiarities.
If circumstantial evidence alone can ever prove anything, I think I have said
enough to conclusively settle the authorship of this statuette and its value as a
memorial of Franklin. This presumption is strengthened by the fact that no other
artist's name has been or can be suggested whose relations with Franklin or with
Nini would justify even a suspicion that either of these statuettes was his work.
Should you, Mr. Director, after these explanations, think the accompanying
photographs worthy of being included in the Collection of Frankliniana which
you are making for the Bulletin, they are quite at your service.
Yours truly,
John Bigelow.

Gentlemen,
I received the Honour of your Letter dated Dec"*- 21. containing a distinct
Account of the Proceedings at Boston relative to the Tea imported there, and of
the Circumstances that occassioned its Destruction. I communicated the same
to Lord Dartmouth, with some other Advices of the same Import. It is yet un-
known what Measures will be taken here on the Occasion; but the Clamour
against the Proceeding is high and general. I am truly concerned, as I believe
all considerate Men are with you, that there should seem to any a Necessity for
carrying Matters to such Extremity, as, in a Dispute about Publick Rights, to
destroy private Property: This (notwithstanding the Blame justly due to those
who obstructed the Return of the Tea) it is impossible to justify with People
so prejudiced in favour of the Power of Parliament to tax America, as most
are in this Country. As the India Company however are not our Adversaries,

and the offensive Measure of sending their Teas did not take its Rise with them,
but was an Expedient of the Ministry to serve them and yet avoid a Repeal of
the old Act, I cannot but wish & hope that before any compulsive Measures are
thought of here, our General Court will have shewn a Disposition to repair the
Damage and make Compensation to the Company. This all our Friends here
wish with me ; and that if War is finally to be made upon us, which some threaten,
an Act of violent Injustice on our part, unrectified, may not give a colourable
Pretence for it. A speedy Reparation will immediately set us right in the Opinion
of all Europe. And tho' the Mischief was the Act of Persons unknown, yet as
probably they cannot be found or brought to answer for it, there seems to be
some reasonable Claim on the Society at large in which it happened. Making
voluntarily such Reparation can be no Dishonour to us or Prejudice to our
Claim of Rights, since Parliament here has frequently considered in the same
Light similar Cases; and only a few Years since, when a valuable Saw-mill,
which had been erected at a great Expence was violently destroyed by a Number
of Persons supposed to be Sawyers, but unknown, a Grant was made out of
the Publick Treasury of Two Thousand Pounds to the Owner as a Compensa-
tion. I hope in this freely (and perhaps too forwardly) expressing my Senti-
ments & Wishes, I shall not give Offence to any. I am sure I mean well ; being

till the Result of your Congress should arrive. The Coolness, Temper, & Firm- •
ness of the American Proceedings; the Unanimity of all the Colonies, in the
same Sentiments of their Rights, & of the Injustice offered to Boston; and the
Patience with which those Injuries are at Present borne, without the least Ap-
pearance of Submission; have a good deal surprized and disappointed our

Enemies, and the Tone of publick Conversation, which has been violently against
us, begins evidently to tume; so that I make no doubt that before the meeting
of Parliament it will be as general in our Favour. All who know well the state
of things here, agree, that if the Non Consumption Agreement should become
general, and be firmly adhered to, this Ministry must be ruined, and our Friends
succeed them, from whom we may hope a great Constitutional Charter to be Con-
firmed by King Lords & Commons, whereby our Liberties shall be recognized
and established; as the only sure Foundation of that Union so necessary for our
Common Welfare. You will see a stronger Opposition in our Favour at the
next Meeting of Parliament than appeared in the last. But as I have said in
former Letters, we should depend chiefly upon ourselves. The uncertainty of
safe Conveyance prevents my being more particular, or adding more at present,

London, Oct. 6. 1774.
Sir,
Since my last to you, whch went pr Capt. Foulger, the Parliament, by a
sudden & unexpected Resolution in the Cabinet has been dissolved. Various
are the Conjectures as to the Motives; among which one is that some Advices
from Boston, imparting the Impossibility of carrying on Government there under
the late Acts of Parliament, have made it appear necessary that a new Election
should be got through before any Ferment arises here among the Manufacturers,
which if it happen during the Elections (as might be expected if the old Parlia-
ment had gone on to finish its Term,) would probably have been a means of
Outing many of the Court Candidates. As yet it does not appear that there
is any Intention of Changing Measures : But all intelligent Men are of Opinion,
that if the American Congress should resolve on the Non-consumption of the
Manufactures of Brittain, this Ministry must go out, and their late Measures
be all reversed. As such a Resolution, firmly adhered to, would in a peacable
and justifiable way do everything for us, that we can wish, I am grieved to
hear of Mobs & Violence, and the pulling down of Houses, which our Friends
cannot justify, and which give great Advantage against us to our Enemies.
The Electors of the Cities of London & Westminster, the Borough of South-
wark, the County of Middlesex, and some other Places, have exacted of their
Candidates Engagements under their Hands that they will among other things
endeavour a Repeal of the late iniquitous Acts against America, and tis supposed
l6 LETTERS OF FRANKLIN ON PUBLIC AFFAIRS, 1773-17S7
the Example of the Metropolis will be followed in other Places, and would have
been nearly general if the Election had not been thus precipitated. The Bishop
of St. Asaph's intended Speech*, several Copies of which I sent you, and of
which many Thousands have been printed and distributed here, has had an
extraordinary Effect, in changing the Sentiments of Multitudes with regard
to America. And when the Result of the Congress arrives, and the Measures
they resolve to pursue (which I confide will be wise & good, entered into with
Unanimity, and persisted in with Firmness) come to be known and considered
here, I am persuaded our Friends will be multiplied, and our Enemies diminished,
so as to bring on an Accommodation in which our undoubted Rights shall be
acknowledged and established. This, for the common Welfare of the British
Empire, I most ardently wish. But I am in perpetual Anxiety lest the mad
Measure of mixing Soldiers among a People whose Minds are in such a State
of Irritation, may be attended with some sudden Mischief: For an accidental
Quarrel, a personal Insult, an imprudent Order, an insolent Execution of even
a prudent one, or 20 other things, may produce a Tumult, unforeseen, and there-
fore impossible to be prevented, in which such a Carnage may ensue, as to
make a Breach that can never afterwards be healed.
I pray God to govern every thing for the best; and am with the greatest
Esteem & Respect,

Sir,
I wrote to you a few Days since, and have little to add. The Election for
Lord Mayor ended on Saturday, when Wilkes was chosen by a great Majority
both of the Livery & of the Aldermen; and 'tis thought he will carry the Elec-
tions of 4 Members for the City, 2 for the Borough of Southwark. 2 for West-
minster, and 2 for the County of Middlesex, himself one of the latter; all of
whom have subscrib'd an Engagement to endeavour a Repeal of the late Acts

doubtless be a Majority in the new Parliament for its Measures, whatever they

are: For as most of the Members are bribing or purchasing to get in, there is
little doubt of their selling their votes to the Minister for the time being, to re-
imburse themselves. Luxury introduces Necessity even among those that make
the most splendid Figures here; this brings most of the Commons as well as
Lords to Market; and if America would save for 3 or 4 Years the Money she
spends in the Fashions & Fineries & Fopperies of this Country, she might buy
the whole Parliament, Minister and all.
It is said 3 Ships of the Line are fitting out to join the Fleet at Boston;
for what purpose I cannot imagine, since it does not appear that those already
there are insufficient to block up that Fort.
Some of the ministerial People seeing things turn out in America contrary
to what they had been made to expect, begin to blame Hutchinson for mislead-
ing them. And Gen. Gage, who when going was talked of as a cool prudent
Man, & therefore fit for the Service : is now spoken of as peevish, passionate and
indiscreet ; for which indeed several particulars of his Conduct appear to afford
good Grounds.
All here are impatient to know the Result of your Congress.
The two last Letters I have receiv'd from you, are of April 30, and June

vented your Writing.

which the King's Troops were evacuating Jersey as fast as they could. It is added,
that the Accounts say 3 Battallions of the Hessians behav'd ill, & threw down
their Arms, surrendering themselves Prisoners without Necessity, from whence
it is concluded at London that they had been tampered with by " Congressional
Emissaries," and this has alarm'd the Court, and given a Distrust of Foreign
Mercenaries, so that tis thought no more will be engag'd. All the Hessian
Colours were taken, & 8 Pieces of Brass cannon. All the Commissaries Stores
assembled at Burlington for the Enterprise against Philadelphia also fell into
our Hands. — This News is all from London; — we are yet without any direct
Intelligence, therefore cannot give it as certain. I have omitted that in the
two Actions between Trenton & Princetown, and at Princetown, the English
own they lost 400 killed with 10 officers, the Number of Wounded not mentioned.
— Gen'- Lee is said to be taken Prisoner by the Enemy; but that News, tho'
possibly true, comes so indirectly as to have still some room to doubt. The
Troops at New York were very sickly. Providence not taken nor likely to be

were ordered from Rhodeisland to the Eastern Shore of Maryland, perhaps to
aid the then intended Invasion of Pennsylvania. —
We have heard nothing of M. Merele since he left Paris. Consulting M"^*
de V. concerning the Demand, he advis'd against making it for several Reasons,
on which it is laid aside for the present. I will mention to the Congress what
you propose concerning the Cruelties on Long Island. I remember to have
heard before I left America, that some young English Officers valued themselves
on an Expedient by which they had exasperated the Hessians against the Ameri-
cans while yet on Staten Island; vis. a Man happening to die suddenly in the
night, they caused him to be scalp'd & horridly mangled, and the next Day show'd
him to the Hessians in one of their Uniforms, as a Hessian murdered by the
Provincials. —
Sir Roger Grand & Mr. B. are gone to Holland, to forward the Business
there. —
Capt. Wickes is returned to L'Orient with 5 Prizes, taken on the coast of
Portugal: One a Packet from Falmouth to Lisbon, with 18 Guns & 50 men.
The others a Ship from Pool with Fish, one from Shetland with Barley, one
from Ireland with Flour; & one for Bristol with Wine and Brandy. He has
made near 100 Prisoners. At his Request we have proposed to the English
Ambassador here, an Exchange for as many Americans taken by the Raison-
nable; but have received no Answer; indeed we did not expect any. Wickes
meets with Difficulties at TOrient about his Prizes. We are solliciting here
for some Favour to him, but as yet have no explicit Answer. M""- Dean is gone
again to day to Versailles. — Perhaps we might be more favoured in Spanish
Ports. Tho' people tell us that this Court is offended with the late conduct of
Britain (which was insolent on its supposed success in America) and begins
now to use a Ton that indicates a Rupture: But these are Notices not to be
rely'd on. I am now removed to Passi, but am almost every Day at Hotel
d'Hambourg with M*"- Deane, who begins to talk afresh of going northward. —
The enclos'd directed to John Thomson was put into my Hands by a Person
from England, who told me he believ'd it was for me. I accordingly open'd
and perused it; and judging it by the last Paragraph to be from a Friend of
yours I answered it by the Return of the same Person to Tower Hill. I have
since received one directed to you, which is also enclos'd. Capt. Nicholson is
retum'd, and the Cutter with Capt. Hynson is arriv'd at Havre. M. Hodge
has not yet succeeded at Dunkirk, but expects. The taken Packet will I believe
be fitted out as a Cruiser, being said to sail well.

is become better satisfied. He din'd with us last Week.

Dear Sir,
By this Conveyance the Treaties we have concluded here go over to Congress.
I flatter myself they will meet with Approbation. If there sh"* be any Particulars
which the Congress would wish to be changed or added, there is at present an
exceeding good Disposition in this Court to oblige ; and no Proposition tolerably
reasonable will meet with Difficulty. But the way will be to ratify these Treaties,
and then propose separate additional or explanatory Articles.
I send you enclos'd some Notes just received from a Member of P. in which
you will see something of the present Court Views : But we have fuller Advices
on one particular, yiz. That their great Hope is to divide, by means of their Com-
missioners. They say they have certain Advice that they have a large Party in
the Congress, almost a Majority, who are for returning to the Dependency. In
the enclos'd Copy of a Letter to M""- Hartley you will see my Sentiments of
their two Bills, as well as in our general Letter. — I have but little Time. D""
Cooper will show you what I have written to him. America at present stands
in the highest Light of Esteem & Respect thro'out Europe. A Return to De-

You may observe in the Letter to M'- Hartley, a Hint that the Commissioners
might come to Paris & treat with us. We have indeed no express Power to

LETTER FROM HON. JOHN BIGELOW ON THE AUTHORSHIP OF
THE BISHOP OF ST. ASAPH'S " INTENDED SPEECH," OF 1774.
21 Gramercy Park,
January 15, 1906.
Dr. J. S. Billings,
Director of the New York Public Library,
My Dear Sir:
I notice in the collection of newly discovered letters from Dr.
Franklin to be printed in the next Bulletin, one addressed to the Honorable
Thomas Gushing, dated London, Oct. 26, 1774, in which occurs the following
passage :
" The Bishop of St. Asaph's ' Intended Speech', several copies
of which I sent you and of which many thousands have been printed
and distributed here, has had an extraordinary effect in changing the
sentiments of multitudes with regard to America."
I think I shall be taking no undue liberty with the fame of the eminent prelate
here referred to when I express my conviction that no one familiar with the
political conditions under which this pamphlet appeared could read it half
through without feeling that there was no man, in England or elsewhere in 1774,
who could have written this discourse but Benjamin Franklin.
Quite aside, however, both from the form and the matter of this document,
which will be almost decisive with many as it was with me, there are other abun-
dant reasons against its being regarded as the work of the Bishop of St. Asaph's
or of any other English bishop.
As already intimated, there was nothing in either of the editions of the
pamphlet — ^there were four issued by Cadell in 1774 and one in 1782 — giving
any intimation of its parentage. It is entitled simply " A Speech intended to
have been spoken on the Bill," &c. It does not state, but seems to deliberately
avoid stating, who it was that " intended " that it should be spoken on that
occasion. Had the speech been prepared by some one else than the bishop, that
is the form in which the bishop, if he consented to its publication, must have
required it to be announced.
The writer of the most recent biographical sketch of the bishop — ^the one
which appears in the English- National Biography — does not give the exact title
of the speech, but refers to it as " a speech which for some reasons he had not
delivered — it was considered a masterpiece at the time." This writer never
found any reason for the speech not being delivered, probably because he never
looked for any.
If Franklin wrote the speech he might with truth have said it was intended
to be delivered in the House of Lords. To go forth with the authority of a
member of the House of Lords implied a careful concealment of his own hand
in the business; while, for the Episcopal character, it was equally important to
23
24 HON. JOHN BIGELOW ON THE BISHOP OF ST. ASAPH'S "INTENDED SPEECH"
have nothing in the title which imported that the Bishop had written what he
had not written, or if he had written it, to explain why it was not delivered
in the forum for which it professed to have been prepared.
Franklin had been for many years an intimate friend of the bishop. It
was at Twyford, the bishop's country home, that, in 1771, " expecting the en-
joyment of a week's uninterrupted leisure in my present country retirement,"
he tells us, he set himself down to write his famous autobiography. He man-
aged to make the bishop almost if not quite as much of a Republican as himself.
At the time the speech was written the primacy of the House of Bishops was
understood to be the bishop's fair expectancy. That he failed to reach it was
attributed to his sympathy with the colonists and to his opposition to the coer-
cive policy of the government towards its American colony. There was
but one other bishop who voted with him against the repeal of the colonial
charter.
Cadell, the original publisher of the speech, issued four several editions in
1774 and one eight years later. Another London edition was also published
in 1774 by Goadby & Berry.
There probably was nothing of equal length published about American affairs
during the reign of George HI. which had so wide a circulation in England in
a single year, if in any number of years, not excepting the primer copy of Dr.
Franklin's examination before the House of Commons on the bill introduced
for the repeal of the Stamp Act in 1776.
Aside from internal evidence, probably the most conclusive proof that the
Bishop was not and Franklin was the author of this speech, may be found in
the circumstances that no allusion to such a speech is made in any correspondence
between Dr. Franklin and the Bishop, nor, so far as has yet transpired, be-
tween the Bishop and any other person. Franklin however in a letter to Miss
Shipley on the occasion of her father's death, wrote:
" His (the Bishop's) Sermon Before the Society for propagating
the Gospel and his * Speech Intended to have been Spoken ' are
proofs of his ability as well as of his humanity. Had his counsels
in those speeches been attended to by the ministers, how much
bloodshed might have been prevented and how much expense and
disgrace to the nation avoided."
This and the passage I have cited from the letter to Gushing are the only
instances in which Franklin appears ever to have referred to this subject, and
upon the theory that that speech was a secret between him and the Bishop, what
else could he or should he have said. He could not well have spoken words of
commendation to Miss Shipley of the Sermon before the Society for Propagat-
ing the Gospel and not referring to the much more notable " Speech Intended to
have been Made " without implying more than he wished to imply. By putting
the two speeches together they constituted the asserted proofs of the Bishop's
ability and humanity, and had the counsels to which the rumor of his author-
ship gave weight and currency been taken, the results indicated by Franklin
would also probably have followed.
The official and colorless statement of the copies sent to Mr. Gushing rather
strengthen than weaken the impression that the topic was one upon which it
HON. JOHN BIGELOW ON THE BISHOP OF ST. ASAPH'S "INTENDED SPEECH" 25
was not safe for him to expatiate. How inadequate are these few polite words
of sympathy to a bereaved daughter whom he was bound to assume was ignorant
of the part he may have had in the preparation of that Speech, however assured
he might have been of her knowing all about it ; and how much more inadequate
the pale and perfunctory announcement of the Speech to his official chief in
America to explain the absence of any allusion to this Speech in letters to any of
the members of his own family, or intimate friends, or any one else at home save
the official to whom it became his duty to transmit it.
The absolute silence too not only of the Bishop himself but of every mem-
ber of his illustrious family on the subject of this speech, of which he appa-
rently had so much reason to be proud, is even more difficult to explain than
the substantial silence of Franklin, except on the theory that the Bishop could
not rightfully claim its authorship and did not wish to destroy the influence of
it by denying it.
In the almost solitary position which he occupied so courageously on the
bench of bishops in those days of our republic's gestation in the womb of the
American Colonies, Jonathan Shipley was laying the foundations of a fame
which every one of his colleagues if now living would envy him.
For this mysterious nominis umbra there is but one explanation that is even
plausible, and that is that both were bound in honor as well as in policy not to
disclose the real authorship. Had it been in fact the work of the bishop, no
man in England was so likely as Franklin to have known it. Certainly no one
would have had a greater interest in proclaiming a fact of so much importance
to the cause he was then representing in Europe. But as its whole value con-
sisted in its being supposed to emanate from an eminent British source as well
as a member of Parliament, he could not afford to have any shadow cast upon
the bishop's rumored authorship, still less create even a suspicion that it was the
work of an American.
Though the correspondence of the bishop and Franklin is so strangely
silent about a publication which was of supreme interest to both, five different
editions of it appeared in America within three weeks after the first copy reached
our shores, as follows:
" Boston, N. E., reprinted and sold for 6 coppers that every North Ameri-
" can may be possessed of so valuable a pamphlet for a small expense at Green-
" leafs Printing Office," pp. 12.
" Salem, N. E., printed and sold by E. Russell at the New Printing office in
"Ruck Street, leading from the State House to Marblehead," pp. 16.
Another reprint, also at Salem, with a half-title:
" The whole of the celebrated Speech of the Rev'd Dr. Jonathan Shipley, Lord
" Bishop of St. Asaph's, intended to have been Spoken on the bill for
" altering, &c., but want of time or some other circumstance prevented his
"delivering it in the House of Lords, for which reason it was printed in a
large pamphlet and sold at one shilling sterling, and is allowed to be
one of the best pieces ever wrote on the present disputes betwen North
America and Great Britain, printed by S. Southwick, Queen Street,
Newport, .Sept. 1774." 4to, pp. 20.

Another at Lancaster, Pennsylvania, printed and sold by Francis Bailey,
pp. 24.
I have also in my possession a broadside impression, entitled: Whole Speech
of the Right Reverend Doctor Jonathan Shipley, Lord Bishop of St. Asaph, in
defence of the Boston Charter. It is, however, without date or name, or place
of publication, or publisher. From its register it appears to be a reprint from
the columns of some English country newspaper.
That this pamphlet was so promptly received and republished in so many
different places in America without Franklin's aid is incredible; and yet he never
seems to have made himself responsible, so far as I have been able to learn, for
a single copy sent to anyone anywhere, except those sent to Gushing.
Upon what theory can this silence or neglect be accounted for except that
he had inexorable reasons for wishing to appear to know no more of this docu-
ment than the public did.
That same year that this speech appeared, 1774, Bishop Shipley voted against
the repeal of the Massachusetts Charter, one other bishop only voting with him —
ample evidence that it was not cowardice that prevented his delivering the speech
if he had written it — and the year before he preached before the Society for
the Propagation of the Gospel a sermon warmly sympathising with the American
colonies. Of this sermon Franklin, in a letter to his son William, then Governor
of New Jersey, thus wrote :
" I have sent to Mr. Galloway one of the Bishop of St. Asaph's sermons
before your Society for Propagating the Gospel. I would have sent you one,
but of course you will receive one as a member. It contains such liberal and
generous sentiments relating to the conduct of Government here toward America
that Sir John Pringle says it was written in compliment to me. But from the
intimacy of friendship in which I live with the author, I know that he has ex-
pressed nothing but what he thinks and feels ; and I honor him the more that,
through the mere hope of doing good, he has hazarded the displeasure of the
Court, and, of course, the prospect of further preferment. Possibly, indeed,
the ideas of the Court may change, for I think I see some alarms at the discontents
in New England and some appearances of softening in the disposition of gov-
ernment, on the idea that matters have been carried too far there; but all de-
pends upon circumstances and events. We govern from hand to mouth. There
seems to be no wise, regular plan."
This Episcopal charge, which he so promptly sent to his friends in America
with words of strong commendation for its author, was delivered less than a
year before the intended speech, about which, though of such infinitely greater im-
portance to Franklin and the cause he was representing in America, he was silent.
Both Franklin's and the bishop's reserve about this speech are as effulgent as the
absence of the statues of Brutus and Cassius from the famous funeral procession
projected by Tiberius Caesar.
If this speech was prepared by the bishop, why was it not delivered? is a
question which is on everyone's lips on reading it. And if not by him, why did
he allow himself to be accredited with its authorship by public rumor for four-
teen years without ever attempting to stop it?
An article on " American Affairs " published in the Monthly Review of
HON. JOHN BIGELOW ON THE BISHOP OF ST. ASAPH'S "INTENDED SPEECH" 2^
London for July, 1774, shows that I am not the first to raise these questions. It
says :
" This unspoken speech, which is attributed to a Right Reverend member of
a high Assembly, does equal honor to the understanding and to the heart that
dictated it. Why it was not delivered on the occasion for which it was calculated
is not declared ; but that it was not, is much to be regretted ; for we cannot form
so injurious opinion of the illustrious audience as to think that a discourse so
convincing and persuasive could have passed over without producing some effect.
We are even willing to hope it may have some influence now in preparing the
minds of men for more conciliatory measures when proper opportunity offers,
and such opportunity cannot be wanting whenever we are happily predisposed to
make use of it ; ' for thus,' says this worthy prelate, ' as I apprehend, stands
the case. They petition for the repeal of an Act of Parliament which they com-
plain of as unjust and oppressive.' " It closes as follows: " I think every candid
reader must own that administration has suffered in more instances than one,
both in interest and credit, by not chusing to give up points that could not be
defended."
It must be assumed that it was the policy of the bishop and of Franklin to
give no one any authority to attribute the speech to either of them. And so faith-
fully was the bishop's anonymity respected, that in all the answers this pamphlet
provoked in England, or at least the only two I have any knowledge of, his name
is not alluded to, though one of them is addressed " To the Bishop of St. A. . . ."
In 1792, two volumes, entitled, " The Works of the Right Reverend Jonathan
Shipley, D.D., Lord Bishop of St. Asaph's," which included the speech under
consideration, were published in London by Cadell, the publisher of the five con-
secutive anonymous copies of the pamphlet.
No particular importance as evidence of authorship attaches to this fact, be-
cause this collection was not edited by the bishop or any of his kin, but by
Cadell himself, and was not given to the public until four years after the bishop's
death. It was manifestly a speculation of the publisher, who says in his brief
preface :
" The publisher thinks it right to declare he has no reason to believe any
part of them — the pieces in the second volume in which ' The Speech intended
to be spoken ' is found — now first appearing in print, was originally intended
for public inspection."
After some amplification of this apology for 'their publication, he adds in a
separate paragraph:
" These occasional Sermons, and a Speech intended to have been Spoken on
the Massachusetts Charter Bill, published at different periods, but now difficult to
be met with, are added to this collection."
The sermons and speech here referred to appear in the second volume. Not
a word is given in explanation of the publisher's authority for putting tliis speech,
which the bishop never acknowledged, in a collection of his works. This speech
and some occasional sermons are spoken of as ** added " to this collection. Why
** added ?" Why were they not treated like the others, as a legitimate part of the
collection? There was not apparently any good reason for longer suppressing
the history of that speech, if he knew it, as he most probably did. And if he
28 HON. JOHN BIGELOW ON THE BISHOP OF ST. ASAPH'S "INTENDED SPEECH"
did not, the bishop's son, afterwards Dean of St. Asaph's; his eldest daughter,
who maried Sir William Jones, and another daughter, who married Francis
Hare-Naylor, and became the mother of Julius and Augustus Hare, must have
known its history, if it was known to any mortal besides the bishop and Frank-
lin. Yet neither of these children, one at least a correspondent and warm friend
of Franklin, appears to have taken any responsibility for this reprint; and even
the publisher makes what reads like an apology for " adding " it to a collection,
as though it were not to the manor born, and implying a cloud of some sort
upon its title. This resolute and persistent silence of the bishop during his life-
time— ^he survived the first publication some fourteen years — and of his four
children, when this publication went to press four years after his death, and that
also of the publisher, and the yet more extraordinary silence of Franklin, affords
about the highest grade of circumstantial evidence that the bishop, though he
might have allowed himself to be the sponsor, was not the author of the intended
speech.
I trust no reader will infer that in claiming for Franklin the substantial
authorship of this address I am detracting from the indebtedness of his compa-
triots on both sides of the Atlantic for his assistance in giving to such a timely
and important paper a currency which, without his consent, it could never have
attained. What he did was under the circumstances a greater, because a more
generous, thing to do than to have written the speech; and, whether he was or
was not the author of it, he placed this Republic under obligations which have
not yet been discharged.
With this note I send you for the Library a copy of the Works of Bishop
Shipley in two volumes, now very scarce, published in London in 1792. In
them the reader will have an opportunity of comparing the style of the Bishop
with the style of the " Speech Intended to be Spoken " to be found in the" second
volume. The first volume contains also an admirable portrait of Shipley en-
graved by Trotter from a painting of Sir Joshua Reynolds. Of this portrait
there were two copies, painted by one of the Bishop's daughters — I believe
Franklin's correspondent — under the eyes of Sir Joshua and re-touched by him.
I hope it may enter into the hearts of their present proprietors to send one of
these copies to this library, where the Good Bishop's name is known and admired
by a far larger number of people I presume than on the other side of the Atlantic
at present.
I send also a copy of the broadside to which I have referred. I know noth-
ing of its history, nor even the date of it, nor the place where it was printed.
I bought it in London and presume it was printed there and subsequent to the
appearance of the Intended Speech in the works of the Bishop published four
years after his decease; for it is the only copy of that speech ever printed in
England, I believe, in which the Bishop's name is given as the author, except
as implied in the second volume of his Works, where it appears without any
ostensible sanction from any member of his family or descendants.
Yours very respectfully,
John Bigelow.

will make reparation before compulsive measures
are thought of here; the friends of America do not
want to give any pretext for the war that is threat-
ened; voluntary separation will set them right.

To Thomas Gushing [Boston]. He has been ad-

results of the congress should arrive; the coolness
and temper of American proceedings and the una-
nimity of the colonies are disappointing to their
enemies; the tone of public conversation begins to
turn in their favor; if the non -consumption agree-

ruined; from their successors, a great constitutional
charter may be hoped for. Contemporary copy.

new election before ferment arises here over advices
supposed to have been received from Boston ; if the
congress resolves on non-consumption of manufac-
tures, the ministry must go out; he is grieved to
hear of mobs and violence; the electors of London
and some other places have directed their candi-
dates to endeavor to repeal the acts against America ;

To Thomas Gushing [Philadelphia]. Wilkes was
elected Lord Mayor by a great majority, and it is
thought that he will carry the elections of London
members pledged to repeal the acts against Amer-
ica; the ministry will still have a majority for its
measures in the new parliament, because most of
the members are bribing or purchasing to get in,
and will sell their votes to the ministers to reim-
burse themselves; if America would save for three
years the money she spends on fineries, she might
buy the whole parliament; some of the ministerial
people begin to blame Hutchinson and Gage.

French and influence over the people induced the

the army is on its way to the mouth of the Sorel,

ably have to abandon Canada, except St. John's; a
reinforcement will only increase their distress, an
immediate supply of provisions is absolutely neces-«>
sary ; the vessels at Ticonderoga should be fitted
out for this purpose; more bateaux should be built

Portraits.
Compiled by Frank Weitenkatnpf, Curator, Print Department,
Certain types of Franklin portraits, particularly those by
Dapleasis ana Martin, have been reproduced again and again,
00c only in the more ambitious plates issued separately or to
illttstrate books oa Franklin, but also in numerous poor copies,
Ttgnettes on business cards and on advertisements, particu*
larly of business ventures bearing Franklin's name. In the
present list, wood-en^rravings, excepting the more important
ones, have not been included, nor have process plates, unless
they are direct reproductions of originals, and not of engrav-
inn.
The portraits here listed are grouped under the various
originals on which most oi them are based. These groups are
arranged chronologically in the order of production of the
orifiiuds, and the prints in each group are arranged chrono-
logically as far as possible, photomechanical reproductions
of paintings being placed first. A small number, not definitely
conforming to any one **type," are placed in a section of
** miscellaneous portraits.** This includes statues and monu-
aents, unidentified profiles and medals, and unauthentic
portraits, such as the Elmer and Gainsborough pictures.
After this ** Miscellaneous group " are listed allegories and
caricatures, pictures illustrative 01 Franklin's career, and por-
traits of members of his family. An index of artists and en-
gravers follows the list.
The dates adopted for the ** types ^* are those assigned by
Charles Henry Hart.
What is presumably the earliest list of Franklin portraits ap-
pears in Ernst Ludwig Gerber's ** Historisch-biographisches
Lexicon der Tonkiinstler '* (Leipzig: J. G. I. Breitfcop/,
1790-92. 2 V. 8".) Theil 2, Anhang : '* Verzeichniss . . .
Biidntsse beriihmter Tonlehrer u. Kiinstler," p. 18. It pom-
prises three mezzotints by Cochin, Re^ges, and Haid, and
three line engravings by Fritsch, Lebeau and C. Schiele
[Schule].

Portraits of Franklin, conftL
Greute type, confd.
x8^ p. I a, there is a report of the donation to the Virginia
Historical Society of ^* a portrait of Dr. Franklin, copied from
the orispnal of Greuze, by Mons. Guillaume, of Paris,'* by
Hon. Wm. C. Rives. The donor, in his letter to the secretary
of the Society, printed on pages 12-14, states that ^* It is from
an undoubted original by Greuze,'* and gives a brief history
of the painting, which, he says, ** is suppcned to have been
presented by F'ranklin to Beyer, a French inventor, in return
tor certain kindn<
A portrait of Franklin by Greuxe was sold for 2.000 francs
at the sale of the collection of *' M. le comte A. ae G . . . .'*
Jane xi, 1904, Paris. (** Bulletin de I'Art," Aug. 6, 1904, p,
S2a.)
The portrait (bust, directed and facing risht, looking front,
fur collar), reproduced on p. 106 of Lillian 1. Rhoads* ^* Story
of Philadelphia," 1900, has a very slight resemblance in cos-
tume to the Greuze of 1777, but the face conforms to no defi-
nite type, and the source of the picture is not given.

TO 2V ENG. CO, From a portrait in oil, a gift
to the Public Library of the City of Boston, as
a \ painting by GREUZE, from GADRNER
BRE yVER.
*' There are in the Public Library two original portraits
of Franklin. One of them by Duplessis . . . The other,
painted b^ Greuze, was presented in 1872 by Gardner
Brewer, Esq., and its history is told in a paper by the
late Charles Sumner in the twentieth Annual Report of
the Library, p. 86. It was painted for Oswald, who negoti-
ated with Franklin the provisional articles of peace of Nov.
30, 1782. There is also a picture in the Boston Art Mu-
seum closely resembling the Duplessis of the Public Library,
for which the claim is made that it was i>ainted by Greuze . . .

York, i8«8, p. 330)." Memorial history of Boston, edited by
Justin Winsor, vol. 2, Boston [1881], p. 291.
The portrait in the Boston Public Library, according to the
Pennsylvania Magazine of Hist, and Biog., vol. 11, 1887.
p. 173, and according to a letter from a descendant of Oswald
(Magazine of American History, vol. 27, 1892, pp. 4^2-473), is
probably a replica or a copy ot Duplessis. It is quite of the
Duplessis type.

NinL i777-
Jean Baptiste Nini modelled a medallion portrait of Frank-
Ib in 1777. To this Franklin refers in hii letter to his daugh-
ter, Mrs. Sarah Bache, dated Passy, 2 June, 1779:
** The clay medallion of me you say you gave to Mr. Hop-
kinson was the first of the kind made in France. A variety of
others have been made since of different sizes; some to be set
b the lids of snuff boxes, and some so small as to be worn in
rings; and the number sold are incredible. These, with the
pictures, busts, and prints, (of which copies upon copies are
ifffead everywhere,) have made your father s face as well
known as that of the moon, so that he durst not do anything
that would oblige him to run away, as his phiz would discover
him wherever ne should venture to show it. It is said by
learned etymolygists that the name doll^ for the images chil-
dren play with, is derived from the word idol. From the
aamber of dolls now made of him, he may be truly said, in
that sense^lo be i-doll-ized in this country.'^ (Bigelow, J.
life of Franklin, 3d edition, Phila., 1893, vol. 2, chap. 16,
p. 480.)

Jfean Baptiste Nini modelled another medallion of Franklin,
without the cap, in 1778. The above listed half-tone repro-
duction of the terra-cotta medallion, in the Metropolitan
Museum, accompanies a note by C. H. Hart, who finds on it
the first use of the famous inscription to Franklin, ^* He
wrested the thunderbolt from heaven and the sceptre from
tyrants." Hon. John Bij^elow refers to more than four por-
traits of Franklin by Nini. See also 2s6A.
Houdon. 1778.
lean Antoine Houdon modelled a bust of Franklin in 1778.
"His bust of Franklin," says C. H. Hart, "was exhibited in
the Salon of 1779, and again in 1791, which would leave the
inference that he had made two different busts of Franklin,
and would tend to sustain the tradition that he modelled one
in Philadelphia in 1785." " It is said that Houdon once made
a plaster cast of Franklin's living face, in Paris." — Facsimile
of Poor Richard's almanack for 1733 . . . The Duodecimos,

the ends falling down on the chest.
In the History of the celebration of the inauguration of
Washington, ed. by C. W. Bowen, N. Y., i8aa, p. 6i, and
oppos 5241 there appear four reproductions of ousts by Hou-
don. Two of them (owned by the Metropolitan Museum,
N. Y., and the Boston Athenaeum, respectively) correspond in
feature and costume to the Houdon type as described. The
other two (owned bv the American Philosophical Societv,
Phila., and the late Abram S. Hewitt) both have the loosel]^
knotted neckcloth of the Ceracchi bust, and appear also to
resemble that in the features. See no. 204.

of Franklin, by Duplessis. This portrait, owned by Dr. C. F.

Versailles.
The Versailles type, so named from the ori^nal in the Ver-
sailles gallery, is an *' open shirt" portrait like that by
Madame Filleul (see nos. 104-116). but represents a younger
nan. ^* There is no record of this painting. It is evident
that the engraving is misnamed, or that it is the result of the
not uncommon practice of 'vamping,* or improving. The
attempted representation of a fur cap, the open shirt-collar,
and the fur-trimmed coat, which separatelv are peculiarities of
various authentic portraits of Franklin, but which are com-
bined in no other than this, support the latter theory." — Fac-

The characteristic feature in the engravings listed here
under nos 233-^39 is the form of the cravat or jabot, which at
the top widens into something of the appearance of a small
bow.
There are a number of medals and medallions, in metal and
stone, at the Metropolitan Museum, N. Y., which, like the
Pollard engraving (no. 237), show the cravat or jabot with a
wider top; four buttons on cuat, and hair with appearance of
wavy fullness, reaching not quite to the shoulders. But there
is also a similar medal signed J. M. Renard, with three

The original is in the possession of Mme. Gu6rin de Vaux,
of Paris, who, in a letter of March xo, 1904, to Hon. ^ohn
Bigelow, described this and similar statuettes of Voltaire as
**inade of a white paste, gesso or other composition; they
have been moulded and painted," and adds: ** The hair of the
one we possess is certamlv real hair of the great Franklin,
which has been stuck; the letter I named before mentioned it.
The connoissor M. d'Allemagne declares them of German
workmanship." The Hon. John Bigelow, in a letter to Dr.
J. S. Billings, Jan., 1906, expresses his belief that this stat-
uette is the work of Nini, of whose activities he gives a
detailed account.

FRANCIS JEFFREY TO JAMES MONROE IN 1813.
The letter from Jeffrey to Monroe printed herewith was presented to the
Library by Mr. Howard Townsend in 1905. At the time it was folded in a wrap-
per on which was written :
"A Letter from Mr. Jeffrey in 1813 to Jas. Monroe Presdt U. S. given to Mr.
Bayard by Mrs. Saml Gouverneur in 1839 and by Mr. Bayard to Doctor Hd.
Townsend* 1854. Mr. J. then edited the Edinburgh Review." Monroe's MSS.
left to Gouverneur have been in the New York Public Library since 1899, when
they were presented by Hon. John L. Cadwalader.
Jeffrey made this journey to marry Charlotte Wilkes, whom he had met during
a visit paid to him in London by M. Simond, a French refugee, whose wife was a
sister of Charles Wilkes of New York, Charlotte being the daughter of the latter.
Jeffrey sailed from Liverpool 29 August, 181 3, landed at New York on 7 October
following, married Miss Wilkes soon afterwards, and sailed from this city on
22 January, 1814, reaching Liverpool on 10 February.
New York, 9th October, 1813.
Sir:
I have the honor of enclosing to you the letters with which my excellent
friend Lord Holland was kind enough to furnish me before leaving England,
and which I am at all events prevented from delivering in person by the circum-
stances which compel me to trouble you with this application The object of that
application is that I may not be sent up the country or confined very strictly to any
one place of residence, and that I may be permitted to return to my own country
by any opportunity that may offer, after the very simple and innocent business
which has induced me to throw myself upon the liberality of this Government is
concluded. When the nature of that business is stated I flatter myself that it will
not only remove any suspicion of hostile or improper purposes, but produce in all
good minds a disposition at least, to treat me with all possible indulgence.
In any other circumstances I should feel an insuperable objection to obtrude
upon the ears of a statesman any story of private perplexity, but situated as I now
am I really have no alternative, and from all that I have heard of the honorable
person upon whose patience I am now trespassing, I am satisfied that there is no
other quarter in which an appeal to the feelings of a gentleman could be made
with more effect or interpreted with more liberality. Instead therefore of assur-
ing you in vague or general terms, such as I have hitherto employed in all my
public applications to my own Government, that my business here is entirely of
a personal and domestic nature, and quite unconnected with any interest either
political or commercial, I shall state to you in distinct and direct terms that I have
come to your coimtry to claim the hand of a lady to whom I have been for some
95
96 FRANCIS JEFFREY TO JAMES MONROE IN 1818
time engaged, and with whom, while hostilities continued, it was otherwise im-
possible for me to have met. I considered myself as bound therefore, by every
principle of honor and right feeling to venture upon this pilgrimage, and to allow
no difficulties or embarrassments to deter me, while there was a physical possi-
bility of acting up to my engagements. In these circumstances I addressed myself
to my own Government, and, tho' by no means a political favorite of those who
now administer its affairs, my case (and perhaps I might presume to add my
character) was thought to entitle me to so much indulgence, that, in exception to
all general rule, I obtained a passport and authorizing me in direct terms to pro-
ceed to this hostile country, and also a special permission to embark on board of
any cartel or flag of truce, however limited in other respects in its destination.
The same considerations operated upon the good nature of Mr. Beasley, your
agent for prisoners in our country, who was pleased not only to signify his
acquiescence in the permission granted to me by the Transport office, but also to
interest himself, as I believe you will see from the enclosed letter, in a very kind
manner for my accommodation. After a very tedious delay and a great sacrifice
of my own interest and convenience, I embarked on the Robert Bums flag of
truce, and arrived here yesterday. The Marshall I understood considers me as
liable to be sent to a limited place of residence up the country but on the applica-
tion of many persons of great respectability in this city, has been kind enough to
permit me to remain here, till I can have the honor of an answer from you Sir,
to the letter I am now writing.
And now Sir, on the word of a gentleman, you have the whole and undisguised
history of what might otherwise appear a very rash or suspicious proceeding on
my part. I shall probably be married before I can have the honor of your answer
to this application, and when that is done my business in America will be con-
cluded, and I shall have no other concern but to find the means of returning as
speedily as possible to my own home. The family of my intended wife is resident
in this place, and to send me forty miles from the coast would subject them to
very great inconvenience. I hope to see America again in a more auspicious
character than that of an alien enemy, however recommended and however in-
dulged, but if I am detained for any length of time in the territory I am I should
like to be permitted to gratify my curiosity and perhaps a better feeling, by visit-
ing some of the most remarkable places around me. Nor would it be the least of
my gratifications, in such an event, to have an opportunity of presenting myself
in person to you Sir, and some other distinguished individuals, when no circum-
stances of national hostility can ever make the objects of any personal feelings
but those of respect and esteem. Who and what I am the enclosed letters will
probably sufficiently testify : but I shall be proud to furnish you with any farther
explanations that may be requested, and can have no difficulty in obtaining any
number of references that may be thought necessary from her sons of the first
eminence and of your own citizens.
Upon these grounds, Sir, I humbly request that I may be allowed to remain
here, so long as my little affairs may require, and that I may also be permitted
to visit such places in the United States as I may have occasion to go to, under
such conditions and limitations as you may be pleased to specify.
FRANCIS JEFFREY TO JAMES MONROE IN inZ 97
At the present moment perhaps I ought in prudence to limit my application
to these objects; but I will not disguise from you Sir that it is an object of still
greater anxiety with me to be relieved from the apprehension of being detained
here by the act of your Govt, and prevented from returning to that country from
which I cannot be much longer absent without the utter ruin not only of my
private affairs, but of establishments and concerns which I am persuaded no
friend to free govemt would wish to see destroyed. I flatter myself, and am
rather inclined to believe, that no such measure of severity is meditated by
your Govemt towards the peaceful and inoffensive natives of my country, who
have trusted themselves within your territory, but even if circumstances should
be thought to justify the general adoption of so rigorous a policy, I conceive there
are circumstances in situation which might entitle me to some exemption from
their operation. Besides those which will naturally suggest themselves for what
I have already stated, I may take the liberty of mentioning, that in order to
obviate some very natural scruples of Mr. Beasley to grant me permission to
embark in a cartel, I was induced to offer my services to act as a medical attend-
ant on the American citizens for whose safe conveyance he was bound to provide.
And that in consequence of that offer being accepted, I was actually entered in
this capacity on the list of those recommended by him to the Transport Board for
a passage in the Good Friend Cartel in which I then intended to embark, and as
all that afterward passed was his giving me leave to transfer myself to the Robt.
Bums, to which many of the original list had also gone over. I conceive that
the same character still remained with me, and, coming in that character, I
humbly apprehend that no sort of doubt can exist as to my right to leave this
country by the first opportunity. I am not professionally a medical man, nor do
I mean to deny that I offered to act as one merely to get over a difficulty in the
way of obtaining my object, but in the course of my studies I have attended a
little to medicine, and am regarded at my country residence at home as no mean
practitioner. I should therefore have made myself useful I have no doubt in the
capacity had it been requisite, and did prescribe on board the Robert Burns with
very laudable success.
I flatter myself however that it will not be necessary to recur to tliose
specialties to find a ground for granting me the indulgence I humbly solicit. If
any more formal or oflicial application should be necessary for this purpose, per-
haps you might be condescending enough to let me know how it should be made.
You will have the goodness to address your answer to the care of Charles
Wilkes Esqre Cashier of the Bank of this city. I shall wait for it of course with
considerable anxiety, and have the honor to be in the mean time. With Sentiments
of the Utmost Respect
Your very humble and obedt Sert,
F. Jeffrey.
I have the honor of writing by this post also to Mr. Pinkney, to whom Lord
H. was so obliging as to give me a letter. I ought to have mentioned that my
brother, who has long had the honor of being a naturalised citizen of your country
has accompanied me on this expedition, and wishes to be included in the permission
I humbly request, to return.
TWO LETTERS OF THOMAS CAMPBELL THE POET.
Printed from the original manuscript in the Ford Collection,
New York Public Library.
Middle Scotland Yard June i6
My dear Sir :
I thank you for your prompt kindness in offering to repell this calumny, but I
have just sent a note to the Times which I dare say will be inserted.
What a damn'd world we live in and how easy it is for the most innocent to
be accused — not without some danger of false condemnation. But luckily the
Exile of Erin a brave & excellent man as ever lived is alive still to prove that I
shew'd him the lines which I wrote I may say on his circumstances which were
then forlorn but which are now flourishing — ^the lines which I shew'd to him
almost immediately on finishing them. Jhey were printed very soon afterward in
London with my name attached to them so that the assertion of Reynolds having
sung them as his own for years before I published them must be an impossibility
& a downright falsehood. I should tell you more about the Exile of Erin but he
wishes to return from Altona to his native isle & it might injure him to draw any
publicity on the patriotic part of his life for he was one of the best fighters in the
unfortunate rising of 1798 — Begging my best respects of your amiable, I remain.
Dear Sir Yours truly,
T. Campbell.
[Addressed:] C. Patmore, Esqr. 56 Frith Street, Soho.
My dear Sir :
By the same post I have received your letter & Dr. Evans's. Tell my fair
friend your honoured lady that I will obey her commands as if they were a queens
as early as I can but I lament to say that I cannot be in town till I have finished
a poem for this next No. of the Metropolitan — & the time of my being in town will
depend on the time of my finishing that poem. I believe that my promise on the
subject of my examination of the young ladies is for the present more honored by
the breach than by the observance. Coming to town would knock up my poem &
our Metropolitan working up against bad times & blackguard rivalry has need
of all that can be done for it, I shall be obliged therefore to disappoint both Dr.
Evans & you with regard to the examination for this quarter unless it can take

place towards the very end of this month, for before the 24th or 25 I shall not
stir from St. Leonards.
I am writing some lines for your periodical on a subject that is very difficult,
for when I sit down to it my heart beats overmuch and I have been ill indeed
fevered sleepless & imable to take food since the last agitating news from Poland.
But I have not lost hope & shall persevere in at least giving vent to my indignant
feelings at the passiveness of the whole world that by sufferance shares in the
crime of Polish massacres.
Be assured that I will as soon as possible fulfill my promise to take a real &
active interest in Mrs. Pickersgill's system of education & with my best respects
to her believe me My dear Sir
Yours very truly

CATALOGUE OF THE BECKS COLLECTION OF PROMPT BOOKS IN
THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY.
The collection of prompt books here listed came to the Library by bequest from George Becks, who
died in St. Louis on 17 May. 1904, and in his will desired his executors to present to the Tilden Library
** my prompt books, the traditions of the stage and the labour of my life."
Mr. Becks was born in Manchester, England, in 1834, and at the age of twenty-one came to this
country, at the solicitation of Henry J. Wallack, to join the Boston National Theatre stock company,
making his first appearance on the stage in September, 1S56. From Boston he came to Niblo's Garden
in New York, and later played with Laura Keene, Mrs. John Wood, John Owen at the Varieties Theatre
in New Orleans, and, during the civil war, in support of Edwin Forrest. For some time he played in
support of Jean Davenport Lander, and later with Maggie Mitchell's company in Fanchon the Cricket.
In the early seventies he retired from the stage to enter commercial life in New York city. In 1890 Mr.
T. Henry French induced him to return to the theatre to originate the role of Mr. Horton in Dr. Bill.
He played that part when the play opened at the Garden Theatre in October, 1890, and when, a week
later, Jerome K. Jerome's Sunset was put on as a curtain-raiser, he originated in that play the r61e of
Mr. Rivers. During the later years of his career he travelled widely and appeared in almost every Eng-
lish-speaking countiy. He accompanied Nance O'Neill on her tour of Australia, the Orient, Africa, and
Great Britain and with her returned to America in 1903. At the time of his death he was a member
of Kate Claxton's company, playing the Comte de Liniers in The Two Orphans. As a student of
Shakespeare he accomplished much in the way of annotation; for many years he was engaged in prepar-
ing an acting edition of the plays, but had not finished this task when he died. By reason of his learn-
ing he was held in high esteem among Shakespearean scholars and he enjoyed the friendship of many men
of letters. He was a life-long friend of Jean Davenport Lander, who bequeathed to him her dramatic
library and collection of playbills and pictures. (Condensed from the notice in the New York Dramatic
Mirror of 28 May, 1904.)
Nearly all the Becks prompt books are bound, interleaved with writing paper, and bear his signature,
as well as, in many cases, the names of earlier owners.
The arrangement in this list is alphabetical by titles, followed by an index of authors, editors,
adapters, etc. The arrangement in the public index (card) catalogue in the reading room is an alpha-
betical grouping by authors under the heading " prompt books."

Dear Sir.
Yesterday the convention voted to ratify the constitution by a majority of ten.
The Decision has been distressing & awful to great Numbers; & it is generally
believed will be so received by the people. The minority is a very respectable one
indeed, & made a most noble stand in defence of the liberties of the people. Mr.
Henry has given exemplary proofs of his greatness, & in the opinion of many, of
his virtue. I have myself heard some touches of eloquence from him wch. wd.
almost disgrace Cicero or Demosthenes. Matthews is chosen Speaker of the
House of Delegates ; and John Jones of the senate.
There is no rejoicing on Acct of the vote of ratification — it would not be
prudent to do so; & the federalists behave with moderation and do not exult in
their Success. I have not time to say more — ^and am

, . . judicious manner. It is said by some that a great national Seminary
would tend to make us one people. As to general defence & external objects, let
us be one people ; but as to internal matters, it is unimportant how dissimilar we
are; — for we are a federal republic, a Confederation of distinct Sovereignties.
It is better that we preserve the federal features of our government, than, even
on the favorite subject of education, to pave the way to consolidation. Besides;
how is this seminary to make our people national & homogeneous with one
another, Is is not clear that only a few of the wealthy, can partake of the benefits
of the institution. Excuse these few remarks. Believe me they are not peculiar
to me; they are those of the best republicans. These measures appear to me to
have passed the Rubicon. It is putting the ax to the root of the tree, & striking
the first of a series of strokes, which is to demolish the edifice of the State Gov-
ernments. But I hope I am mistaken.
I will not further trespass on your valuable time, by saying an3rthing of the
events passing here, you will be informed of them from better sources. I believe
the old Dominion will be true to herself, at this juncture, and be as forward in
taking measures to consolidate & preserve the blessings of peace as she was prompt
& efficient in encountering the perils & dangers, of our late just & necessary war.
I congratulate you most sincerely, on the eminent part you acted, in bringing that
war to a happy conclusion.

Dear Sir
I received your favour some short time since, and should have answered it
sooner, but I heard you had left the City, &, besides, I had nothing to say. I even
write you now, principally, to thank you for your communication & with a view
to induce you to continue the correspondence. The legislature yesterday appointed'
General Mason your colleague in the senate. You will see from the papers that
they bungled 2l good deal before they could eflFect it. Great hopes are entertained
of him as a staunch & promising young man, and the steady services of his
family in the cause of the people were not forgotten. I am not sure that I wd
have preferred him to all others, but I flatter myself that he will distinguish him-
self & do honor to his Country. The legislature are beseiged with deputies from

various unchartered banks in the upper country, praying for charters. They have
taken the business of judging on this subject from the legislature, in defiance of a
positive law, & now alledge the fact of their having done so, as a reason why
their petition should be granted. It is thought that the H of Delegates will be in
their favour, but that it will fail in the Senate. The state of the banks here is
really dreadful, and the shavers are making great fortunes. We hear you are
about to establish a national bank. That (if you have power to do it) or a
national currency must be resorted to, or the Consequences cannot be foreseen
or estimated: but this is out of my line & I am unacquainted with the subject.
I am pleased at yr. efforts to put the Chesapeake in a better state to be de-
fended than it is at present. I see also that a naval depot is in contemplation to
be established, it is said, in York river. If you can form an opinion, at present, I
should like to know it, as to what will be the result on these subjects — specially
the last which will be highly beneficial to the part of the Country in which I live.
What place will be selected, & to what extent will the project be carried? You
will see in the Enquirer of to-day Mr. Hay's Speech on the mandate question
lately decided in the Court of appeals. The question is of great importance & I
expect Congress must act on it, for the 25 § of the judicial act can never be en-
forced in Virginia. I am aware of your former impressions, on this subject: but
no doubt you are open to conviction. The Court was unanimous & several
judges & others have given up their first opinions. The opinion here seems pretty
general in favour of the decision. If we have erred, we have erred with Plato
& Socrates — for Mr. Jefferson is with us. I sent to my son with a request that he
would shew it to you the opinion I delivered, & Mr. Jefferson's letter to me on the
subject — the last was in confidence. As much time will elapse before the case is
published I was induced to do this, as Wm. informed me sevl. gentlemen had ex-
pressed a wish to be informed on the subject. Congress will do what they please
on the subject. Having done our duty on the occasion we care not for the
consequences.
I shall be very glad to hear from you as often as you find convenient, & am

Dear Sir.
I was duly favoured with your letter, enclosing the remarks made by you, on
the important question to which they relate. I am obliged by the communication.
I 70 LETTERS OF SPENCER ROANE, 1788-1822.
I have read the Speech with as much pleasure as I could any on that side of the
question: but I regret to say, that I differ with you on the subject, & I have done
so ever since 1795, at least when I considered the opposite doctrine to be that
which was generally acceded to by the republicans. The subject is vast, & I shall
not enter into it : but I consider it dangerous to expound the Constitution to extend
the treaty making power as some gentlemen are disposed to extend it. As for
confidence in the president & senate, while our present incumbents are eminently
entitled to it, it cannot be forgotten that Burr had like to have been president, &
that Gunn, Dayton & Co, were Senators ! Confidence, I think, is not a plant of
republican growth.
The republicans in the legislature will have a caucus for nominating electors,
tomorrow or next day. I hope they will conduct themselves with caution & wis-
dom, at this critical time. I believe the opinion here will prevail to run M [onroe]
(whatever is done at Washington) unless it will endanger the cause & bring in a
federalist. He is believed to be the man selected by the republicans & we do not
wish to have him intrigued out of his pretensions. Speaking for myself, I put
his claim, principally, on the ground of having chimed in with the present ad-
ministration, & rendered great & meritorious services. I have just been con-
sulted by a man of some weight, as to making Mr. Jefferson an elector. I declined
an answer, but shd. not be surprised if he were brought forward. I know not how
he would like it, or what bearing it might have on the election, in other states.

In all the conversations and correspondence which has lately taken place be-

arisen from no neutrality of sentiment or diminution of friendship. I am not
sure from what cause it has arisen, unless it is from a laudable principle in me,
carried to excess, — an unwillingness to do anything, which might seem like mak-
ing my court to men in power. Though the circumstance is unimportant, I believe
I have been wrong; & I owe it to the friendship with which you have honoured
me, to speak to you as a friend. I had even rather you should suspect me of adula-

Dear Sir.
I have lately received from you two enclosures containing your speeches on
the judiciary bill and the proposed amendment to the Constitution. I receive them
as proofs of your friendly attention to me. I have read the speeches with great
interest and pleasure, and concur with you on both subjects in omnibus.
As to the first speech I have had I believe some hand in getting it spread upon
the columns of the Enquirer, and I have no doubt but it will find counter-part in
the opinions of (at least) the Virginian people. While I would consent to gratify
the elderly judges of the supreme Court, and support the federal judiciary within
the states, in all its legitimate objects, I would not set up without necessity a batch

of courts strong enough to withdraw frqm the state courts their proper powers,
by clauses of "quo minus" "de etiam" &ca. I would not reproduce that horde of
judges which in the days of Adams was so abhorrent to the American people
and contributed so much to his downfal.
I shall always be gratified in hearing from you. It always gives me pleasure
when my sense of conduct of a public agent, accords with the sentiments of my

Dear Sir.
I received your very friendly letter some short time since, and I entirely
reciprocate the sentiments therein contained. A great press of business has de-
layed my answer. As for the necessity of supporting the bank I entirely concur
with you in opinion. A great and general distress would pervade all classes, the
agriculturalists as much as any from arresting this institution summarily, or even
from winding it up too hastily. I even fear that ill-consequences may be pro-
duced, by the measures already proposed on the subject. I was one of those who
did not distinctly see that Congress possessed the power to establish the bank ; but
being established, "factum valet fieri non debet" forcibly applies. As far as I can
judge the public sentiment, here, on this subject is in strict accordance with your's
and a well written memorial has been drawn up and I am told is generally signed
here, to be forwarded to Congress. While this sentiment is general and strong
it is equally desired, if practicable, that the institution should be guarded from
similar abuses in Future. With respect to the conduct of Jackson, while it was
violent & irregular, to say the least, I could not forget that the old fellow "had
done the State some service," nor that these enormities, were, perhaps, inseparable
from that boldness of character which had made him so useful. I thought, too,
that some allowance should be made for their being done as it were Uagrante bello.
While therefore I could not approve of his conduct, I would not have joined in
his condemnation. Especially as so many other motions had mingled themselves
in the case. This opinion however was not taken up without great doubts; nor
have I perhaps fully considered the subject. I ought to doubt of the correctness

its importance merits, I am happy, however, to find that you think our differences
with Spain may be settled without a War. I concur with you that that scourge of
the Human race should be avoided, if possible. In addition to the miseries,
private & political, which are inseparable from such a state, there are other evils
to be peculiarly depreciated by us. It would break in sunder the pack-threads by
which the states are connected, and demolish the cob-web partition which alone
defends them against the inroads of arbitrary power. It is the peculiar happiness
of republican governments that all wars, save such as are indispensable, will be
avoided, and the happiness of the people be alone consulted.
Before I received your letter, and since the receipt of the last with which you
had favoured me, I had a strong disposition to write you. I felt solicitious to as-
sure you, that in sending you my numbers styled "Hampden" I had no desire to
tax you with an expression of your sentiments on the subject. In sending you a
copy, I only intended you a compliment and a favour. I well knew how you were
engaged, and I knew equally well, your opinions on that subject. It would be
entirely superfluous for you, at this day to make any declarations, in favour of those
principles which are vital to our federative system, and form the basis of the
glorious revolution which brought the republicans into power. I have been much
gratified with the sentiments of Messrs Jefferson & Madison on this all-impor-
tant subject. In their letters to me acknowledging the receipt of copies of "Hamp-
den," these revered republicans have given to the principles therein maintained,
their most unequivocal & decided approbation.

Richmond February i6th. 1820
Dear Sir.
I was favoured with your letter of the 12th, two days ago, and with your's of
the 14th, this morning. I am indebted to you for the communications. The in-
telligence they contain is truly alarming. If any thing could add to the calamitous
condition of our country, in having such men as King & Co for our rulers, it
would be that the principles of 1799 are trodden under foot, and our slaves incited
to insurrection. No fear of slavery among themselves can actuate the Eastern
people in this business. Besides that they can repel slavery from their territories,
by ^eir own laws and constitutions, they are effectually sheltered from the intro-
duction of the negroes by the coldness of their climate. As for us, they might
agree to mitigate this irremediable evil, by dispersing them throughout the coun-
try. That policy would be, at the same time, humane as it respects the slaves
themselves, as it would undoubtedly ameliorate their condition. The conduct of
the Eastern intriguers therefore, finds no just motive in relation to their people.
LETTERS OF SPENCER ROANE, 1788-1822. 1 75
to US, or to the slaves themselves. It finds a Clue, however, in their lust of
dominion and power. You have truly said, that as to them this is an abstract
question; but it is, as to us, a question of life or death. This is the only string
which they could touch to detach the great State of Pennsylvania from the folds
of republicanism ; and these master spirits have touched it truly. What its effect
will be on that respected state, which has been so true to the cause of republican-
ism, I am unable to say. I hope, however, that she will see and detect the plott
which has been laid to Ensnare her.
In this distressing crisis it becomes us to be true to ourselves, and to the Con-
stitution, and, if necessary, to die in the last ditch. Let us cherish, also, the west-
em people, they have an identity of interests with us, and they also hold the
Keys of the Mississippi. If driven to it, we can yet form with them a great nation.
The influence of a southern sun has given to them a justice and generosity of
character, which we look for, in vain, among the northern Yankies. This destiny
however is not one of our chusing. It is forced upon us by the cruelty and in-
justice of northern intriguers. Nothing will sever this rapacity & ambition, but
that we should bow our necks to their oppressions.
What will be the conduct of the old Dominion in this trying crisis, cannot be
doubted. That generous people who have always been in the van, in quest of
liberty, and in the maintenance of the constitution, will not, now, be found want-
ing. The native land of Washington, Jefferson and Henry, will never be accused
of apostacy. She will say to these northern intriguers, thus far shalt thou go and
no further. She will, at least, not sign the instrument of her own degradation.
She will say, with the revered patriots of 1776, "We have counted the Cost of this
Contest & find nothing so intolerable as voluntary Slavery."
I find that my feelings have transported me: but believe me, they find a
Counterpart in those of every true Virginian.
I have seen Mr. Ritchie & Many other respectable citizens. Their attachment
to the Constitution is universal and unabated. They are averse to be dammed
up in a land of Slaves, by the Eastern people. They believe that these people have
no right to interfere in our concerns, nor to throw combustibles among us. They
confide in you to resist the menaced restriction in whatever form it may approach
you ; — whether in relation to States or to territories which are shortly to become
States. We are in quest of real safety, and are not to be quibbled out of our
rights. If this evil is to be rivetted upon us, it is unimportant whether it is directly
or indirectly eflFected. Our confidence in you arises not more from the letters we
have seen than from your tried patriotism and love for the constitutidn. You are
counted upon I assure you, with unabated Confidence; notwithstanding some
rumours which were circulated last week, as I am informed : — having been then

I 76 LETTERS OF SPENCER ROANE, 17881822.
To James Monroe.
Richmond, March 24th. 1821.
Dear Sir
I had, the day before yesterday, the pleasure to receive your favour of 20th
instant. I am sensible of the delicacy of the subject to which it relates, and of the
extent of the confidence it reposes in me. I shall not abuse that confidence. The
best return I can make you for it is to give you my opinions on the subject, ac-
cording to the limited information I possess, with perfect candor and fairness.
No motives can operate on me to prejudice my opinions or swerve my judgment,,
but a possible bias in favour of Mr. Hay, arising from a long-standing friendship
between us. Yet I hope that even this influence will not materially mislead me.
It would be a kind of treason to you, under the present circumstances, not to give
you the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the Truth.
When Mr. Hay applied to me, to recommend him to you for the office in ques-
tion, it was under no impression that such a measure could be necessary to make
known to you, the extent of his merit, or the justice of his pretensions. We were
under an idea, that a laudable delicacy on your part, arising from the connexion
existing between you, might make you hesitate to give him the office, unless he
was at least, well supported by the testimony of his fellow citizens. The legisla-
ture was then in Session, and the paper prepared was instantly and promptly
signed by about sixty of our fellow-citizens. Among them is the Governor of the
State, several members of the Council of State, & of the Supreme Court of the
Commonwealth, and many of the most respectable members of both branches of
the legislature. If these signers cannot be termed, (as I think they can) dis-
tinguished citizens, they are, at least, witnesses above all exception. That testi-
mony is corroborated, I understand, by that of both of our respectable Senators,
in Congress, &, perhaps by members of the house of representatives. The paper
was signed, here, by citizens of both the political parties of our Country. Of the
federalists, in the legislature, I will mention General Breckenridge, and Mr
Doddridge, both highly influential members of that body. As I have been well
informed, only two or three of those to whom the paper was presented, declined
or refused to sign it; and they, as I certainly believe, are not so much distin-
guished from the signers, by the superior purity of their political principles, as
by a suspicion of personal hostility to Mr Hay, and of a latent enmity to yourself.
Yet such is the strength of Mr Hay's pretensions, that, among the signers, are
several persons who are believed to be personally unfriendly to him. The signa-
tures might easily have been increased, as I believe to almost any extent.
I consider Mr Hay, and every body here, with scarcely a single exception,
considers him, as eminently qualified for the office. I had known him for many
years, as a practitioner of law, in our Supreme Court, & other Courts, and his
practice in those courts was very extensive. His reputation as a lawyer, a speaker,
and a writer, was very considerable. As a political writer, he had also dis-
tinguished himself, by several very useful tracts and treatises, which, (with a few
exceptions) endeared him to, at least, the republican party. I have often found
him by my side, labouring in behalf of the equal religious rights of the people, and
of what we conceived were the true principles of our political system. On one or
LETTERS OF SPENCER ROANE, 1788-1822. I 'J']
two occasions Mr. Hay appears to have lost some ground, in the opinion of the
republicans ; but I consider that he is now nearly, if not entirely, restored, and,
especially, by his conduct in the last legislature. I will not disguise from you
also that Mr. Hay has some personal enemies ; but, I believe, it has arisen princi-
pally, if not entirely, from the alledged austerity of his manners, and the supposed
hauteur of his deportment. These qualities, if they exist, arise in my opinion,
from an inflexible purity of character, and a proud independence of principle.
They certainly do not disqualify him for the office now in question, or render him
unfit for a trust, which requires the most incorruptible and unbending tone of
character. Such is my opipion of Mr. Hay's fitness for the office of a judge,
that on the death of Judge Tyler, I nominated him to Mr. Madison, for the office
of district judge of Virginia, a place now held by Mr. Tucker : but my letter get-
ting into the hands of Mr. Hay himself, who was then in Washington, thro' the
medium of his son, such was his (Mr. Hays) scrupulous delicacy on the occasion,
that he would not deliver it to Mr. Madison, and, of course, he was not brought
into the view of the Government. I mention this as a striking fact, to shew, the
scrupulous delicacy of Mr. Hay's principles. I believe that nineteen twentieths of
the lawyers and Suitors in the federal Court, would infinitely prefer Mr. Hay to
the present incumbent. Mr. Jefferson in his time appointed Mr. Hay the district
attorney of Virginia, and he held that office for many years. In that time he
prosecuted Aaron Burr, with ability and zeal, and faithfully discharged the other
duties of the office. He also acquired in that office, as I believe, an extensive
knowledge of the mercantile law ; of that very law which will, probably, be found
to be indispensably important, in the office now in question. I have reason to
believe that if Mr. Jefferson were now in the high office which you occupy, he
would see no cause to withdraw his confidence from Mr. Hay, and would readily
give him the office he now solicits. I will only add on this part of the subject, that
Mr. Hay is of a mature age, and has the experience requisite for the proper
discharge of the duties of the office.
While I entirely concur with you in opinion that the candidate residing in the
great commercial cities ought not to be appointed, for the reasons you have justly
assigned, Mr. Hay is quite aloof from this objection. At the same time I am
authorized to say (so far as it can be inferred from the opinions of these dele-
gates in the legislature) that his appointment would be agreeable to the citizens of
Norfolk and of Richmond, the only two places, probably, in Virginia, having
claims under the Spanish Treaty.
With respect to any murmurs which would be excited in Virginia, by Mr.
Hay's appointment, I do not believe they would be considerable or that the fact
would attract much notice. It is true I have no sufficient data to ground an
opinion in this case: but my impressions are confirmed by the opinions of
Governor Randolph, Judge Brooke, Mr. Nicholas, Mr. Stevenson, & Mr. Selden,
on this subject. All these gentlemen dined with me yesterday; and, in the
course of the evening, I took occasion to sound them on the subject. They con-
sider the opposition as local, and produced by the causes I have mentioned. The
high standing of these gentlemen is well known to you. Governor Randolph has
been lately again distinguished by the suffrages of his fellow-citizens ; and is re-
markable for his high sense of honor, & for the purity of his political principles.
I 78 LETTERS OF SPENCER ROANE, 1788-1822.
Some persons here, indeed, say, that the precedent would be a bad one. WhDe
this in general is admitted, this case would only be a precedent in favour of a man,
who is amply qualified, and highly recommended. Where either of these requi-
sites is wanting, the present case could not be relied on. And if a person thus
supported, is, in all cases, to be rejected, all those would stand utterly dis-
franchised, who may chance to be connected with our first citizens. These same
persons say that such a precedent would lead to servile compliances, with a view
to gain the favour of the executive Magistrate. It might ; but that is an extreme
case, and is in derogation of the high character justly belonging to our fellow
citizens. Those, in particular, who signed the paper in question, are honorable
men, and above all suspicion. The purity of their views and motives, cannot be,
for a moment, brought in question. The very men, hereabouts, who have made
the only stir, and, as I believe, a very limited stir, on this occasion, would, in the
case of the non appointment of Mr. Hay, be, probably ready to charge you with
a want of independence, as for some men, it is impossible for any act of yours to
please them.
With respect to the two gentlemen of this State, whom you have mentioned,
as spoken of for this office, they are men of high character for talents & for public
speaking. One of them has, however, lost ground very considerably, in the middle
and lower parts of this state. This has arisen from the dark and doubtful course
of his politics ; from his arrogating too much power to the Senate, in derogation
of that belonging to the more numerous branch of the legislature; and from his
having delayed and retarded the late revision of our laws, which was greatly
needed and called for, by the people, until he had ingrafted therein many new
principles ; principles which will unquestionably unsettle many of our judicial
decisions, & produce a great increase of litigation. He has also fallen like Lucifer,
and in the eyes of the republicans, by out-heroding Herod on the late resolutions
here^ on the citation question. Although professing to be a republican, he pushed
the doctrines of the federal party, beyond all former example, and to an extent
which has been disclaimed by many honest men even of that party. To the pre-
tensions of the other gentleman I have nothing to say, but to doubt, whether his
great Talents are exactly of a character to fit him precisely for the office of a
judge. He also lives in one of the Towns, probably having some claims under
the late Treaty. Unless, also, you have good evidence of the fact, I should be
inclined to doubt whether either of these gentlemen would wish to receive the
office. Their friends here seem to doubt it, and I think it would not suit them.
I know of but few, indeed very few if any, other citizens in Virginia whose pre-
tensions for this office are equal to Mr. Hay's.
I have thus given to you. Sir, my candid opinions and belief, according to my
best tho' limited information, on this subject. Although I have not entirely
accorded with you, as to every act of your administration, I have too high a value
for your character, to consent that you should do anything, which might justly
lessen the high standing you have attained, in the public estimation. The
friendship with which you have always honoured me, were there no other motives,
would alone impel me to this wish. But your country relies on your firmness, as
well as your integrity and independence. It is believed that you cannot be driven
LETTERS OF SPENCER ROANE, 1788-1822. 1 79
from your purposes deliberately taken for the public good, by any intrigues or
machinations. It is also believed that you will foster the republican idea, that the
strong & general opinions of your fellow citizens, even in relation of executive
duties, are not to be entirely disregarded.
If you should appoint Mr. Hay, and even be deemed to err, you would, at
least, err with Plato and Socrates. You would, at least, be greatly supported by
many of our most distinguished citizens ; and this fact, no doubt, would be gener-
ally known. — To say nothing of others, you would err with Th : M : Randolph,
and James Barbour; who have received fresh and honorable testimonials of the
confidence of Virginia.
I conclude by assuring you that I am, Dear Sir, sincerely yr friend & Servt

To James Monroe.
Richmond June 20th, 1821*
Dear Sir:
The enclosed numbers on a most important subject, were written by me, and
have been published in the Enquirer. Mr. Ritchie promised to strike me a few
copies, in a more eligable form, to be presented to my most particular and dis-
tinguished friends ; but his indisposition, and the negligence of his foreman, pre-
vented it. I now doubt, whether I ought to venture, to send them, to you, as taken
from the columns of a newspaper. Yet the subject is not unworthy of your
attention.
In taking this liberty, I have no manner of reference to your office, as presi-
dent, I address you, only, in your private character, and I delight to include you
with such men as Jefferson, Madison and Taylor. I rejoice to recognize in James
Monroe, the friend & compatriot of Mason, Henry, and Grayson, in the great
cause of securing the liberty and advancing the happiness of our native Country.
With great respect. Esteem, and regard.
I am Dear Sir yr friend & obt servt

1 80 LETTERS OF SPENCER ROANE, 1788-1822.
To James Monroe.
Richmond, i July 1822.
Dear Sir.
I had the pleasure to receive, some time since, your second favour enclosing
your view of the Constitution on the subject of internal improvements.* My
delay in answering it has arisen, from the length of the Essay, and the great im-
portance of the subject; from my desire to ponder it well, before I decided finally
upon it ; and from my inability to do it sooner, under the then feeble and delicate
state of my health, I confess, too, that I felt some reluctance to differ from you in
opinion, upon any of the positions you had taken.
I am duly sensible that I ought to feel great diffidence and hesitation in dis-
senting from you, on any subject which you have so profoundly considered:
yet it appears to me, that your construction of the constitution on the subject
of appropriations, is both opposed to the general cause of the republicans on that
subject and retracts, in effect, the concession you have so properly made, that that
Constitution consists in Specific grants of power. It has this effect, because this
subject of appropriation is so extensive as to insinuate itself into almost every
branch of congressional legislation. A contrary construction would also seem to
be indicated by the very term, which conveys the power in question. The term
"Appropriated" seems, unavoidably, to imply, that there is some particular grant
or power, to which the money is to be applied or expended. I have also the mis-
fortune to differ from you as to the effect of Precedents, in fixing the Construc-
tion of the Constitution. Whatever force may be yielded to the Consent & acqui-
escence of the people, manifested on every subject for a long Succession of time,
less weight seems to be due to that of their agents, or representatives. On that
ground, the true construction of the Constitution would be made to depend upon
the persistance in Error of those representatives on one hand, and upon the rela-
tive promptitude or tardiness by which that error might be put down, by the
people, on the other
Subject to these exceptions I have as I wrote you, greatly approved of the
principles generally contained in your View. I need not say how much I am
always gratified in according with you in your patriotic efforts to advance the
interest and happiness of our beloved Country.
With great respect and Esteem
I am Dear Sir, your friend & obt. Servant

WILLIS GAYLORD CLARK ON AMERICAN LITERATURE IN 1830.
The following letter from Willis Gaylord Clark to William Jerdon, editor of
the London Literary Gazette, is printed from the original manuscript now in the
New York Public Library. At the time Clark was connected with the Columbian
Star of Philadelphia. The poem by Whittier referred to as an enclosure ap-
peared in the Literary Gazette of 19 June, 1830, pp. 403-404, with the title "To
the improvisatrice."
No. 3 Washington Square,
Philadelphia, April 7, 1830.
To the Editor of the London Gazette. —
My dear Sir :
The enclosed poems are at your service. One is from my pen, the other
from that of a friend. It was sent (the latter one) for insertion in a Daily
Gazette here in which I was for a time concerned ; — but as it is addressed directly
to Miss Landon, the thought occurred to me that I would send it to you. It is
from the pen of John Grcenleaf Whittier Esq., a young American Poet-Editor, of
great promise. The lines I have thrown in are just en-passant to fill up space.
There is nothing in them of any particular merit; but I hope to send you better
ere I die.
Tell Miss Landon she is beloved — nay idolized by all the young Bards, and
Ladies in America. She is the Nightingale of England.
Would you be willing to send me your valuable paper for an occasional con-
tribution? It would be very acceptable, we have but one literary paper of any
merit in this country of a weekly cast — viz the '*New York Mirror/' Our
Magazines are all "stale flat and unprofitable." Our quarterlys are excellent.
You may perhaps have seen a poem of mine in Watts Souvenir of this year,
as also one called "Mary Queen of Scots" which was copied into the London
"Weekly Review." I have not time or I would send you a few printed poems,
that I could otherwise collect. — I may say that the "proper authorities" here have
seen fit to award me much repeated praise on my metrical efforts.
Your paper is very much copied from, and applauded in the newspapers from
Maine to Alabama — from the Cattskills to the Rocky Mountains beyond the
Mississippi.
In my next I will send you some of the printed productions of our three best
poets — viz Bryant, who stands foremost ; Halleck and Percival, who stand next. —
I should be pleased to hear from you by letter, my address will be to the care of
the Revr. W. T. Brantly, Editor of the "Columbian Star," Phila.— .
Your poem "the Footstep's Fall" has travelled all over this continent and is
still journeying. Its plain beautiful merit, will not let it rest.
Respectfully Yrs.
with the best wishes
Willis Gaylord Clark

1 82 WIIXIS GAYLORD CLARK ON AMERICAN LITERATURE IN 1830
For the London Literary GcLzette,
The Bird of Araby.
"There is a superstition among the Arabians, that a Bird, called Manoh,
issues from the brain of every dead person, and haunts his sepulchre, uttering
lamentable screams, and divulging to the ears of the initiated all the secrets and
crimes of the deceased."
Bird of the hollow tomb !
Born of the brain, where once rich dreams could play
Of luxury and bloom
Where passed the spirit thence from Death away
When on the unconscious breast the pall funeral lay ?
Speak, thou in darkness born !
Thou nursed of silence, midst the faded dead.
From friends lamenting torn !
Thou on whose fabled wing no ray is shed —
Prattler of sins long past, of deeds remembered !
There is a mournful voice —
Thou trumpeter of bye-gone acts of shame!
It bids no heart rejoice: —
It breathes of pride with its unhallowed flame —
Of lust and power that ruled, till the Destroyer came !
Dark Bird ! — It is not thine
In the blue chambers of the sky to soar
On waves of pure sunshine !
Midst Araby's aroma-gales, to pour
Sweet songs that melt in air, the Groves of Spices o'er.
But by the wasting form
Of erring sinner, tis thy lot to be.
Thou compeer of the worm!
Telling the startled ear that bends to thee.
Of crimes in secret done, when that still heart was free !
Yet, in the wakeful breast
Of living man, a Mightier than Thou,
Hath a stem voice impressed:
Tis conscience — whispering, till the overshadowed brow
Grows thoughtful in regret that shone in pride but now !
He is not lost whose soul
Leans to the lessons of that hidden Guide,
And bends to its control : —
It checks the purpose wrong — the uprising pride —
Soothing the heart with peace to heavenly scenes allied !
WILLIS GAYLORD CLARK ON AMERICAN LITERATURE IN 1830 183
And he is doubly blest
Who woos that calmness in his breast to dwell : —
Night hath for him, sweet rest: —
Day uttereth speech to-day — ^and visions tell
His self-approving heart, that all within is well !
Philadelphia^ April, 1830.
Willis Gaylord Clark.
Such as you find the above you are welcome to it. It would gratify me much
to know your public opinion of such poetry of mine as may have met your eye.
I should take pleasure in sending you an American Magazine and paper
occasionally, if you think it worth your while. Please let me know if you answer
this letter. Your Obt Servt
Willis Gaylord Clark
I send this to the care of my correspondent and friend A. A. Watts, Esq. —
Who will direct it to you. I am ignorant of your address. I may enclose it to
Mr. T. C. Hall of the Amulet. Yrs &c.

LIST OF WORKS IN THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY RELATING
TO GOVERNMENT CONTROL OF RAILROADS, RATES
REGULATION, ETC.
This list includes only titles of works relating^ wholly to this specific subject; it does not attempt
analysis of those portions of general works on the larger subjects of transportation, railroads, etc. , that
relate thereto. A selection of magazine articles and periodical references is here noted, but for exhaustire
research the indexes to this literature, and to the various official journals and public documents, must be
consulted.
The file of American federal documents at the Astor branch is practically complete for the last half
century; the Poore Index (1881), Comprehensive Index (1881-1895), the Congressional Indexes, Sessional
Catalogues, and Monthly Catalogues (1895-date) provide a guide to their contents. The Library has a
file of federal bills beginning with 1901. The Congpressional Record should be consulted for Congres-
sional speeches and for references to bills, etc. ; texts of enactments and amendments are, of course, in
the Revised Statutes.

John Adams to Samuel Adams.
Philadelphia August i8, 1776
Dear Sir
I had the pleasure of a line from you, at Princetown, and yesterdays Post
brought me another from New York. I thank you for this Attention, and for the
encouraging account you give of the State of our affairs at New York and Ti[con-
deroga]. The last is agreeable to the official Letters we have from G. Gates who
has at last sent Us a general Return of the Army and Navy upon a more distinct,
accurate and intelligible Plan, than any which I have seen before. Among other
Particulars which are new, is a Return of the State of the Hospital, in one
column the Number admitted in July, in another the Number discharged, the
Ballance remains; by which it appears that between 4 and 500 got well in that
Month, and he had distinguished the Regiment to which they belong, by which it
appears that the Pensilvania, N. Jersey and N. York Battallions, are as Sickly in
Proportion to their Numbers, as the N. England ones.
Confederation has not been mentioned since you left us [on 12 August]. We
have spent the Time upon the two old Bones of Contention, the old Gen. [David
Wooster] and the Commodore [Esek Hopkins]. The first we voted blameless,* —
the last we voted censurable,t because the Reasons given for not complying
litterally with his Instructions, were by no Means Satisfactory. My two Col-
leagues differed in opinion from me upon these Questions Concerning the
ad[miral?] 6 Colonies Ay 3, No 3 divided. I am afraid this will hurt the
Fleet, but Time must determine. We have ordered the old Hero to his Com-
mand.
Before the Receipt of your Letter [14 August], what you advise concerning
Meigs and Dearborne was done.J The Board of War recommended it and it was
done, but not without opposition from 5 or 6 Colonies, who thought that there
ought to be no distinctions made, but a general exchange of the Prisoners of
Arnolds Party, or none.
Let me intreat you, Sir, upon your Return to Watertown, to promote an
Inquiry concerning the Massachusetts Forces. Let a list be collected and pub-

Hshed of all the Regiments raised in that State, The Names of all the officers ; let
the Regiment be numbered and the officers ranked, let us know for what Periods
they were inlisted.
Let me suggest one thing more, I am in doubt whether our Province have had
returned to them all the Powder they furnished the Continent from the Town
Stocks, as well as the Provincial Magazines, pray inquire and if they have not
let it be demanded. There is by a Return from G. Ward 3 or 400 Barrells of
Powder there belonging to the Continent, and if this opportunity is not embraced,
another so fair may not present itself.
I wish to know the Armed Vessells in the Service of the Province, their Num-
ber, Size, Guns, Weight of Metal, Number of Men &c.
As soon as the G. Court shall assemble I hope you will promote an Election
of Some fresh Delegates, at least of one, to take my Place. Mr. Hawley I hope
will be pers waded to come ; it will be a fine season to have the small-pox here, and
Rush will insure him through, almost without a sigh or Groan. Warren is the
next, Dana the third, and Lowell the fourth, if the Province should approve the
Plan of choosing Nine. These four will make up the number. But if there are
objections to these, there are enough others.
Some of us here, are tremblingly alive, at the Prospect of a Battle, but whether
it will be fought this year, or not, I cant say. The two gratefull Brothers may
loose Reputation with their fellow Tyrants, if they dont attack, but I hope they
will loose more, if they do. My most respectful Compliments to your good Lady.
I am, your
Friend and Servant
John Adams.

Passy Novr. 27. 1778
My dear Sir
Yesterday the B. Parliament met. The 2d of Deer. We shall have the Speech.
We hope to make Inferences from it of the Intentions of Spain, as well as great B.
Among the innumerable Falsehoods that English Emmissaries propagate
every Year to keep up the Spirits of Stockjobbers and others One has constantly
been that Russia will take a Part with them. This is repeated lately. But I have
taken some Pains to inform myself, and I think you may depend upon it, that there
is an Understanding between this Court and tliat of Russia, and this last has
taken an Engagement with the former, not to assist England in any way. There
is also a good Understanding with Prussia. In short England has not and cannot
obtain a Single Ally in all Europe.
Nobody pretends to penetrate the Mysteries of Spanish Councils : but the late
order from Court to take the names of all Foreign Merchants in the Kingdom,
and the other to admit all armed Vessells to bring in their Prizes condemn and
sell them in the Ports of the Kingdom are considered as preparatory Steps, and the
LETTERS OF JOHN ADAMS AND JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, 1776-1838 229
Edict of the K. of the two Sicilies, the eldest Son of the K. of Spain, to admit the
American Flagg into his Ports, is looked upon as an unequivocal Indication of the
Designs of Spain.
The French Marine has hitherto shewn itself in every Encounter equal at least
to the British, in the Bravery and Skill both of officers and men : But the French
Merchants have not exerted themselves in Privateering so much as the English,
and have not had so much success.
What Reinforcement will be sent to the Comte D'Estaing, I cannot say : But
of one thing I am sure that the only wise method of conducting the War would be
to send a clear Superiority of naval Force to America, an opinion which has been
suggested and will be urged when it ought.
What shall I say on the subject of Money? We can get no answer from
Mr. B respecting the Contract. I shudder for fear our Army should not be
well supplied in the approaching winter. But can do no more than has been done —
and knowing what they have done and suffered, I am at no loss t[o sa]y will do
and suffer, but I should be more happier if I was more sure they would be warm.
Crossing the ocean does not Cure a Man of his Anxiety. But we are contend-
ing for as great an object as ever Men had in View, and great Difficulties and
Dangers will lay the Foundation of a free and flourishing People broad and deep,
in great virtues and abilities. I am my dear Sir your

Dear Sir
Since my arrival, I have been asked a Thousand Questions which may all be
answered by the inclosed 6 copies of Letters which passed between the Minister
for foreign affairs and me. I have transmitted them to Mr. Lovel and submitted
them to his Discretion to lay them before Congress, or make what use of them, he
shall think the public good Requires.

Dear Sir,
The Marquis, who loves us, will deliver you this. He will tell you everything.
Arbuthnot, Rodney and Walsingham are to be pitted against de la Mott,
230 LETTERS OF JOHN ADAMS AND JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, 1776-1838
Piquet, Guichen and Ternay in the West Indies, so that I hope you will be pretty
quiet. Prepare however to co-operate and rout them out of the Continent if pos-
sible. Above all let me beg of you to encourage Privateering.
The French will be Superior in the American Seas this Campaign, or I am
misinformed, and I have it from good authority. Oh that Spain could be per-
suaded that Gibralter is to be conquered in America. It is certainly true, and I
believe only there. I have written you by Mr. Lee, who goes in the Alliance, and
took my Pen now only to give the Marquis a Letter to put into your Hands.
Your Friend in great Haste

Paris March 18. 1780
Dear Sir
This will be sent or delivered by the Viscount de Noailles, a Son of the Duke
D'Ayen a Brother of the Lady of the Marquis de la Fayette, an amiable and
gallant young Nobleman as full of military ardour as the Marquis.
We have this Moment the news of the safe Arrival of a Convoy and Sixty Sail
of Merchant Ships of St. Domingo, which is a great event for this Country and
for ours.
It is also reported that Ten Spanish Ships of the Line with Ten Battalions of
Land Forces have Sailed, conjectured to be for N. America.
An Armament is preparing at Brest, of which I ought not to give any other
account than one taken from the Amsterdam Gazette of 14 March. It is this.
The Comte du Chaflfaut Besne [Louis Charles ChaflFault de Besne] Lieutenant
General of the Naval Armies, has had the Honnour to take Leave of the King at
Versailles on Wednesday last, being presented to his Majesty by Mr. De Sartine,
Secretary of State.
The Report that orders have been expected on the 29 of Feb, for the officers
who are here of all the Regiments which are on the Coasts to join their Regiments
by the 15 of March and that Eight Regiments of Infantry are to embark under
Command of the Comte de Rochambeau. These Regiments are that of Anhalt
whereof the Marquis of Bergen is Colonel in Second; Auvergne, Coll Command-
ant, the Vicount de Laval, and in Second Comte de Lameth ; Bourbonnois, Colonel
Commandant, Le Marquis de Laval, and in Second the Viscount de Rochambeau ;
Neustrie, Colonel Commandant le Comte de Guibert, and, in Second the Viscount
le Veneur; Roucrgue, Colonel Commandant the Viscount des Custine, and in
Second, the Marquis de Ludie ; Royal Corse Colonel Commandant the Marquis du
Luc, and in Second the Count de Pontever: Royal-Deux-Ponts, Colonel Com-
mandant the Comte de Deux- Fonts : Saintonge, Colonel Commandant the Viscount
de Berainger, and in Second the ]Marquis de Themines. It is asserted, there will
LETTERS OF JOHN ADAMS AND JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, 1776-1838 23 1
be added a Detachment of Artillery, and that the Baron de Viomenil, the Comte
de Chattelne and the Comte de Witgenstein, will embark with these Troupes, and
they say that the Duke de Lauzun will have the Command of a Body of Twelve
hundred Volunteers, and that he will be joined to the Armament under the Com-
mand of the Comte de Rochambeau. All these Troupes, as it is believed, will
embark at Brest, and will go out under the Convoy of the Comte du Chaffaut de
Besne. They Add that he will have more than Thirty Seven Ships of the Line
under his Command, destined for an Expedition, whereof the genuine object is
yet unknown. Many other Regiments have also orders, to March down nearer
to those upon the Sea Coast, and there are many Vessells taken up, upon Freight,
for the Service of the King, in the different parts of the Kingdom. The Freight
at Havre is 30 Livres a Ton, on Condition that the owner furnish his Vessell for
12 Months. They say that the Prince de Conde will go out and command upon
the Coast of Britany, with the Comte de Vaux.
These Rumours presage well and indicate that the Courts of France and
Spain begin to see that their true Policy lies in transferring their exertions across
the Atlantic, where they will have great advantages and make business brisk, and
give fair Play to our Privateers.
I hope everybody will exert themselves in Privateering. This is our Part of
the war.
But I Suppose General Washington in the Course of Things will be called to
co-operate and he will no doubt be supported and enabled.
Affectionately Yours
John Adams.

Amsterdam Septr. 20. 1780
My dear Sir.
Your Favour of the loth of July, is received. Mr. Searle, who is yet at Paris,
I hope to see soon here. Am happy to learn that the People of Massachusetts
have accepted the Constitution: May they be wise in the choice of their Rulers,
and happy under them. The Constitution, and the Address to the People have
much Respect shewn them in Europe.
The accounts from various Parts of the Activity and Ardour of the People are
very pleasing and promise good success. But I fear that without a clearer
Superiority of Naval Strength nothing decisive will be done. The Accounts of
Embargoes distress me, because they discourage Trade and Privateering, and I
expect more benefit from them than from exertions at Land. Nothing will ever
be done to effect untill the Allied Powers apply all their attention to the Destruc-
tion of the British Commerce, Transports and Marine. I hope soon to see M.
Laurens with a Commission of Plenipotentiary to their high mightinesses. This
would be a great political Stroke, and have great effects, many ways.
232 LETTERS OF JOHN ADAMS AND JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, 1776-1838
The English are now all drunk. The Run of Elections indicate Continuance
of War, and the most desperate obstinacy. The nation, however is impotent. The
loss of their E. & W. India fleet is a severe Blow. May they soon have Repetition
upon Repetition of such strokes.
Yours affectionately
John Adams.

Dear Sir
I have only time to introduce to you Mr. De L'Etombe Consul of France, to
reside at Boston for the nortliern States. I think America will find in this
gentleman, a worthy able Friend of his own country and of ours.
The nation with whom I reside is in a critical Situation. Our affairs here are
in the Same State of Suspense with their own. I can promise nothing with re-
spect to Money, Commerce or Politicks, but my utmost Endeavours. Time alone,
a good deal of it too, can determine. Be assured I have great need of Patience.
I am &c

Dear Sir
The ill Health, contracted in Amsterdam, which began with a violent nervous
Fever, last August, and which left me with Gout and Scurvy, and a complication
of Disorders, which are scarce yet Cured, have prevented me from writing to my
Friends so often as I wished.
It was necessary that I should take my station, at Amsterdam in the Time of
it, for the Sake of the Society of my Countrymen, and for the Convenience of free
Conversation with those Persons, who were able and desirous to promote the
American Cause. But my Residence in that City has given a terrible Shock to
my delicate and feeble Frame.
What say you, to the alliance of the first Commercial Power in Europe next
to England, a Republican and a Protestant Power? Is it an event of Importance
or no? There are who dispute it. The two Houses of Orange and Brunswick
have heretofore acted sublime Parts in favour of the Cause of Liberty. Ther
LETTERS OF JOHN ADAMS AND JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, 17761838 233
have lately acted too much in Concert against it. That of Orange must now
return to its old System and Principles. I confess I felt a great Pleasure to be
introduced to that Court where William the first and William the third accom-
plished such great things in favour of the Protestant Religion and the Rights of
Mankind, and to their Hereditary successors. This Country appears to me more a
Home than any other that I have seen. I have often been to that Church in
Leyden where the Planters of Plymouth worshiped so many years and felt a kind
of Veneration for the Bricks and Timbers.
Pray how does your Constitution work? How does the Privy Council play
its part? Are there no Inconveniences found in it? it is the Part which I have
been most anxious about, lest it should become unpopular and Gentlemen should
be adverse to serve in it. This form of Government has a very high Reputation
in Europe, and I wish it may be as well approved in Practice as it is in Theory.
The great work of Peace advances but Slowly. Our excellent Friend Mr.
Laurens, has declined acting in the Commission on account of his ill Health, an
excuse that I might alledge perhaps with equal Reason for transmitting a Resig-
nation of all my Employments, for I really am in a very feeble State. I have
returned to my old Physician, a Saddle Horse, and if his Skill does not restore
me, I shall certainly try the air of the blue Hills.
This Moment comes in an Invitation to Mr. Adams to Sup with the Prince and
Princess of Orange, at his Country Seat which they call the Maison du Bois, this
Evening. All this is very right. The Sons of Liberty have the best right of Any
People under Heaven to dine and sup with this Family. I wish you could be of
the Party. I always think of you when I see any of the Portraits of this Family.
William the first looks much like you.
I will make a Visit to-day to his Highness and pray him to send an Ambas-
sador to Congress. I have a right to speak to him on this subject, as he is a
Member of the States General, tho as Statholder it is not in his Department

My dear Sir.
The present Minister, Shelbume I remember disgusted me by an unintelligible
misterious and Equivocal Letter or Number of Letters and in general by the Con-
duct he held fifteen or twenty years ago. and I recollect some disputes I had with
Mr. Otis upon his Lordships subject at that time. His Lordship appears to be tne
same character at this day. He is a good proof of personal identity. His Court
has lately signified, in this style, to the two Imperial Courts and to Versailles, that
his Majesty pretended not to prejudice any question, nor to hinder any Person
from entering a Congress, whether it was a question of the States General, or
whether they would make enter there the American Colonies. The Commission to
234 LETTERS OF JOHN ADAMS AND JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, 1776-1838
Mr. Fitzherbert, is to treat of Peace with the Ministers quorumcunque Statuum
quorum interesse poterit.
Now if St. James's means by this the United States why not use the Words?
if they do not mean them, we shotdd not be decoyed by such artifices. There
seems to be something like an Endeavour in Earnest to agree upon some Prelimi-
naries, but what will be the success I know not. Charles Fox has shewn himself
the greatest Statesman in G. Britain, and if his Idea had been adopted he would
have really served his Country.
I see, by the Papers, the Massachusetts goes on very consistently and Steadily
the same Govr. Lt. and President of the Senate. I wish myself often with you,
and hope, some time or other to be so, for I am weary of so insipid an Existence as
I hold in Europe. I am wearing myself out, to little visible Purpose. I came
within an Hairs breadth of succumbing under this dutch Mission, but thank God
it has terminated happily, and I look upon it the very Pivot upon which our
System turned in Europe, and our Sons will see, if we do not, the Importance of
it. This being accomplished I see nothing more for me to do in Europe. As to
Peace I dispair as Things now are of doing so much good, as I could do at home,
with infinitely more satisfaction.
This State is thinking of Sending a Minister to Philadelphia, if he should land
at Boston, I hope he will be taken proper notice of. But the step here is too slow
and it is very difficult to quicken it.
affectionately yours
Hon S. Adams

The Hague August 29. 1782
Dear Sir
The King of England has sent Mr. Fitzherbert to Paris with a Commission to
treat of Peace, with his dear Brother the King of France and with the Ministers
of the States General, and of all other Principum et Statuum quorum interesse
poterit. The States General have appointed Mr. Brantzen to make Peace too,
but in concert with France and the other belligerent Powers. Mr. Brantzen has
not yet gone, but he told me two days ago, that he should set off in a few days.
The object is to see if they can agree upon Preliminaries at Paris, previous to a
general Congress. Dr. Franklin and Mr. Jay are to inform me by Expresses of
what passes. But the Earl of Shelburne is very Secret and misterious. He is
afraid of opposition at home.
The Success will depend upon open Events, the Fate of Gibraltar, the East
Indies, New York &c.
Mr. Laurens declines acting in the Commission for Peace for which I am
very sorry as well as that Mr. Jefferson is not arrived.
The English are humbled and depressed to a degree, but not unanimously so.
There is a great Body that still blusters and vapours, and the Refugees are inde-
LETTERS OF JOHN ADAMS AND JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, 1776-1838 235
fatigable in irritating these, to recommence offensive Hostilities in America. Any
Sig^nal Success would enable them to carry the Point, but there is no probability
of such Success. Relieving Gibraltar which would be a brilliant Event, would
however not have the Effect because tho a gjeat Thing would be saved, nothing
would be positively gained by it.
It is not possible to say how long England may hold out : but her distresses in-
crease and new Embarrassments are rising up. Scotland is now in Motion. All
such Things however operate slowly and faintly, in reducing the Fury of the
Natives, and still more so in convincing the King, to whose will Shelbume seems
as much devoted as ever North was.
Means are still found to buoy up the Hopes of a Part that some Conquest or
Conciliation may yet be effected with America, and it will never cease to be so
while they have so many hired Lyars in their pay, who stick at nothing however
gross, and nothing is too gross to impose.
With my best Respects to your Family, I am my dear Sir

Mr. Grigby, the Bearer of this Letter, is recommended to me, by Gentlemen
who have been friendly and usefull to America in the Peace, in such a Manner
tiiat I beg Leave to introduce him to your acquaintance. His views I Suppose are
commercial, but a Letter to you may do him more Honour than to many mere
Merchants, and perhaps more Service even in his own Way.
I have been waiting month after Month for the Completion of the definitive
Treaty and for News from America, but cannot yet Say when we shall see either.
The Pause has been very disagreeable. But we hope for an End Soon. I want
to come home for many Reasons, one of which lies with great Weight upon my
Mind. It is to persuade you to make a Collection of your Writings, in which I
think the new world deeply interested, and the old one too.

The Hague May i. 1784
My dear Sir
I received this morning your Letter of November4&Decr.4with great Pleasure
I had heard of your Illness and was anxious to hear of your recovery. Long
236 LETTERS OF JOHN ADAMS AND JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, 1776-1838
Voyages and Journeys, great Agitation of Mind and the Air of putrid Cities, have
given me so many severe Fits of Sickness, that I feel myself more affected hear-
ing of Such Misfortunes befalling my Friends. I have recovered, however, a
better share of Health than I expected, and by Writing Less and walking and
riding more, I hope to preserve it.
The Refugees were a difficult subject to manage in the negociations of the
Peace. We did the best we could. We were not in a condition to prescribe all the
Terms We could have wished: and we were lucky, under all Circumstances, in
obtaining in a very critical Moment what We did. The continuance of the War,
which was very narrowly escaped, might have reduced England lower, and might
have raised her Enemies higher, but I am fully perswaded that we instead of
gaining by it, should have lost. Had the Situation of the belligerent Powers, or
the State of the negotiations been such that England had been ready to Agree
upon Terms with France and Spain, before she was ready to agree with Us, You
may easily imagine, what might have been the consequence, especially if France
had advised us to consent to Terms respecting the Refugees the Fisheries and
Boundaries which Britain might have proposed to us.
We need not weigh very Scrupulously our obligations to France nor hers to
Us — ^both sides have fullfilled their Engagements hitherto, and I doubt not will
continue to do so. The Alliance has been beneficial to both, and may continue to
be so. But I think the History of the Reign of Louis the fifteenth ought to be read
in America — it is amazing to Speculate, and can do no harm to put Suppositions.
Suppose Britain in 1778, instead of making War with France, had taken Mauduit's
Advice, or perhaps Lord North's advice, acknowledged American Independence,
and proposed an alliance offensive and defensive with the United States ? What
would at this hour have been the Situation of France? or Suppose the Colonies
had continued to this day. Subject to the Dominition and Monarchy of Britain?
I answer without hesitation, in the latter Case, she must have asked Leave of
Britain to put a Ship to Sea.
I only wish that my Countrymen had been possessed of a little more Con-
fidence in their own Negotiators, and pushed their Connections with more Steadi-
ness and activity with other Nations. This could have done them no harm, and I
am confident would have done them a great deal of good, even with their Allies.
Whether the Historian shall do me Justice or not, with regard to my "Nego-
tiation with Holland" I care very little, but I wish that Mr. Jay and Mr. Dana as
well as Mr. Izzard and Mr. Lee may do Justice to themselves and their Country,
by faithfully recording those important Facts which fell within their knowledge,
relative to their own negotiations. I will compound with the Historians for my-
self if they will say no ill of me. But there are Facts which ought to be remem-
bered and held up to view in time, not to excite needless Jealousies, but as the
Sailors plant Buoys on the shallows. I have other reasons — I know that aban-
doned Calomnies will be recorded in History, if some care is not taken to ascer-
tain the Truth. There are Politicians in the World who have great Numbers of
Historians under their Thumbs to whom lies and slanders c6st nothing at all.
Funds for the punctual Payment of our Foreign Debt are of great importance
of all our Debts indeed. But whether it is best to divide the Debt among the
LETTERS OF JOHN ADAMS AND JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, 1776-1838 237
States, I leave to better Judges. This would give more general Satisfaction per-
haps and the Money be more honestly collected.
Our country My Friend is not yet out of Danger. There are great Diffi-
culties in our Constitution and Situation to reconcile Government, Finance, Com-
merce, and foreign affairs with our Liberties. The Prospect before us is joyfull
but there are Intricacies in it, which will perplex the wisest Heads, wound the
most honest hearted and disturb the coolest and finest tempers.
I have long been of opinion that our Country is the Worst in the world for a
Prophet to live in. — it is not possible to foresee Events with us, as in other
Countries. Changes upon Changes may be expected, but what, when, and how,
must be left to time. Let us enjoy the little space that is left to us, without dis-
tressing ourselves with too distant Prospects. I believe We may rest assured
there are no scenes destined for our Posterity more delicate or distressing than
Some that we have Seen, and felt

Hon Samuel Adams Esq.
The Same to the Same.
The Hague May 4. 1784
Dear Sir
Your advice "to reconcile myself to the Thought that Justice may not be done
to me till I am dead" is friendly. I am not however, apprehensive of Injustice
living or dead. I am not ambitious of a Reputation for great Talent or Splendid
Actions, with the present Age or with Posterity. The great Anxiety of my Life,
has been to do my Duty and avoid just Reproach, and I know very well, that
my Life has been passed at such a remote Distance, from every bad Principle and
foul Course, that no Authority will be credited, which may be so abandoned as
to ascribe to me, any Thing very vicious or very vile. When you say that "while I
live, I shall probably be the object of Envy" you flatter me, because that Envy
is the best Testimony that the Envious can give of their Sense of a Mans Merit. I
do not think that Envy Strictly Speaking abounds in the World. Many are falsely
accused of Envy. Indignation against successful villainy, and Contempt of law
Cunning or Empiricism are not Envy, though they are often called so. In former
Parts of my Life I have made Enemies or rather have excited little Resentments
by too much Ardour, or by little Incautious or Indescretions upon great occasions
but I was never very sensible that I was envied but once. My Commission for
Peace was envied by one Man, and by one only that I knew of, and this dirty
Passion, put him upon a series of falsehood, of insidious underhand Maneuvre
and other base practices, which would tarnish any Reputation whenever or wher-
ever it should be exposed. These Proceedings distressed me, not for myself for I
never cared a farthing for any consequence they Could have upon me, but for
238 LETTERS OF JOHN ADAMS AND JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, 1776-1838
the Publick, because I saw, that they put to the utmost hazard some of the most
important Interests of our Country, and it is a kind of Miracle that they did not
finally forfeit us all our Fish and Fur and Venison at least. These are secured,
and I am no longer troubled about any Mans Envy or Jealousy.
The Envy and Jealousy alluded to was aided by two Auxiliaries which made
it dangerous — one was the Jealousy of the South which cannot bear to see any
Character of Consequence, arising in the North, and the other was an Influence,
which has betrayed two much Inclination to domineer in our Councils and
Negotiations, and therefore has never treated with common Decency any Ameri-
can Character, which would not be a Prostitute. I saw, with a Grief and Indigna-
tion, which no Historian will record, because no words can express it, the gpreat
Council giving way to these 3 Jealousies, and sacrificing a Man whose Conduct
they were necessitated to applaud. But all this is past.
You assign me a Station which would probably be envied. But I shall prob-
ably never be in it, and I assure you, since I saw it I have much less Inclination
for it, than I ever had.
There is one certain way of getting rid of Envy, and that is getting out of
envyed Places. This is now, I thank God and ever shall be in my Power. But
I will never make use of this Power from the fear of Envy. As soon as I shall
see that there is no further Service to be done by me, I can retire with greater Joy
than I ever felt upon any Honour that was done me. For my own Gratification I
declare to you that I had rather be a Selectman of Braintree than Ambassador to
any Court in the World.

Dear Sir
I have received your Letters by Mr. Jackson and Mr. Appleton. The former
I answered some days ago. My Son who is going to London in hopes of meeting
his Mother and Sister will convey this from thence. I shall probably be fixed
here, out of the reach of that Envy which you prophesy whose Power I never
felt or dreaded until I saw Europe.
There are little Fermentations in the Courts of Europe, and some appearances
of Jealousies between the two Imperial Courts and the House of Bourbon which
some People apprehend will disturb the publick Tranquility but I hope otherwise.
I was received in London very politely by Governor Pownal, who talked much
of visiting America. If he comes I hope he will be received with Respect. He has
done good Service to our Cause, by some of his Writings.
Let me hear from you as often as you can.

The Hague June 25. 1784.
Dear Sir
I have this morning received your Favours of the 16 & 17 of April and am
fully with you in Sentiment that "the sooner a commercial Treaty is settled with
the English, the better" but you must be sensible that no Treaty can be made until
somebody or other, one or more, are authorized by Congress. While every British
Minister is dancing on a Slack Rope and afraid of every popular Wind, least it
should blow him over, he will never dare to treat with any Persons who are not
regularly authorized, any more than he will dare to refuse or neglect to treat
with such as may be as Mr. Jay and Mr. Laurens are gone home, which will
change the Plans of Congress and We must now wait, probably till next Spring,
for Powers. We can never Know what England will do untill We try her. But
I am afraid our only Remedy and final Resource must be a Navigation Act, and
whether the Southern States will ever agree to this, I know not.
I am as much afraid of District & State conventions and of the Cincinnati, as
you are, and hope they will be laid aside. The last which is an order of chivalry
and more, will have many very unhappy Effects besides exciting contests and
Dissentions if not relinquished or suppressed.
In answer to the Questions of Dr. Noyes and Captn. Dashwood I am almost
afraid to say any Thing, as so many of my poor opinions have been indiscreetly
quoted. I know no more of this matter than the Gentlemen who ask the ques-
tions. The British Finances are so oppressed, that I have Small Faith in their
compensations, even to any of the Refugees. Yet this ought not to prevent Dr.
Noyes and Capt Dashwood from taking any Measures in their Power. They
may transmit their Demands to England into the Hands of any Friend or Agent,
but I Should have small Confidence in the Success.
Never in my Life was I so much at Loss, what Course to Steer, as since the
Peace. I sought and asked leave to go home. Congress on the contrary resolved
to send a Comn to me & two others F[ranklin] & J [ay] to treat with England. I
concluded to stay and wrote for my wife. But neither the Commisioner nor the
Wife arrive. Jay is gone, yet I every moment expect my Wife will come so that
I cant go home, and I see no Possibility now of any Commission arriving before
next Spring. The only Thing that remains for me is to Stay here at the Hague,
and wait with Patience the moving of Waters which are as Slow and Stagnant as
the Dutch Canals.
The Treaty with England is important to all and especially for New England.
I would therefore neglect nothing in my Power. But I have none. Congress
must push and force the British Ministry, and this in my opinion is not impossible
nor difficult to be done. The People of England would do the Work if Congress
once Sends a Full Power. But nobody can do it without the Authority of the
United States. For my own Tranquility Satisfaction and Interest I had rather
be here, than at Paris or London. But I cannot do much for the publick here,
nor indeed do I know that I could in either of those Places. Associated with
Franklin alone it is probable I should be able to do less at Paris than here.

Mr. Storer will be able to give you Information respecting many Things, and

I think the Massachusetts ought to persevere in her Navigation Act even
although Great Britain should retaliate upon her, and her alone ; and even although
she should not be followed by all, or even any of her Sister States. I think she
must find her advantage in it in the end ; in all Events, it is one of those Measures
which Secures its Benefits whatever may happen. She will become the principal
Manufacturer of Ships and the Principal Carrier, if she is not imitated.
I think We shall have a long Commercial Struggle, but Patience and Perse-
verance you know will carry Men through many Tryals.

Dear Sir
Give me leave to introduce to you Mr. Anstey a Member of Parliament and
Barrister at Law, who is sent out by the Commissioners of American Qaims to
verify facts, such as Titles to Estates, Incumbrances upon them &c.
LETTERS OF JOHN ADAMS AND JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, 1776-1838 24 1
The House of Commons yesterday ordered an account of Vessells cleared
out for the Importation of Flour Biscuit and Live Stock from the U States into
any of the Islands of Newfoundland &c and also an account of all Flour &c im-
ported into any of the Islands in Newfoundland, between the loth Jan 1784, and
the loth Jan. 1785.
Whether this portends good or evil, time will discover. The Debates in
Parliament have taken an unusual Turn to foreign Politicks, and the relative
Situation of Great Britain. If this Subject should be fully considered they will
discover that it is of some importance to know the Situation of Great Britain
relatively to the U States of America. It would not be extravagant to say that
they may hereafter find it in the Power of Congress to turn the Ballance and
decide their Fate. Congress has hitherto been studiously kept out of sight by the
K. Ministry and opposition. They are afraid of raising in American Minds Ideas
of their Importance. Russia Denmark and England would not form a Ballance
to Bourbon and Holland, if Congress should be joined. Indeed if the U. States
should be neutral the Ballance would not be exact. In my humble opinion We
must be neutral or join the French and Dutch.
Opinions are very sanguine that this country can support their Credit without
a very fair Commerce with Us. There is nothing then remaining but Foreign
Politicks and the Ballance of Power, to persuade them to give us Satisfaction.
They generally consider us as already in the Scale of Bourbon, and it is not easy
to Convince them that we are not. I have endeavoured to convince them that
Neutrality is in our Power, but with little success. Indeed they really do not
think us of much Consequence. We have no Navy ; and are Aukward in Uniting
in anything. Some of them indeed agree that We shall grow, both in Union
Dignity and Power. It is really of More moment to this Country to Secure the
Neutrality of the United States than the alliance of Prussia, and the time will
come when it will be seen and felt. But the Nation is too much influenced and
imbittered to reflect coolly upon any Thing respecting America. Our Path is
plain. We must make navigation Acts, and take of ourselves, preserve our
Neutrality as long as we can, and when we must part with it, get the best Price
for it We can. It is much to be desired that our Commerce with all other nations
may be increased, especially France & Holland, and lessening with England as
much as possible, untill she shall put it on a more liberal Footing. The Political
Friendship too of France Spain and Holland should be cultivated as much as
possible without involving us too far

Grosvenor Square June 2. 1786
Dear Sir
Dr. Gordon who is arrived with your Favour of the 13 of April, will probably
242 LETTERS OF JOHN ADAMS AND JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, 17761838
be dissapointed in hisWishes that mutual affection may be restored ; as much as he
is mistaken in his opinion that this is the only means of the Prosperity of both
Countries. America will prosper whether Love or Hatred Subsists.
It is indeed improbable that mutual affection will ever be restored, not indeed
so much from Resentments of what is past, or Suspicious that Resentments exist,
as from the Secret Cause of all the late Claims and Proceedings, a Jealousy of
America as a Rival. This Nation sees the United States are the most formidable
Rival they have in the Commerce of Asia, Africa, and Europe.
We must be content to live with her upon Terms of Jealousy, at best.
Men in private Life nevertheless may, without affection, live with each other
upon Terms of Honour, and Nations, amidst the most habitual Prejudices and
ancient Rivalry are known to live together in Times of Peace, with Decorum and
mutual good Faith.
Can we say this of Great Britain, and the United States? No not of either.
I think we have the worst of it. The Peltries with the Posts, The Pay for the
Negroes and other Things they hold unjustly from Us, are of greater Value than
the Articles we withhold with equal Injustice from them. So tliat I think that
CEconomy, leaving out of the Question all Considerations of Honour and Good
Faith, and also the Danger of War and Bloodshed growing out of this imprudent
Flickering, Should dictate to Us to repeal all the Laws impeding the Recovery of
Debts, and all others inconsistent with the Treaty respecting the Tories. When
we have done Equity we may with a good Grace, demand Equity. "Put your
Ennemy in the Wrong" was a Precept of Mr. Otis, but I think the same impor-
tant Truth is better expressed by saying "Keep yourself always in the Right," and
then whenever your Ennemy is in the Wrong you have the advantage of him,
if the Cause is to be discussed before an honest Trybunal, such as your own
Conscience the impartial World or the Judge of all.
Another War with G. B. would be a very serious Thing to the U. S. It would
be still more calamitous perhaps to her, G. B. But if she is nearly desperate and
Thinks that Things cannot be much worse. We are not so. I think therefore that
we should avoid it if possible. It would turn to the advantage of ArtfuU Allies,
and a turbulent Ambitious Army ; it might excuse those who are involved, from
paying their Debts to England, and it might keep out the Tories; but it would
entail upon our Posterity forever a System of Debts and Taxes with all its con-
committent Corruption of Principles and Manners, all the Avariced Ambition
Intrigue and chicane of the most depraved Country in Europe.
Let us however be prepared, as well as we can. The Spirit which begins to
appear of encouraging Manufactures, especially of all the materials for Naviga-
tion, and Munitions of War is very judicious.
The World is at present calm, but a storm may be not far off. a Qoud hangs
over South America, which altho at present no bigger than a hand, may soon
darken the whole horizon. The Courts of Europe are Secretly at work. Leagues
are forming, but of what nature and to what Ends are not yet clear.
I should be unworthy of the Confidence which you suppose my Country has
in me if I should encourage it. She must confide in herself alone. She must
fullfill the Treaty of Peace or it will never be fullfilled by G. Britain. She must
LETTERS OF JOHN ADAMS AND JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, 17761838 243
oppose Navigation Acts to Navigation Acts or she will never have a free Com-

Mv DEAR Sir
In the Letter which I regret not to have now before me, enclosing a copy of
244 LETTERS OF JOHN ADAMS AND JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, 17761838
your printed answer to enquiries from certain Gentlemen of your vicinity, respect-
ing your opinions upon some of the public topics of discussion in which I perceive
you take a strong interest, I understood you particularly to consult me with
regard to that passage principally, if not exclusively, wherein you allude to the
Masonic and antimasonic controversy. I think you remarked that some of your
friends apprehended you had not been sufficiently explicit, in the expression of
your Sentiments on that subject — and you intimate your confidence that I should
think otherwise.
If the object of your address was merely to make known your impressions with
regard to the character of Free Masonry and its antient landmarks, it is quite
sufficiently explicit for my satisfaction. You think of them in the abstract as I do.
If your object further was to abstain from taking part in the controversy now
agitating our native Commonwealth on this subject, I should consider your
manner alluding to it also sufficiently explicit. But those of your friends if
there were such, who took a deep interest in the discussions connected with this
topic, as now in debate before the People of Massachusetts, might have desired
that in your address, you should have entered into it more at large ; and especially
that you should have disclosed your views with regard to the desire manifested
by a portion of the People of the Commonwealth that the administration of the
Masonic Oaths and obligations, within the State should be prohibited by further
legislative enactment.
This appears to me to be now the only question remaining between those who
disapprove the Masonic obligations, that is, if I mistake not, four fifths of the
people of the State.
The act of the last Session of the Legislature against unlawful oaths, would
in my Judgment have been altogether satisfactory had it been received and under-
stood by the adhering Masons of the State as applicable to their Institution. But
the adhering Masons avowed that they did not consider it as applicable to them,
and although there have since then been a considerable number of highly respect-
able seceders from the Institution no Sympton of Submission to the Law of the
State as applicable to them has been manifested by the Grand Lodge, chapter or
Encampment, nor by any subordinate lodge, with the exception perhaps of two
or three which have surrounded their charters. The Masonic organization re-
mains unimpaired. The anti masons have therefore generally deemed it prema-
ture to Strike their Political Standard, and the difference between them yet forms
an unfortunte source of division between portions of the People who on all other
questions of great present political interest appear to be agreed.
This difference has given me great concern and it has been my most earnest
desire that those divisions should be healed. The coincidence of my own opinions
with those of the Anti Masons, which I have not felt myself justified in attempt-
ing to conceal or to withhold, has deprived me of the Confidence of all those who
disapprove of political anti-masonry throughout the State, excepting in the 12th
Congressional District, where I reside. It is to me a satisfaction inexpressible
that there, among my neighbors and friends, even those whigs who have most
strenuously differed from me upon the Masonic question have yet been satisfied
with my conduct as the Representative of the district, and have not withdrawn
LETTERS OF JOHN ADAMS AND JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, 1776-1838 245
their confidence from me. To the Anti-Masons therefore and to the whigs of that
District, I feel myself under equal obligations for their generous confidence and
friendly estimate of my service, and if the uncompromising Freedom with which
I have avowed opinions in advance of the prevailing sentiments of the People
throughout the rest of the Commonwealth has shaken the hold which a long and
much contested political career had acquired for me in their good will I can
cheerfully wait for that cool and settled public opinion, which after all the ordi-
nary fluctuations of time and chance, ultimately locates the reputation of public
men where it must remain.
The Masonic and Anti Masonic question, at issue, before the People of
Massachusetts, is not upon the merits or demerits of Freemasonry. It is how that
pernicious institution shall be suppressed and whether it shall or shall not be
suppressed by prohibitory Laws. Upon this point your published Letter is not
explicit. Mr. Merrick heretofore an ardent Anti-mason has declared his opinion
that the Act of the Last Session of the Legislature was sufficient, and has pub-
lished a powerful argument against the Bill afterwards proposed, and which may
be brought forward again at the next Session. Governor Davis and Governor
Lincoln have exerted themselves much, and have effected something by means of
persuasion addressed to the Masons themselves, whose confidence and support
they have been fortunate enough to retain. It would be infinitely more pleasing
to me, if by a frank and voluntary renunciation of the craft, the Masons would
supersede all necessity for further Legislation in the State against it. But until
the administration of anv one Masonic Oath shall cease to be effected within the
Commonwealth, I should regret to see the Anti-Masonic Spirit Subside. I be-
lieve this opinion is not yet popular, and that it might be safer to keep on the
non committal side. That is no longer in my power.
I have answered your enquiry as fully as I believe it was your purpose to ex-
tend it. Your printed Letter touches upon other topics of great National interest.
I do not understand you as desiring to know how far my opinions concerning
thetn correspond with yours and therefore leave them without commentary, but
with assurance of the great regard, and respect, with which I am your friend
and sert.
J. Q. Adams,
The Same to the Same.
George Bancroft Esqr. Springfield
QuiNCY 25 October 1835
Dear Sir
I have read with great attention the address to the Democratic Electors of
Massachusetts which you did me the favour to enclose; with your Letter of the
i6th inst and for which I pray you to accept my cordial acknowledgments.
There is much in every part of the Address, with which my judgment entirely
concurs, and I have no doubt, that it will make useful impression upon the public
mind. With some of the speculative opinions upon the nature of Government,
246 LETTERS OF JOHN ADAMS AND JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, 1776-1838
and some of the definitions of Democracy which it contains, I am not sufficiently
familiarized to come to an immediate conclusion of their soundness.
The word Democracy like all other highly significant words, is susceptible of
several very distinct and different meanings. The word itself first used by the
Greeks, as the thing was first practiced by them, imparts simply the Government
of the People, It is as you know, defined by Aristotle as one of the three simple
forms of Government, and is represented by him as in itself a good form of
Government, but having a tendency to degenerate into a very bad one, ochlocracy,
or the Government of the mob.
Aristocracy, the Government of the best, is also according to Aristotle a good
Government, but its tendency is to degenerate into oligarchy or the Government
of the few, and the few in all such cases must necessarily be the rich, who very
soon settle it as a maxim that the ruling power of a state is Property,
The third legitimate Government according to Aristotle is Monarchy, the
Government of one, according to the Laws, and its degeneracy is despotism, or
the Government of one, according to his will — arbitrary power.
Now the Theory of good Government which I have imbibed from childhood,
which I was taught by the instructions of my father, which I learnt in every
stage of the history of mankind, which the French Revolution, at the dawn of
my political life, brought up again as a problem in politics to be solved again by
experiment, and which from that day to this has been tested by a continued suc-
cession of experiments by almost every civilized nation in Europe, all terminating
in the same results and fixing it upon my mind firm as an oracle of Holy writ, is
a Government compounded of the three elements — A Government, instituted for
the protection both of persons and of property, to secure alike the rights of
persons and the rights of things. The right of property is a natural right as much
as the right of life, which is merely personal, but as the earth was given by the
creator to mankind in common, the distribution of property in it is left to be
settied among the human race, by physical force or by agreement, compact, cove-
nant. This I take to be the origin of Government. It is founded on persons and on
property. And if Democracy is founded exclusively on persons and not on
property, I fear it will follow the tendency of its nature and degenerate into
ochlocracy and Lynch Law, burning down convents and hanging abolitionists or
gamblers, without Judge or Jury, without fear of God to restrain, and without
remorse to punish.
You consider Aristocracy as a Government founded on property. I consider
this as the degeneracy of Aristocracy, and agree with you that it is a very bad
Government, but if you define Government, by Moral properties, is not Aristocracy
the Government of the best, as much entitled to all the attributes of virtue as your
Democracy.
From the whole tenour of this argument in your address I am convinced that
after full and mutual explanations there would be found no material diflFerence
of principle between us. But we should find it necessary to come to rigorous
definitions of terms to reconcile my mind to your conclusion that a Government
founded on the rights of persons and not of property, can be identical with a
Government of Justice and Benevolence.
LETTERS OF JOHN ADAMS AND JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, 1776-1838 247
And when you speak of Democracy, the Government of the People, whom do
you mean by the People? Every village, every town, every city, every county,
every State of this Union has its People. In the word People do you include the
women and children? In the word People, applied South of Mason and Dicksons
line do you include the slaves? do you include the coloured free? I heard Mr.
Calhoun once give as a toast, universal education and I had it on my lips to ask
him to add, skin deep, but I thought he would not understand me, nor be likely
to relish my explanation, if he should call for it. So I said nothing but mused
upon the probable consequences of universal education extended to the People
of South Carolina.
Let us come closer home. Your address is in the name of the Convention of
Democratic Young Men of this our native Commonwealth. It is a pro-
fession of principles by a party recommending four individuals for the two highest
offices of the Union, and of the State. It is an electioneering argument. If
Democracy be, as in one of your definitions, the government of public opinion, and
public opinion that of the majority of members I apprehend the Democracy of
Massachusetts is not with you at this time. You say your offences are great.
Democracy in this Commonwealth. But though to them your sins be as scarlet,
let but the Sceptre depart from them for an hour and they will proclaim you White
as Snow.
That the Sceptre will depart from them I hold to be infallible, but whether
within one two, three or four years I cannot distinctly foresee. Their fall is cer-
tain, because they have no honest common principle to keep them together. For
divulging this truth I have been put to the ban of their tottering empire. It is
nevertheless Truth, and portends their inevitable doom.
If the union of the Anti Masons, and of the party friendly to the National
administration, could be effected throughout the Commonwealth, even now, the
knell of this unprincipaled and motly compound would toll. That it will be
effected to a considerable extent appears by concurrent nominations of the two
parties for the office of Lieut. Governor and for Senators in Several Counties
which have already been made. The principles of your Address, and the Resolu-
tion of the democratic Convention adverse to Secret Associations, go very far to
conciliate the Anti Masons, but I hope your democratic friends will not ultimately
stop there. The deep damnation of Freemasonry is not its secrecy, but its
atrocious Oaths. The secrecy is but aggravation. The utter perversion of moral
and religious principle in its hideous obligations and execrable penalties, is the
gangrene of that Institution which nothing can purify but death.
I am very glad that you have undertaken to prepare an outline of parties from
the origin of this Union, and shall be highly gratified to peruse it when completed.
I think you will find that division of the party holding Government to be founded
upon persons, and the party holding Government to be founded on property, run-
ning through the whole of our history almost in parallel lines. You will find these
two parties alternately prevailing from the day of the Declaration of Independ-
ence to this hour, and I hope you will see cause to conclude that the true Theory
of Government is that which provides alike for the protection and Security both
of persons and property.
248 LETTERS OF JOHN ADAMS AND JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, 1776-1838
In considering the causes of hostility which has pursued me throughout my
political life, you will find much of it hereditary hatred of a tory progeny against
my father, partly to be traced up to the time of the stamp act, and the Disserta-
tion upon Canon and Feudal Law. Thence descending to the Essex Junto, and
the funding System federalists of Alexander Hamilton. To this you will add the
influence of personal individual rivalry commencing while I was at the Univer-
sitys, the rancorous malignity of the federal junto against me from the time I
declared my approbation of the Louisiana purchase, wound up to a pitch of fury,
by my support of Mr. Jefferson's administration upon the affair of the Leopard
and the Chesapeake, soon after succeeded by the Embargo, and in the case of
Burrs treasonable projects. To all this must be added the Quintessence of worm-
wood distilled through all the channels of Freemasonry for the last eight years
and must I say the gratuitous and ill requiting enmity of President Jackson ? If
after a review of this Combination of opposition against me, you need a supply
of errors, infirmities or indiscretions of my own to account for the mass of
obloquy under which I am staggering through the last Stage of Life, you may
perhaps find it by your Sagacity, but it has never been disclosed by my own
consciousness to myself
Hie murus aheneus esto;
Nil conscire mihi — nulla pallescere culpa.
The Island of Virginia, was discovered by some British Statesman in a Parlia-
mentry debate, but I recollect neither who it was. or when it happened, nor my
authority for the anecdote, which I read or heard of in my boyhood, and during
the War of the Revolution.
I have hardly left myself room to assure you of my high respect and regard

The Same to the Same.
Gfokge Bancroft Esqr. Collector of the Customs, Boston
Washington 31 March 1838.
Dear Sir
If Mr. Cunningham is competent to perform the duties of his office, and has
faithfully performed them, I intreat you to retain him as earnestly as I could, were
he the warmest of my friends. I hold no resentment against him, even for the
wrongs of his conduct to my father. Certainly none for any that he may have
done to myself. I pray you to retain him in his office and as I have no more
desire to humiliate than to injure him I ask of you the further favour not to let
him know that he is in any manner indebted to me for this intercession.
With regard to the remainder of your Letter, I receive it in the kindness of
Spirit with which it was written, and will answer it in the same spirit of courtesy
and candour.
LETTERS OF JOHN ADAMS AND JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, 1776-1838 249
I was graduated at Harvard University in July 1787. I had already traversed
the Atlantic Ocean four times, three of them in the midst of the American revolu-
tionary War, had travelled over a g^eat part of Europe, and had served the public
in the not altogether irresponsible capacity of Secretary and interpreter to the
mission of the United States to the Empress Catherine of Russia, and afterwards
at the N^otiation of the Treaty of Peace and Independence at Paris in 1783,
at that of the Treaty with Prussia, at the Hague in 1784, and under the Com-
mission of my father. Dr. Franklin and Mr. Jefferson at Paris in 1785. I had
served my father as his private Secretary. I had thus served a practical appren-
ticeship of seven years, to the trade and mystery of American Politics before I
entered the walls of Harvard as a student. My public life began, as it were, with
the Declaration of Independence.
When I took my first degree at Cambridge, the federal Convention which
formed the present Constitution of the United States, were in Session at Phila-
delphia. In September of that year, the Constitution was presented to the People
for their acceptance. My father was then in England. I was reading Law in the
office of Theophilus Parsons at Newbury-Port. In March 1789, the Government
of the Union was organized under the new Constitution. My father was the first
Vice President of the United States. In July 1790 I was admitted to the Bar at
the Court of Common Pleas, in the Counties of Essex and Suffolk and opened an
Attorneys office in Boston.
Precisely at that time the French Revolution was opening upon the World,
in all its grandeur and all its horrors. It came in the form and with the language
of Democracy, In that shape you will excuse me for saying that Democracy
commended herself neither to my reasons nor to my affections.
There is one form of Democracy, in which I am an humble but firm believer,
and that is the democracy of Jesus and his Apostles. The Democracy of the
Sermon on the Mount, of the 12th Chapter of the Epistle to the Romans, of the
13th 14th and 15th Chapters of the first Epistle to the Corinthians. By which I
mean a democracy of duties always correlative to the democracy of rights. I can
trust no democracy not unbedded in a profound sense of moral and religious
obligation. The antient democracies of Athens and Rome therefore delight not
me. As little do I admire the democracies of Thomas Paine, Marat, and Robe-
spierre. Paine was a blaspheming infidel, Marat an atheist, Robespierre a deist
whose God was a political machine, neither of the three was a Christian. The
democracy of them all was a Government for wild beasts and not for men. The
distaste for the democracy of these worthies, formed by an attentive observation
of its results, has in my judgments and feelings never been worn away, nor has
it been purged of its feculent matter in later days by its intermarriage with
Slavery — the forms in which I confess at this very day it meets my vision more
distinctly than in that of the Christian philosophical, humanized democracy, which
you assure me is rising fast in New England, and a mere glance, at which, if I
could discern it, would come over me like enchantment.
My first entry upon the field of Controversy was in opposition to Thomas
Paine's rights of man. Paine was the very Dagon of Democracy and with
Democracy my conflict accordingly was. I never noticed his "Age of Reason,"
250 LETTERS OF JOHN ADAMS AND JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, 1776-1838
nor his letter to Washington, nor his prophesy that in 1794 the British funding
System was in the last twenty years of its existence. But I canvass'd his "Rights
of Man/* when Jefferson proclaimed them correctives to political heresies, when
the Democracy worshiped them as a new Bible, and when the federalists dis-
claimed all community of opinion with me, and vented their malevolence not upon
me, but upon my father by imputing to him my heretical doctrines. I learnt then
a lesson now confirmed by the experience of a long life, that whatever part I was
to perform on the theatre of the world, neither Federalism nor Democracy must
be my prompter. That my destiny throughout life, must be to stand upon my own
feet, or to fall
My next service as a Political Volunteer, was in defence of Washingtons
Administration against Genet's French Democracy for which I received the
honour of having my name placarded upon the main mast of a French Frigate
in Boston harbour, as one of the Aristocrats of Boston. My Sentiments then
happened to fall in with those of the federalists, and I was accordingly numbered
with them. Washington, not by recommendation from them, but of his own
motion sent me in 1794 to Europe, whence I returned in 1801, the first year of the
reign in this land of Democracy and of Jefferson Administration.
I cannot pursue the narrative. But my whole life would present the same
spectacle. I have never been as a partizan either Federalist or Democrat. I
have acted alternately with both parties, and as I might naturally expect, I have
received the favours, and have felt the resentments of both. He who will not be
the Slave of party cannot expect that party should support or spare him.
As to the Divorce of Bank and State, I believe it impractible. The very name
of Divorce is odious to me, as indicating the severance of the dearest and tenderest
of human ties. Applied to the positions between political and monetary power,
it appears to me as absurd, and as mischevious as if you should attempt, by one
general Law, to Divorce every husband in the Union from his wife. The whole
system, to my judgment is Utopian. It begins in discord; it would end in
desolation.
But I do not attach the importance to this subject which it has assumed in the
movements of parties. The Public Lands, the Indians, Slavery, the Northeastern
boundary, Mexico and Texas, are every one of them concerns infinitely transcend-
ing in my judgment, the party question how the Public revenues shall b^ collected,
kept, and expended. There is in this last question no conflict of principles to
contend about. It is all pushpin play, about fire proof vauks and safes, and
legal currency, and gold, and silver, and Treasury rags, when after all, bankruptcy
cannot pay its debts, and after all credit must and will regulate itself.
I am sorry to be obliged thus abruptly to conclude, but am with great respect,
Dear Sir Your friend and Servt.

REPORT OF THE BRITISH BOARD OF TRADE AND PLANTATIONS,
NOVEMBER, 1702.
Printed from a transcript, now in the New York Public Library, probably
made for the Earl of Bute about the middle of the eighteenth century.
To THE Right Honble.
THE Lords Spiritual and
Temporal in Parliament
Assembled.
May it please Your Lordships.
In obedience to your Lordships order of the seventh Instant Requiring us to
lay before your Lordships an account of the State of the Trade of this Kingdome
since the Last session of parliament, We humbly Represent ^ '
That the War against ffrance and Spain being proclaimed alittle before the
End of the Last Session, it Soon made a great alteration in the State and Currant
of Trade and put a Stop to that which was carried on with those Countries and the
mediterranean. And as we had sometime before, in prospect of Such a Breach
directed the several Governors of Her Majesties plantations to send to us a speedy
account of the State of defence of each Government, and of what might be want-
ing to put them in a better posture against an Enemy and haveing accordingly
received such accounts. We did according to our duty Lay the Same before Her
Majestic, with our humble opinion in relation to ships of War, Soldiers, Guns, and
ammunition to be sent from hence, and to the Fortifications there, whereupon
Her Majestic has been pleased to give the necessary Directions, and several Stores
of War have been sent to the plantations and other suteable provisions made,
which has ended very much to the Security and Incouragement of the Trade in
those parts.
That Coll Codrington Governor in Cheif of the Leeward Islands, upon notifi-
cation off [sic] of the War, and Instructions from hence, Haveing possessed him-
self of the French part of the Island of St. Christophers, So that the whole Island
is now brought under Her Majesties Subjection, there does by that means accrue
a very great advantage to our Sugar Trade.
That upon Representations made of the great importance of the Tobacco
Trade from Virginia and Maryland, Her Majestic was pleased to appoint five
men of War, under whose Convoy the Shipping from those provinces consisting
of about 150 Sail, have arrived Safe in England. An[d], as we find by accounts
from Virginia, there were exported from that Province from the loth of Novem-
ber 1701. to the loth of July 1792, 37205 hhds. of Tobacco, being the last Crop:
And from Maryland for the same tyme 32000 hhds. or thereabouts, which exceeds
the Exports of former years.
That the Colonies under Propriety and Charter Governments continueing to
be nurseries of illegall Trade, and guilty of other irregular practices, to the great
prejudice of Her Majesties Revenue and of fair Traders and otherwise ; We have
271
2 72 REPORT OF BRITISH BOARD OF TRADE AND PLANTATIONS, NOV. 1702
from time to time Laid before Her majestie the several Complaints that have been
brought to us relateing thereto, and Represented upon the whole, as the only
means of preventing illegal Trade, and rendering those provinces usefuU to
England, That they may, by the Legislative power of this Kingdome, be brought
under the immediate government of the Crown. And haveing interposed our best
Endeavours with the severall proprietors, We have with those of East and West
Jersey [prevailed] to resigne their pretended right to Government into Her
majesties Hands. And for the better Support of Regular Trade, we have moved
Her Majesty that, untill an act be made for Reuniting those Colonies, security be
given for the Lieutenant Governors of those proprieties that they shal duely
observe the acts of Trade, which has been Complyed with accordingly for the
Lieutenant Governors of Carolina and the Bahama Islands, and we are Expecting
the lyke for Pensylvania.
To which we add, that Coll: Dudley Her Majesties Governor of the Massa-
chusets Bay haveing been Impowered by a Commission from Her Majesty to
Command the militia of Rhode Islands, and the adjacent Country, Did thereupon
Transport himself thither but was Refused to be obeyed by the Council and those
in Government there ; The said Coll : Dudley further Informs us. That he found
the Island in great Disorder and Confusion, as it has long been a receptacle for
Pirates and illegal Traders ; That the Quakers and their f reinds had got the sole
power into their hands, and would admitt none other into any place of Trust ; that
tho there are men of good Estate and abilities in that Colony, They were excluded
from any share of the Government, nor could act to any good purpose; if they
had been admitted dureing the present disorders. To remedy which mischeif as
well in this Island, which is of no smal importance to the English Trade, and
navigation, as in the neighbouring charter Government of Connecticut And to
regulate the generall state of trade in those parts. We can propose no other effectuall
means then that the Legislative power of this Kingdom as has been before men-
tioned, Do bring those and other proprieties and charter governments under an
Immediate dependance on the Crown.
That we have offered our opinion for Establishing a settled Course of Corre-
spondance, by Pacquet Boats frequently to saile for Barbadoes, The Leeward
Islands and Jamaica, from whence opportunities do ordinarly present of sending
to the Continent And that method of Conveyance haveing been undertaken by
Mr. Dammer, and allready begun to be put in practice under his direction. We
humbly Conceive it will not only be a Convenience to merchants and our planta-
tion Trade, but may otherwise, in this time of War, be of great use to the
government.
That it being requisite for the general Securitie and Trade of Her majesties
plantations, and more Especially of those in the Continent of America, that they
should upon occasion assist each other in proportion to their respective abilities:
And a Quota of assistance to be given by Several of them towards the Security
and defence of New Yorke (which lies the most exposed to the ffrench) havding
been directed By his Late Majestie; as we have formerly represented to your
Lordships, We have reneued our directions to the respective Govemours That
they be very punctual in the Execution of those orders.
REPORT OF BRITISH BOARD OF TRADE AND PLANTATIONS, NOV. 1702 273
That in relation to Trade with Foreign nations, we have upon occasion offered
our thoughts upon such Treaties as have been Communicated to us ; In particular
upon the project of a Marine Treaty between England and Sweden, Transmitted
by Mr. Robinson Her majesties minister at Stockholm. We have made several
observations of such heads to be insisted upon as we Conceive might tend to the
advantage of the Trade of England in those parts. We have lykewise by Her
Majesties direction considered the Treaties between the Crown of England and
the States General of the united provinces, with particular regard to what con-
cerns Trade and have offered what appears to us reasonable to be demanded from
them, and Suteable to the Interest of England.
That the Trade and Fishery of Newfound-Land Requireing a constant Care
to prevent the Irregularities that are frequently practised by the Inhabitants or
those that yearly resort thither; To secure their ffishery; And as much
as possible (in this time of War) to annoy the Enemy; We did
accordingly prepare Instructions sent thither this Summer with heads of
Enquiries to be made by him into the State of that Trade, also relateing
to the Soldiers there in Pay, and to the fortifications necessary for the defence
and Securitie of our principle Harbours and further Directed him to Enquire into
the abuses Committed there and not only to regelate the same dureing his stay in
those parts But to report to us at his return what Remedies he Conceives may be
fittly applyed to those Evills, In order to Such further Directions as shall be
necessary against the nixt Season. To all which haveing now Receaved his
answers. We thereby find that the State of that Trade and Fishery has this Last
Season, been as follows. Vizt.

2 74 REPORT OF BRITISH BOARD OF TRADE AND PLANTATIONS, NOV. 1702
And tho it do hereby appear that our Fishery, has not been so considerable this
year as other preceeding years, which must be imputed Cheifly to the Interrup-
tions and difficulties occasioned by the War, and the want of a Vent for our ffish
in the Dominions of Spain and other parts of the mediterreanean, yet the Success
that Her majesties Ships of War have had in takeing and destroying the French
Ships Employed in that Trade has been so great that besydes the present ad-
vantage, we cannot but expect It will very much discourage them and tend to the
Increase and better Improvement of our Trade and Fishery there the next year.
That We have by Her Majesties Command made particular Enquiries into
the State of the Woollen manufacture, as the most considerable Branch of the
Trade of this Kingdome, and have humbly represented the same to her majestie
Together with our observations and proposealls thereupon as followes vizt:
From Michs. 1662. to Michs. 1663. our General
Expts. amounted to 2,022,812
From Michs. 1668. to Michs. 1669. they amounted to 2,063,274
Whereof We Judge that near Two thirds were of Woollen manufacture. And
by the Late accounts of the Inspector Generall of the Customes, Since the Estab-
lishment of that office, we find our Generall Exports.
From Michs. 1697. to Michs. 1698. amotmted to 6,361,105
From Xtmas 1698 to Xtmas 1699 6,788,166
From Xtmas 1699 to Xtmas 1700 7,302,716
And our Exports in Woollen manufactures alone for the same years
Vizt.
From Xtmas 1697 ^o Michs. 1698. amounted to 3,120,615
From Xtmas 1699 to Xtmas 1700 2,989,163
From Xtmas 1700 to Xtmas 1701 3,128,366
The particular Sorts and Quantities whereof we find also by his
accounts, are as follows vizt.

And some smal Quantities of other Sorts of no great value: By which it
appears that there has of Late years been a Considerable Increase in our Exports
of the Woollen manufactures, The value thereof In the year 1701 Exceeding that
of the year 1662, by more then a million.
We are lykewayes Informed by the Turkey Company, That from the End of
the late War to the beginning of the present War, they have Exported more
REPORT OF BRITISH BOARD OF TRADE AND PLANTATIONS, NOV. 1702 275
Draperies then they did for the lyke number of years formerly. But we observe
that the Generall increase of these Exports, have Cheifly consisted in the new
Draperies. Vizt. Stuffs, says, Serges &c. And we do humbly conceive that the
complaints which may have been made by the proprietors of WooU and by the
Cloathiers, of a fall in the pryce of the goods have been occasioned by Several
extraordinary Causes; As the Interruption that Trade in General has met with
by War The Improvements of Land in England: And the great additions that
have been made to our Stock of Wooll by Importations from Ireland, which to-
gether have sunk the pryce of wooll and of other Woollen goods.
The Importations of Wooll from Ireland In the year 1693. 1694. and 1695
have amounted to 140000 Stone. But in the years 1699. 1700 and 1701 to 936808
Stone
The Lands in England have been very much Improved since the year 1670,
By clover and other grass-seeds. By which they feed a greater number of Sheep
than formerly and our Stock of Wooll is thereby augmented.
We have allso of late years Increased our manufacture of Superfine Cloths
(made of Spanish Wooll only) which have occasioned for some years past a
greater importation of Spanish Wooll then heretofore.
We do lykewise find that the Woollen manufactures in Ireland are of late years
Increased. And that in diverse forreign Countries, as in France, Holland,
fflanders, Spain, Portugal, Sweden, Silesia, Lunnenborough, and other parts of
Germany, new manufactures have been Sett up, which they take to be another
reason why our Trade in Woollen goods has not been further Enlarged.
We also observe. That of later years, great numbers of people are Enticed over
to Her Majesties northern colonies in America, and particularly to those tmder
propriety and charter governments, which persons whyle they were in England
Did contribute to the Consumption of our Woollen manufacture. But being
Entertained there Do with the rest of the Inhabitants cloth themselves, children
and Servants with the Woollen manufacture of the product of those Countries.
And not only so, but diverse manufacturers & [erasure] also are Carried over,
upon Specious pretences of a more easy Livelyhood in those parts, and in this
maner those proprieties do not only Cloth themselves with Woollen goods but
furnish the same Commodity to the more southern plantations notwithstanding
the prohibition in the act of the loth and nth of his Late majestie. And by their
application to this sort of trade. Instead of Confineing themselves to the produc-
tion of Such Commodities as are aggreeable to the true design and Intention of
the Settlements, They have Improved their Skill to such a degree that we have
been particularly informed by persons Imployed by us to make Enquiries that as
good Druggets are made in those Countries as any in England and Sold there
for ffour Shillings and Six pence per yard, That Countrey money. To which we
allso crave leave to add. That those plantations haveing several Dyeing Wares
either of their own product, or in their nighbourhood much cheaper then the Same
can be procured in England, They are able to affoord those manufactures much
cheaper then they can be sent thither from hence.
We think our selves further oblidged to take notice, That the Importation from
India into this Kingdom of those sort of manufactured goods proper for the
2 76 REPORT OF BRITISH BOARD OF TRADE AND PLANTATIONS, NOV. 1702
same uses as our stuffs, Serges, Says, Druggets &c. Haveing ver>' much In-
creased of late years, and the same not being brought over in return of our
Woollen manufactures exported, But purchased Cheifly by Bullion Carryed
thither. They do tend to obstruct The Consumption of our Woollen manufactures
made at home.
It is Lykewise observable that since the act which prohibits the wearing of
several Sorts of East India goods; great Quantities thereof (as appears by the
Entries of the Customhouse) are now Shipt off to Her majesties Colonies in the
West Indies ; By which and the manufacture of Wooll Carried on in those parts,
the Consumption of these goods usually Sent thither is greatly obstructed, and the
Intended Effect of that act defeated thereby.
We are Informed by Several merchants Concerned in the Woollen Trade, That
the prohibiting of painted Calicoes from India to be Consumed in England has
not had the desired Success: For tho it was hoped that this prohibition would
have discouraged the Consumption of those goods, We find that the alloweing
Calicoes unstained to be brought in has occasioned Such ane Increase of the print-
ing and staining Calicoes here, and the printers and painters have brought that
art to such perfection, that it is more prejudiciall to us, than it was before the
passing that act, For whereas then the Calicoes painted in India, were most
[sic. worn?] by the better sort of people whilst the poor continued to wear and use
our Woollen goods. The Calicoes now painted in England are So very cheap and
So much in fashion that persons of all Qualities and degrees cloth themselves and
furnish their houses in a great measure with them.
The Turkey Company have allso Continued their Complaints to us. That
their Trade is obstructed by the East India Company, who do not send in India
those Draperies, which they Export from hence, But send them to Ispahan, and
from thence to Tauris, and other northern parts of persia, which is a mischeif not
to be prevented otherwayes than by the East India Company's being Enjoyned to
Send such Woollen goods as they Cannot sell in India, to China, Japan, and other
Eastern Countries, where there Vent may not be ane obstruction to the Turkey
Company's Trade, which we Conceive was intended by the preamble of their
Qiarter, as we humbly represented to his late majestic, by our report Dated the
19th of January 169%.
The Said Turkey Company haveing further acquainted us with the difficulties
they Lye under to carry on their Trade in this time of war, and thereupon desired
that a Convoy may be granted them for the Ships they might Speedily Send out^
we have Laid that matter before Her majesty for Her Royal determination.
We further observe, that the nature of Trade is such, that it depends upon the
mutuall Conveniency which every nation finds in the Barter and Exchange of the
Commodities of their own growth for those of the growth of other Countries, ac-
cording to which Rule it is apparent that the Consumption of the English Woollen
goods abroad particularly in Turkey and Italy, is supported by our takeing of
the Rare Silks of those Countries, And we are therefore humbly of opinion that
the importation of Rare Silk in such quantities as they are returned for our
woollen goods ought not to be discouraged, As well because the vent of our goods
in those parts is Carryed on thereby. As allso that a great number of Hef
REPORT OF BRITISH BOARD OF TRADE AND PLANTATIONS, NOV. 1702 277
majesties Subjects are Supported by manufactureing those Silks here and the
nation Supplyed with wrought Silks at the Cheapest Rates.
Upon discourse with persons most Knoweing in the winding and makeing
up of our wooU It appears that the cloathers Trade may be further Improved, if
the wooll were more carefully and faithfully wound up in the ffleece (according
to the Several acts of parliament) without Loose locks Hair & Dirt to the great
prejudice of the clothiers who buy the same, which ill practise we find has much
Increased of late.
The Deceipt used by those who ffabrick and finish our cloaths, in the Stretch-
ing and ill makeing them, as well as in the giveing them false lengths and
Breadths which abuses were designed to be prevented by the Aulnage duty. We
conceive to be other obstructions to our Woollen manufacture
And in relation to the better Improvement of our Trade in Woollen goods,
We are humbly of opinion that the high duties Laid there upon Dyeing Wares,
Hinder the Dyeing and finishing of those goods here. By which the Dyers pressers
and other Traders are much prejudiced, Great quantities of our Woollen goods,
are sent out wh)rte and Dyed in Holland, Hamburgh and other parts.
The Customes which are Drawen back upon the exportations of our Dyeing
wares Rendering those Wares so cheap to foreigners as to affoord them the
means of Dyeing our Woollen goods abroad cheaper then Can be done in Eng-
land ; and consequently give them a greater advantage in carrying out Such goods
whyte, then after being Dyed & finisht.
As to the particular Improvement of the Exportation of the woollen manufac-
ture, great care has been taken for some years past in those countries (Vizt. Kent
and Sussex.) where the running of Wooll has been chiefly carried on. New officers
were appointed in the year 1697 to prevent the same, And the management of
that Service was committed to Mr. Hendry Baker, The Commissioners of Her
Majesties Customes were ordered to give especial Directions to their Several
under officers on the Coasts of those Countries to be aiding to him, he has lykewise
from time to time made his application to this Board, and has received our best
assistances, and such has been the success of the methods taken for the prevention
of this evill, by putting the Laws in execution against such offenders, and by the
Impeachment in parliament of the French Smugglers (whose Trade was carryed
on by these illegall practices and correspondences) That the several convictions
appear to amount to no less then the sum 68249 pounds, and by these methods and
prosecutions, this unlawfull trade is allmost destroyed in those countries. But
whereas the lyke abuses are carryed on and will probably increase in other
maritime Countries, unless the lyke care be taken to prevent it; And whereas
several of those unlawfull Traders who have been disturbed in the Counties of
Kent and Sussex before mentioned have betaken themselves to other parts upon
the Coasts, We humbly propose it as expedient that a Guard of Civil officers under
a regular Establishment, and with proper Instructions, be lykewise appointed in
such other maritime Counties of this Kingdom where these ill Courses shall
appear to be Carryed on. And particularly in the northern Counties adjacent to
Scotland ; which Gaurd we judge will be able to bear their own charge with con-

siderable advantage to Her Maties revenue and may procure the great benefit
aimed at of keeping our Wooll at home.
Upon this head we have only to add, that every pound of Wooll thus Exported
has in the return usually produced above Ten times the value of its prime Cost
here, And we conceive that the Temptation to such Excessive profit can only be
opposed by an extraordinary care, and that the most vigorous puting the Laus
against those abuses in execution, without favour or remission, together with the
assistance of the officers aforementioned, under a strict Discipline ; will prove the
most effectuall means of Cureing this Evill.
All which nevertheless is most humbly Submitted

CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN THE DUKE OF NEWCASTLE, AND
ADMIRAL LESTOCK AND GENERAL ST. CLAIR, RELATING
TO THE EXPEDITION AGAINST L'ORIENT IN 1746.
Selections from contemporary transcripts in the New York Public Library.
Extract of a Letter from Charles Knowles Esqr. Governor of Louisbourg
TO Charles Corbet Esqr. Secretary of the Admiralty.
July sth 1746
It was very lucky no more Troops came with me, than the three Companies
of Framptons Regiment, as it was near three weeks before we cou'd land them,
most of the houses in Town haveing been puU'd down and burnt by the New
England Troops last Winter, and not one of those left standing, but what wanted
repairs. I am sorry to tell their Lordships, that in general it is the most miserable
ruinous place I ever beheld.
The Barracks were also supply'd by Contract so as an entire Set of Bedding
and Barrack Utensils will be necessary for such a number of Troops as His
Majesty may think proper to keep here, one of the Ships being lost, which had
the greatest part of the bedding on board, and that which arriv'd being damaged
and spoilt.
There are no Windmills or Watermills in or about the place, nor any Hand-
mills in Store.
The French Staff officers of the Garrison, and the Civil Branch of their
ordnance had yearly allowance for Lodgeings according to their Rank and Offices ;
but so many Houses being pull'd down, there will now want proper Lodgeings
to be built for our Staff officers.
The French Garrison of this place consisted of about 6 or 700 men ; the rest
were Inhabitants who mustered for Duty about 1400 men, besides those they might
call in from the countrey ; These lodg'd in town either in their own Houses, or in
Quarters ; The Regular Troops were lodg'd in the Citadel Barracks. The Garri-
son now here consists of about 2500 men; and upon the best calculation all the
Barracks and Houses, which are left standing will not conveniently lodge 18 or
1900 men ; so that there is a necessity of erecting the propos'd Barracks as fast as
possible, as well for the Conveniency of the Troops here at present (who are ex-
cessively crowded) as for the others, who are expected from England, and to clear
the Hospital which has been turned into a Barrack.
The Town in general has been badly built, and was in a most ruinous Condi-
tion ; and by the Garrisons wanting Fewel last Year a great number of Houses and
Inclosures were puU'd down; and those left standing, we are not only oblig'd to
repair, but half build up to make quarters for lodgeing the officers and Soldiers,
and all the Work-men we can possibly get, both from the Regiments here and
from New England, are not sufficient to carry on the present immediate repairs.

General St. Clair's Letter to the Duke of New Castle.
On board the Superbe^
August 13TH, 1746
My Lord,
Since I had last the Honour to write to your Grace, Mr. Lestock has been so
oblidgeing as to communicate to me, the Extract of a Letter dated the Sth of July,
from Commodore Knowles to the Board of Admiralty, by which I learn the
ruinous Condition of the Town of Louisbourg, and the difficulties, which the
Troops will probably labour under, with regard to Lodgeings, Fireing, and fresh
provisions on their Arrival there. This My Lord, I reckon was not imagin'd by
the Administration when the Instructions were last drawn, directing me to sail
first to Louisbourg, and there to concert the proper Measures for the best disposi-
tion of Winter quarters for the troops entrusted to my Command. Nor could it
at that time be foreseen, that we should unhappily meet with these contrary Winds,
which have so long detained us here. But now when the Condition of the Town of
Louisbourg is throughly known, and the Season is so far advanc'd that there
is a possibility of the setting in of the North West wind, by the time that we
arrive in that North Latitude, I flatter myself you will easily pardon my takeing
the liberty of reminding your Grace, that there will be a good deal of time un-
necessarily consumed in attempting to sail to Louisbourg, which, 'tis much doubted
if we can reach with the whole Fleet of Transports, and where, if we arrive,
'twill be impossible to have any part of the Forces accomodated with Winter
quarters: Since we must afterwards proceed fof that purpose to some other of
His Majestie's Colonies in North America. This My Lord, I have ventur'd to
suggest to your Grace presumeing, that tis not improbable His Majesty may be
pleas'd to make some Alterations, in the Admirals Instructions and mine, and
order us to sail directly to New England, New York or some other of the more
Southern Colonies, by which means, the passage for the Troops, may be render'd
more safe and easy and all the other Inconveniences, apprehended from proceed-
ing to Louisbourg will be avoided ; And the Army kept in such a good Condition
as to be fit to execute any plan of Military operation, which His Majesty may be
pleas'd to send us from Brittain or which may be resolv'd on by the Council,
appointed by the Instructions; either of which shall be conducted, in the most
careful and expeditious manner possible by him who has the Honour to be &ca.

The Duke of Newcastle's joint Letter to Admiral Lestock and Gen'l
St. Clair in answer to their joint Letter of August 230.
Whitehall August 26th 1746
Gentlemen
I received late on Saturday night your Letter of that Date and laid it before
the King
L'ORIENT EXPEDITION, 1746 305
His Majesty finding by your former letters that it would be impracticable for
you to proceed this Season with the Squadron and Troops under your Command
further than Boston, and being desirous that they shou'd be employ'd at present,
in such manner as should be most for His Majesty's Service, and consistent with
The King's intention of sending them to North-America, as early in the Spring,
as the navigation, in those Seas will permit. The King has commanded me to
acquaint you with his Pleasure, that you shou'd forthwith sail with all the Ships
and Transports that are design'd for North America, either to Port L'Orient, or
to Rochefort, or to Rochelle, and endeavour to make Yourselves Masters of such
of them, as You shall think it most adviseable to attempt, and if you should succeed
in getting possession of any of those places. You will make such further Motions
in the Countrey, and undertake such operations as you shall think most likely to
alarm and annoy the French, and thereby procure a Diversion in Flanders, which
is one great End of the Expedition.
And if you shall have Information, that any number of Protestants in those
parts are disposed to take up arms, and put themselves under your protection,
You are to give them whatever assistance shall be in your Power
If upon your arrival, at Port L'Orient, Rochfort or Rochelle, you should find
that those places are too strong to be attempted with any probability of Success,
it is then His Majesty's pleasure that you shou'd proceed to any other Port or
Place on the Western Coast of France, where you may have Information, or shall
yourselves be of opinion that it may be practicable to make an attempt with any
probability of Success and where the Navigation may not be too hazardous for
the Ships and Transports ; and you are there to land the Troops, lay the Countrey
under Contribution, and annoy the Enemy in the best Manner you are able, in
order to procure the Diversion above mention'd
If it should please God to grant you such Success, that you should be able to
establish yourselves in any part of the Coast His Majesty will then order you a
further Reinforcement of Troops to be forthwith sent from hence.
As the view and Design in this Expedition, is to procure if possible a Diversion
in Flanders, from the Danger the French may apprehend for that part of their
Coast, when they see such a considerable number of Ships and Troops upon it.
His Majesty leaves it to you to act in such manner as you shall think the most
proper for that Purpose, provided those places mention'd in the former part of this
Letter are found too strong to be attack'd.
I mention'd to you in my former Letter, the going up the River Bourdeaux, in
order to make an Attempt there : His Majesty is inclin'd to think, that such a force
of Ships and Troops, with such ordnance Stores must create great Alarm in
France, and consequently oblidge them to send a considerable force to oppose them.
If you should find it practicable to burn any of The French Men of War or
Merchant Ships in any of their ports. His Majesty doubts' not but you will in-
deavour to do it.
It is His Majesty's pleasure, that you shou'd sail as soon as ever the Wind is
fair, the Success of such an expedition depending entirely upon the Secrecy and
Suprise of it ; And it is The Kings positive Command, that you shou'd not impart
it to any one person, one moment sooner than is absolutely necessary for the
Execution of it.
306 UORIENT EXPEDITION, 1746
If after your arrival upon the Western Coast of France, and the best Intelli-
gence you can get of the Situation and Strength of the Ports and Places there, you
shou'd find it impracticable to make use of the Forces under your Command, on
any part of that Coast, so as to answer the end and view of sending you thither,
It is then His Majesty's pleasure, that the Transports with all the Troops, shou'd
proceed under a proper Convoy to Cork and Kinsale, and that the Troops shou'd
be disembark'd there and remain till the Season of the Year shall make it practic-
able to send them to North America ; And You Admiral Lestock are in that Case
to send a proper Convoy with the Transports to Cork and Kinsale, and to return
yourself with the Squadron to Spithead.
You Admiral Lestock will endeavour to provide yourself with such Pilots as
you may want, in the most Secret manner possible.
His Majesty will expect to have an Account of your Proceedings, by every
occasion that offers ; and I hope soon to hear, that you are sail'd on your Expedi-
tion, in which I heartily wish you good Success, And am
Gentlemen, etc.

To Adm'l Lestock and Lt. Genl. St. Clair.
Admiral Lestock's and General St. Clair's joint Letter to the Duke of
Newcastle in answer to His Grace's of Septemb. the iith.
On board the Princessa
in Plymouth Sound Septr. isth 1746
My Lord
We were Honour'd with His Majesty's Commands, by Your Grace's Letter of
the nth Inst., which we receiv'd late on Saturday night.
Since our last to Your Grace of the 9th, the Wind has been contrary, with a
great Sea and a thick Fog, till Saturday morning when the Admiral made the
Signal to unmoor, and accordingly employ'd all the boats in the Squadron with a
Lieut, in each, and two Captains to superintend the whole in order to get the
Transports and Storeships out from Cat Water, where they had shelter'd them-
selves from the late bad weather, since which there has not been an opportunity
to get any of them out
And we have the pleasure to assure Your Grace, that by the extraordinar>'
dilligence and great fatigue all day and night in the officers and Men, sent on
this important Duty the Transports and Storeships were all got out into the Sound
ready for sailing, and had it not been calm yesterday forenoon, till the Sea breeze
came in at South west, which continued all day, whereby we were prevented from
sailing, we shou'd enjoy'd a day sooner the infinite Satisfaction of dispatching
Your Graces Messenger with the news that we were put to Sea, in order to pro-
ceed in our Design on Port L'orient, pursuant to the Kings last Orders as the most
L'ORIENT EXPEDITION, 1746 ,^ 307
adviseable, for answering the great end of the expedition, and His Majesty's
general view of sending us thither
That Your Grace may be fully satisfied that there has not been a moments
time lost, in doing our utmost to pursue the King's Commands, and somewhat
acquainted with the Harbour of Cat Water, and the great difficulty of getting out
from thence, so great a number of Transports and Storeships, as those tack'd to
the present expedition : Admiral Lestock begs leave to assure Your Grace, tha^
Admiral Medley about a twelvemonth ago, when he sail'd from this place for thr
Mediterranean, was eight days in geting the Trade tmder his Convoy out of the
Catwater into the Sound ; therefore we think it extremely fortunate That our en-
deavours for His Majesty's Service, have been attended with such Success in this
Point ; and are not only persuaded, that Your Grace will be pleased to concur with
us in the same opinion, but that we have not lost any opporttmity whereby it was
possible for the Squadron and Transports, to proceed farther than this Port
Capt. Wickham of the Panther, haveing been appointed by the Lords of the
Admiralty to convey from this Port the two Battalions of Guards and Majr.
Genl. Huske's Regiment of Foot. The admiral in obedience to His Majesty's
Commands by Your Grace's letter of the 3d Inst, has given him orders to proceed
off of Ushant, and then to open a sealed pacquet containing Directions, where
he shou'd immediately proceed in order to join us. A Duplicate of which orders
is left in the hands of the Commissioner at this Port, directed for the Command-
ing officer of His Majesty's Ships, that are to convey those troops, lest Capt.
Wickham shou'd be countermanded. So that unless the seal'd orders from the
Lords of the Admiralty, which have been sent to Capt. Wickham, to be open'd
off of Ushant should clash with the Admirals orders and be contradictory to them
there can be no Mistake. And lest they shou'd, or to prevent any possibility of a
mistake, we submit it to Your Grace, whether Capt. Wickham shou'd not be
directed, to follow the orders the Admiral has given him ; A duplicate of which is
left with the Commissioner.
By Your Grace's letter of the 23d past, His Majesty's pleasure is, that if after
our arrival upon the Western Coast of France, and the best Intelligence we can
get of the Situation and Strength of the Ports and places there, we shou'd find
it impracticable to make use of the force under our Command on any part of that
Coast, so as to answer the end and view of sending us thither that then the
Transports with all the Troops shou'd proceed under a proper Convoy to Cork
and Kinsale, and that the Troops shou'd be disembark'd there and remain till the
Season of the Year shall make it practicable to send them to North America.
But as two Battallions of Foot Guards and Majr. General Huske's Regm't of Foot,
have been since order'd to proceed to join us ; which if they do, we humbly pre-
sume, in case, we shou'd not be able to establish ourselves on any part of the
Western Coast of France, That by those Instructions, which say all the Troops,
that nevertheless it is not His Majesty's Intention, that those Troops shou'd also
be carried to Cork or Kinsale. But Your Grace will, as soon as it is proper com-
municate to us the Kings orders, with regard to their being dispos'd of.
The Admiral has thought proper to stop every vessel from going to Sea, by
which the Enemy might gain any Intelligence of our sailing, and particularly
308 L'ORIENT EXPEDITION, 1746
desir'd the Commanding officer of the Garrison at Plymouth to stop a Dutch Gal-
liot, bound to Bourdeaux, for forty eight hours after we are sail'd, which Caution
he hopes will be graciously approved of by His Majesty.
Tho' the weather has hitherto hinder'd us, yet now it is chang'd, we hope it
will prove a lasting fair Season, that we may proceed, to do the best, for the
Success and honour of His Majesty's Arms, in the attempts we are order'd to
make ; And that our Endeavoiu*s, my Lord, where it is thought fit to employ us at
this Time, and in the manner pointed out to us, may be to the satisfaction of our
King and Countrey, is the sincerest wish, and the most fervent prayer, we can
possibly make.
The Admiral thinks it proper to send Your Grace the Coppy of a Letter which
he had occasion to write to the Secretary of tlie Admiralty, and as he has been
oblig'd to man the Transports from the Squadron, that have lost their men by
Death, Sickness, or Desertion, that otherwise cou'd not have proceeded with him
to Sea: He hopes Your Grace, will take every part of his letter into Considera-
tion, particularly the necessity he may be under of landing the Marines, whereby
the Squadron will be Six hundred men short of Compliment, besides what it is
now, by manning the Transports, and the Ships haveing never been completed to
their full Complements, and under these Circumstances, and with the difficulties
he may labour under, from the Season of the Year, and the Want of good Pilots,
he beseeches Your Grace to intercede with His Majesty, for an order to the Lords
of the Admiralty to send him as many Seamen, by the Ships of war, that are to
convoy the Guards, and Ma jr. General Huske's Regimt. of Foot as May be neces-
sary to prevent His Majestys Ships and Transports being expos'd in a hazardous
Navigation, especially in stormy weather.
We have the Honour to be My Lord, etc.,
R. Lestock I. St. glair

To His Grace The Duke of Newcastle.
A Joint Letter of Admll. Lestock's and Lieut. Genll. St. Clair's to His
Grace The Duke of Newcastle. Dated on Board the Princessa at Sea
21 October, 1746. About 30 leagues S. W. off Ushant:
My Lord,
Our endeavours and application to carry the Kings Views into execution by
a faithful discharge of our Duty, on Board and ashore, and the bad weather which
happened to keep us from meeting at a seasonable time, together with not being
L'ORIENT EXPEDITION, 1746 3O9
able to spare a Ship from the Squadron, have made it impossible to send to your
Grace sooner, an account of our proceedings.
Sept. i8th After a favourable passage of three days, on the i8th of
September in the evening, we made the Isle of Groa, within two leagues of Port
Louis, where we were Joined by Commodore Cotes, who, having been dispatched
before us, to reconnoitre and survey the Coast, had sounded it, and fixed on a
proper place for landing the Troops about ten Miles from L'Orient.
Upon the discovery of our fleet, Alarm Guns were fired from the Isle of Groa,
and next day, signal Guns were fired, Flags displayed, and during the night, Fires
were lighted all along the Coast.
19th It was late in the evening before we fetched our Anchoring place,
and the General could get on board the Princessa, to concert with the Admiral
such a plan of operation, as might best answer the end of the Expedition, without
improperly hazarding the Ships or Troops.
The Road in which we had Anchored as nearest to L'Orient, where Troops
could possibly be landed either with safety or expedition, and have the requisite
assistance given them, being open to the sea, between W. N. W. and South, by
which Southerly and Westerly Winds must occasion a very great Sea, this, with
the information given by Mr. Cotes, and all the Knowledge that we had been able
to gather from the several accounts of our Pilots, and some prisoners that had
been taken, left us no room to doubt, that it must be extremely dangerous for a
Fleet to continue any time at Anchor in so open a Road, as that in which we were
and must be acting contrary to the Kings Commands, signified to us, by your
Grace and often repeated in our Instructions, by which the Admiral is expressly
forbid to undertake any operation where the Navigation is so hazardous, as to
expose the Ships and Transports
Under this Restriction, My Lord, in an open Road, and upon a dangerous
Coast, greatly exposed to S. W. Winds where artillery stores, and Supplies of
every Kind must be daily landed for the use of the Army, according to the
Exigency of the service, and where this could not possibly be done, but in fair
weather we durst not attempt an Enterprise, where the Issue of it was not ex-
pected to be short and precipitate.
Nevertheless our zeal to enter as far as we could into the Views of his Ma-
jesty, and the flattering hopes of the greatest advantages to the King, and his
allies, from an attempt on L'Orient prevailed on us to determine to land the
Troops with all possible expedition, to reconnoitre L'Orient, and if an Attempt
could be made on it, with any probability of success, and a short time would de-
termine the Issue, in the opinion of the Engineers, to pursue that great point, by
a most punctual and vigilant execution, of what might best and soonest con-
tribute to the speedy success of that Enterprize, But whether it was thought
adviseable to attempt it or not, to preserve the communication between the Fleet
and Army, and to prevent the total destruction of both, was above all to be con-
sidered, and therefore we resolved, that, as soon as possible the Army should
March by the passes at Panteros and Henebon, about ten leagues to Quiberon
Bay, where the Fleet could safely ride at Anchor, and be sheltered every way
from all Winds and Stormy Weather, and where the Troops might carry the
3IO L'ORIENT EXPEDITION, 1746
Alarm into some other parts of the Province of Brittainy more particularly with
so great a Reinforcement as that of two Battalions of Guards and a Regiment of
Foot, or make such farther motions as should be thought most likely to alarm
and annoy the French, and thereby procure a Diversion in Flanders, and when
the wished for Flanders detachment drew near they might, from the advantageous
situation of that Post, defend themselves against a great superiority or Reimbark
with all imaginable safety ease and dispatch.
This, My Lord, being of the greatest importance for the preservation of the
Squadron, Troops, and Transports, we were confinVl within this Plan ; and it was
agreed, that whatever Artillery were wanted to make the Attempt on L'Orient, if
Horses could not be got to draw them thither. Seamen should do it, but upon the
Armys Marching from tlience into the Neighbourhood of Quiberon Bay, as it
was dangerous to spare so great a number of Seamen from Navigating the Ships
(besides the Marines which were Six Hundred) as were necessar>' for drawing
the Iron Cannon so great a distance, as where the squadron was to come, in that
case it was thought best to spike them or knock them of their Trunnions
Accordingly the proper measures for the Disembarkation were concerted, to
facilitate which the Transports were ordered close in Shore, and his Majesty's
Sloops, Bomb Vessel and Armed Tenders were ordered to go in next morning
as near the Shore as possible to cover the landing: but on the 20th early in the
morning there appeared on the shore, about three Thousand Armed Militia and
some Cavalry to oppose our disembarking, the Admiral thought proper to add
three forty Gun ships with Commodore Cotes, to command the whole to what he
had already order'd to cover the landing
Every thing being thus disposed, and the General observing that the Militia
were Assembled behind the Beach, where they expected we were to Land. He
made the Signal for the Boats to bear away to another Beach equally commodi-
ous, where he and two of the Brigadiers, with about Six hundred Men landed
without opposition ; He immediately detached a Subaltern and thirty Men of the
Royal to take possession of two pieces of Brass Cannon which were placed on a
point near our landing place, and which the Royal George Cutter by her fire drove
the Enemy from, and then he pursued the flying Militia about two Miles into
the Country; being there Joined by more of the Troops, which in the Interim
had been Landed.
Brigadier Offarrel, with that whole Corps amounting to about a Thousand
Men, was ordered to proceed, to the Village of Guidel, then in sight, there to
remain till further orders.
The General returned to the Beach to Assemble the rest of the Troops as they
came on shore.
The disembarkation was continued during the night and finished before day.
2 1 St After leaving the Body of Marines to Guard the Field Artiller\',
which were to be landed bv the Seamen, the General marched bv break of dav
and join'd Brigadier ( )'ffarcl at seven in the morning, who informed him that the
Corps under his Command had been a good deal annoyed, the night before by
parties of the Militia, sculking behind hedges and Thicketts; when Lieutenant
Colonel Erskine and some few of the Men were wounded ; and this could not be
rORIENT EXPEDITION, 1746 3 i I
prevented as the Roads were extremely narrow, and the Country one of the
closest that can possibly be imagined.
Being informed by a lame Curate, the only person remaining in the Village,
that about a League from thence, there were two Roads, leading to L'Orient;
one by Ploemeur ; and the other, the Shorter of the two by the great Road from
Quimparley.
After leaving a detachment of Sixty Men at Guidel to keep that post, and
to take care of the Sick and wounded, it was resolved to March in two Columns
to L'Orient; Brigadier 0*ffarrel with the Battalions of Harrison, Frampton,
and Richbell by the Shorter Road; the General with the Battalions of Royal,
Bragg and Lord John Murray, by Ploemeur, where he arrived without opposi-
tion and proceeded about five in the evening, to a Windmill within Cannon
shott of the Town
The Engineers were immediately sent to Reconnoitre the Place, and on
their return they reported that the Town was only defended by a thin wall,
with loopholes in it, and w^ithout a Fosse; and from the place they had pitched
upon for a Battery, they could either make a Breach or lay the Town in Ashes
in Twenty four hours.
Brigadier 0*ffarel came up about seven at night, and acquainted the General
that he had been attacked on his March by a Body, consisting partly of Militia
and partly of Regular Troops; that on receiving their fire a part of the Regi-
ments of Frampton and Richbell had fallen into disorder; Upwards of Twenty
wounded Men returned to the Village of Guidel.
The Troops were this night Canton'd in the Xeighbourhood and had orders
to assemble next morning at the Windmill by Break of day.
Lieutenant Osborne with seventy Quarter Gunners, including a Gunners
Mate from each Ship was sent ashore by the Admiral to put himself under the
Command of the General for the service of the Field Artillery.
The Enemy having fired from a Battery of one Gun, which they had Erected
on an Eminence to the westward of Quimparley River, in order to annoy the
Transports and Boats going inshore, and about Five hundred Men appearing to
be employed in Entrenching themselves behind a Craggy point. Contiguous to
the River, the Boats of the Squadron with about one hundred and Sixty
Armed Seamen, under the Command of Captain Masterson were sent to dis-
lodge them.
They landed without opposition. Marched up the Clift, where only one man
abreast could go. and turn'd the Gun which had been abandoned on their
landing, against the Runaways, who appeared in Considerable Bodies at a great
distance.
After the Trunnions of the Gun were knocked off, and it was with the
Carriage thrown down the Clift, Captain Masterson went up the River
Quimparley and burnt several Vessels, near to the Village of that name, and
brought others down the River which were loaded with grain, and which
afterwards were of great use for Reimbarking and Landing the Troops.
The Exeter, Pool, Tavistock Sloop and Royal George Cutter, were sent
under the Command of Captain Lake, to Reconnoitre and Survey Quiberon
3 1 2 L'ORIENT EXPEDITION, 1746
Bay, and to Cruize between the Cardinals and Bell Isle; an advantageous
situation for intercepting the Enemy's Trade and gaining intelligence of their
motions, and preventing any Embarkation of Troops going from the Island to
the Main.
The York, Saphire, and Fly Sloop in like manner were sent under the
Command of Captain Nucella, to cruize between the Glenans and the Isle of
Groa; as well to look out for the expected Reinforcement of Foot Guards and
Huske's Regiment of Foot, as for intercepting the Enemy's Trade; particu-
larly that, bound to Port Louis, and getting all possible information with re-
spect to the Enemy's motions by Sea, or any measures they might possibly
be takeing to disconcert our Attempt on L'Orient.
22. This morning the Troops being Assembled, the General, accom-
panied by Mr. Armstrong the Director General, and Captain Watson the Engi-
neer, went to Reconnoitre the Place, and in consequence of the Assurances
given him the Night before, and now repeated, he sent a Letter by an Officer to
summon the Town to Surrender.
After this, the General set out for the Fleet with Brigadier O'flFarrel, the
Director General, and Engineer Watson, and finding Captain Chalmers on the
Beach, he carried him on board the Admiral, where a Council of War was held.
Consisting of the Admiral, General, Commodore Cotes and Brigadier O'flfarel.
The Engineers and Captain of the Artillery being called in, were Interrogated
by the Council what was their opinion of the strength of the Town.
The Director General Armstrong and Captain Watson, Answer'd, That
it was a place of no strength, having only for its defence, a thin Upright Wall,
with Loopholes in it, without a Fosse.
Being asked, if they thought it practicable either to Bum the Town or make
a Breach in the Wall and what Artillery would be wanted, and what time re-
quired to perform these Services.
Their Answer, was. That with two Twelve pounders and a Ten inch
Mortar, planted on the spot they had pitched on, for Erecting a Battery,
they engaged, either to make a proper breach in the Wall or with Carcasses,
Bombs, and Red hot Balls, destroy the Town, by laying it in Ashes in Twenty
four hours.
Captain Chalmers, the Captain of the Artillery who had not then seen
the Town, was of the same opinion, provided the Battery was within the
proper distance.
Upon this the Council of War unanimously agreed the Attempt should be
made; and Commodore Cotes was ordered by the Admiral, to land the Artillery
and every thing demanded by the Engineers with all possible Expedition, in order
to their being drawn to the Camp next day by Seamen.
After giving Directions to Colonel Holmes to leave an Hundred Marines
as a Guard on the Beach, and to proceed with the rest of that Corps, and three,
Three pounders, to the Army; the General return'd with Brigadier O'flfarel,
and the Engineers to Ploemeur; where he learned from the Officer, return'd
from L'Orient, that Deputies from the Town would meet him next morning at
the Windmill.
L'ORIENT EXPEDITION, 1746 , 313
A Lieutenant from each Ship in the Squadron with a number of men were
employed during the Night on Board the Ordnance Transports, to come at the
Cannon Mortar, and Stores, required by the Engineers, and at Break of day
above Two hundred fresh men with proper Officers under the direction of the
Commodore, were employed in Landing the Cannon and Stores, and getting
them up an Hill in readiness for their being drawn to the Camp by a greater
number of Seamen which had been ordered for that purpose.
23d This day the Fauxbourgs of the Town were burnt by the Garrison.
Early in the morning, Information, being brought that the Post at Guidel
was Attacked, Three Companies of Grenadiers were detach'd to relieve them,
and to carry the Party with the Sick and wounded to the Seashore. That Post
being no longer necessary to keep open our communication with the Fleet.
Three Deputies of whom one from the Govemour, one from the Town, and
one from the East India Company were brought at the hour appointed, to the
General, who receiv'd them at the head of the Army, as they represented that each
was sent to treat of particular Conditions with regard to their own Corps, The
General made answer, that he could have no Transaction with any but the Officer
Commanding in the place for his most Christian Majesty, and would therefore,
only receive the Paper presented by the Military Deputy, of which the following
is the copy.
Articles proposes de la part des troupes de sa Majeste tres Chretienne
actuellement a TOrient tant troupes reglees que Troupes Gardes Cotes
et Milices Bourgeoises.
1. II sera accorde aux dittes troupes la liberte de se Retirer ou bon leur
semblera par le chemin qui leur sera le plus convenable. Et a cet eflFet, il leur
sera delivre des passeports de seurete pour la duree quatre Jours en cas de
recontre de Troupes de sa Majeste Britannique.
2. Les Troupes sortiront de la Ville de L'Orient, avec Armes, Chevaux,

ou en fin ou bon leur semblera avec la meme seurete.
The General finding these terms unreasonable and still depending on the As-
surances, given him by the Engineers, gave for answer, that he would Accept of
no other Terms, but surrendering the Town, to the discretion of The King of
great Brittain, his Master ; The Deputy complain'd the Terms were so hard, that
he had no power to agree to them, but would acquaint the Governour, and return
him an answer that night.
The General would allow but three hours; at the expiration of which, came
another Military Deputy, to acquaint the General, that the Terms were found so
hard, that he could not agree to them, and ask'd if no abatement could be made ?
The General reply'd they were to expect none but what he had already offered,
upon which the Deputy retum'd to the Town.
The Regiments were order'd back to their former Cantonments ; The Piquets
only order'd to Encamp at the Windmill. In order to hasten up the two Twelve
314 L'ORIENT EXPEDITION, 1746
pounders and the Mortar, with the Tools necessary for cutting Fascines and
breaking Ground, the General went in the evening to the Sea Shore ; and to pre-
vent any disappointment He sent an Aid-de-Camp to the Admiral to beg he would
give Directions to land other two Twelve Pounders that night, and forward them
as soon as possible to the Camp with the Stores and Ammunition contained in
a List, which the Director General had sent to the Commissary of the Train.
In Consequence of the above message from the General, a Lieutenant from
each Ship in the Squadron with a proper number of Seamen were Employed, dur-
ing the Night to come at the Cannon, with the Stores and Ammunition, demanded,
from on board the Ordnance Transports, and to gett them into the Boats, for
their being carried ashore.
They were landed early in the morning, and got up the Hill with great dispatch
by another party of Seamen, under the Command of Captain Pritchard. After
which Captain Upton with a fresh party of Seamen, was ordered to draw them to
the Camp, Even before any of the former party of Seamen had returned from
drawing the first Cannon thither: In which case, each Ship in the Road had
absent from her, above one third of her Seamen, besides her Marines, and Boats
Crews, which were continually employed on the like service.
24th Early this morning, the General marched with all the Troops to-
wards the Town, and gave them their Ground for Encamping.
Three hundred Sailors with several officers under the Command of Captain
Knight, brought up to the Camp the two Twelve Pounders, and Ten Inch Mortar
wath the Tools for breaking of Ground, making Fascines &c. demanded by tlie
Engineers. There were left a Sea Lieutenant and Seventy Men, to place the
Guns on the Battery and to assist in working them.
About nine in the morning a Considerable Body of Troops, with Colours,
supposed to have been Transported from Port Louis, were seen moving towards
the Sea Coast, in order, as was supposed to cut off our Communication with the
Fleet; To prevent any accidents of this kind. Brigadier O'ffarel was detached
with two Battalions and two Companies of Grenadiers.
The number of men required by the Director General to make Fascines and
Piquets for Erecting the Battery were appointed.
As soon as it was dark, the Covering Party and workmen were Conducted to
their Posts by the Engineer's and the Regiments by their Majors to night Posts;
where they might be able to support the covering party in case of a Sally.
The Battery was Complcatcd before morning; and the Mortar, and the two
twelve Pounders were placed on it by the Sailors.
25 This morning a few Carcasses and Bombs were thrown into the
Town, but no Cannon were fired, the Commanders of the Artillery having forgot
to order the Grate, for heating the Ball, to be brought up : and the Engineers now
despaired of being able to make a Breach at the Distance at which they had placed
the Battery ; Atho the officers of the Artillery insisted they could heat the Balls
without a Furnace, the General oppos'd their beginning to fire having then Dis-
covered that thro' the neglect of the Commander of the Artillery, or some of his
Subordinate Officers, there was not a Quantity of Ammunition sufficient to keep
a Continued Fire.
L'ORIENT EXPEDITION, 1746 315
This forenoon the other two Twelve Pounders, and the Furnace were brought
to the Camp, by one hundred and Fifty sailors with proper Officers, under the
Command of Captain Upton, and a Body of the Marines.
A Number of Fascines were ordered to be made bv each Battalion, for a
Trench to be extended to the Right and Left of the Battery, as a Cover for the
Men appointed for its protection.
Three hundred Workmen were ordered as the Number demanded by the
Director General, for that Service, and a proper detachment was ordered to Cover
them.
At Five in the evening, it was found necessary to Call a Council of War,
the proceedings of which are as follows.
At a Council of War held at the Camp before L'Orient, the
Twenty fifth day of September 1746.
Present
Lieut. General St. Clair.
Brigadier O'ffarel Brigadier Grahame
Brigadier Richbell
Engineers
Thomas Armstrong Chief Engineer and Commander of the Artillery.
Justly Watson John Armstrong
John Qialmers Captain of the Artillery
Mr. Thomas Armstrong and Captain Chalmers with the Engineers Justly Watson
and John Armstrong, came in a Body to Lieut. General St. Clair about five in the
evening and made such a Report of the situation of their Affairs as determined
him imediatelv to call this Council of War.
Mr. Thomas Armstrong represented to the Council that Stores and Ammuni-
tion came in slowly, that he does not see any Probability of our being supplied
with anmiunition so expeditiously as may be necessary for making a proper use
of the Battery, made last night and opcn'd this morning; and being apprehen-
sive, that the service intended cannot be accomplished so soon as was at first ex-
pected, there being but Thirty four Rounds for each of the four pieces of Cannon,
and none of the Shells and Carcasses for the Ten Inch Mortar left ; and Consider-
ing the Number of Batteries open'd upon them and are likely to be opened on them,
he thought it his duty to represent this to Lieut.' General St Clair, as he now does
to the Council of War.
John Armstrong being extremely afflicted with the Gout, was not in a Condi-
tion to undergo the fatigue of reconnoitreing at the time the Director General and
Engineer Watson did, and for that reason his opinion was not taken in the Coun-
cil of War held on board the Admiral, but being ask'd his opinion at this Council,
he said, that there being no Horses proper to draw our Artillery from the landing
Place, and the Roads being so broken and spoilt by the Rains ; that the getting the
heavy Guns up in time, is scarcely possible, without mentioning the advantages the
Enemy has of drawing continual supplies from the neighbouring Garrison of Port
Louis, so as to be able to mount Six Guns for our one, he is of opinion that nothing
of consequence, can, at this Season, and in our Circumstances be done against
the Town of L'Orient in a proper time.
3l6 L'ORIENT EXPEDITION, 1746
As both the working men and Covering Party, were order'd to parade at that
hour ; and as the proceedings of the Council were likely to take up time, the Gene-
ral thought proper to adjourn the Council till seven o'clock next morning, since
the keeping the detachment under Arms, or altering any part of the disposition
that had been order'd, might give a suspicion to the Troops, which was to be
avoided, as much as possible, as it might be attended with very bad consequences.
26th At seven o'clock in the morning the Council being again Assem-
bled, Captain Justly Watson's Sentiments were ask'd, and he said his former
opinion was, that with a Ten Inch Mortar and two Twelve Pounders, he should
have been able to have lay'd the Town in Ashes in a short time ; and being ask'd
what that time was, he said Twenty four hours; his present opinion being de-
manded, he said, that if the Battery could be properly served with Ammunition
for the above time of Twenty four hours he thought the Enterprize was still
practicable.
The Director General being ask'd what his opinion was in the Council of War
on board the Admiral, acknowledg'd that he then said that with two Twelve
Pounders, a Ten Inch Mortar, and some Royals, the Town might be destroy'd in
Twenty four hours. Being ask'd by Council what his present opinion was, he said^
that from the difficulties and delays in bringing up Ammunition, the Alteration of
the weather, and other circumstances in favour of the Enemy, and to our preju-
dice, he is of opinion, that no great advantage will arise by continuing to push
on, much longer, this undertaking.
Being ask'd by General St. Clair, if at any time he had been refused whatever
number of Armed Men, or Men unarmed to work, he had demanded, he answered^
he never had ; Being ask'd if he had ever applied to the General for bringing up
the Royals, he said, he never directly did apply; being farther ask'd, if he ever-
mentioned the Royals in any of the Lists he sent to the Commissary of the Train,
at the Park of Artillery on the Sea side, he said he never did, as there were other-
things more immediately wanted.
Captain Chalmers of the Artillery being at this time obliged to attend at the
Battery ; his Opinion was not taken at the Council of War.
Brigadier Richbell being ask'd if he thought it adviseable to continue the Siege
of L'Orient, says, that, he is against it and gives the following Reasons. It
appears to him, by the opinion of the Engineers, that they had from the first made
a wrong calculation ; that from the great fatigues the Troops had suflfer'd from
the badness of the Weather, the great Sickness among the Men, which daily
increases, and the uncertainty of being supplied with proper provisions, he is
apprehensive, that in case the Siege should be carried on, it may be attended with
fatal Consequences to the Troops.
Brigadier Grahame, being Ask'd his opinion with regard to carrying on the
Siege, says, that from the reasons the three Engineers have already given ; from
the small number of Troops we have here, the great fatigue they have suflFer'd by
Duty, and the badness of the Weather, the great sickness which daily increases,
and as many other necessary's must soon be wanted, he is of Opinion, that the
Troops should be Reimbark'd.
Brigadier O'ffarel being ask'd his opinion, says that as the Principal motive
L'ORIENT EXPEDITION, 1746 3 1 7
to encourage the undertaking of the Enterprize, was founded on the short time in
which the Engineers proposed to put it in execution, in which he finds we are
disappointed ; the Sickness among the Troops, and that much increasing by great
fatigue, the heavy Rains, night duties, and the want of necessaries, the increase
of the Enemy's Artillery ; and as our communication with the Fleet may be inter-
cepted he thinks it reasonable after having expended all the Ammunition for the
heavy Artillery, to desist from the Enterprize and Reimbark the Troops.
This Evening Capt'n Bagshan Major of Brigade lost his leg, by a Cannon Ball.
The Covering Party and Workmen were Conducted to their Posts by the
Brigadier of the day and the Engineers.
The Sea Lieutenant and the Sailors Placed the other two Twelve Pounders
this Night on the Battery.
The General was informed very early in the morning that the greatest part of
the Workmen had remained unemploy'd during the night and that no Trench had
been made.
The Sick were order'd from Ploemeur to the Fleet.
The General reconnoitred the Ground and Roads towards the Sea Coast this
forenoon. About an hour after his return to the Camp, it was found necessary
to call a second Council of War. The Proceedings are as follows.
At a Council of War held at the Camp before L'Orient the
Twenty sixth day of September 1746.
Present,
Lieut. General St. Clair
Brigadier O'ffarel — Brigadier Grahame.
Brigadier Richbell.
The Director General Armstrong and Captain Chalmers of the Artillery hav-
ing informed the General at three o'clock this evening that there were no Car-
casses or Bombs left, and that there were only One hundred and fifty shott re-
maining, which were not sufficient to serve the Battery that night, and next day,
he therefore thought it proper immediately to call this Council of War.
Captain Chalmers being ask'd if he was of opinion, that the Artillery on the
Battery with the remaining Quantity of Stores, and Ammunition was sufficient
either to make a Breach in the Wall or to sett fire to the Town? he said, he was
positive they could not make a breach in the Wall, at the distance the Battery was
placed, considering its Oblique situation, and was of opinion they could not sett
fire to the Town, as the Houses he had seen in this Country had very little wood in
them, and he had likewise observed, that the Carcasses, Bombs, and Red hot Balls
which had been fired into the Town had little or no effect, he farther added that
he was able to serve only one of the Guns with Red Hot Balls.
Director General Armstrongs opinion being ask'd he declined making any
answer.
The Brigadiers being ask'd what was proper to be done on this representation,
were unanimously of Opinion, that, since, neither a Breach could be made, nor the
Town burnt, the Troops should be immediately drawn off in order to be Reim-
barked; the remaining part of the Ammunition fired away the Four Twelve
Pounders on the Battery Spiked up, since the Captain of the Artillery declared
3l8 L'ORIENT EXPEDITION, 1746
that their Trunnions could not be knocked off, It was then resolved to carry off
the Mortar by means of the sailors, in case it could be placed on its travelling
Carriage.
In Consequence of which Captain Chalmers and the Sea Lieutenant being
called in were directed to take the proper method of replacing it on that Carriage.
That no hint or proposition might be lost whereby it was possible that anything
could be started to Contribute towards the taking the best and wisest Resolution,
the General upon the Representation being made by Captain Chalmers, thought
likewise proper to ask the Opinion of the Commanding Officers of the six Bat-
talions in Camp. The substance of which was much the same with that given by
the General officers, and given unanimously by them, for the following and other
reasons.
(i) That our Battery consisting of four Twelve Pounders and a Ten Inch
Mortar, had Play'd on the Town with very little success, most of the shells eitiier
falling short or bursting in the Air; by which there appeared no probability of
either Burning the Town or the Magazines of the India Company.
(2) That the Distance from the Sea Shore where the Fleet lies, to the Camp,
being at least three Leagues, and the Roads having become very bad from the
two days continued Rain, we look upon it to be next to Impracticable to bring up
any more Ammunition or Stores to the Camp, as the only way of drawing them
had hitherto been by Men.
(3) That the Inclemency of the Weather, together with the necessary hard
Duty, has brought such a sickness among the Men. that their number for Duty
hourly decreased.
From this concurrence in Judgment, gathered from the Councils of War. held
in consequence of his Majestys Instructions.
Your Grace will easily perceive, that with respect to the difficulty of the
Enterprize the whole resulted from the Ignorance of those who have nothing of
the Engineers but the name and the Pay. but however Strong and Cogent, the
Reasons of the General Officers, and Commanding Officers, of the Regiments
might be to their Commander (who was Instructed not to hazard the Kings
Troops improperly) for abandoning an Attempt which they thought must inevita-
bly prove fruitless. Yet, My Lord there were many other concurring Circum-
stances which prevail'd on the General to Yield to the Rcimbarking of the Troops;
By our want of proper Guides, It appeared we were led out of the direct Road to
L'Orient, in pursuit of the Militia and Peasants who retired before us into the
Country, which gave the Enemy a days time more to prepare for our Reception.
The Town being situated at the distance of Ten Miles from the Place, where
we disembarked, we must have continued the Posts we had Established to pre-
serve the Communication with our Fleet, from whence all our Artillery, Storesi
&c must be brouglit, and the Detachments for those Posts, and the Parties neces-
sary to Escort our supplies from the Coast ; made a considerable diminution ic
our little Army, and consequently increas'd their Fatigue, tho. My Lord, th
General put them on no Fatigue without showing them an Example of undeK"
going it himself.
While we remained before the Town a heavy Rain had fallen ; our Men wl
L'ORIENT EXPEDITION, 1746 319
had long been excessively hot on Shipboard, without Exercise ; on the first land-
ing, were growing sickly. They were reduced to about three Thousand.
The Enemy had got seven Batteries erected against our one
From our Deserters they had learnt our numbers which they apprehended at
first to be much greater than they really were. And tho' we look upon all
Militia as despicable, Yet they had such numerous Supplies of them from the
Country, and Sailors from the Harbours, and the Neighbouring Garrison of
Port Louis, that they and the Regular Troops in the place made it impossible to
attempt an Escalade of a Wall forty foot high, without the certain and total
destruction of the forces.
And had we been able to force open one of the Gates by Cannon, it would then
have been extremely difficult, to storm the Town, as the Enemy had dug a very
deep Pit exactly behind each of them, and had made an Entrenchment and placed
Chevaux de Frise behind it.
By a Negro Trumpeter, the only deserter that came to us, we learn 'd that
the regular Forces, who were before in the Town, and who had gone into it from
the neighbouring Villages upon our approach were
Four Troops of Horse at 41 pr. Troop 164
Eight Troops of Dragoons at 37 pr. Troop 296
Two Companys of Invalid Sergts. at 35 Each 70
Two Companys of Invalids at 50 Each 100
Two Do. of the East India Compy. at 55 no
740
To these motives for Reimbarking, my Lord, it must be added, That tho' the
Admiral resolved to remain at Anchor with the Fleet, where it was, 'till the Issue
of the Enterprize was determined, or the Army marched round by Land to
Quiberon Bay, agreeable to our Plan of operation, at our first setting out. in
order to meet the Fleet there, and to lay the Country under Contributions and
Annoy the Enemy in the best manner we were able, to procure a Diversion in
Flanders by carrying the Alarm farther into the Country, and thereby answer-
ing the End of the Expedition, yet that Scheme was frustrated by the Enemy s
breaking down the Bridges over the Rivers particularly those at Paneros and
Hencbon.
In this situation then, when the preservation of His Majesty's Ships and
Transports, seem'd particularly at Stake, together with the Reimbarking the
Troops without loss and drawing the Admiral into a misfortune, who had so
well supported this Expedition by not only granting readily, all that was asked,
but more then the Army could expect, or think of requesting. What was there
left for the General to do? He could no longer resist. My Lord, the general
voice and continue hazarding the Kings Troops, by losing so much time in the
vain pursuit of a hopeless undertaking.
This account of our proceedings would have been more succint, had we been
more fortunate, but bv the relation of so manv minute circumstances. Your
Grace, will the more clearly discern that this disappointment, after so flattering
an Aspect, is in no degree to be imputed to any part of our Conduct, but to
320 L'ORIENT EXPEDITION, 1746
the Ignorance and presumption of those, who have thrust themselves into the
employment of Engineers.
Had not the Members of the Council of War held on board the Princessa
been deceived by their positive Assurances, the Attempt would never have
been made, or at least must have been made in some other manner less un-
likely to succeed; but as the General had never made that branch of Military
business his particular study he was necessitated to repose Confidence in
those who were assigned him for Guides in that Science.
And tho* our being reduced to abandon the undertaking, is still rendered
the more mortifying, as the Town offered to Capitulate, Yet, as it was the
Sentiments of the Council of War, held on board the Princessa, upon the
opinion and asseverations of the Engineers, and Captain of the Artillery,
that the Town was no ways Tenable, not to accept of the Surrender of it,
but at discretion, the General apprehended, that the first terms demanded
were so unreasonable, as by no means to be allowed, whilst there remained
the smallest hopes of obliging them to accept of lower Conditions; particularly
the Terms which were said to be demanded in behalf of their East India Com-
pany, which were that they should be allowed to enjoy every thing they had, and
to continue their Trade as if the Town was not in our possession.
In the afternoon orders were giving for the covering Party, and out Posts
to join their respective Regiments in the evening; Before Eight the Troops
were under Arms, and the General waited at the head of the Grenadiers, who
compos'd the Rear Guard till the out Posts had Join'd their respective Corps;
the Guns were spiked, and as thro' a misunderstanding with regard to the time
appointed for trying to place the Mortar on the Travelling Carriage, the attempt
was not made, it was likewise spiked up, tho' had the attempt been made as was
intended, their Endeavours must have proved ineffectual as they had no Gin nor
any other Instrument proper for raising so great a weight.
In this day and yesterdays Firing there were Thirty Carcasses, thirty Shells,
thirty two Grapes, and three hundred and forty Shot, thrown into the Town.
Of the Shot, one fourth was only Red hot, as by the neglect of the people of the
Artillery the bellows had been forgot.
The General took Post this night with the Grenadiers.
27th About three in the morning the Troops got to the Sea Shore; the
Sloops and Armed Tenders moved in Shore as near as Possible, to Cover the
Reimbarkation, to facilitate which, and to secure it with all possible dispatch in case
of Blowing Weather, the Superb, Hastings, Saphire, and Ruby, moved likewise in
Shore as near the Reimbarkation place as possible in order to receive the Troops,
the Marines with the Battalions of Frampton and Richbell were Embarked.
28th Early in the morning the Artillery was put on board, and the
weather being extremely moderate the Reimbarkation of all the Troops was com-
pleated before five in the evening, and the Boats of the Fleet dureing the night
were employ'd in Transfering the Troops to their proper Transports.
29th It blew so hard about S.Wt. with a great Sea Tumbling in, that
it was dangerous for a Boat to pass from Ship to Ship.
30th A Council of War was held on board the Princessa, consisting of
the four eldest of the Sea, and four eldest of the Land Officers, in which it was
rORIENT EXPEDITION, 1746 32 I
debated, whether the Army should undertake any farther operations, either Singly
or in Conjunction with the Fleet; and particularly if the Fleet should not proceed
to the Bay of Quiberon, and it was voted by the Brigadiers, Commodore, and
Captains that the Squadron should immediately return to Spithead, and the Troops
sail to Ireland under a proper Convoy agreeable to our Instructions, after the
Expedition was over; on account of the representation of the Commodore and
Captains with regard to the danger the Fleet might run by continuing any longer
in the Bay of Biscay.
October ist The Opinion of these Gentlemen against going to Quiberon
Bay being founded on suppositions without proof and Conclusions not justly
drawn Vizt.
That there might be Batterys in the Isthmus of Lomaria and the opposite side
on the Main, which would annoy us as we lay at Anchor; That the Enemy
might gather together under Bell Isle, from Brest, Rochford, and other parts in
the Bay, a Force by Sea sufficient to defeat our Squadron ; That the Fleet must
lie at Anchor in this Bay with the Winds from W. N. W to S. E. and that if a
Superior Force came against us we must infallibly lose both Fleet and Army, as
it would be impossible for any Ship to escape, out of so narrow a Channell. It
was incumbent on us to reject such crude conceptions, and to continue to pursue
with a chearful and dutiful obedience, the methods we thought Conducive towards
answering the Kings Intentions of sending us upon the Expedition. We remem-
br'd we had been told by Your Grace that the only view and design of it was to
procure if possible a Diversion in Flanders, which was of the utmost consequence
in the then present Conjuncture ; and that even an alarm, or at least any landing
must necessarily have a good Effect.
And tho' by landing the Troops and making the Attempt they did on L'Orient
we were disappointed in establishing ourselves there, yet we were sure that we
had so far effectually answer'd the End of the Expedition as to create a great
Alami by the Descent we had made, and indeed from all we were able to learn,
the French Court had order'd a considerable Force from Flanders to oppose us.
Least therefore that this Alarm should cease, or the Detachment order'd from
Flanders to oppose us should be Countermanded, on Drawing off the Troops from
hefore L'Orient their speedy Reimbarkation, and the sudden disappearance of the
Squadron and Transports from off the Western Coast of France. We appre-
hended under these circumstances, notwithstanding the opinion of the Council of
War, that our continuing on the Coast was practicable for answering the End of
this Expedition, And as the Admiral had received by Lieutenant Oarry who had
heen sent in the Post Boy Tender to Guernsey to procure Pilots, a letter from
^ptain Wickham Commanding Officer of the Convoy to the Guards &c.
^quainting him that they arrived at Plymouth the 21st of September; We agreed
immediately to go to Quiberon Bay where the Fleet might lay with safety, and to
^d the Troops on the Peninsula of that name ; and there wait the coming of the
^rds and Major General Huske's Regiment of Foot, in order to undertake on
^c Arrival of that Reinforcement any operations that might be thought adviseable.
^d the Fleet accordingly got under Sail the ist of October.
The Admiral having received intelligence by the Royal George Cutter that a
32 2 L'ORIENT EXPEDITION, 1746
French Ship of War lay in Palais Road Belle Isle, the Commodore, with the Hast-
ings, Ruby and Vulcan Fire Ship was dispatched in quest of her, and in case of
meeting with her, he was directed to take or Burn her, by all possible means in
his power ; But before he got to Belle Isle Captain Lake of the Exeter. Cruizing on
that Station, had performed this Service the account of which he gave to the
Admiral in the following letter.
Sir.
Yesterday morning being off the S. Wt. End of Belle Isle. Captain Mackenzie
of the Tavistock Sloop, having made the Signal to speak with me, acquainted me
that there was a large Ship at Anchor under the N .Wt. part of the Island, pre-
paring to get under Sail, upon which we immediately Tack VI and (with the
Tavistock) stood in for her. and open'd the point of Lamaria; very soon after-
wards, saw her under sail standing to the N. Wt. the Wind being then at W. S. Wt.
with all the Sail she could crowd, as we had likewise, at Nine she Tack'd to the
Southward to get, as we supposed under the Cannon of Palais; But the Wind
shifting to the S. Wt. it brought her under our Lee. as we still Kept the Wind with
the Larboard Tacks on board, which she perceiving, wore round. Sett her Stud-
ding Sails, and hoisted a white pendant and having a Waft with her Ensign
abroad, she fired several Guns
We gave Chase, and came up with her very fast, on seeing which, at Ten. she
ran in and came to an Anchor, close to the Shore in a little Sandy Bay surrounded
with Rocks at the S. Wt. end of Quibcron, where there were about Eight Guns
round her at several places on the Shore, which as well as the Ship that had Two
Tier of Guns, was very lofty, and in her Stern appeared riot unlike the Princessa •
having brought her P>roadside, to Bear, Begim to fire Briskly at us, while we were
preparing to Anchor along side of her.
Half an hour past Eleven, having furled our Sails and dropt down prettiy
near her, we Began to return the Salute, and at Noon came to an anchor as nes^-r
her as we could venture with safety to the Ship and fired away apace upon h€^^«
and I order'd the Tavistock to ply a Battery of two Guns ahead of her.
Half an hour past noon Captain Baird of the Fly Sloop, came on board u^s-
(shc being the Chace the Pool was sent after) and the Pool being come back wi^^
him, I sent Captain Baird with Directions to Captain Thomson to Anchor abo'^-*^
four or five Cables length ahead of us, in order to heave our Ship off when oi**"
Business was done, for we were within a Cables length of dry Rocks, a^^
Breakers both a Stern of us and without us.
Soon after the Pool Anchored, and began to fire at the Enemys Ship slTbu
Batterys ; and I ordered the Fly to ply another small Battery which Raked ^^
from the Stern.
Half an hour past three, the Enemys Ship went on Shore head foremost (^^'^
having as f suppose shot her Cable) and could bring only a few Guns to bear upon
us besides her Stern chace ; At four, her foremast and Mizen Mast, went both
overboard on the Starboard side together, and gave the Ship a pretty large list
that way tho' she continued firing what Guns she could till near seven, after which
no more Guns were fired on either side
UORIENT EXPEDITION, 1746 323
This morning we saw her in a very shattered Condition, her Stern being ahnost
dr\', and shot holes in abundance in her, her Rudder shot away, and her Starboard
Gunnel under water, and no Body to be seen stirring on Board her.
As it blew very fresh at W. S. Wt. which was right on upon the Shore all
night, I could not send to Burn her, as I intended to do the sea running in so high,
that with all the Boats of the other Ships to assist my own, we could not tow a
Longboat ahead, but the Wind shifting to the N. N. Wt. at day light, by seven
oclock, we hove up and Stowed the small Bower, (for we were obliged to lye all
the night with both a head being so near the Breakers) and cut our best Bower
Cable after heaving tought on a spring we had Clapt upon it ; and cast just clear to
weather the Breakers; the other Ships of ours getting under Sail soon after us.
We had only two men wounded, tho' several great shott as well as Barrs and
broken pieces of Iron came into us, But they shott our Foretopsail almost full of
holes, and shot away all our Larboard Maintopmast Shrouds and Backstays, and
some of the Runing Riging, and Dismounted the second Gun on the Larboard side
on the Gun Deck, which with the loss of our Barge. Best Bower and Stream
Anchor and Cable and three Hawsers (which we were obliged to leave behind us)
is all the loss we Sustained, excepting some little damage between Wind and
Water, under the Ships Counter.
About Ten we joined Commodore Cotes, and Received his orders to make all
the Sail I could to lead the Fleet into Quiberon Bay, where he told me you was
coming, and soon afterwards we saw you Coming round Belle Isle, and stood in
ourselves as near the Rocks, without the Cardinals as I thought it safe 'for any
Ship to \'enture. I am Sir,
Yours &ca. Thomas Lake.
2d October The Fleet anchored in Quiberon Bav ; Four of our Trans-
ports which had between Eight and Nine Hundred men of Harrisons and Rich-
bells Regiment on board together with a Store Ship being missing, the Hastings
and Tavistock Sloop were sent in search of tliem.
3d The Fleet got under Sail and having got up against the Peninsula
of Quiberon it Anchored.
We found this to be a spacious and commodious Bay, good anchorage and
Regular Soundings all over it. Sheltered every way from the Wind and Sea;
capable of containing the Royal Navy, where Five hundred Sail may Ride ; Land
Locked all round from the Sea ; It is of so great an Extent, that it is impossible to
fortifye it in such a manner as to hinder a Fleet at all times having recourse to so
good a Sanctuary.
The situation with regard to annoying and alarming the French, is the finest
in the world ; it is in the Centre betwixt Brest and Bourdeaux. and it is Contiguous
to the Harbours of Port Louis, L'Orient, Croxie, Nantz, Rochfort, Rochelle, and
many trading Towns ; and nothing can contribute more to the Destruction of the
French trade, and our prosperity than a Squadron being Stationed there, for gen-
erally every Ship bound to any Port in the Bay of Biscay, makes Belle Isle; so
that by a well judged disposition of Cruizers to relieve one another, while larger
Ships lay in this excellent Bay, great advantages might be reaped, and the designs
t
324 L'ORIENT EXPEDITION, 1746
and Views of the Enemy frustrated, by Blocking up their Harbours and observing
all their Motions. During the time the Fleet lay here, Cruizers were Kept out to
line the shore from the Penmarks to the Cardinals.
4th The Admirals Captain was sent on shore early in the morning to
summon the Peninsula of Quiberon. The General Officer who Commanded there
Insisted upon having Terms allowed him ; he was told he could have no other than
surrendering at Discretion ; upon which he reply'd he had Men sufficient to resist
our Force and would defend the Place to the last Man.
The small men of War and Armed Tenders having Mov'd close in shore to
cover the Disembarking ; The General Landed on the Peninsula of Quiberon, and
took possession of it without opposition. He Detach'd immediately Lieut. Colonel
Munro with One Hundred and fifty of the Highland Regiment to take Post upon
XI Rising Ground which Commands the Isthmus, in order to prevent any of the
Inhabitants from retireing with their cattle ; and Marched himself with a Body of
the Royal, and of the Highlanders and took Possession of a small Fort; and all
the Cannon of the Peninsula amounting to Eighteen Pieces.
He drove away with small arms a Boat from the French Ship of War, that had
been forced on shore by the Exeter, and sent an Aid-de-Camp on board of her,
to prevent anything being meddled with, till proper persons should be sent by the
Admiral to take Charge of her.
In the Evening after reconnoitreing the Isthmus, he Posted a Guard upon the
Rising Ground, Cantoned the Troops in such a manner as to be able to Sustain
the Post, and order'd Roads of Communication to be made. Eighty seven sick
Sailors of the French Ships were found in a Village.
Captain Lake with the Armed Tenders were sent round to Examine the Condi-
tion of the French Ship of War, which proved to be one of the Duke D'Anvilles
Squadron, the L' Ardent a fine new man of War of Sixty four Guns, and Seven
hundred men, very near as large as the Princessa, Commanded by Monsieur
Colombe Commissary General of the Artillery.
From the Journals that were found, and the Examination of several of the
Prisoners the following Account was gather'd.
She Sailed from the Isle of Dieu the 22d of June in Company with the Duke
D'Anville and Six Sail more of the Line, with a few Frigates and about Eighty
Sail of Trade ; Two more Ships of the Line and a Forty Gun Ship Joined them
From Toulon soon after they Sailed; which three Ships were afterwards dis-
patched some where with a great part of the Trade.
Eleven Ships of the Convoy were loaded with Stores and Ammunition, Nine
of which were sent to Quebec ; and on the 19th of July a Man of War to St. Mary's
They continued at Sea without Knowing where they were bound, near three
Months, in which time they took two of our Ships bound from Jamaica, and
Monsieur Colombe had often been on board of Duke D*Anville to ask him where
they were bound, but he would not tell him; their design in keeping so long at
Sea, proceeded from the hopes of meeting with our Transports and Store Ships
with the Convoy of Men of War, as first designed under the Command of Commo-
•dore Cotes
About Twenty Leagues from Cape Sable the Squadron was dispersed by a
UORIENT EXPEDITION, 1746 325
Gale of Wind, being before in great distress by sickness and bad Weather, inso-
much that they must be necessitated to Run to the Leeward Islands to Shelter
there, for their Recovery and Refitting, or Return home.
The L'Ardent having buried One Hundred and Ten men, and having not above
Twenty Men in a Watch (were touched with the Scurvy, which was the Raging
Distemper among them) Bore away in this sad Condition for Brest, and in her
Passage took one of our Ships from Virginia full of fresh provisions.
After being near four Months at Sea, she arrived at Palais Road Belle Isle
where she took men on board the day before she met her fate.
This night she was set on fire by the people belonging to the Post Boy Tender,
and by all Circumstances it was done on purpose, and by the contrivance of the
Master, because he was order'd to leave her, and could no longer Employ his
Tenders Crew in plundering her. She burnt down to the Waters Edge ; and this
Wicked Act is the more Chagreening as there was a probability of getting her off
again ; for it was not certain whether she was Bilged or not ; At least all her Stores
might have been sav'd, which according to an Account found of them could not
be of less Value then Fifteen thousand Pounds. Prize Sloops with men under the
Command of Captain Upton, were sent to Weigh her Guns, Eighteen of which.
Twelve twelve pounders and Six twenty four Pounders, of Brass were got up^
and put on board the Princessa, and the Trunnions of the Rest of her Guns which
were New, were Knock 'd off and rendered unserviceable.
5th Orders were given to Mr. Armstrong to Erect a Battery with Eight
Pieces of Cannon found on the Peninsula, and make an Entrenchment at the Hea,d
of the Isthmus
The Marines were Landed and Employed in drawing Ammunition and Artillery
to the Battery.
The General wrote a letter to the Govemour of Port Louis, desireing him to
send a Commissary to grant a Receipt for the Sailors as Prisoners of War.
Captain Baird of His Majestys Sloop the Fly, was sent by the Admiral to
Reconnoitre St. Gildas in consequence of a Message he had received from the
General
And this day the Picquets Commanded by a Field Officer were Posted at the
Isthmus in place of the Advanced Guards.
6th Captain Baird returned and on his report, the Admiral and General
sent Brigadier Grahame to reconnoitre St. Gildas.
The Battery was raised, the Entrenchment Completed and a Redoubt Erected
where the Picquet of a Regiment took Post.
An Encampment was marked and the Tents pitched but the Troops were per-
mitted to remain in the Village in the Rear of the Camp to prevent as much as
possible the increase of the Sickness among them.
7th A Commissary arrived from Port Louis and Eighty one of the
Sailors were sent off in Boats a Receipt for them being granted.
A Council of War was held in consequence of Brigadier Grahames report,
wherein it was unanimously agreed to lay aside the project of St. Gildas.
And the Men of War which were sent to look for the four Transports which
had been separated from the Fleet, being returned without being able to find them,
326 L'ORIENT EXPEDITION, 1746
and there remaining no hopes of being Joined by the Troops under Major General
Fullers Command, the Wind having continued fair from England for a consider-
able time it was unanimously voted to Reimbark the Troops as their numbers were
too small to enter upon any new undertaking
The French Commissary was dispatched. A letter was wrote to the Govemour
of Fort Louis desireing him to send some Soldiers and Sailors made prisoners,
when straggling, by the Peasants
The opinion of the Council of war for Reimbarking the Troops appeared to us.
My Lord, to be well founded. For by remaining longer with the Fleet and Forces
at Quiberon, which were only Two thousand Six hundred could not be any more
Conducive to the Answering the Kings Intentions. The Season was so far ad-
vanced, that in all probability, the Flanders Armies, had made the necessary
dispositions for Entering into Winters Quarters, so that if we had not already
drawn a Detachment from Mareschal Saxe's Troops, We could not by staying
longer be able to Effectuate our Design; or if we could, it must be little or no
Service to the common Cause. On the other hand if we had been so fortunate
as to oblige them to Detach a Considerable party of Troops to oppose us, the
Detachment must be so far advanced (by that time our Troops were Reimbark'd
the Ships called in, and collected together, from their several Cruizing Stations,
and we were ready to Sail with the Squadron and Transports) as not to be Able
to return to their Army, before the middle of November. And as we are Injoin'd
by our Instructions, not to hazard his Majest>'s Ships and Forces, and as the
Number of the Troops is greatly reduced by sickness, and the separation of Four
of the Transports; And as Major General Fuller was not arrived with the bat-
talions under his Command; We thought it our Duty to Reimbark the Troops;
In which we humbly hope for His Majestys most Gracious approbation, as the
Step we have taken is altogether agreeable to our Instructions, and we have from
the beginning of this Expedition till now done our Best for the Success and honour
of His Majestys Arms.
8th The Exeter, Hastings and Tavistock Sloop being ordered to Batter
a Fort on the South end of the Island of Houat, were obliged to Anchor, not within
a proper distance for that purpose on Account of Rocks and Shoal water; at the
same time the Boats of the Squadron Landed about One hundred and thirty Sea-
men under the Command of the Admirals Captain who immediately marched up
to a Fort on the west side of the Island and found it abandoned by the Enemy,
tho a regular and Modern Fortification, and easily to have been defended, against
a much superior Force than that brought against it, having Eleven Embrasures
with 2 Six pounders mounted, Situated on a high narrow Craggy Point with
proper loopholes for small arms, to have defended the narow Neck of Land that led
to it, towards the Sea, there were steep Rocks, and towards the Land a Draw
Bridge, drawn up, and a Moat about fifteen foot wide, and the parapet, that height
and about the same in thickness a Double wall of Stone, the Outer one about four
foot thick, and the Inner about two, and between them filled up with Earth.
From thence they Marched to the Fort on the South end of the Island ; when
they came within Musket shot of it, An Officer was sent to Summon it, and the
Captain who Commanded it, (after having been refus'd leave to march out with
L'ORIENT EXPEDITION, 1746 327
the honours of War) let down the Draw Bridge and Surrendered himself with his
Garrison, Consisting of a Serjeant two Corporals a Drum and thirty private Men,
prisoners of War; This Fort was Round, Surounded with a Ditch, over which
was a Draw Bridge. In the Wall of this Fort, which was about sixteen foot
high from the bottom of the Ditch, there were Embrasures for thirteen Guns
tho' there were but seven Mounted. In the middle of the Fort stood a strong
round Watch Tower, which by its Structure seemed to be extremely old, It was
about Eighty foot high, the lower part of the wall was nine foot thick towards
the top, about five; Divided in Six Stories with Loopholes for small Arms; the
two undermost were vaulted and Bomb proof, and round the top of the uppermost
were placed a quantity of large Stores, in order to defend the Base of the Tower.
9th The Marines were Reimbarked.
10 By the Sentence of a General Court Martial held yesterday and
this day Lieutenant Waller was broke with Infamy for Cowardice.
The Battalions of Harrison, Frampton and RichBell were Reimbarked.
nth The Eighteen French Guns found on the Isthmus, were destroyed
and the Battalions of Bragg, Highlanders and Royal went on board. And the
Fly Sloop was sent out to Call in the Cruizing Ships that were stationed between
the Penmarks and the Cardinals.
A great number of trading Vessels and large boats together with Storehouses
belonging to the fishing Factory, having in them great quantities of Fishing Geer
and Stores of all Kinds in the Harbour of Quiberon were burnt and destroy'd.
1 2th The Fleet got under Sail and Anchored near the Island of Howat
m order to wait for the Cruizers coming in, and to take the Cattle off that Island
and to destroy their Forts
13th The Exeter Hastings and Tavistock Sloop being order'd to Batter
^ Fort on the South end of the Island of Hedic, Anchor'd within two Cables length
^^ the Fort, and fired upon it ; at the same time the Boats of the Squadron Landed
abovit five hundred Seamen under the Command of Captain Pearce, who marched
^P to the Fort, which was just such another with a Watch Tower as that on the
^uth end of Howat, The Officer who Commanded it, being a Lieuten't Surren-
dered himself with his Garrison at discretion, consisting of a Sergeant a Corporal
^ I^rum and twenty private men.
The prisoners taken from both Islands being Sixty one were sent to Quiberon,
^d a Major General Commanding there granted a Receipt for them.
The Forts on Houat and Hedic being effectually destroyed with the Trunnions
^\ the Guns Knock'd off, and all the ships being collected together except the
l^ltury, which the Admiral expected to see in his passage, The Fleet got under
^U, and the Pool was sent to Cruize as long as her Water would admit between
^^ Penmarks and the Isle of Groa, in order to acquaint the Guards in case they
^Ould come ; of our return home.
This Account was intended to have been sent Your Grace as soon as the Fleet
8^ out of Quiberon Bay, but the Weather being such, that we could not venture
^ Boat in the Water, it has been prevented till now, when we have the pleasure to
add that We are gott so far in our Return.
The Superb, Ruby, Saphire and Tavistock Brig, are order'd to see the Tran-

sports and Store Ships safe into Cork and Kinsale, and to follow the Admiral, who
with the rest of the Squadron after seeing the Convoy a little farther on their way^
will agreeable to our Instructions return to Spithead.
We are with great Deference

PROGRESS OF THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY,
1 896- 1 906.
Report of the Executive Committee to the Board of Trustees.
Ten years have now elapsed since the consolidation of the Astor Library,
the Lenox Library, and the Tilden Trust, and the practical working organi-
zation of the New York Public Library, Astor, Lenox and Tilden Founda-
tions. It is not only interesting but wise to review what has been accom-
plished and see how the new corporation has acquitted itself before the
public.
Prior to the consolidation the Astor and Lenox Libraries, although
somewhat isolated and old-fashioned, had been of incalculable benefit to
scholars and students; in fact they were the only reference libraries in
the city for general public use. The collections of books were of great
value, but neither institution could keep pace with modern public demands
for new books and for better service, and neither separately nor in combi-
nation could they expect permanently to occupy the field as in the past.
The Tilden Trust, moreover, owing to the setting aside of Mr. Tilden's
will, had but a portion of his estate to apply to the purposes of the Trust
and could hope only to duplicate the work of the other libraries.
It was therefore determined to consolidate the three corporations, to
make more available to public use the valuable collections of books by
means of the joint funds, but more especially to enlist the interest of the
public, to obtain the aid of the city authorities in the construction of a
suitable building, and, in the language of an address to the Mayor in
February 1896, ** to adopt the broadest policy possible in reference to the
nature and scope of the New York Public Library which the funds at the
disposal of the corporation, or which can be obtained, permit."
New Library Building.
The result of this action was satisfactory in a high degree. In the
address above referred to the Board of Trustees applied to the city
authorities for their approval of such legislation as would enable the city
to grant to this corporation a proper site for its library building and the
343
344 REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
funds necessary to construct and equip it and asked that the site of the
reservoir on Fifth Avenue between Fortieth and Forty-second Streets be
granted for this purpose. The preliminary legislation thus requested
was granted by an act of the legislature approved by the Governor May
19th, 1896, and the bill *' to provide for the construction of a building
in Bryant Park in the City of New York to be occupied by the New York
Public Library, Astor, Lenox and Tilden Foundations," became a law
just one year later. May 19, 1897.
On May 21, 1897, specifications for a preliminary competition for plans
for the new building were issued by the Board, and on August 2, 1897, the
terms of the final competition were given to twelve architects. On
November 8, 1897, the jury of award reported in favor of the plans sub-
mitted by Carr^re & Hastings, and these plans were approved by the Board
of Estimate on December i, 1897. On December 8, 1897, a lease and
agreement for the occupation of the building when completed was signed
by the municipal authorities and the officers of the Library.
Progress in the construction of the building has been unexpectedly
slow. It is fair to bear in mind that the building is a very large one, 390
feet in front on Fifth Avenue by 270 feet in depth, covering about two and
one-half acres; that much of the original delay was caused by difficulties
attending the removal of the reservoir and the excavations; that the prob-
lems of construction in reference to reading rooms, stack work, heating
and ventilation involve new questions and are complicated ; and apparently
the safeguards, so called, which surround public contracts, seem always to
invite litigation and delay. On the other hand it is certainly true that the
delay has given time for further study and improvement of the plans and
has produced a much better result.
The building is four stories high and includes two open courts for light
and air, each being about 80 feet square. All exterior walls are of white
marble, and the whole structure is thoroughly fire proof. The main stack
will contain 1,600,000 volumes and immediately over it are the public read-
ing rooms with seats for 700 persons. Special provision is made for the
needs of students and scholars in certain rooms not open to the general
public, and containing special collections, one being devoted to early
American history, another to science — and others to sociology, technol-
ogy, patents, music, maps, etc. The total number of seats for readers is
1,000, and there will be shelving for two millions of volumes. Special
rooms are devoted to the print department, the picture gallery, the Library
for the blind, the children's department, the periodical room, the news-
paper room, the lending department.

346 REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
It will be seen from this statement that from six months to more than
a year has elapsed in most cases between the dates of submitting plans and
specifications to the Park Department and the receiving of bids.
In addition to the above, plans and specifications for the following con-
tracts are well advanced and can probably be submitted to the city
authorities very soon : —
8. For electric light and power.
9. For the interior finish.
10. For statuary of the exterior front.
11. For finishing of grounds and approaches.
These contracts comprise all the contracts for construction.
The specifications for furniture and for the equipment have not yet been
taken up.
The Readers' Department.
During the calendar year 1896 the number of readers at the Astor
Library was 96,260, and at the Lenox Library 13,228, or 109,488 in all.
The volumes consulted were 236,5 13 at the Astor and 55,693 at the Lenox,
making a total of 292,205 in all.
During the year ending June 30, 1905, the number of readers and visi-
tors— that is, the total number of people entering the doors — was at the
Astor, 142,849, and at the Lenox, 57,389, or 200,338 in all; the number of
desk applicants filling out orders for books was 159,695, and the number
of volumes consulted by them was 615,454. The increase at the Astor
would have been greater if it were possible to provide more seats in
the Astor reading rooms ; as it is, in the afternoons it often happens that
there are more readers than can be seated.
The table on page 5 shows the increase in the use of the reference
branches of the Library for the last nine years, year by year.

REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
The increase in the number of readers has been largely due to
changes and improvements giving increased accommodations to the public.
The most important of these were the following: —
1 Extension of the hours of opening. The old hours were from ten
A. M. to four p. M. in winter or to five p. m. in summer. In 1896 these hours
were changed to nine o'clock in the morning and six in the evening. On
January i, 1906, the hours of opening of the Astor Building were extended
to nine p. m. This extension of hours has been made possible by the
introduction of electric lighting into both the Astor and Lenox Buildings.
The Astor has its own electric plant; the Lenox obtains its electricity from
street mains. The reading rooms in both buildings are well lighted.
2 The introduction of open reference shelves in both buildings, about
4,000 volumes in each being thus at the disposal of the public without the
necessity of writing call slips and presenting them at the delivery desk. A
special attendant is in charge of these shelves, his duties being to assist
readers, and show them how to obtain what they want.
3 The great increase in current periodicals, the establishment of a
special periodical reading room at the Astor, and the display of the newest
books in a special case.
4 The opening of a new reading room at the Lenox devoted to
genealogy, local history, and music.
5 Increased rapidity of service by means of book lifts and re-classifica-
tion of books.
6 The preparation of an index catalogue for the use of the public.
It is impossible to make an accurate comparison of the work done by
the reference department of the New York Public Library with that done
by other great reference libraries, owing to want of the necessary data,
but the following table is believed to be approximately correct:

Increase in Books.
On the first of January, 1896, the number of volumes in the Astor and
"Lenox Buildings, including those coming from the Tilden Library, con-
stituting the reference department of the Library, was 381,877 and of
pamphlets about 10,600. On the first of January, 1906, there were on
the shelves of the Astor and Lenox Buildings, available for readers,
'685,428 volumes and 270,600 pamphlets, showing an increase of 303,551
volumes and 260,000 pamphlets, being an average increase of 30,351
volumes and 26,000 pamphlets for each of the ten years. This is
for the reference department only; the circulation department had on
January i, 1906, 543,955 volumes, giving a total of 1,499,995 pieces in the
•entire system.
Of the additions to the reference department during these ten years
144,118 volumes and 145,906 pamphlets came by gift, about two-thirds of
which have been public documents, reports of institutions, etc. Besides
these there have been many gifts of rare and costly works and some
special collections of much interest, such as the Emmet collection of
manuscripts and books relating to the American revolution, received from
Mr. John S. Kennedy; the Theodorus Bailey Myers Collection, from Mrs.
Mason Myers, Mrs. Julian-James, and Mrs. Phelps Mason; the Ford
collection of printed books from Worthington C. and Paul L. Ford ; the
Ford manuscripts from Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan; the Mormon collection
from Miss Helen M. Gould; the Vattemare collection of nineteenth
century government documents from Mr. John Bigelow; the Sorge collec-
tion of works on sociology, trades-unions, etc., from Mr. F. A. Sorge; the \
Simon Sterne collection of books on economics, from Mrs. Sterne; the
Library Americana, from Mr. Henry Baldwin, of New Haven, Conn., and
his associates. Some valuable gifts of manuscripts not included in the
above figures have also been received, including a collection of Monroe
j)apers; the Schuyler papers, from Mr. Philip Schuyler; the Tilden papers,
from the Tilden executors, etc.
By exchange large additions have been received from the Library of
•Congress, the Library of Columbia University, the Library of Harvard
University, the national libraries of Chile and Brazil, the state libraries of
New South Wales and South Australia and from other foreign corre-
spondents.
The addition of this large number of books to the reference department
has required changes in the arrangement of rooms and the addition of
shelving to the amount of about 55,000 lineal feet, or over ten miles. This
has been placed in the alcoves and the rooms on the first floor of the Astor
building and in the basement of the Lenox, and the books least used.
3 50 REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
including the sections of medicine, law, and dogmatic theology, have been
transferred to the less accessible shelves.
The Catalogue Department.
In January, 1896, the catalogue of the reference side of the Library was
very incomplete and unsatisfactory. The Astor Library had two printed
author catalogues, but this record stopped with 1880; the Lenox Library
had printed seven '* Contributions to a Catalogue," but these included a
fraction only of its peculiarly valuable collections. There was practically
no subject catalogue for either library; there were no shelf lists, and the
author catalogues on cards were incomplete and not made according to
modern methods. One cataloguer was at work at the Lenox and two at
the Astor.
To-day the Library has a card catalogue of authors and subjects con-
taining over two millions of cards, /. ^., titles, and this is much used by
readers. There are still a number of older books and pamphlets which
have not been properly catalogued, but all material recently obtained is
properly noted, and the older material is being recatalogued as fast as
possible.
Ten years ago the books had a fixed location and a very insufficient
classification; to-day the majority have been reclassified, and arranged
and marked for a relative location system, thus permitting all books
relating to a particular subject to be brought together.
We now have eighteen persons employed in the catalogue department,
and the results of their work are very satisfactory to the public.
The Periodical Department.
In 1896 the Library contained about 57,000 volumes of periodicals; it
now contains about 100,000 volumes, an increase of nearly 80 per cent*
The increase has been greatest in the departments of history, art, science,
technology, and sociology.
Ten years ago the Library subscribed to about 350 current periodicals^
which were kept on shelves behind the delivery desk; of this number about
one hundred were not available until the volume was completed and bound*
As periodicals, however, to-day contain the latest discussion and presenta-
tion of public questions and scientific topics of interest, it was necessary
that the department should be largely extended. The number therefore
was rapidly increased and special attendants were assigned to take charge
of them in the south reading room at the Astor, and deliver them to
readers.
REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE 351
At present the Library receives 5,400 current periodicals, of which 744
are weeklies, 20T semi-monthlies, 1,518 monthlies, 188 bi-monthlies, and
641 quarterlies. These figures do not include 1,000 official series or 7,181
annual publications received by gift. The daily average of readers in the
department is about 100; of periodicals called for, about 700 numbers;
this record does not include the 100 periodicals placed on open reference
shelves.
The Document Department.
The increase in the document department has been greater than that in
any other department of the Library during the last ten years. In 1896
this department contained about 12,000 volumes and pamphlets. It now
contains about 185,000 volumes and pamphlets, or about one-fifth of the
total number in the Library. This rapid increase has been mainly due to
gifts.
It is especially strong in its collection of legislative proceedings,
including American federal and state, British parliamentary and colonial,
Italian federal and provincial, French, German, Spanish, Belgian, Dutch,
Servian, and Bulgarian. It is also strong in municipal reports and docu-
ments of all countries, and in statistical reports relating to population,
finance, taxation, railroads, commerce and trade.
It is much used by students in political science and economics, and in
municipal organization and finance, and also by investigators in history^
and is one of the most important collections in the world for consultation
by writers on these subjects.
The Semitic Department.
In 1898 Mr. Jacob H. Schiff gave to the Library a fund of $10,000 for
the purchase of Semitic literature. The books relating to the history and
literature of the Jews were collected and placed under the charge of a com-
petent Hebrew scholar and large additions were made to it from the Schiff
fund, which has since been doubled. Immediately adjacent to this was
placed the collection of works in Arabic and other Semitic languages, to
the care of which Dr. Richard Gottheil of Columbia University has given
a portion of his time.
The number of volumes and pamphlets in the Jewish collection is now
about 14,000; it has a special catalogue containing 49,500 cards, and is
much used, more so than any other similar collection in the world.
The Print Department.
In December, 1899, the Board of Trustees decided to establish a print
352 REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
department in the Lenox building, the basis being the collection of prints
in the former Lenox and Tilden libraries. The first important accession
to the department was made in May, 1900, when Mr. Samuel P. Avery
presented to the Library his collection of etchings, lithographs, photo-
graphs, and illustrated works, numbering 17,557 pieces and 82 volumes
in folio and quarto; subsequently Mr. Avery added largely to his gift
and since his death his son, Mr. Samuel P. Avery, has continued to add
to the collection.
Other friends of the department have shown their interest in the collec-
tion by making gifts from time to time, so that there is now in the print
room a total of over 56,000 pieces. These prints proved of material as-
sistance to the 1355 persons visiting the room during 1905.
At present the department contains a remarkably good collection of
19th century French and other etchings and lithographs, including unique
or practically complete series of the works of Jacque, Rajon, Bracque-
mond, Flameng, Mauve, Zilcken, Meryon, Turner, and others. Americana
are well represented, especially in the Emmet collection ; as is also the work
of American etchers, line engravers, and wood engravers of the 19th
century.
The department is weak in the most modern foreign work, has but few
of the notable English mezzotints and stipple engravings, and has none of
the older engravings, /. ^., work before 1700; no Rembrandt, no Diircr,
no Claude, no Marc Antonio Raimondi. It is greatly to be hoped that
these desiderata may soon be supplied.
Besides the gifts above mentioned from S. P. Avery, father and son,
we have received many valuable gifts from other sources. Among these
mention should be made of the 378 prints and 90 drawings by A. B.
Durand from John Durand; 1,763 Japanese prints and chromo-xylographs
from Charles Stewart Smith; 909 prints from H. R. Storer; 345 etchings,
many of them by Americans, from Frederick Keppel; 990 prints (over 1400
pieces) from Charles B. Curtis; 628 prints by James Smillie executed
between 1825 and 1885, and 295 by other artists, from James D. Smillie;
a unique collection of proofs by F. Juengling, from William Miller; from
the estate of Robert F. Blum, a representative collection of his etchings;
and from many American artists, such as J. Alden Weir, R. Swain Gifford,
Dr. L. M. Yale, E. D. French, F. S. King, Henry Wolf, T. R. Sugden,
George H. Boughton, specimens of their works; and from publishing
firms, such as the Century Co., Harper & Brothers, Charles Scribner's
Sons, Charles Sedelmeyer, many pieces of artistic merit.
Exhibitions of prints have been constantly made in the Lenox galleries
during the last five years, and have attracted many visitors.
REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE 353
The Circulation Department.
In 1896 the Library had no books for circulation. In this connection,
however, it was stated in the address to the municipal authorities asking
the aid of the City in obtaining a new library building, presented March 25,
1896, that the circulation of books from the new building could be pro-
vided for and that ** if further funds can be supplied . . . sufficient to
establish and maintain an adequate number of branches for circulation, it
is certain that the City of New York can and will have a free public
Library on the broadest and most comprehensive plan."
At that time about 19 libraries and branches in the Borough of Man-
hattan, all belonging to private corporations, were engaged in the circula-
tion of books, the total yearly amount being about 2,000,000 volumes.
There were no free circulating libraries in Richmond or in the Bronx.
The funds granted by the City for the support of the Manhattan libraries
in 1896 amounted to $63,500.
On January nth, 1901, the New York Free Circulating Library, hav-
ing eleven branches, consolidated with the New York Public Library, thus
providing the basis for a circulation department, which has now been in
operation five years.
On March 12th, 1901, Mr. Andrew Carnegie formally offered the City
to supply funds for building branch libraries in New York City and certain
adjoining counties on condition that the City should furnish the sites and
agree adequately to maintain the libraries when erected.
This offer was accepted by the City; a legislative act authorizing it to
establish and maintain a free public library system became a law April
26, 1 901, and on June 17, 1901, an agreement was executed between the
City and the New York Public Library (as agent for Mr. Carnegie), pro-
viding that the City furnish not .more than forty-two library sites in the
Boroughs of Manhattan, the Bronx, and Richmond, upon which sites the
Trustees of the Library were to erect buildings with funds provided by
Mr. Carnegie. By an amendatory agreement, signed March 26, 1902,
the number of sites to be furnished by the City was increased to fifty.
These sites and buildings the City leases to the New York Public Library
so long as free branch libraries are maintained therein, and the City
agrees adequately to provide for their maintenance. Thus suddenly and
unexpectedly it became necessary for the Library to examine carefully the
whole City, to divide it into appropriate districts, and to proceed to pro-
vide circulation for each, considering at the same time the work of the
corporations then engaged in circulation.
The contract with Mr. Carnegie contemplated the furnishing of ten
sites in each year and the erection of buildings thereon. In 1901 the City
354 REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
supplied one site, in 1902 six, in 1903 four, in 1904 seven, and in 1905 five,
being in all twenty-three sites, upon which sixteen branch libraries have
been erected, equipped, and opened to the public. Three more are nearly
ready and the remaining four are in process of erection. It is hoped that
at least seven more sites will be supplied by the city during the year 1906.
In the meantime other corporations engaged in circulation consolidated
with the New York Public Library or turned over their properties, namely,
the St. Agnes and Washington Heights Free Libraries in 190 1 (August i
and December i respectively), the New York Free Circulating Library for
the Blind on February 21, 1903, and the Aguilar Free Library, with four
branches, on the 24th following; the Harlem Free Library, the Totten villa
Free Library, the Webster Free Library, and the University Settlement
Library on January i, 1904; and the Cathedral Free Circulating Library,
with five branches, on January i, 1905 — constituting practically all of the
Libraries in the city engaged in the free and public circulation of books.
The circulating department now (June i) includes 34 branch libraries,
of which 18 (namely, Chatham Square, Rivington Street, Hudson Park,
Tompkins Square, Muhlenberg, Sixty-seventh Street, Riverside, Yorkville,
St. Agnes, Ninety-sixth Street, Aguilar, One Hundred and Twenty-fifth
Street, One Hundred and Thirty-fifth Street, Mott Haven, Tremont,
Kingsbridge, Tottenville, and Port Richmond) are in Carnegie buildings,
7 in buildings owned by the New York Public Library, 6 in rented quar-
ters, and 3 in quarters rent free. The number of volumes in these libraries
is 543,955; the number of volumes circulated in 1905 was 4,116,750, and
the circulation this year will probably be over 4,500,000.
A system of interbranch loans has been established by means of which
a reader at any branch can obtain for his use any book in any other branch.
The travelling libraries circulate about 500,000 volumes a year through
about 421 travelling libraries, containing from 11 to 8,000 volumes each.
These are sent to schools, clubs, fire-engine companies, department
stores, etc.
All appropriations by the City for public libraries in Manhattan, The
Bronx, and Richmond are now made to \he New York Public Library for
the support of its circulath)n department, the amount granted for the year
1906 being $411,830.00.
The Bulletin and Other Publications.
The publication of a monthly *' Bulletin" for the Reference Depart-
ment was begun in January, 1897, and nine volumes have been completed.
It has proved itself a useful instrument for the announcement of the
activities and resources of the Library, and for securing in exchange pub-

lications of other libraries and of learned societies that otherwise would
not have come to us. It has presented plans, views, and descriptions
of the new building and of various branches, the annual reports of the
Director, special reports of the committees of the Board, announcements
of such events as the Carnegie gift and the consolidation of free circulating
libraries, not to speak of current events month by month.
It has also contained selections from our manuscripts printed in full or
in such extracts as would best show our resources in unprinted sources for
historical investigation, and detailed lists of such manuscript collections
as our Washington papers, the Andrew Jackson papers, and similar col-
lections. Practically every number has contained a list of our books on
some topic of interest, covering such different fields as literary annuals,
general geographical atlases, bimetallism, bridges, Cervantes literature,
constitutions and political rights, electricity, fish and fisheries, Nathaniel
Hawthorne, Ireland, matriage and divorce, naval history, prices and wages,
the Shakers, woman, etc. The material relating to New York City was of
such extent as to require the first six months of 1901 for its publication;
similar lists relating to New York State and to Brooklyn were printed
about the same time.
The ** Bulletin** printed in 1897-9 an elaborate record of the manu-
scripts, prints, maps, etc., contained in the Emmet collection; reprints
of these lists, with a separate continuation, gave a complete record of the
Emmet manuscripts, making a volume of some 560 pages, printed in the
summer of 1900.
In the spring of 1900 a '* Handbook'* was issued, a small volume of
64 pages, intended to give in brief compass the necessary facts and sug-
gestions for making an intelligent use of the Library; a second edition,
bringing the statistics to date and adding a chapter about the circulation
department, was issued in 1905. In all 2,500 copies of the Handbook have
been printed and sold.
In 1901, Mr. Avery issued at his own expense a ** Handbook of the
S. P. Avery Collection ** of prints and art books, a volume of 84 pages,
giving an introductory statement, the rules of the print-room, a list of the
engravers represented, and of the art books, etc., in the collection.
In May, 1901, was begun the publication of a *' Monthly List of Addi-
tions '* to the Circulation Department, which is now in its sixth volume
Besides its regular lists of new books it has printed from time to time
short lists of the material in the department relating to various topics of
interest, and these lists have proved of much interest to the readers using
the department and to other libraries.
356 REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
General Conclusions — Needs of the Library.
From the data above presented, it is evident that on the completioi^
of the new building the City of New York will possess a free Public
Library on the broad and comprehensive plan which was recommended
to the Mayor in the address presented ten years ago, in that the second
largest collection of books of reference in the country will then be open
to the public under most advantageous surroundings, ample accommo-
dation will be provided for students in the technical sense where serious
study and investigation can be pursued in special rooms with easy access
to the books required, and at the same time the circulation of books^
will reach all classes in all parts of the City. This has been made possible
by the cordial co-operation of the municipal authorities, and one of the
most satisfactory proofs of the progress which has been made in the last
ten years is the interest manifested by the Mayor, the Comptroller and
other members of the Board of Estimate, in the work of the Library, as-
shown by their approval of the estimates of the Board of Trustees for the
funds needed to construct and equip the main central building, to furnish
sites for new branches, and to maintain in full efficiency the circulation
department.
The gift of Mr. Carnegie has had great influence in producing this-
result; and the people of the City owe him a large debt of gratitude for
his very opportune liberality.
The progress made by the Library in its circulation department has^
been relatively greater than in its reference department, so far as increase-
in the number of readers and the number of books are concerned; but in
the reference department it has also been great, and very satisfactory,,
when the means now available are taken into consideration. On Saturday,
February i8, 1899, there were in the Astor Building 395 readers and
visitors, of whom 335 desk applicants called for 1,665 volumes, the greatest
number on any one day in the history of the Library up to that date.
On Saturday, February 3d, 1906, there were in the Astor Building 78^
desk applicants during the day, calling for 2,468 volumes, and 97 addi-
tional desk applicants in the evening calling for 151 volumes.
With the inability of the Library under the terms of the devise ta
dispose of its real estate adjoining the Lenox Building, the expenses of the
administration and upkeep have required all of its current income; to pro-
vide for the increased number of attendants demanded by the opening of
new reading rooms and the large increase of readers it has been necessary
for the last five years considerably to reduce the sum appropriated for the
purchase of books.
REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE 357
Our current periodical subscriptions now amount to about $13,000 per
year, and we have but $12,000 available annually for the purchase of
books, which is by no means sufficient for the purchase of the works which
are needed and demanded by readers. Every day requests are made by
readers for books not in the Library, but which should be there, and from
these requests only a selection can be made. To enable us to purchase all
the books needed, including costly art books, facsimiles of manuscripts,
etc., of current issue, and to meet the current demands of readers, we
should have at least $10,000 more per annum to expend for books than we
now have. An effort is now being made to obtain this amount annually
for the next three years by means of subscriptions from persons interested
in the work and reputation of the Library, and it is earnestly hoped that
this effort will be successful.
With the Schiff fund for Semitica, the Dugdale legacy for criminology,
the Proudfit legacy for naval history, we have built up groups of materia^
assistance to the scholar and investigator as well as to the general reader.
Similar special funds or endowments are greatly to be desired for a num-
ber of other departments; this attained, the general book funds would be
released for a more satisfactory response to the suggestions of the general
reader. The departmeijits for which such funds would be specially useful
are those of the mechanical trades and engineering industries, art, music,
German literature, German history.
The results of the first ten years' work after consolidation amply justify
the action of the three foundation corporations. By their union the*
scholars and writers of the City have obtained greatly increased resources,
and the great mass of the people have been supplied with facilities for
obtaining books to an extent heretofore unknown. The New York Public
Library already supplies a greater number of readers than any other
library in the world. When the new building is occupied and we can meet
the demands of readers without being hampered by overcrowded shelves
and inadequate facilities for supply and distribution, the City will have a
library system which will be a satisfaction to the public and an object of
legitimate pride on the part of the community.

REFERENCE DEPARTMENT.
New Building.
The year just past has given another twelve month of good progress
on the new central reference building, better even than the year 1904-5;
the winter was unusually favorable for open air work and but a single strike
came in to delay.
Of the exterior marble work, there remains to be set but about seven
per cent, of the total amount, and of this remainder a large portion is cut
and ready for delivery. The lower portions of the building on Fifth Ave-
nue, 40th, and 42d Streets, are finished so far as the exterior is concerned,
except the skylights, and these are practically completed. On the high
portions of the building, which include the main reading room and the
public catalogue room, the work has been carried up to the frieze course
of the main cornice and somewhat above that on the Fifth Avenue wall;
most of the marble for this main cornice is cut and has been delivered
at the building and the steel work for the roof is also on the site.
Of the interior marble work, there remains to be done the cutting and
setting of the greater part of the large vault over the Fifth Avenue rotunda,
and the cutting and setting of steps, and a small amount of floor work;
the three floor halls back of the rotunda, the exhibition room, and the en-
trance and stair halls on the 42d Street side are practically completed.
Stack work was started on July 15, 1905. The contract called for com-
pletion of the first portion — ^the frame work of the main stack — within six
calendar months, i.e. by January 15, 1906. Work on this portion went
along rapidly and with complete satisfaction until the housesmiths' strike
throughout the city was called in December, 1905. At that time the cage
work or steel framing for the main stack had been carried up to the level
of the reading room floor; since then erection work has been at a stand-
still. Factory work, however, has not been affected by the strike, and the
contractors have been able to make good progress in preparation of ma-
terial and have delivered on the site a large amount of stack partitions,
REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR 493
diaphragms, and stairs ready for erection whenever the men decide to
return to work.
Piping for low pressure steam and about two-thirds of the galvanized
iron duct work for ventilation and fresh air supply have been installed.
Boilers and coal and ash conveying machinery are promised for delivery
in August, and it is hoped that the heating plant will be in condition to
use next winter, if necessary.
The contract and specifications for the plumbing work were sent to the
Park Department in January, 1906, and by that Department sent to the
Corporation Counsel; as soon as his approval had been secured, the con-
tract was printed and submitted to the Board of Estimate and Apportion-
ment for approval on June 22. On motion of the Comptroller, the Board
returned it to the Park Department for modification in regard to
several items recommended by the engineer of the Finance Department,
and the Park Commissioner in turn forwarded it to the architects for con-
sideration and report. In their hands it now rests. The Board of Estimate
holds no meeting until September, which will delay action on this contract
until fall or winter.
Drawings for the general interior finish work of the building were sub-
mitted to the Park Department in May, and were approved both by the
Department and the Municipal Art Commission. The specifications and
contract forms for this work were sent on June 30th to the Park Depart-
ment, thence to be forwarded to the Corporation Counsel for consideration.
This contract, covering as it does a large amount of work of great variety
of detail, will probably require considerable time for consideration, print-
ing, and approval.
Drawings and specifications for the electrical equipment have been
submitted by the consulting engineers to the architects, who are now en-
gaged in their examination and revision. The contract for the approaches
work is ready for submission, and probably will be sent to the Park De-
partment at the same time the electrical contract is forwarded.
Readers' Department.
During the twelve months of the fiscal year 1905-6, the number of
readers and visitors that entered the two reference buildings was 216,428
AsTOR having received 156,045 and Lenox 60,383. This is an increase
of 16,190 readers and visitors over 1904-5, the increase being 13,196 at
the AsTOR branch and 2,994 at Lenox. (The increase of 1904-5 over
1903-4 was 16,016, the Astor increase 15,965 and Lenox 51.) Day at-
tendance (up to 6 p. M. at both buildings) amounted to 204,105 readers
and visitors, an increase of 3,867 over 1904-5, Astor increase being 873
494 REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR
and Lenox 2,994. Of the total increase of 16,190 readers and visitors,
12,323 represent Astor evening attendance from 6 to 9 p. m. between Janu-
ary and June, 1906. The daily average of readers and visitors was 698,
or 503-3 at Astor and 194.7 at Lenox. The largest number in any one
month was 24,964 (18,782 at Astor and 6,182 at Lenox), in January, the
largest figures shown on the Library records; the smallest was 10,941 (7,910
at Astor and 3,031 at Lenox) in July, 1905. The largest number in any
one day was 866 at Astor on February 3, 1906, and 751 at Lenox on March
17, 1906. The smallest number in any one day was 190 at Astor on
September 4, 1905, and 75 at Lenox on August 16, 1905.
The total number of desk applicants (that is, readers filling out slips
at the delivery desk, exclusive of those using books on the open reference
shelves) was 173,223 for the two reference buildings, an increase over
1904-5 of 13,528, or 8 per cent., of which increase 11,856 or 7 per cent,
consists of Astor evening service during the first six months of 1906.
This total increase of 13,528 represents a gain of 2,175 ^^ly readers at
Astor during the year, plus the 11,856 Astor desk applicants between 6
and 9 p. M. from January through June, 1906, less a loss of 503 desk
applicants at Lenox during the year. The day service shows a total of
161,367 desk applicants at both buildings, an increase of 1,672, or i per
cent, over 1904-5. (The increase in 1904-5 amounted to 30,823 or 24 per
cent, over the previous year.)
The total number of volumes and periodicals issued to desk applicants
was 778,652, an increase over 1904-5 of 163,198 or 26 per cent., of which
increase 23,201 volumes or 3 per cent, were given out over the Astor
desk between 6 and 9 p. m. during January-June, 1906. The total increase
of 163,198 represents a gain in Astor day service of 140,169, plus the six
months of evening service amounting to 23,201 volumes, less a Lenox
loss of 172 volumes. The day service shows a total of 75545 1 volumes
delivered to readers at both buildings, an increase of 139,997 or 23 per
cent, over 1904-5. The increase in 1904-5 amounted to 91,357 volumes or
17 per cent, over the previous year.
Of the total number of volumes consulted — ^778,652 — ^Astor day ser-
vice gave out 682.379, or 87.6 per cent., Astor evening service gave out
23,201 or 2.9 per cent., Lenox 73,072 or 9.3 per cent.
Of the total number of desk applicants — 173,223 — ^those applying at
Astor during the day amounted to 147,802 or 85.3 per cent., at Astor dur-
ing the evening 11,856 or 6.8 per cent., at Lenox 13,565 or 7.8 per cent
The average number of volumes consulted per desk applicant was 44
for the total at both buildings, 4.6 for Astor day service, 1.9 for Astor
evening service, 5.4 for Lenox.
REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR 495
Of the 705,580 volumes called for at Astor, 125,515 or 17.8 per cent.,
belonged to the class of English and American literature; 93,681 or 13.3
per cent., to Law, economics, sociology, etc.; 84,521 or 12 per cent., to
American history; 80,248, or 11.4 per cent., to Foreign literature; 69,712"
or 9.9 per cent., to Applied science ; 68,637, or 9.7 per cent., to Science.
The largest number of volumes consulted at Astor was on March 21,
1906, when 5,665 volumes were given to 634 readers, an average of 8.9
per reader; the smallest was on November 30, 1905, when 770 volumes
were given to 281 readers, an average of 2.7 volumes per reader.
Of the 73,072 volumes called for at Lenox, 45,299 or 62 per cent.,
belonged to American genealogy and local history, 6,319 or 8.6 per cent.,
to American history, and 3,533 or 4.8 per cent., to Music.
The largest number of volumes consulted at Lenox was on February
17, 1906, when 533 volumes were given to 78 readers, an average of 6.8
per reader; the smallest number was on July 5, 1905, when 67 volumes
were given to 29 readers, an average of 2.3 volumes per reader.
Table I appended shows in detail the statistics of readers and the char-
acter of books called for at the Astor and Lenox buildings.
Comparison of Day and Evening Service.
On recommendation of the Director, the Board of Trustees voted at its
regular meeting held December 13, 1905, to keep the Astor branch open
until 9 p. M. on week days, to extend the closing hours of reading rooms in
six circulation branches from 9 to 10 p. m., and to open twelve reading
rooms in circulation branches on Sunday afternoon and evening, the change
to take place at the beginning of January, 1906.
As to the results of evening opening at Astor six months' time is scarcely
long enough for drawing final conclusions. Whether the evening readers
differ as to their occupation from those using the Library during the day
is not easy to say; we have no means of telling exactly other than ques-
tioning each applicant as to his previous use of the Library, and such ques-
tioning is impossible. The staff has all it can do to provide books called
for, and it is doubtful whether the readers would see the reason for such
a question or would answer it if put. Observation of and familiarity with
day and night readers seem to show that many of the day readers are num-
bered among the evening ones, that most of those using the Library regu-
larly and steadily at night use it also regularly and steadily during the day ;
that there are many new names signed to application blanks at night and
that these new names hold on less regularly and for shorter periods than
those signed to day application blanks. In other words, the Library seems
to be serving a wider circle of readers by this extension of hours, but in
496 REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR
this service there seem to be comparatively few constants in the larger
variable. The recurrence day after day of familiar names and familiar
faces is noticeable in our day work; many of these same names and faces
appear regularly in our evening records ; the group of new names and faces
at night that come regularly week after week is much smaller than during
the day.
As to the classes of books called for by day and evening readers, the
records help us to speak more definitely than as to the personality of the
two groups of readers. For the first six months of 1906 a total of 92,612
readers called for 424,874 volumes at the Astor delivery desk between
9 A. M. and 9 p. M., an average of 4.6 — volumes per reader. Of these
92,612 readers, 80,756, or 87 per cent., were day readers (i,e, applying be-
fore 6 p. M.), calling for 401,673 volumes, or 94.5 per cent., an average of
4.9 + volumes per reader. The 11,856 evening readers, 13 per cent, of
the total, called for 23,201 volumes, 5.5 per cent, of the total number of
volumes consulted, an average of 1.9 volumes per reader. The small num-
ber of volumes called for per reader in evening service seems to indicate
that more reading as reading is done at night and less research work in-
volving extensive investigation, a conclusion that agrees with the personal
impressions of the desk attendants.
Qualitatively night reading differs as much from day reading as it
does quantitatively. In both day and night service the group of American
and English literature holds first rank and geography last. American his-
tory is second during the day but eighth at night. Foreign literature is
second at night but fourth in day time. Economics and sociology are
third during the day but fourth at night. Applied science, technology, use-
ful arts, etc., is third at night, but only sixth during the day. Pure science
is fifth in day time but ninth at night, its rank at night being taken by re-
ligion and philosophy, the later group ranking seventh during the day.
There is less demand at night for foreign history than during the day,
its rank being eleventh at night and eighth in day time. But art and
archaeology, which ranks ninth in day service, rises to seventh at night.
Demand at the delivery desk for current periodicals differs strikingly
from the demand for books recorded at the general desk. Readers of
magazines demand first the technical journals, next turn their attention
to the general periodicals, illustrated weeklies, and the like; English and
American serials rank third in the day time and fourth at night, art jour-
nals, etc., ranking third at night and fourth in day service. Then follow
economics and sociology, and foreign literature, as fifth, and sixth. Science
is seventh during the day, but drops to eighth at night and religion and
philosophy, eighth during the day, rises to seventh at night. Foreign his-
REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR
497
tory, American history, geography, and orientalia then follow in ninth to
twelfth places.
Below is shown in tabular form a comparison of Astor day and even-
ing service for the first six months of the calendar year 1906, indicating
for each of the twelve groups into which we divide our record of volumes
consulted its rank in point of volumes delivered to readers and its per-
centage of the total. The first main column includes books and periodicals
(the latter, current or old, being counted as if made up into volumes) ;
the second main column includes only current periodicals counted by single
numbers.

1906.
Shelf Department.
During the fiscal year the number of volumes received, entered on the
accessions catalogue, and placed on the shelves. was 26,966, of which 14,681
were purchases or duplicate exchanges, and 12,285 were gifts. The num-
ber of pamphlets accessioned during the same period was 8,913, of which
1,038 were purchases or duplicate exchanges, and 7,875 were gifts.
The number of volumes actually received during the year was 58,887,
of which 10,358 were purchases, 11,069 were gifts, 38 by bulletin ex-
change, and 37,422 by duplicate exchange; the number of pamphlets ac-
tually received was 121,332, of which 4,506 were purchases, 31412 were
498 REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR
gifts, 56 by bulletin exchange, and 85,358 by duplicate exchange. During
the year 70,420 pieces, duplicates, were sent out in exchange.
The total number of volumes on the shelves and available for use at
the end of June, 1906, was 684,512 and of pamphlets 265461. These, with
the 565,482 volumes in the Circulation Department, give a total of 1,515455
pieces available for readers.
21,618 volumes and 4,220 pamphlets were reclassified, the largest groups
handled being: art and archaeology, natural history, anthropology, geology,
mineralogy, church history, theology, bibliography, American and English
periodicals.
There were bound for the Library 7,343 volumes, including 641 volumes
repaired outside for the Library, and not including about 1,000 bound
before importation. The Library bindery repaired 1,380 volumes and pam-
phlets, mounted and repaired 6 maps; 8,022 volumes were tied in manila
paper, and 10,741 volumes were lettered and labelled; 385 pamphlets were
stapled or sewed to hold stiff covers, and 64 volumes were repaired with-
out sending to the binders. New shelving was added to the amount of 1,261
feet.
Catalogue Department.
During the year there were catalogued 33,865 volumes and 36,062
pamphlets; the number of cards written was 106,124 and of slips for the
copying machine 33,161 ; from the latter were received 169,987 cards. At
the end of June 1906, the index catalogue at the Astor branch contained
988,880 cards. In addition the separate catalogues contain cards as fol-
lows: General (official), 494,320; documents, 126,911; serials, 56,180; re-
ports, 26,116; railroads, 5,920; Hebrew, 50,000; Oriental, 22,950; Russian,
16,257; making a total of 1,787,534.
The card catalogues in the two reading rooms at the Lenox building
contain 332,720 cards (217,44.0 in the general reading room, 67,120 in the
music catalogue, and 48,160 in the catalogues of genealogies and local his-
tories). In addition to the above, the catalogue of manuscripts contains
29.500 cards; of maps, 24,400 cards; of Americana, 36,700 cards; of in-
cunabula, 3,200 cards; of prints, 31,245; 12,720 cards in various other
groups at Lenox bring the total up to 470485.
There remain unsearched and uncatalogued in the Astor building
about 1 ,050 single volumes, 400 pamphlet volumes, and 44,600 pamphlets.
At the Lenox building cataloguing activities were directed towards fin-
ishing theology, extra-illustrated books, Shakespeariana, and handling the
current work.
REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR 499
Revision of the subject headings in the public index catalogue at the
AsTOR branch was continued.
Periodicals indexed number 1,664 titles (1,576 at Astor^ 88 at Lenox) ;
in addition, 33 periodicals were indexed for the American Library Asso-
ciation co-operative work. These latter are indexed completely, the index-
ing of the 1,664 titles noted above being eclectic, and including only titles
of first importance. The total number of cards written for the New York
Public Library indexing was 15,000 (14,059 at Astor, 941 at Lenox) ; the
total number of printers' slips written for the cooperative indexing was
832, two printed cards being received for each title ; the total number of in-
dex cards added to the Astor catalogue was 12,794.
Besides this work on current periodicals, indexing the earlier volumes of
publications of German historical societies and bibliographical journals has
occupied the full time of one cataloguer.
Periodical Department.
The total number of readers of current periodicals in the Periodical
Department at the Astor branch was 30,551 during the fiscal year, being a
daily average of 107. In addition to the journals contained on the open
reference shelves, 234,612 numbers of current periodicals were called for,
being a daily average of 816 +• These separate numbers, when counted
as volumes, amount to 53444, distributed as follows: General 11,131, Amer-
ican history 578, European history 886, geography 247, art, archaeology,
drama, music, etc., 6,022, English and American literature 7,205, other lit-
erature 2,880, science 1,823, applied science, technology, etc., 15,273, eco-
nomics and sociology 5,714, orientalia 137, religion and philosophy 1,544.
The Library receives at this date 6,053 current periodicals, of which
3,829 are purchases, 1,956 are gifts ,and 268 exchanges for the Bulletin.
105 of this total are daily papers, 861 weeklies, 211 semi-monthlies, 1,722
monthlies, 109 bi-monthies, 686 quarterlies, 82 semi-annuals, 698 annuals
received by purchase, 1,244 of irregular periods of publication.
These 6,053 current periodicals represent a gross increase of 766 new
titles, less a loss of 171 titles discontinued for various reasons, making a net
increase of 595 over the 5,458 reported in July 1905.
Of this apparent net increase of 595 titles 396 represent periodicals that
in earlier years were sent through for filing in the Documents Department
without being recorded or checked with the other serials. These titles
represent in the main such publications as climate, crop, and agricultural
experiment station bulletins and reports, foreign official gazettes, etc.
The real net increase over 1904-5 amounts, therefore, to 199 titles.
500 REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR
In further addition should be noted 7,731 annual publications received
by gift, and 414 in exchange for the Bulletin.
The average number of separate numbers of periodicals (excluding all
annuals) received daily is 476, amounting to 147,543 in the course of the
year.
In exchange for the Bulletin the Library receives a total of 682 peri-
odicals, an increase of 24 for the year; of these 283 are American annual
publications, 131 are foreign annuals, and 268 American and foreign peri-
odicals of greater frequency of publication than annual.
660 volumes of old periodicals were added during the year, completing
important files.
Table III appended gives fuller statistics of the periodicals currently
received.
Documents Department.
During the year there were received of public documents, 12,121 vol-
umes, 9,497 pamphlets, and, up to January, 1906, when this count was dis-
continued, 14,343 numbers of serial publications (626 titles, of which 283
were American and 343 were foreign). 8,485 volumes and 8,678 pam-
phlets were catalogued, for which work were written 126,911 cards and
14,462 slips for the copying machine, these latter being multiplied to 31,244
cards.
The accessions to the document collection have been of a micellaneous
character. Probably the most notable single groups are the eleven volumes
of Pennsylvania votes and acts, secured at the sale of the library of Gov-
ernor Pennypacker, a considerable collection of Liege broadsides issued
during the period of French rule, 56 volumes of Journals of the Newfound-
land Legislative Council and House of Assembly (1855-1889). The Penn-
sylvania lot included three volumes of votes, viz. 1742-3, 1743-4, 1746-7,
and eight volumes of laws, viz. 1751-2, 1753-4, 1758-9, 1765-6 (2 sessions),.
1766-7 (2 sessions) and 1767-8. The Liege broadsides number about 200
pieces, covering the period from 1790 to 1815. From Mr. James Speyer
we received some 400 broadsides, leggi and regolamenti of the States of
the Qiurch for the years 1803-1834.
Our file of navy lists was increased during the year by a set of the
British List of Flag Officers, 1 715-1829, a set of interest as once belonging^
to King William IV. when Duke of Clarence and passing from him to his
son Rear-Admiral Lord Adolphus Fitz Clarence and from the latter to his
sister Lady Mary Fitz Clarence, wife of General Charles Richard Fox;
the set is a companion set to the file of British army lists that had likewise
belonged to the Duke of Clarence and had been on the shelves of tlie
Astor Library for half a century.
REPORT OF THE DIRECl'OR 5OI
A number of Army Registers of the United States were secured from
the library of the late George Thatcher Balch, U.S.A. The earliest num-
ber was for the year 1809 and the set included the rare issue of January,
1863, of which it is believed that not more than ten copies are extant, the
whole edition of 5,000 copies having been suppressed at the time of issue
by Secretary Stanton's order on account of serious errors.
Outside of the regular work of the department a topical analysis of the
economic material contained in American state documents has been car-
ried on by a special corps of indexers, under the direction of the head of
the department. Under the auspices of the Department of Economics of
the Carnegie Institution the results of this work are being prepared for
publication.
Simultaneously with this work on American state documents, a mem-
ber of the staff is combining the record of our separate issues of reports of
institutions, etc., with the record of the same reports as contained in our
files of the collected documents. A specially prepared card of the standard
size is used, and by placing this combination record in the public catalogue,
readers will, for the first time, be advised of all the reports of a given series
which the Library may have. Heretofore it has been possible to show in
the catalogue only what the Library possessed of the separate issues.
During the past year the documents catalogue has been re-arranged,
without, however, disturbing the documents cards in the public catalogue.
The former arrangement had been the usual single alphabet for all politi-
cal divisions regardless of mutual relation. With the growth of the collec-
tion it became necessary to have some means of determining, not only
whether individual serials were being properly continued, but also whether
whole political groups were receiving proportionate attention. The entire
catalogue was thereupon reconstructed upon the basis, first, of political or-
ganizations as at present in force, and second, of administrative develop-
ment within each organization. Political administrations as at present in
force include the various governments of the world and their colonial de-
pendencies and local and municipal governments within each of these juris-
dictions. Each such government together with its subordinate govern-
ments was considered as a political group, the catalogue of each group
being arranged according to the administrative development of that group.
Oriental Department.
The catalogue of the department now contains 22,950 cards. For cur-
rent catalogue work were written 6,173 cards. Accessions amounted to 669
pieces, giving a total in the department of 9,612 pieces.
The greater number of the purchases during the year consisted of col-
502 REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR
lections of Arabic poetry; Arabic treatises on rhetoric, ethics, Muhamma-
dan law, theology and philosophy; and works of Egyptology. The most
important single work purchased was the "Arabic Palaeography. A collec-
tion of Arabic texts from the first century of the Hidjra till the year i,ooo
edited by B. Moritz", Leipzig, 1905, f**. (Bibliotheque Khediviale, Publica-
tion no. 16.)
A list of works in the Library relating to the Oriental drama was
printed in the April Bulletin.
Hebrew Department.
The number of volumes and pamphlets on the shelves of the Hebrew
Department is now about 14,900. The readers, as in past years, number
about 30 per day and call for about 75 volumes. The special catalogue of
the collection contains about 50,000 cards.
Important additions were made to our collection of Rabbinical decisions,
and to the groups of law codes and of Hebrew and Judaeo-German litera-
ture. With the lot of 170 volumes of Rabbinical decisions added during
the year, we now have about 500 volumes of these important works.
During the preparation of the Jewish Encyclopaedia the Department was
called on to furnish much material for the workers on the undertaking;
this enterprise is now completed, but with the starting of a similar com-
pilation in Hebrew we shall have another valuable test of the extent, use-
fulness, and worth of our collection.
Slavonic Department.
The additions to the Slavonic Department amounted to 506 volumes and
180 pamphlets, bringing the total in the department to 7,942 volumes. The
number of volumes catalogued was 506, of pamphlets 180, and of articles
indexed 400 ; for this work 2,902 cards and 400 slips for the schapirog^raph
machine were written. The catalogue of the department now contains
16,257 cards.
The number of readers was 10,713, an average of 893 per month against
808 in 1904-5. The number of books consulted for the year was 18,501.
Evening service during the first six months of 1906 recorded 1,819
readers, an average of 303 per month ; the number of books and periodicals
consulted by these 1,819 readers was 2,633.
Among the new accessions may be mentioned the new Russian dailies
of the constitutional-democratic party "Nasha Zhizn", "Rus", and "Ryech",
and the monthly magazine "Byloye" (giving the documentary history of
the Russian revolutionary movement), "Obrazovanie", "Pravo", and
REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR 5O3
"Vsemimy Vyestnik"; also the collected works of Lyeskov, 36 volumes in
6; of Machtet, 12 volumes in 6; Tan, 6 volumes in 3; Sienkiewicz, jy vol-
umes in 14, and Feldman's "Wspoleczesna Literatura Polska", 4 volumes.
Print Department.
The number of prints accessioned during the year was 952, which, with
59 added to the Avery collection, brings the total number of separate prints
in the department up to 56,835 ; unaccessioned material in the shape of
duplicates, newspaper clippings, and other pieces of like nature numbers
67,759 pieces. The print room was visited by 1,373 persons for the pur-
pose of consulting prints. The visitors to the picture galleries numbered
38,998, of whom 14,334 examined the prints in the exhibition cases. 44
volumes and 17 prints were sent to the general reading room for the use
of readers. 4,738 cards and slips were written. The catalogue now has a
total of 31,245 cards.
Exchanges.
During the year there were received by the Library on exchange ac-
count 37422 volumes and 85,358 pamphlets, and there were sent out dupli-
cates in exchange to the number of 31,426 volumes and 70,420 pamphlets.
In exchange for the Bulletin there were received 268 periodicals, 283
American and 131 foreign (total, 414) annual publications, and 60 separ-
ate volumes and 85 pamphlets.
The Bulletin.
Volume 9 of the Bulletin for 1905, contained 592 pages, 40 pages less
than the preceding volume. Of the check lists printed between July, 1905^
and June, 1906, worthy of special note are the lists of works relating to
bridges and viaducts (August), bimetallism, gold and silver standards (Sep-
tember), marriage and divorce (November), woman (December), Ben-
jamin Franklin (January), the catalogue of the Becks collection of prompt
books (February), works on government control of railroads, etc.
(March), works relating to the Oriental drama (April), and to beggars,
mendicants, tramps, vagrants, etc. (May)
The January issue contained besides the list of books, manuscripts, and
portraits by or relating to Franklin the text of a number of his letters on
file in our manuscript department, and two letters from the President
of the Board relating to new points in Franklin's artistic and literary ac-
tivities. In the March number we printed a number of interesting letters
from Spencer Roane, the Virginia jurist, covering the period 1788-1822;
in April a series of letters from John Adams and Samuel Adams, 1776-
504 REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR
1797, and from John Quincy Adams to George Bancroft, 1834-1838; in
May a report of the British Board of trade and plantations made in No-
vember, 1702; and in June a selection from the correspondence between
Admiral Lestock and Lieutenant General St. Clair and the Duke of New-
castle relating to the L'Orient expedition of 1746.
•
Exhibitions.
Exhibitions at the Lenox branch were as follows : the collection of color
prints relating to the Russo-Japanese war was continued on view until Sep-
tember 2^^ when it was succeeded by an exhibition of works by Adolf von
Menzel, who died in February, 1905; this comprised original lithographs
and etchings, book illustrations, reproductions of paintings and drawings,
portraits of Menzel and books and articles dealing with him and his art.
This was withdrawn on January 9 to give place to an exhibition of books,
manuscripts, prints, etc., put on view on January 15 in commemoration
of the two hundredth anniversary of the birth of Benjamin Franklin. On
April I the Franklin prints were succeeded by an exhibition of American
etchings, a selection designed to afford a view of the state of original or
painter-etching in this country during the past thirty-five years. On June
29 this gave way to a selection of etchings by and after Meissonier, includ-
ing work by Bracquemond, Le Rat, Courtry, Jacquemart, Rajon and other
noted French etchers, reproductions of Meissonier's paintings, books and
prints by or relating to him.
In the lower hall at Lenox were continued the selections from the gift
of the Century Company designed to illustrate methods and processes of
engraving; selections from the Charles Stewart Smith collection of Japan-
ese prints were likewise shown throughout the year. The exhibit of prints,
portraits, and other material relating to John Paul Jones was continued
until November 25, when it was followed by a collection of dry points,
etchings, etc., by J. Alden Weir, and three etchings by the late John H.
Twachtman. After the Franklin exhibit was removed in April a few
lithographs of the late Eugene Carriere and some reproductions of his
works were placed on view on April 12. The San Francisco disaster
called out our copy of the large panoramic photograph of the city taken
by Eadweard Muybridge in 1895, and the death of Carl Schurz led to the
exhibition of a number of his portraits and caricatures.
At the AsTOR branch the exhibition of Schiller portraits and prints was
continued until September 7, when it was succeeded by plates from "Mo-
derne Ziermotive fiir Kunst und Gewerbe" and from Brechemacher's "Mo-
derne Kunstschmiedearbeiten". These in turn gave place on November 27
to plates from Souslow's "Monuments de Tancienne architecture russe" and
REPORT OF THE DIREGTOR 505
the Paris facsimile reproduction of the "Works in Architecture of Robert
and James Adam". On January 31 these were followed by color plates
from "L'Estampe modeme". During February-April plates were shown
from "A collection of 36 reproductions of Quentin Matsys" and from
"Handzeichnungen, Steche und Gemalde von Lucas van Leyden" during
February-May. Reproductions of paintings given in the "Royal Collec-
tion at Buckingham Palace" and plates from "Dekorationsmotive der Maler-
^eitung" (colored plates of wall and ceiling decorations) were put on
view during May and June.
The print room furnished exhibitions for the swinging cases at circula-
tion branches as follows :

506 REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR
Purchases and Gifts.
Book purchases have been along the same lines followed for the last ten
years. Our book funds allow us to buy but a fraction of the books de-
manded or needed by readers; consequently our purchases have been con-
fined to those lines most needed and most in demand. Nearly one half of
our allowance for books is required for subscriptions to current periodicals
and for completing the broken files of earlier years. The remainder allows
us to purchase a portion of the books we need in American history, in the
economic and social sciences, technical and industrial arts, and a few other
groups or special collections such as the Proudfit collection of naval history,
the Dugdale collection on criminology, etc. The gift from Mr. Jacob H.
Schiff for Semitic literature is enabling us to build a well rounded collec-
tion on this subject, a fuller and better balanced collection than we could
have made with our funds alone. We have made few purchases in geo-
graphical literature, art books are as a rule too costly for our means, our
accessions in the biological, mathematical, and physical sciences are prac-
tically confined — except the periodical literature — to gifts.
As gifts we have received important material from the President of the
Board of Trustees, and from Mr. Cadwalader, Mr. Dodge, Archbishop
Farley, Mr. Kennedy, Judge O'Brien, Mr. Schuyler, and other members
of the Board.
From Mr. James Speyer we received a valuable collection of over 150
volumes relating to numismatics, art, and German history.
Mrs. Henry Draper has continued her extensive g^fts in art, folk lore,
witchcraft, etc., and Mr. Sam. P. Avery has sent in much material of like
nature to that given by his father during his long connection with the Li-
brary. William K. Bixby, Joseph L. Choate, F. A. Sorge, are names of
donors that have been mentioned in former reports and come up again this
year. The Prince of Monaco sent us a valuable set of the printed reports
of his oceanographical researches. The estate of the late Heber R. Bishc^
made the Library one of the depositories of the sumptuous work on jade
issued by direction of Mr. Bishop. From Clement B. Newbold we re-
ceived the privately printed catalogue of the Anna Dike Scott collection of
old laces. Captain Mahan gave us transcripts of the logs of seventeen Brit-
ish men-of-war and of twenty-four packages of letters, made from the orig-
inals in British archives, relating to Nelson and Naples in 1799. From
the Suomalaisen Kirjallisuuden Seura of Helsingfors came an exten-
sive file of their publications.
A number of American artists have shown their appreciation of our
print room by providing us with specimens of their work. Through the per-
REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR 507
sonal attention of two members of the staff our collections of German-
American literature and of Swedish-American literature, both current pro-
ductions and earlier publications, are growing steadily in extent and interest.
As usual the American Agriculturist, the British Museum, the Century
Association, the Christian Herald, the Churchman, Cooper Union, the Even-
ing Post, the Methodist Library, the Publisher's Weekly, the Scientific
American, the Comptroller of the City, the New York Board of Trade and
Transportation, the French and Japanese consuls, have sent us large num-
bers of useful papers, books, and documents.
German-American Collection.
Public attention was first called to this collection in March, 1902, when
an exhibition of books, manuscripts, portraits, etc., was opened at the Lenox
branch. The scope, of the collection includes history, biography and gene-
alogy of the German element in America, the literary and scientific works
produced by Germans in this country (both in the German and English
languages), German works on the United States, and everything about
the various relations between Germany and the United States. Until Octo-
ber, 1903, acquisitions were made only by purchase, but about that time
was begun a systematic solicitation of gifts, as the want of a special fund
for the collection allows but a slow growth. On the occasion of the Schiller
centenary in 1905 an effort was made to secure all souvenir publications
and newspapers with accounts of the celebrations in the United States,
resulting in a collection of about 100 souvenirs and over 200 newspapers.
During the past year 587 volumes and pamphlets, besides 308 numbers of
newspapers were received from 208 donors; during 1904-5, 431 pieces and
38 newspapers from 144 donors; during 1^3-4, 568 pieces and 26 news-
papers from 122 donors. The gifts came from 122 cities in 31 states of
the Union, and from Canada, Germany, and Austria. The principal bene-
factors have been Mr. Henry Metzner of New York and Rev. John Rothen-
steiner of Fredericktown, Mo., each of whom has donated over 200 pieces
since 1904. Our purchases since October, 1903, amount to 275 titles, which
with those on hand before that time and the gifts received as above men-
tioned give us now over 2,000 titles of German-Americana. We are under
obligation to many German-American papers for having printed editorials,
articles, and short notices about the collection.
Mr. Richard E. Helbig, assistant librarian in the Lenox building, has
given special attention to this department and the increase in the collection
has been due mainly to his zeal and energy.

At the end of the fifth year since the execution of the contract with
the City relative to the gift of Mr. Carnegie, the City has acquired 20 sites
in the borough of Manhattan, 3 sites in The Bronx, and 4 sites in Rich-
mond, making a total of 27 sites in all.
Table IV hereto appended shows the present condition of the work, de-
tails of acquisition, etc. In addition the City has approved of 5 general
localities in which additional sites are to be procured, 3 of which are in
Manhattan, i in The Bronx, i in Richmond.
At this date the following building is completed and nearly ready to

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR 5O9
The Department now includes 35 branch libraries, an increase of 4
during the year. These are distributed as follows among the three bor-
oughs under our jurisdiction:
Branches, Branches,
Boroughs: 1905: 1906: Increase:
Manhattan 27 30 3
Bronx 2 3 i
Richmond 2 2 o
31 35 4
Of these 25 occupy their own buildings (18 erected with the Carnegie
fund, including all those in the boroughs of The Bronx and Richmond), 6
are in rented quarters, 3 have quarters rent-free, namely, the Webster,
Sacred Heart, and Epiphany Branches, and one, the Library for the
Blind, is now situated in the new St. Agnes branch building. For six of
the ten branches thus specified as without permanent quarters, Carnegie
buildings are in course of planning or erection.
Seven Carnegie buildings have been opened during the year, all but one
(the Tremont Branch) in the Borough of Manhattan. Three are occupied
by already existing branches — Aguilar, Muhlenberg, and St. Agnes —
and the remaining four by newly organized branches — 13STH Street, Tre-
mont, 96TH Street, and Hudson Park ; but the Tremont Branch has the
books and good will of its predecessor, the Bronx Free Library, whose
trustees have maintained their organization to act as an advisory committee
for the branch. For the four new branches the usual preliminary work was
begun several months previous to the actual opening of the library, the
branch staffs being partially organized for the purpose. The branch was
opened for the registration of borrowers about ten days earlier in each
case, than the opening for circulation. Formal opening exercises were held
in all cases where the building was for a newly-established branch. In the
case of the Aguilar Branch the building, although erected from the Car-
negie fund, was an enlargement of an older structure, and circulation had
been interrupted for only a few days at a time. In that of the Muhlen-
berg, the use of most of the building for temporary department headquar-
ters made it impossible to find space for an audience.
When formal exercises were held, they consisted of the delivery of the
building to the city by a representative of the Trustees, its acceptance by
an officer designated for the purpose by the Mayor, and its re-delivery to
5IO REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR
the Library for administration in accordance with agreement. These rep-
resentatives were as follows for each of the four formal openings :
Branch: Trustees: City:
135TH Street (July 14, 1905) Francis C. Huntington, Esq. Hon. Alfred J. Tallcy.
Tremont (July 22, 1905) Dr. Arthur E. Bostwick. Hon. \Vm. Harman Black.
96TH Street (Sept. 22, 1905) Charles Howland Russell, Esq. Hon. Wm. Harman Black.
Hudson Park (Jan. 24, 1096). . .Hon. George L. Rives. Hon. Patrick F. McGowan.
In addition, addresses were made by residents of the neighborhood and
others specially interested, and by the Director or the Chief of the Depart-
ment; and music was furnished through the courtesy of friends of the
Library or of local organizations, among which should be mentioned the
band of the Hebrew Orphan Asylum (135TH Street) and the pupils of
Public School No. 8 (Hudson Park).
The dates of opening of the three branches where no formal exercises
were held were as follows: Aguilar, November 29, 1905; Muhlenberg,
February 19, 1906; St. Agnes, March 26, 1906.
The removal of the general offices of the Department from the George
Bruce Branch, 226 West 42d Street, to the new Muhlenberg Branch
Building, 209 West 23d Street, which took place several weeks before the
opening of the latter branch for circulation, provides adequate administra-
tion quarters until the completion of the new central building. All the gen-
eral department work, except that of binding and of the travelling libraries,
is now concentrated under one roof. The new quarters take up the whole
Muhlenberg building except the main floor and the rear half of the sec-
ond floor, and include space in the basement for the ordering, reception,
and distribution of books for all the branches; offices on the second floor
for the Chief, his assistant, and the financial, statistical, and other clerks;
a large cataloguing room on the third floor, with an ample lecture room
for the training class, and offices for the supervisors of school work and chil-
dren's rooms. On this floor is provided also a staff room for the general
use of the administrative force, distinct from that of the Muhlenberg
Branch. The provision of this space for offices will of course temporarily
crowd the Muhlenberg Branch in its work, but removal from the George
Bruce Branch has enabled us to devote the whole second floor there to the
children's room and a large room on the third floor to the uses of a staff-
room.
Extensive changes have been authorized and are being made at the
Bloomingdale Branch, which will increase its usefulness. A children's
room is in preparation on the third floor, much new shelving is to be added,
and the interior is to be painted and thoroughly put in order, the entire
electric lighting system, in particular, being renewed.
REPORT OF THE DIRECTpR 5II
The experiment of an open-air reading room or library roof-garden
at the RiviNGTON Street Branch has met with such gratifying success that
a similar feature has been incorporated in the plans of three new branch
buildings, that on St. Gabriel's Park (East 36th Street) for the present
34th Street Branch, and those at Hamilton Fish Park (East Houston
Street) and 742 Tenth Avenue (between soth and Sist Streets) for new
branches. These will embody the new features recommended in the last
report and are expected to add much to the convenience and comfort of
the buildings.
Circulation.
The circulation for the year is 4,752,628, an increase of 1,061,128 over
last year. Of this increase 649,639 is the circulation of the four libraries
established since the issue of the last report, and 311,006 is the increased
circulation of four libraries that had not been established a full year at that
time, leaving 100,483 as the net increase of annual circulation of the 28
branches (including Travelling Libraries) that reported for a full year on
June 30, 1905.
This increase of 100483 represents the difference between an aggre-
gate increase of 253,250 shown by 16 branches, and a decrease of 152,767
shown by the remaining 12. Thus the aggregate increase and decrease
of these 28 branches — ^406,017 volumes — represents an average departure
from last year's circulation of 14,500 volumes per branch, or slightly over
1,000 volumes per month for each branch. This probably falls within the
fluctuation from accidental causes that is to be expected with such large
circulation, but it would be even lower were it not for the important in-
creases of circulation due to the removal of some branches to new build-
ings and the decreases in others due to the opening of newly established
branches in their neighborhood.
Tables V and VI appended show in detail the amount and the quality
of home circulation for each branch and for the whole department.
Holiday, Sunday, and Evening Opening.
In accordance with the terms of the contract with the city, branches
occupying Carnegie buildings have been open during regular hours on all
legal holidays. These include some days on which the other branches are
closed, namely: New Year's Day, Decoration Day, Independence Day,
Thanksgiving Day, and Qiristnias Day. The circulation on these days
was as follows:

Since the first of January, 1906, a considerable number of the branches
have been opened experimentally, for reading purposes only, on Sunday from
2 to 6 p. M., and others have been kept open in the same way until 10 p. m.
on week days. In cases where the attendance did not seem to justify the
additional expense the old hours were resumed, in every case but one, how-
ever, giving at least one month's trial. The following records show the

514 REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR
It will be noted that the largest attendance both on Sunday and between
9 and 10 P.M. has been on the lower East Side, and that in some other parts
of the city it has been extremely small, even where the ordinary work of the
branch is large. In some cases this is due to the fact that other reading-
rooms in the vicinity are open on Sundays; for instance, at 96TH Street
facilities for Sunday reading are furnished by the neighboring Young Men's
Hebrew Association. It should be noted that the table gives a report only
of the experimental openings. Besides, these, the East Broadway Branch
has been regularly open for the circulation of books on Sundays from 9
A. M. to 6 p. M., and the four branches of the former Cathedral Free Library
from 10 A. M. till noon. The reading-room of the S9th Street Branch
is also regularly open on Sundays from i to 6 p. m., and both this and the
Webster Branch reading-room remain open until 10 p. m. on week-days.
Tables VII and VIII hereto appended show in detail the number of
readers of books and the reading room attendance for each branch that has
a reading-room.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR 515
The following gives data regarding the library experience and training
of the greater part of the circulation staff previous to appointment, and in •
some particulars since that time:
Library School Graduates: Pratt 7, Albany 3,_Drexel 7, Amherst 10,
Albany Summer 5, Syracuse 10, Chatauqua 4 — Total, 46.
Training Classes: New York Free Circulating 8, New York Public 87,
Astor 6, Private Instruction 32 — Total, 133.
From Other Libraries: By consolidation 115 (New York Free Circulating
51, Aguilar 33, Cathedral 14, Other libraries 17) ; Outside libraries 13 —
Total, 128.
Examinations.
The record of results in the examinations to determine eligibility for pro-
motion, which were held for all grades on May 22, 23, and 24, is as
follows :
CANDIDATES. PLACED ON LIST.
B to A, 18 (including 3 from Class C) 13
C to B, 45 (2 from Class D and one substitute) 22
D to C, 56 (4 from Class E and 5 from Class F) 34
E to D, 72 (including 43 apprentices, 3 substitutes and one
outsider) 42
In the last annual report mention was made of a syllabus of study pre-
pared by the instructor of apprentices as a suggestive help for all members
of the staff ambitious for advancement; a revised edition was issued in
October, 1905, and 292 copies were distributed to assistants. The instructor
reports that the examinations clearly show the results of systematic study
in the staff during the past two years. This would appear from the follow-
ing:
Number Entering Examinations for Class D 1904-06 and Proportion
OF Failures.
1904 — Total entered 56 Failed 29%
Students entered. 20 Failed 5%
1905 — Total entered 51 Failed 60%
Students entered .27 Failed 50%
1906 — Total entered y2 Failed 20%
Students entered 42 Failed 12%
In 1904 examinations for the three upper classes resulted in failure for
50% in each class. In 1905 the proportion was 33% for A and B and 43%
for C. In 1906 it was 11% for A, 16% for B, and 12% for C. Much of the
improvement is doubtless due to the advancement of those from the train-
5l6 REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR
ing classes and the influx of new assistants from library schools, but a good
deal is certainly the result of the earnest systematic efforts of the assistants
to improve themselves.
The following is also significant :
Of those entering examinations for the first time the percentage of those
qualifying has been :
For Class D 1905: 39% 1906
For Class C 1^05: 33% 1906
For Class B 1905: 34% 1906
For Class A 1905: 50% 1906
Training Classes.
8irc
'O
65%

71%
Two classes have been trained for the work of the Circulation Depart-
ment during the year. In all 109 applicants were examined for admission,
of whom 46 were selected and 42 completed the course. Of these 11 became
eligible to appointment in Class D on June ist and 14 others will become
so on completion of their terms of apprenticeship, while 13 more may be
available if reports of their work prove satisfactory — sl possible net result
of 38 students eligible for appointment in Class D. Eight of the class were
also allowed to take examination for Class C, and six have qualified for that
grade.
The class instruction, which was necessarily somewhat condensed owing
to the necessity of preparing two classes, included lectures from eight mem-
bers of the library staff, besides the instructor and her assistant, and seven
from other libraries; and the class carefully inspected libraries in several
near-by cities, besides numerous branches of our own library, under the in-
structor's guidance.
During the year 95 volumes have been added to the special training-
class collection, besides 54 unaccessioned pamphlets, making a total of 700
volumes and pamphlets, of which 278 are accessioned. The use of this col-
lection is open to any member of the library staff.
The removal of the training class to the new headquarters at 209 West
23d Street, where it has a commodious class-room and ante-room, has
proved advantageous, not only on account of these enlarged accommoda-
tions for the students, but because of proximity to the general department
offices and the cataloguing room, which has greatly facilitated administra*
tive work.
Cataloguing Work.
The cataloguing force of the Department, in addition to its regular work
this year, has undertaken to do special work for some of the branches, which
REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR 517
was not attempted before owing to the pressure of more immediate demands.
The regular work of the cataloguing force, including the head cataloguer
and five assistants, as well as some of the work done in the branches, is
shown in the following table :
18,480 cards written for the union catalogue.
70,474 books entered in union shelf list and catalogue.
86,041 cards and slips filed.
5,040 Library of Congress cards placed in union catalogue.
54,969 Library of Congress cards sent to branches.
9,994 Library of Congress cards sent to Astor.
26,235 cards written for Cathedral Library catalogues.
631 cards written for Harlem Library catalogue.
16,040 catalogue cards written in branches.
Three additional assistants were employed on January ist for one year
to do special work mentioned above. The work done by them up to June
30 is shown in the following table :
7,085 cards written for union catalogue.
17,192 Cathedral Library books entered in union catalogue.
4,713 Cathedral Library books shelf listed.
2,552 books accessioned for branches.
8,134 cards written for St. Agnes Branch.
4,942 cards written for Muhlenberg Branch.
5,140 cards written for Kingsbridge Branch.
2,758 cards written for Washington Heights Branch.
6,178 cards filed for branch catalogues.
5,175 Aguilar Branch books entered in union shelf list.
10 shelf list binders re-written.
25,565 cards written for union catalogue.
20,532 cards written for branch catalogues.
46,097 catalogue cards written by Cataloguing Department.
87,666 books entered in union catalogue.
70,003 Library of Congress cards used in all catalogues.
Copy for the "Monthly List of Additions" was also prepared by the cata-
loguers, and proof was read by them.
During the year this publication contained the following special lists,
in addition to the titles of current books :
Ourselves as others see us : Books on the United States written by foreign-
ers; Some stories of school life; International arbitration, peace and war
and kindred topics ; Political conditions in New York City ; Carpentry ; Tex-
5l8 REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR
tile fabrics; Civil service; Plumbing, gas-fitting, heating and ventilation;
Volcanoes and earthquakes.
A classified list of books for the blind and a list of music for the blind
were also compiled in the catalogue office and seen through the press.
The inter-branch loan system has also continued in charge of the Cata-
loguer and her assistants. During the year the messenger has made 41,825
calls for books asked for at branches where they could not be supplied.
These, of course, include many fruitless calls. Record of the number of
books actually supplied to branches on demand in this way has been kept for
only six months. During that time 7,096 books have been sent, showing
an average oi zYi calls to obtain each book.
Only 20 of the branches have been visited by the messenger. Books
requested by the remaining 15 branches have been sent to them by express
through the cataloguing office.
Preparation is now being made to extend the library express service to
all branches, except those in the Borough of Richmond and in the extreme
north of The Bronx, by adding another wagon and driver to the force.
This will involve a corresponding extension of the messenger service for the
inter-branch loan system. The work done by the Library in this way is of
much more satisfactory quality than ordinary branch circulation, and every
effort will be made to extend it and make it more widely known.
School Work.
The work of the Circulation Department with the schools, as outlined
in the two previous annual reports, has been materially broadened and
enlarged. A supervisor of school work has been appointed, and it has thus
become necessary to make uniform throughout the Library those conditions
that affect teachers and pupils of the public schools.
The plan, as before outlined, of placing in each school a bulletin board
for the sole use of the Library has been justified in the results obtained
from 103 such bulletins. The schools wherein the experiment was tried were
assigned to 15 of the branch libraries for their especial care. In every pub-
lic school in the Borough of Manhattan and in all within reasonable prox-
imity to the branches in the Boroughs of Richmond and the Bronx these
bulletin boards have now been placed. In all, including the Hall of the
Board of Education, the Hio:h Schools, the Normal College, the College of
the city of New York, and the various special schools, there are 190 build-
ings wherein the Library now maintains such bulletin boards. Each of the
branches now has its own territory in which it is expected to deal with the
schools. Each branch has been equipped with the necessary special mem-
REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR 519
bership cards, report blanks, and card index file for recording and preserv-
ing lists of books desired by teachers. These cards are also used for record-
ing other details which x^nable the librarian to see that teachers receive the
best possible books for their several purposes.
Nearly every school in Manhattan is within ten minutes' walk of the
branch to which it has been assigned. The majority are within five minutes'
easy walk. In The Bronx and in Richmond, the conditions being different,
the territories of the branches are somewhat larger. In all of the public
schools in the three boroughs, however distant or inaccessible, full informa-
tion concerning the location of the branches, the hours of opening and the
rules governing the issue of books to teachers and pupils will be posted and
revised from time to time. The same notices will be posted in all of the
corporate schools and colleges, to the teachers of which the special privileges
of the Library have recently been extended.
The actual work of the branches with the schools as reported shows a
greater uniformity than for the preceding years. The assistants who have
charge of the work still have it in addition to other labors ; nevertheless, the
results are more uniform and encouraging.
The 15 branches in question report as follows:
Visits paid to schools 434
Cards and notices posted in schools 824
"Monthly List of Additions" sent to schools 11,984
Special cards issued to teachers 73^
Pupils recommended to the Library by teachers 9,86a
Books lost by teachers, unpaid i
Books lost through application blanks signed for pupils by teachers. 161
Elementary school, reference use Z7*^Zi
High School, reference use 5»^59
In addition to the above very much work has been done in these 15
branches for which the individual reports make no adequate or uniform re-
turns. Teachers have visited branches with their pupils on many occasions ;
at. least 50 picture bulletins have been made to accord with the scheduled
grade work, 18 special lists of books for teachers have been prepared, 234
lists of books posted in the branches in connection with the evening lectures
of the Board of Education, 28 story hours have been held in connection with
school work. In general the relations between libraries and schools are
greatly improved, and they seem to offer hopes of effective cooperation and
resultant benefits to both.
It is expected that the supervisor of school work, during the ensuing
year will be able to study the conditions in the schools, to see that the Li-
520 REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR
brary properly meets them, and also that every principal and teacher under-
stands the attitude of the Library and its ability and desire to aid teachers
in their personal and professional advancement. This will be done by means
of talks, addresses to teachers at their weekly meetings in the school build-
ings, and by means of the printed page. To teachers' training classes will
be explained the ways in which the Library can be of use to them and to
their prospective pupils ; and members of every graduating class, elementary
and high school, will be invited to use the Library in continuation of their
education. The evening schools must be treated differently, but in the main
it is expected that the principals of such schools will be asked to direct the
attention of the teachers and students to the books in the library bearing on
the subjects elected. For the elementary schools it is expected that the
committee of teachers for the five upper grades will continue to advise re-
garding the reference work to be done by the pupils of those grades. The
special schools, the nautical school, the truant school, etc., must be treated
in ways not common to all schools. In the main the conditions affecting
these schools will have to be met by the librarians-in-charge of branches in
whose territory they are located, as well as by travelling libraries.
Children's Work.
On January ist last a Supervisor of children's rooms was appointed with
the object of unifying and systematizing the administration of the children's
departments in the various branch libraries. She will begin her work in
Sepember next, and marked results may be expected during the next
library year.
Work for the Blind.
The work of the Library for the Blind has been much stimulated by the
removal of its collection in February, 1906, to the new building of the St.
Agnes Branch, 444 Amsterdam Avenue, where it will remain until the open-
ing of the new central library. The hours have been nearly doubled, the
library being now open on every week day from i to 5 p. m. Books have
been circulated throughout the states of New York, New Jersey, and O^n-
necticut, advantage being taken of the new free-mailing law, and effort has
been made to make the resources of the library available to all blind persons
in this region. Application blanks and catalogues are given for distribution
to the New York Association for promoting the interests of the adult blind,
institutions for the blind have been visited, and the library has been repre-
sented at the formal meetings of the recently formed blind men's club.
Readers are encouraged to order books by telephone and through the other
branch libraries, where catalogues have been placed for their use.
The collection now consists of 2,204 bound volumes and 670 pieces of
REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR 52 1
music, an increase during the year of 190 volumes and 98 pieces of music.
The distribution among the different systems of typography is as follows :
Books. Music.

2,204 670
Nine magazines for the blind are circulated. 9402 volumes have been
issued since July, 1905, an increase of 2416 over the previous year. 1,827
packages were sent out by the mail.
The work of the home teacher has gone on as usual. Some of her
time each week is spent in the two blind wards on Blackwell's Island. She
has made 88 visits, given 230 lessons, and distributed 380 books.
The work of copying on the kleidograph works not otherwise available
in New York Point print has gone on steadily, though with some interrup-
tions, due to increasing demands made on the library. The most popular book
recently reproduced in this way is the new catalogue, several copies of
which have been put into circulation and one kept on the reading table.
The work of collecting reports from all institutions for the blind is pro-
gressing and a bureau of information is assuming definite shape. Numer-
ous donations to the library include books in New York Point copied by
hand by various patrons, and a large number of its publications from the
Xavier Free Publication Society for the Blind.
Travelling Libraries.
The work done through travelling libraries during the past year shows
an increase in circulation of 28,470 or about 6 per cent. A detailed list of
the places to which books have been sent, with the circulation at each, ap-
pears in Table XIII. Of the total circulation more than one half has been
through the schools, as follows :
Day Schools 36,675
Evening Schools 3>352
Recreation centres 107,976
Industrial schools 1 13,964
Individual teachers i»i49
! 263,116
52 2 REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR
From the same table it appears that the circulation has included 4,711 at
fire-engine houses, to each of which 10 books are sent every two months;
12,529 at prisons, workhouses, etc., through the City Department of Correc-
tion, and 38,382 through business houses or companies. The circulation
through home libraries alone has amounted to 17,398. These home libraries
now number 79, and not all of them are for young children, several now
including books for the special study of older boys and girls. The infor-
mation gathered from one of these libraries, in which some elementar>
books on electricity were included, was utilized by one of the readers to fit
up his friends' houses with electric batteries. This is suggestive of a fruit-
ful extension of the work along this line.
Notwithstanding the large increase in the school libraries under the
immediate jurisdiction of the Board of Education we have found oppor-
tunity to supplement these in many places where our aid has been of ser-
vice. Among the new schools supplied with books by us were the four
annexes constituting Public School 98 — temporary one-story buildings un-
der the Williamsburg Bridge — where 21 teachers were supplied with about
1,000 books, and where the circulation reached over 10,000.
The usefulness of our evening school work has been greatly increased.
During the year more than forty teachers in the evening schools were sup-
plied with twelve hundred books. Besides the circulation in the classes the
teachers were supplied personally with many books along the lines of work
and study in which they were engaged.
The model school library was opened to the public on May 11, 1906.
Here are to be found all the works approved for school use and teachers'
reference by the Board of Education, 2,264 ^^ ^t^^- The selection, of course,
is that of the Board, and the collection, which is for reference and not for
circulation, is intended to be of use to teachers who may desire to examine
the books that are on the approved list for their various grades and thus to
make request more intelligently for travelling libraries for themselves and
their classes. The books are shelved by grades, except that in case a book
is approved for more than one grade it is not duplicated, but placed on one
shelf only and included in the proper cross-reference lists, one of which i^
shelved with the books of each grade. The interest shown in this model
library has been considerable, and one of its noticeable effects is an in-
creased demand for kindergarten books on the part of teachers.
The office of the travelling libraries, as heretofore, has taken charge of
various small stations in outlying districts where the services of the library
have been of value but not of sufficient importance to warrant the establish-
ment of a regular branch. In this way, among other instances, we have
taken charge of the High Bridge Free Library, which will be operated by the
REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR 523
Travelling Library office until the establishment of a branch in that locality,
which awaits the approaching construction of a Carnegie Building.
Book Selection.
The selection of books for this department involves increasing care, both
in seeing that no current work is overlooked and in properly estimating
those that are considered. We have been much aided, during the past year,
by the advice of experts in various departments of knowledge, who have
acted without compensation, simply from willingness to do a public service.
Following are the names of these advisors, with the classes of literature
that have been referred to them :
Philosophy, psychology, etc., Mr. Archibald Alexander. Religion,
Professor William Adams Brown, of the Union Theological Seminary.
Sociology, Professor Franklin H. Giddings, of Columbia University.
Education, Professor Samuel T. Dutton, of the Teachers' College. Lan-
guage, grammar, etc., Professor F. T. Baker, of the Teachers' College.
Mathematics, Professor David Eugene Smith, of the Teachers' College.
Astronomy, Professor Harold Jacobi, of Columbia University. Physics
and chemistry. Professor John T. Woodhull, of the Teachers* College.
Natural history, Professor Henry Fairfield Osborne, of Columbia Uni-
versity. Mechanics and engineering, Professor William H. Burr, of Co-
lumbia University. Botany, Professor Nathaniel L. Britton, Director
New York Botanical Garden. Fine arts, Professor Edward Robinson, of
the Metropolitan Museum. Music, Doctor Frank Damrosch. History,
Professor William M. Sloane, of Columbia University.
Order Work.
The work of ordering, receiving, and distributing the books of the
Department now occupies the entire time of three persons, the volume of
books handled in the book-order office sometimes exceeding 1,000 a day.
Special attention has been given to the general improvement of the service,
especially cutting down to a minimum the time between a request for a book
and its delivery to the shelves. This time has been considerably reduced,
owing largely to the adoption of an order-slip in triplicate, one part of
which serves as the bookseller's order, one as the library's memorandum,
and one as the order for catalogue cards from the Library of Congress.
The three parts are filled out at one writing by the use of carbon paper,
and the one retained and filed by the library bears record of the date of each
operation in the supply of the book, from the original request to the placing
■of it in circulation at the branch to which it is assigned. In cases of special
524 REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR
demand a red "hurry slip" is used, which secures immediate attention from
each clerk through whose hands it passes.
Binding.
The great majority of our books, as currently purchased, are not strongly
enough bound to stand the wear and tear of ordinary circulation. The result
is their early withdrawal for rebinding, with consequent expense and vexa-
tious loss of use. We have been placing on the shelves an increasing num-
ber of books put into strong bindings directly from the sheets, with gratify-
ing results. This plan, though involving a larger initial outlay, un-
doubtedly reduces the entire cost of the book to the library during its life,
as well as prolonging that life and practically abolishing withdrawals for
mending and rebinding. Judicious extension of this plan would probably do
away, ultimately, with all expenses for current rebinding.
Statistics Work.
The reception and tabulation of statistics for the entire department take
more and more time as new branches are added to our system. At present
it takes about half the time of one assistant. Each branch keeps its own
statistics book, which is correct to date, and reports to the statistics clerk
at headquarters once a month. The books here are correct to the first of
the current month, and running totals of the chief items are kept so that
the work since the 'opening of the year can be reported upon at any time.
In addition, material for special reports or unusual statistical data which
it may become desirable to know in the course of library administration is
often collected by telephone. All this, which is a matter of little moment
in a small institution, becomes increasingly complex in a system of nearly
40 separate libraries, circulating nearly five millions of books yearly. The
statistical tables (V-XIII) accompanying this report bear witness to the
size of the field over which the work in this line now extends, although they
do not cover the whole of it.
Exhibitions.
Displays of prints and other objects of interest have continued at all
of the new buildings. These include particularly: (i) Exhibitions of prints
from the Print Department at the Lenox Branch in wing frames. By inter-
change of wings between frames these travel from branch to branch at
intervals of about six months. There are thus exhibited at present 14 small
collections, as follows:

Primitive ways of making fire.
(4) Picture bulletins made at the various branches. Some of them show
considerable artistic skill. A collection numbering 82 was placed on ex-
hibition in the Class Room in April and a selection of 24 of the best of
these was sent on request to the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, where it
was used in connection with the work of the Training School for Qiildren's
librarians.
Assembly Rooms.
There are assembly rooms, seating from 150 to 250 persons, at seven
of the new Carnegie buildings, namely, those of the Chatham Square,
Hudson Park, Tompkins Square, Riverside, 135TH Street, Mott
Haven, and Tremont Branches. Of these the one at Riverside is at pres-
ent unavailable, being temporarily occupied by the Travelling Library
headquarters.
An effort to use systematically some of these assembly rooms has been
made during: the year in conjunction with the Board of Education. During
April, 1906, free public lectures were held in the Tompkins Square, Tre-
mont, and 135TH Street Branches, the Board furnishing lecturer and
stereopticon apparatus, when this was used, and the library furnishing the
rooms, lieht, and attendants.

In every case the library was kept open for circulation for half an hour
after the close of the lecture, announcement of this fact being made to the
audience from the platform. The attendance and circulation were as
follows:
AVERAGE ATTENDANCE AVERAGE CIRCULATION
AT LECTURE: AFTER LECTURE.
Tremont 120 4
13STH Street 218 2
Tompkins Square 163 10
Numerous applications for reading cards were also received after the
lectures and probably through their influence; and at Tompkins Square
a marked increase of circulation in Shakespearean literature was reported,
doubtless attributable to the lectures.
Besides the Board of Education lectures, the Tremont assembly room
has been used as follows for free lectures under the auspices of the Bronx
Society of Arts and Sciences :
Nov. 16, 1905. The Hemlock Grove on the Banks of the Bronx River.
Dr. N. L. Britton.
Dec. 14, 1905. Greek Costume. Dr. C. Young.
Jan. 4, 1906. A comparison of the Andes of Bolivia with the Swiss
Alps. Prof. A. F. Bandelier.
Feb. 15, 1906. The preservation of natural scenery, historic sites and
objects. Mr. W. S. Log^n.
528 REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR
Mar. 15, 1906. The Mediterranean. Dr. Thomas G. Toofe.
Apr. 26, 1906. Wireless Telegraphy. Rev. H. Tyndall.
Mar. 24, 1906. Butterflies. Mr, G. Straubenmuller.
The Tuberculosis Exhibition of the Charity Organization Society
was shown in the assembly room of the Hudson Park Branch, under the
auspices of the Greenwich House Settlement, from April 2d to April 23d,
1906, and was attended by 8,517 persons. Illustrated lectures were held
on every evening during the exhibition.
At this same branch a free concert was given on March 28, 1906, under
the auspices of the Do Ye Nexte Thynge Society.
It is expected that the public use of the assembly rooms will be greatly
increased during the ensuing year. Besides the events noted above they
have been used for various staff and library meetings, talks to assistants,
and a course of two lectures by Mr. Cedric Olivers on the mending of
books.
Foreign Books.
The Department now contains books in nineteen living foreign lan-
guages, an increase of seven over last year. The number of books in each
language (excluding some in which we have only two or three books
each) and the annual circulation are as follows:
language: titles: volumes: circulatioh:
Bohemian 918 1,596 'j(fj
*Dano- Norwegian 89 98 ....
♦Finnish 48 52
French 3>i 19 i i>S92 26,163
German 8,537 3i»526 121,709
Hebrew 517 1,096 8,744
Hungarian 320 395 5,946
Italian 231 618 1,008

Yiddish 349 629 7,370
Total 15,482 5i»i96t I90."S
In addition 17 volumes in modem Greek have been ordered.
* Just added.
f Of which number 3,339 are at present unaccessioned.
REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR 529
The number of volumes in the group of ten reported upon last year is
now 50,864, an increase of 12,023. The books in the newly acquired lan-
guages have been placed as follows: Swedish and Dano-Norwegian at
125TH Street, modem Greek at Chatham Square, Finnish at the Harlem
Library, and Polish at Rivington Street.
An interesting collection of public notices in foreign tongues, as currently
displayed on the streets of this city, has been made and was displayed at
the meeting of the American Library Association at Narragansett Pier, in
connection with a discussion of the subject at that session.
The monthly meetings of the staff for the discussion of library topics and
problems were continued with the same interest as usual. Three meetings
were held in the Lenox Branch, one at Astor, one at Ninety-Sixth
Street, two at Tompkins Square, one at Hudson Park, one at St. Agnes.
The good work which the Library has done during the past year under
unfavorable conditions of overcrowding, poor lighting and difficult access to
certain books, has been largely due to the energy and self-sacrificing efforts
of the members of the Staff, and I take great pleasure in calling the attention
of the Board of Trustees to the efficient and harmonious manner in which
their duties have been performed.
Very respectfully,
J. S. BILLINGS,
Director.

other branches remained as before.
The new building for the Webster branch at 1465 Avenue A was opened with
formal exercises on Wednesday, October 24, at four p. m. Hon. Patrick F. Mc-
Gowan, President of the Board of Aldermen, who had been designated by the
Mayor as the representative of the City on this occasion, was unable to be present,
and his place was taken by Hon. Elias Goodman, Vice-President of the Board.
The exercises included an address on behalf of the trustees by Hon. John L. Cad-
walader, turning the building over to the City; a reply by Mr. Goodman accepting
it on behalf of the City; an address by Everett P. Wheeler, Esq., on behalf of the
East Side Settlement, under whose auspices the Webster Free Library was founded
and maintained until its consolidation with the New York Public Library; and
addresses in Bohemian and English by Thomas Capek, Esq., on behalf of the
local Bohemian Advisory Committee. Music was furnished through the kindness
of the same committee.
This building is the nineteenth to be opened of those erected from the Carnegie
fund. The Webster branch was opened as the Webster Free Library of the East
Side House, foot of East 76th Street, April 3, 1894, being named after C. B.
Webster, chief donor of the first building; it was received as a branch of the New
York Public Library January i, 1904. At the time of removal to its new quarters
it had on its shelves 19,571 volumes, of which about 1,600 were in Bohemian, and
it was circulating about 140,000 volumes per annum.
NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN PERCIVAL DRAYTON, 1861-1865.
The Drayton letters printed herewith came to the New York Public Library
from Miss Gertrude L. Hoyt, with the following note :
My dear Dr. Billings
The following letters were written during the war of the rebellion to
my father, Lydig M. Hoyt and to Alexander Hamilton, grandson of General
Hamilton, by Captain Percival Drayton, U. S. N.
He belonged to a distinguished family of South Carolina. His grand-
father, William Drayton, was a jurist in colonial times, and on the adoption
of the constitution in 1789, was appointed the first United States Judge for
South Carolina. His father, also named William, was educated in England
for the law and enjoyed an extensive practice in 181 2, when he was com-
missioned lieutenant-colonel of infantry in the war with Great Britain. In this
service he rose to be colonel and afterwards inspector general. After the war
he became Recorder of Charleston and in 1824 was elected to a seat in Con-
gress which he occupied until 1833. During this period occurred the great
contest over Nullification. In the face of strong pressure brought to bear
by the government of his native state and by his personal friends and relatives,
Drayton steadily and effectively opposed that principle as fatal to the authority
of the United States government. President Jackson offered him the Secretary-
ship of War and the Mission to England both of which he declined. On retir-
ing from Congress, he found his residence in Charleston less agreeable on
account of his position which he had taken in the contest over nullification,
and he removed to Philadelphia where he succeeded Nicholas Riddle as Presi-
dent of the United States Bank, and died in 1846.
The strength of character which inspired William Drayton in his
opposition to nullification, was continued in his son Percival who remained
true to the national government when his native state and his own brothers
had taken up arms against it and when he himself was tempted by offers of
high command in the Confederate service. Born in Charleston. 25th August,
1812. he entered the navy as a midshipman in 1827, became lieutenant in 1838
and saw sea service with the Brazilian, Mediterranean, and Pacific squadrons.
After duty in the naval observatory at Washington, he took part in ordnance
experiments with Farragut, then ranking as commander, and with him formed
an intimate and lasting friendship. In 1855 he was promoted to commander
and in 1858 took part in the Paraguay expedition.
The opening of the War of the Rebellion found him on ordnance duty at
the Philadelphia navy yard. He was placed in command of the Pawnee in
the squadron of Admiral Dupont, who wrote to the secretary of the navy:
587
588 NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN PERCIVAL DRAYTON, 1861-1865
"This steamer, under her zealous and efficient commander, Captain P. Dray-
ton, with her light draft and heavy armament has been invaluable in our
operations on the coast, as well as in holding the inland waters." In 1862 he
was placed in command of the new Ericsson monitor Passaic, in which vessel
he bombarded Fort McAllister and took part in the attack of Admiral Dupont
on Fort Sumter. Of his conduct then, Dupont wrote to the secretary of the
navy : "I cannot close this communication without speaking of Captain Dray-
ton who has been one of my commanding officers since October, 1861. He
has performed this service with that ability, judgment and calm courage
which has ever marked his execution of my orders." In 1864, Drayton com-
manded Farragut's flagship the Hartford and acted as fleet-captain. In his
report of the operations at Mobile Bay, Farragut said of Dra)rton "He is the
fleet-captain of my squadron, and one of more determined energy, untiring
devotion to duty and zeal for the service, tempered by great calmness, I do not
think adorns any navy." At the conclusion of the war, Drayton was appointed
chief of the Bureau of Navigation, and while occupied with that duty, he died
on the 4th of August, 1865.
Sincerely yours
Gertrude L. Hoyt.

and personal matters, such omissions being indicated by the usual

Phila May 19th, 61
My dear Hoyt
I suppose you are at length quite settled down and begin to have a home feel-
ing for the Point and I only wish that I could run on for a day or two, and look at
the place under its new aspect, and get tliat splendid mansion into my head as the
seat of refinement and elegance, instead of a mere place where extra servants and
school mistresses could be conveniently stowed away. I am afraid however that
for some time to come yet, it must remain in my memory as it appeared last
summer, there seems so little chance of my getting away from here long enough
to pay you a visit even of a day. for just as the work on hand seems to be coming
to a conclusion, other appears to take its place, the fact being that at the very
moment when every possible convenience that we have ever had for naval
preparation is required, we have not only lost two of our principal navy yards,
but at the same time immense quantities of stores now very difficult to replace,
particularly the arms, both great and small. We are so near to the immediate
scene of operations, that there is constant demand on us for aid and protection in
some form or other, or rather there was before the opening of the Baltimore route,
the reestablishment of which seems to have produced a very quieting effect on the
publick mind, although I believe myself that nothing but either a large military
force, or the moral effect of constant success to our arms, wiH keep the secession
NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN PERCIVAL DRAYTON, 1861-1865 589
mob quiet. By the bye what does Hamilton think of his friend McLane. I for
one will certainly never have anything to do with him if I can help it, to think
that with all the apparent kind feeling he exhibited for New York and New
Yorkers, that at the bottom there was nothing but bitterness and hatred to the
whole North, where he had received so much kindness, the fact is that slavery
seems to have turned the feelings of the whole community where it exists to
gall, towards all those who do not believe it a divine institution, and one without
which true civilization cannot exist. That were the sword in one hand powerful
enough, they would carry it in the other to the uttermost parts of the Union I
am satisfied, and I do not think that the North have been at all too quick in
stopping the movement. Another four years of Southern domination would have
besides taking all the arms to that section, have virtually inaugurated the Slave
trade, so that by the time the North had again obtained power, it would also have
been a recognized institution. I must confess, that the whole conduct of the
South has destroyed the little sympathy I once had for them, and I only hope
that the designing and ambitious politicians of that section, will be so completely
put down, as to enable the people once more to think for themselves, and see
that they have been lead by just such men as Arnold and Burr, and I believe that
whatever may be the feeling for a moment, that all persons who attempt to destroy
the greatness and unity of their native land History stamps as traitors sooner or
later, and believing as I do that a country can recover from anything except
dismemberment, I hope that the war will be carried on until any party advocating
anything so suicidal is crushed out, and I for one will do all in my power to
further what I consider so desirable
Navy Yard Philada, July 15 61
My DEAR HOYT
In the daily routine of my duties here it seems only a day or two since I last
heard from you although I suspect that some weeks would not cover the lapsed
time, so I think it is proper to delay no longer my acknowledgments for your very
pleasant letter which really contained an immense deal of most important infor-
mation, and completely put me au courant of the events on the river in your
neighborhood. I have been hoping all along that something would turn up to
allow me to run on for a few day-s to your part of the country, but really can yet
see no particular chance of my wishes being fulfilled, as one thing no sooner is
over than another commences. I still do not despair however of seeing you
before the summer is over although it can scarcely be for more than a couple of
days, in the meantime I am so much better oflF than almost all of my brother
officers about here, that I cannot venture to complain. I get up to Torresdale
near by every afternoon, so that at least I sleep comfortably out of the noise
and excitement of the city, and I always manage a ride, and dip into the river
before our seven o'clock breakfast to enable me to bear up against the heat and
590 NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN PERCIVAL DRAYTON, 1861-1865
worry of the town. I should Hke very much to have a talk with you on die
present state of aflfairs, and which would not I am satisfied prove us to hold very
diflferent opinions. Mine I consider pretty clearly expressed in the President's
speech, Grows address, and Everetts lecture, with all of whom I cordially agree.
We have it seems to me still two rather knotty questions to solve which however
will no doubt soon work themselves clear, what is to be done with the nigger
and the privateersman, for we can neither stop one from running away or the
other from taking our vessels by any means of repression that we possess. No
number of ships not the united navies of France England and the U States can
prevent privateers in limited numbers from getting to sea occasionally, or
when there from making captures and I believe that if the Southerners should
be able to steal many vessels that it will create such a feeling as to settle our
nigger policy at once, and cause a general emancipation by order, of all darkies
within reach of our armies. I for one dont believe that their will ever be peace be-
tween the two sections until slavery is so completely scotched as to make extension
a hopeless matter, then I think we may live together in peace, the North satisfied
that a time may be counted on when the institution must wear itself out, the South
contented to make the most of the present, but as to dreaming that two people
are to remain at peace hemmed in between the lakes and Gulph of Mexico, with
entirely diflferent opinions on so many subjects social and political and likely to
clash more and more with every year seems to me utterly impossible. I am
satisfied there will be no rest until we can see plainly in the future free labour to
the gulph or they slave to Canada, there is no middle path. Every one talks
very loud about secession and judging from state papers this is the great cause of
discord. It is all stuff the cause is the nigger and nothing else, and were other
means found more likely to hold him as he is his owner would come out as
strongly for central power tomorrow as the most violent northerner.
I believe that today a compromise can be made securing slavery where it now
is, but not even this for many days more, unless we should be very badly beaten,
a thing not likely. I think myself the Southerners are fighting against fate or
human progress which is the same thing, and the sooner they give in the better.
In the meantime although quite willing to take my share in the struggle I dont
think it would exactly do to force myself forward, but shall remain quietly where
I am until called on. They do not however seem to give me much credit for
scruples in Washington, as the officer in charge of detail excused himself to
me the other day for not having ordered me oflF, but he said that just at present
the fitting out of vessels was too important to permit of a change. It seems
that some one had told him that I was becoming quite restive for service. Should
any chance offer of paying you a visit I will take advantage of it, and in the
mean time shall expect to hear from you particularly if you intend going away
from home as I should not like to come up the river and miss you. Kind remem-
brances to Mrs. Hoyt Angelica and the Children. Hope my god daughter has
not forgotten me quite if you find out that she has not g^ve her a kiss for me,
and believe me as alwavs
Your friend
P. Drayton
NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN PERCIVAL DRAYTON, 1861-1865 591
Navy Yard Philadelphia Augt 19 61
My DEAR HOYT
I have been anxiously looking for some cessation of work here which would
permit me to come on and see you and all my numerous friends in the neighbour-
hood of Staatsburg if only for twenty-four hours, but so far it has been entirely
out of the question. I hope however to be able very soon or when I finish with
the outfits of a flotilla which is being prepared for the Mississippi to accomplish
my purpose of a few days leave. The trouble has been so far that we are so
convenient to the scene of operations that if a vessel requires any hurried altera-
tions or repairs she is generally consigned to us which keeps every one in a state
of constant hurry and more or less worry.
Manassas was a severe blow no doubt although a more disgraceful affair could
scarcely have taken place still that it may have saved us from greater calamities
in the future, as had we conquered there all discipline in an army and efficiency
intelligence or preparation for their duties in either officer or man would have
been looked upon as fogyism, and all the evils from which we have and are now
suffering would have been aggravated ten fold. Whether our men are going
to fight much better in the future remains to be seen but evidently the leaders
do not feel very much confidence in their pluck or they would not so persistently
remain on the defensive everywhere. Now undoubtedly the Southerner has the
great advantage of being in earnest, and having a rule strong enough to turn
whatever material exists to the best advantage. While we are whining about
habeas corpus and all kind of abstractions he is acting, knowing that when arms
are once taken up all other questions are absorbed in the great one of victory
or defeat. We used to talk a great deal about the Americans love of country
I dont believe myself from what we have seen that it exists, or here in the
countrys greatest stress we could not see whole regiments march from the battle
field to the sound of cannon because their time had expired a day and others
deserting by thousands at the first discharge of guns from troops as raw as
themselves. The fact is that I do not see any hope for a country where cowardice
is not disgraceful, and where people who behaved like the fire zouaves can have
the impudence to not only require but obtain a publick reception on their return
from a campaign where they literally proved themselves wolves in peace lambs
in war. Then to think of a Maine regiment mutinying rather than fight, if the
New Englanders who perhaps have had more to do with bringing on the issue
than any others except the Carolinians begin already to desert, what hope is there
for the others. I must confess we seem to be in a bad way between soldiers who
wont fight and the civilians who do nothing but rob. Still all this may be cor-
rected under the strong pressure of events, but we cannot wipe out that page of
history that contains Bull Run. Of course I cannot but feel the utmost con-
tempt for all of that class who believing the quarrel a just one lose heart at the
first want of success, a peace made which should be based on even the mildest
Southern requirements would wipe us out from any respectable position in the
family of nations for half a century with the loss not only of power but of
character, and I for one would rather see the war carried on to the last man
than think of such a thing. The fact is that there cannot be two independent
592 NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN PERCIVAL DRAYTON, 1861-1865
equal nations on this continent, either the nigger or white interest must rule it,
and I think it now that the issue has come worth struggling to keep down the
former. However we will talk over all of these things when I come on which I
hope to be able to do ere long. By the bye what do you think of Gormans
report about the flag of the Minnesota regiment. If the valour of the soldiers
is to be measured irrespective of other reports by that which alludes to the
number of shot holes in the flag, I am afraid that the old dodge of the New
York target companies with their targets will be practised on a pretty extensive
scale with our standards.
However I have not time to write any more at present. I am quite well, do
what I can in the way of exercise, get up every morning except Sunday at half
past five, and consequently sleep like a top when I am in bed. I am afraid I
am behindhand in pedestrianism but I have not time for everything.
Kind remembrance to Mrs. Hoyt and all of the former Staatsburg people
and believe me
Yours most sincerely

My dear Mrs Hoyt
Just before leaving I am sending you a copy of the Vernon gallery which
you seemed once to have admired, in hope that if you should continue to do so
it may serve occasionally to remind you of an old friend, who will most probably
not be by any means as comfortably situated as he would be were he occupying
a room at the Point, his vessel not being likely to afford very much of that
protection against the winter weather which is to be met with in a well estab-
lished house like yours. However if people think that in this world what the
world vahies is to be obtained in its pleasant avenues, they are much mistaken,
and I for one do not expect such a thing, and am quite prepared to take the rough
when it comes, satisfied that it will make the smooth more enjoyable later. My
vessel is not a very large one, but has the great advantage of light draught and
at least one tremendously big gun, which with a small rifle one makes me pre-
pared for any thing far or near, the others answering very well for the ordinary
occasions. I have a quiet nice set of officers, the first Lieutenant being a young
man son of Professor Mahan at West Point, whom I examined at the Naval
school only two years since, so he is young enough at least not to have too fixed
ways and is quite clever. I was to have sailed to-day for our rendezvous, but
am still here owing to the vessels in New York not being ready yet. I was
offered a much larger vessel than the one I am in, the Pawnee, which is lying
alongside of the yard here, but as she is scarcely more than a steam battery,
NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN PERCIVAL DRAYTON, 1861-1865 593
owing to her wretched qualities at sea, I concluded to keep the one which would
be most efficient when outside, and likely to be most active. The Navy Yard
here seems a favourite lounging place of Old Abe and his wife, who are here
almost every day. My friend Dahlgren wants to present me, but I have so far
been always out of the way, but as he is a friend of the family, he offers to take
me up any evening to tea. The city is very quiet scarcely any soldiers to be
seen and quite orderly. I intend if possible to visit the fortifications before
leaving but have not yet had time, the getting a ship ready being very much like
furnishing a house there being always something wanted to completion.
I hope Mr. Hoyt is well again. My brother the Doctor is like him chafing
a little under forced inaction, arising from the same cause, which has been rather
aggravated recently, by the offer of a majority in a cavalry regiment, which is
said to be the best one perhaps yet raised. Remember me to him and with a kiss
for Gertrude believe me as always
Yours most sincerely

Hampton Roads Oct 25 61
My DEAR Hoyt
I suppose you think it almost time for us to be off from this
part of the world and move further South and so we should have done had
the army contingent made its appearance at the proper time. Considering the
weather however that we have had for the last three days it is rather well that it
did not as had we been at sea during the gale of the last few days there would
have been such a scatteration of the vessels composing our force as would have
rendered it extremely difficult to have collected them again in one body, to say
nothing of the chances of collision at night. Where we go I do not of course
know, it being a regular secret of Polchinello only common to Newspaper people
and the general publick. Until this morning I have been piushed out as a kind
of vedette towards Norfolk to guard against any night attack which the large
number of defenceless ships at present here might induce the Secessers to make,
although I dont think such a thing very probable, still it does no harm to guard
against it, as a fire ship let loose in the crowd that at present fills up the bay,
might do much mischief. I fully expected to have met Hamilton here, but I
suppose the cry of all those helpless clients, was too much for him.and he had to
yield. As this is likely for some time to be a rather uninteresting field of operations,
I dont think he will lose much by quitting it. We have collected here at present,
the most extraordinary variety of vessels big and small, that one can imagine,
from the Minnesota and Wabash down to the smallest possible representative of
a man of war, and from the Atlantic to a ferry boat, all belonging to the squadron
594 NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN PERCIVAL DRAYTON, 1861-1865
bound south, which if it does nothing else, will have tended to keep our southern
friends in a most unpleasant state of uncertainty as to what it is after. The
difficulties in the way of combined expeditions like ours are so great and that
very uncertain element the weather is so important a one that it is not astonish-
ing should they sometimes fail. I only hope that ours will turn out all right.
It will at least utilise some of the force which is doing nothing at Washington
except to hold a strong position which ought to be safe with half the force
collected there were it worth anything, and if it is not the mere swelling of its
numbers, particularly now that they seem determined to close the Potomac, is
a positive disadvantage. I thought until the affair at Hatteras the other day.
that the morale of the army had improved, but since the behaviour of the
Indiana regiment there, I have come to the conclusion that another Bull run
might not be impossible.

My DEAR HOYT
I have been intending to write you for some time back, but really have not been
able to find time, and the newspapers keep up such a constant stream of infor-
mation about our movements and supply it so much sooner than can be done by
private hand that I would scarcely venture to attempt encroaching on their
perogativc, which seems to be to keep the hungry maw of the publick filled
whether with lies or truth seems to matter very little. We have been expecting
every day to receive an order to move South but it has not yet come. The fact
is that the army cannot be left until it is self sustaining, which it is scarcely yet.
had it been much more than a mob, which it was not at landing, we could have
had either Charleston or Savannah, for such a panic as seems to have existed
through the low country, can scarcely be described. Bull run was hardly equal
to it as a scare. I really believe that a thousand men could have marched over
the State. Of course all this is now very much changed, and if we do not soon
go in search of them they must and will take the initiative. It is a great pity
that we cannot learn by experience the importance of time in military operations.
NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN PERCIVAL DRAYTON, 1861-1865 595
Ten thousand men could have done more two weeks since, than forty could now,
but they seem to begrudge every man sent away from Washington, and when
there they appear perfectly useless, so far as operating against the enemy goes.
Thirty thousand men sent here two weeks since would have caused every
Southern Soldier to have been withdrawn from the Potomac and McCIellan might
now have his own way there.
I have just returned from an examination of St. Helens Sound, and the
adjacent rivers, which I was ordered to make with my vessel and some of the
Gunboats, and found the same state of things as here, although it is so much
nearer Charleston. I took possession of three forts, which, had the people
remained in them, might have given a great deal of trouble, and went up the
rivers as far as the water permitted and was in about an hour and a half pull of
Mr. Aiken's where I am sure I might have gone with perfect ease, had there
been any object in so doing. Not a white man to be seen anywhere, nothing
but niggers, who were perfectly idle, but very friendly, and ready to work as
long as we wanted. I employed about fifty for a morning to bring off military
stores from Fort Heyward one of the places I took possession of, and I over-
heard one of them say, that they ought to work for us, in return for what we
were doing for them. I asked one fellow whether they told him that we were
coming to carry them off to Cuba, he said yes massa. Well said I did you
believe it. His answer showed I thought some quickness, and was had I be-
lieved it do you think I would have been here. They do not seem to hate their
masters or I think they would burn houses, which they do not, but they have so
completely made up their mind that they are to be free, that I think it will be no
easy matter to retain them, however matters end. I went up to Beaufort about
a week ago. At first sight the city looks as usual (and a very pretty place it is
with a row of as elegant residences belonging to the high aristocracy on the
water, as one often sees,) but open any door and walk in, and you see at once
the change ; every house has been gutted thoroughly by the niggers. I went into
Mr. Nat Heywoods perhaps the finest house there, but found only a piano some
bedsteads and such like articles, too heavy for easy transportation. The shops
had been thoroughly cleaned out. What is singular and goes to prove that
there cannot exist that bitter hatred which has been suspected, there has been no
attempt to fire the buildings. While up the Ashepoo river, I visited Hutchin-
son island and found everything in pretty good order, I suppose considerably
over a hundred slaves as usual doing nothing as the overseer had gone off. They
' seemed delighted to see us, asked me when we were going to free them, and
offered to lead me to the nearest picket of confederates, about two miles off,
when we heard heavy firing in the direction of the Pcnvnee which I had left at
the entrance of the river. Supposing it to proceed from an attack of some of
the steamers which are in the Edisto, on that vessel, I hurried every one on
board of the gun boats, and went down to see what was the matter and on arriv-
ing found that it was a false alarm the sounds being really in the direction of
Port Royal. As I had a great deal more to do, and my time was limited, I was
not able to return to Hutchinson Island. Mrs. March's house there seemed not
to have been disturbed, any quantity of French books no doubt brought by
596 NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN PERCHAL DRAYTON, 1561-1S65
John March lying about, and scattered in different directions letters directed to
Mrs. March, which I brought with me, and now enclose to you for John, to save
them from being read by the first party of soldiers who find their way in that direc-
tion. I also send you an old account book which might have some value from
its antiquity and which was lying with some rubbish on the fioor, and would be
soon pitched aside as rubbish. You see we have got Tybee and I suppose shall
soon the other ports. I was on shore yesterday to tr>' and persuade Sherman
to send men at once to occupy the fort on Otter Island, one of those which I
discovered in St. Helena Sound, and which is the key to every thing in that
part of the country; he was wonderfully impressed with the advantages to be
derived from taking possession of the place, as it not only shuts up St. Helena
Sound but the Ashepoo and Combahee rivers as weU as closes the outlet of
Charleston inland, but as yet nothing has been done and I suppose he will wait
until the enemy return to occupy it. I should take Sherman to be a mighty slow
coach, and I suspect if he does not stir himself the>' will begin to suspect that
the right man is not in the right place. To think of my pitching here right into
such a nest of mv relations, mv brother, William Hevward, Tatnall &c it is ven'
hard but I cannot exactly see the difference between their fighting against me and
I against them except that their cause is as unholy a one as the world [h]as ever
seen and mine just the reverse. Kind remembrance to Mrs. Ho\-t and let me
know how you make out in the country. If you could only get our climate
here you would no doubt find it more pleasant, so far we have had it rather too
warm.

My dear Hoyt
I am ver>' glad to hear from you once more, and cannot but think
that your reasons for deserting the country- at this season are all convincing,
cities being almost as intellectual as the country- is for the physical development of
children, although as Syl's are not yet at the age when the former requires special
attention she can afford to consult her own particular taste or convenience
on the present occasion I should like of all things to drop in on them now at
Marshalls, and see the routine of one day, One thing is at least certain, that in an
economic view, and that is not one of little importance in these times, the Hyde
Park party are right in their course, as they at least are relieved from all those
NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN PERCIVAL DRAYTON, 1861-1865 597
daily demands on the purse, which although not strictly necessary, are scarcely in
a city more to be avoided than if there was a law for them. I have been here
in command of a small squadron for the last three weeks, to which is entrusted
the blockade of the Savannah river, the protection of the soldiers on Tybee
Island, and the repression of Tatnall and his small fleet. I am lying in front of
Fort Pulasky, and a little over two and a half miles distant, quite within range
of any decent sized rifle gun, but apparently beyond any that they possess, the
largest shell that has been yet thrown weighing only twenty pounds, they have
however been gradually nearing us, and two days back came within two hundred
yards, which I am very sorry for, as not being able to do any injury in return
when they begin to throw shot over me, I must move my anchorage, which I do
not want to do, as it is exposed enough to the Easterly winds where I am, and
will become more so the further off I go. I am so much better off however than
the outside blockading squadron, that I do not feel myself entitled to complain.
In the mean time the weather as regards temperature is delightful, as you may
suppose, when I tell you that I have scarcely felt the want of fire, and indeed a few
days in each week may be put down as too warm. I have been kept so constantly
moving about, that this fixed position is becoming a little tiresome, and I am
quite ready to go anywhere, so that it does not take me yet into cold weather, I
do not however as you may suppose with my capacity for reading ever find a
day really too long, particularly as my fondness for German has not in the least
abated, and one of the regiments on Tybee being entirely composed of persons
of that nationality, I find opportunities occasionally of doing a little of the collo-
quial, and do not run the risk which some of my officers do, of being detained by
a sentry from the impossibility of intelligent conversation or explanation. My
cousin Tatnall takes a look at me with his squadron every now and then, showing
an immense admiral's flag to our admiring and wishful gaze, but as he does not
leave the protection of Pulasky there the matter ends. You seem to think with
many others that the question of what is to be done with the slaves, is a knotty
one, I agree with you in the main, but consider that for the present we have
nothing to do better than to weaken their masters, and strengthen ourselves by
holding on to all we can lay our hands on, and this I for one have no scruples in
doing, obeying as I am the most positive directions of the Secretary of the Navy.
My brother referring to one or two reports that I have made on different reconnais-
sances entrusted to me at the North (and which by the way have sometimes almost
been made nonsense of, from carelessness in transferring them to the Newspaper)
thinks I am not sound quite on the Constitutional rights of Slave owners,
and thinks that they cannot be looked upon as persons, my answer to him was.
that when a poor woman comes crying to me for the loss of her children or
husband, but whom she could still join by returning to a state of slavery, of which
I have had many instances, I cannot but think that at least she has two of the dis-
tinctive attributes of the rest of the human race, love of liberty and offspring, and
the acknowledgment of the domestic relations. I have probably seen more of the
plantation negro than any other officer here, and one thing has struck me very
forcibly and that is the entire absence of any idea that he can injure his master,
although I have seen many of this class who had been hunted down like wild
598 NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN PERCIVAL DRAYTON, 1861-1865
animals shot at and even severely wounded. They seemed to have no desire of
revenge, and before anything like a servile insurrection could be probable, there
must be active interference on the part of the whites. This when we think of St
Domingo is not to be accounted for. I sent the other day to my brother another
package of letters for John March, and I wish you would say that the reason I
brought them away was because I did not like to destroy them, and knew that in
a few days our troops would be there in occupation which was the case. By
the bye one of the incidents of my last visit to the North Edisto would certainly
go to prove that the panic incidental to our occupation of Port Royal has not
ceased yet. Supposing the Fort at the entrance of the river to be occupied,
I fired at it to draw a return and make out its character, this it seems so alarmed
a large camp of soldiers near a small town called Rockville, that during the night
they decamped, and when I the next morning learning of their neighborhood,
went in search of them, I found nothing but an empty camp left in such a hurry,
that almost everything had been forgotten, and there were lying about every-
thing that you can think of as appertaining to a soldiers life. I heard afterwards
that there had been nearly a full regiment on the ground, and had they even
thrown out a few scouts to satisfy themselves of our small numbers, they might
have taken myself and the forty men that I landed with prisoners. I felt at
times while busily occupied in removing their tents and other plunder, to the
river, from which they were distant a mile, that I might be picked up and sho^n
about Charleston, but then again I felt assured, that people who had gone off in
the way my fellow statesmen had, would not be likely to stop short of ten miles
which I afterwards found was true. There was no excuse for this flight as
their force was three times what I could have landed from my steamers, and they
could not have been reached by our guns. What a pity that we had not sooner
had some of McClellan's idle soldiers to take advantage of this state of feeling.
I am afraid however that we shall never do anything until it is thought possible
for soldiers to move beyond the protection of gunboats and fortifications. At
present so far as I can judge from what I see and hear no one seems to dream
that an army should be able to protect itself. That Savannah could have been
taken by a regiment within forty eight hours after the Port Royal affair I have
not the least doubt. Now it is altogether different. The last mail brings me a
vQTy savage letter from some one who signs herself a southern lady. It is dated
from Philadelphia. If the poor creature had an idea of the amusement that her
effusion has afforded on board ship she would be very shy of writing any more.
As regards myself I feel such a contempt for the whole party and their nigger
principles that I should almost feel degraded if I thought any of its members
could think well of me. It would certainly be strong evidence of lukewarmness
on my part towards that side which I have taken from the sincere belief that it
represents not only the higher and lower law but civilization on this side of the
Atlantic at least. I am not one of those persons who looks for an immediate
end of the war, and think it will most likely in some form or other last my
time and have quite made up my mind, that Gymnasiums, horses, excursions to
the North River &c &c are things that I shall have no more to do with, until I
shall at least have ceased to care much for anything attended with bodily exertion.
NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN PERCIVAL DRAYTON, 1861-1865 599
and this kind of life that we lead tells on people if I am to judge by the change
that a few months has made in my friends here. Some of them seem to have
grown older in a few months than they did in years before. One cause for this
I however to a great extent do not suffer from, and that is worry, and loss of
sleep. I try and I think with success to take things quietly, and manage not-
withstanding all the talk about fire ships night attacks &c to get about as undis-
turbed nights rest except when the weather is very bad as I ever did at Staatsburg.
I think with you that the Mayors position must be one of extreme delicacy unless
he has entirely eradicated Southern sympathies which can scarcely be the case
with Southern property. By the bye on my last reconnaissance I was in sight
of Mr. Aikens buildings and had I been so disposed could I am sure have occupied
the plantation, which however nothing but positive directions would have induced
me to do. On the same occasion at Mr. Seabrooks I found in his deserted house
a whale's tooth that I had given to his wife fifteen years ago. I would like of
all things to have an after dinner talk with you of a few hours and go over with
you all that has happened since we met last, for it seems to me that it is more
irksome than ever to write, and I shall never be able to say on paper a tythe of
what I should like to.
Tell Mrs Hoyt that I trust my Christmas present did not duplicate any of her
books, if it did she must have no scruples in either exchanging it or giving it to
some of her friends, taking the will for the deed.

I had almost forgotten to tell you what I have always thought of the Slidell
affair, and that is, that it was just such another piece of unjustifiable bullying as
that of Ingraham, which was so successful that Wilkes could not resist the
temptation also of a little cheap glory, that we can get law for it although no one
has been able to show it yet perhaps, but supposing it so it is law founded on
decisions made at a time when the tyranny of the seas was at its height, and to
support it some law was necessary. However if law is an excuse for everything
Shylock was right, and a man should prosecute every friend who owes him five
dollars. Like Bull run however I think the lesson we get is almost worth the
cost. We were nearly, for the gratification of a little hate, about to sacrifice
the future of the country for the next century, and from what I can see we are
not yet quite sure of being out of the scrape yet. England is afraid if she lets
us off. Then to get out of it in such a sneaking way, makes the matter ten times
worse an honest backing down would have been respectable in comparison.

U. S. S. Pawnee

My dear Hoyt
I have been absent now from this our Southern federal capital for
three months, and would not now have got back, were it not that it was absolutely
necessary to return for the purpose of replenishing my stores, which owing to
such a long absence from head quarters, have almost given out. I think if there
is any indebtedness in the way of letters it is on your part, but as you are like a
ghost, I will speak first, desiring as I do to hear what you have been doing with
yourself this winter. We have now a spell of cold weather here, the last I
suppose for the season. At Fernandina where I have been for near three weeks,
we have been suffering from heat and mosquitoes, and having passed through
the cold stage, we shall now look for the regular annoyances of a Southern
climate during the coming six months, if the war lasts so long which sang^ne
people think however it will not, but of which I have my doubts, not that I dont
believe in our continued victories, both seeing and hearing of the utter demorali-
zation that apparently exists everywhere south, but still the terribly bitter feeling
that pr evades niggerdom is such, that I am afraid the union feeling on the resus-
sitation of which peace must depend will be more difficult to bring about than is
generally counted on. There may be some wonderful accident like that of the
battle of Baylen in Spain, to infuse a little spirit into the Southern armies but
without such an occurrence, I can scarcely believe in a stand being made any-
where. The panic after Bull run is nothing to what is showing itself in the ranks
of those who were then victors. Why the places they have deserted in this
neighborhood, if occupied by men, might have defied the navies of the world.
At Fernandina I could with my ships company alone, in the shore batteries, have
blown out of water three times the number of vessels that we had to attack them,
and strong points in the St. Johns River were deserted without even spiking the
guns, so situated that ours could not even have been elevated to bear on them.
You can scarcely conceive anything which more completely indicates a general
distrust in their powers, than what I have lately seen myself, and all accounts
from the West and I hope soon from the Potomac show the same thing. Still
we must not be too sure yet of the result. As we can scarcely expect to hold
the South as a conquered people, at least with any comfort, the difficult part of
the operation will still remain, even after armies and navies have performed their
designated duties. I for one can see no peace while the slavery question remains
imsettled, and while any portion of the community consider it a higher and
more holy duty, to sell niggers than to have free institutions or civilization, and
so far I doubt if our victories have as yet even weakened this belief. I must
confess that after what I have seen here, of the horrors of the institution I would
be willing to do anything except to destroy the Constitution that the power to do
evil to ones fellows which can be and is exercised in many cases here, should
within some named time cease, but I believe that to make this feasible there must
be a great deal more fighting. We meet here as you may suppose, with a good
many remarkable cases bearing on the nigger question. One particularly which
one of the officers related to me the other day would answer for Greeley. On
NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN PERCIVAL DRAYTON, 1861-1865 6oi
Doboy Island, near St. Simons and Brunswick, they found one poor old man left,
and fearing he might starve an offer was made to take him away, which he
refused, as he said he had buried his wife only a little before on that spot, and
preferred dying there. Some one asked. him but have you had no children, yes
massa thirteen but they were all sold for pocketmoney, and now that my wife is
dead I am all alone. The officer who related the circumstance says, that the
piteous manner in which this was said, so affected his companion and self that for
some time neither felt like speaking. We have another fellow at present on
board of my ship, who had been living in the bush for a year, because as he says
he was so cruelly treated that death was better than being a longer subjectted to it.
And he must be a pretty determined fellow, for he has been shot at, and bears
many marks of what he calls nigger dogs. Now I dont want to take away prop-
erty enjoyed under the safeguard of the Constitution, but I do say that these
horrors should cease by law in the nineteenth century.
Unless they get some steamers to bear on us, I think from all appearances
the brunt of the war as regards the Navy is nearly over, the sea coast has been
deserted except in the immediate vicinity of the stone forts, and they can only
be taken by the army unless we get the Monitor down here. There is a report
that one of these Monitors is preparing at Savannah, if so I suppose we shall
«ome of us be treated a la Cumberland, for there seems to be no more use in
attempting to penetrate their hide, than that of some of the fabled knights in
-enchanted armor. However the Cumberland has proved that one may even be
sunk creditably, after having passed through the storm and cold of winter,
for we have had both in quite sufficient quantity, we may now prepare ourselves
for the heat and insects which the people here seem to count on to pay up their
oppressors both of which we were even beginning to have a taste before I left
Femandina, to which place I return to day. Let me hear from you, and with kind
remembrance to Mrs. Hoyt and a kiss to Gertrude I am as always

602 NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN PERCIVAL DRAYTON, 1861-1865
U S S Pawnee
Fernandina April 22 62
My dear Hoyt
In your letter just received you mention that John March feels very
indignant at the manner in which Hutchinson Island has been treated. As I
suppose that some of this indignation may be directed against me, and would
not like to be misunderstood by any one, connected with persons from whom I
received so much kindness as the Major and his family, I will here repeat what
I may in previous letters have perhaps already stated, in reference to my visits
to his mothers plantation.
The first one was made in the latter part of November, and at that time, the
cotton houses overseers house, and attached outbuildings had been burnt, and
many slaves taken away, the dwelling house was open and in a state of great con-
fusion, the furniture having been to a considerable extent removed. I remained
only a short time and allowed nothing whatever to be touched. There were at
this time present a number of slaves but no white person. I returned about the
tenth of December, when I found that every thing had been destroyed except
tlie dwelling house a few outbuildings, every negro house had been burnt to the
ground, and no slaves were left except a few of the old and decrepid. Almost
everything had been removed from Mrs. March's house, and the whole place
was a scene of perfect desolation, all the work of the secessionists.
My only reason for removing the letters was to prevent their falling into the
possession of our soldiers, who I knew would soon be there, and it was evident
from their being scattered about in every direction on the floor, that the persons
who had taken away the other things, did not think them worth the trouble of
removal. As it was not until after my second visit that any of our people came to
that part of the country, whatever injury had been done to the plantation, was the
work of the overseer or some of the marauding bands, who seemed to have found
a great satisfaction in that species of patriotism which exhibits itself in the de-
struction of their neighbours property. That all the vandalism of their own people
was attributed to us in Charleston papers is very natural, and a true story could
scarcely be looked for until the world arrives at that pitch of christian civilization
where people love their enemies. + I am very sorry for Mr. March's sister
but until this matter is entirely settled, her property is not worth the value of an
advertisement in the paper and this is the case with all on the coast. The people
here have referred their cause to the fate of arms, and can scarcely be surprised
at findinq^ themselves in a most unpleasant position when the decision is against
them. My own brother will probably like so many others lose everything, but
although sorry I think he richly deserves it, even more thaln others, because he has
not the excuse of utter darkness and ignorance of right, like so many of his
statesmen. If John March has Southern sympathies, of course he will look upon
neither my acts or those of any other officer of this squadron with much fairness,
but this of course is to me a very little matter, except as it affects me with his
wife's relations, whose good opinion I should be very sorry to lose, although
rather than do what would interfere with the success of this great question of
human progress and world civilization, I feel quite ready to sacrifice every relation
NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN PERCIVAL DRAYTON, 1861-1865 603
that I have got in the world, painful as it would be. If we are not successful I
dont want to live, and if we are there will always be something to look to in the
great future of our country. This is I must confess a little of the highfalutin
style of expression but it seems to me at present to be true. Should you at any
time think it worth while to copy what I have written I think it would be as well
to stop where I have made a cross. You speak of several persons getting into
the Southern ports without difficulty, there is no doubt that many cases of small
vessels running in have occurred,^ although nothing like what is pretended, the
difficulty in blockading is owing to the number of entrances for small vessels on
this coast, many of which we have only found out lately and which even had we
known of sooner it would have been next to impossible to close with the com-
paratively small number of vessels at the command of Du Pont. I dont suppose
that even now we could supply a vessel apiece to them, which would not be enough
even throwing out of consideration the necessity of going away for coal. As
we however now occupy the whole coast, it would be scarcely possible for any
more of this work to be carried on, which having the control of the inner lines
of communication becomes comparatively easy. Charleston is a port peculiarly
difficult to blockade owing to the great distances that the different entrances are
apart. I am satisfied that ten vessels are scarcely sufficient to shut it up, and we
have scarcely ever been able to spare for the purpose more than two or three, and
they of too great draft. As to preventing steamers from running out on a dark
stormy night I dont believe fifty vessels could do that.
Every thing goes on here quietly enough except that there is an occasional
alarm from the so called Guerrillas at the outposts, but it does not amount to
much. I have been off in my little steamer for two days in connection with the
army to try and catch some of them, but could do nothing more than seize a large
quantity of provisions, the want of which will I think prevent their remaining
any longer about here, as the quantity remaining in the State is said to be very
small, and corn worth now three dollars a bushel, which you as a farmer will
understand to be above the market price at which it usually sells. Much obliged
for the Times which has reached me. kind remembrances to Mrs. Hoyt and

I can well understand that in this period of activity you should chafe at

604 NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN PERCIVAL DRAYTON, 1861-1865
«
quietly at home, although that home should even be as delightfully situated a one
as yours at the Point. I assure you that when suffering from the heat and
musquitoes of this Southern pandemonium I look with some longing to that time
when I too may be able again to visit you and the Hyde Park people, but strong
as my desire to do so may be I would not for an instant think of gratifying it
until the country has Peace or I am unfit further to render it service, and indeed
from what I can see there is as much need of men now as at any period of the
war. The South has instituted a levee en masse and we must do the same if
we expect to crush out the rebellion, after the present organized force is once
broken then it will be time enough to discontinue the increase of ours, but not
before, the fact is as regards mere men we are outnumbered everywhere here
overwhelmingly, and I believe now, that were it not for the Navy there is not
one single portion occupied by our troops that could be retained, even now we
are nothing like as much in earnest as our enemies, they are almost insane from
hate and revenge, we in rather good temper and without any as all controlling
idea as that afforded by the nigger to them.
Like every one else I should of course have liked much to have been in New
Orleans fight, which in addition to its being bold and cleverly managed had so
much peculiar to itself to appeal to the imagination, but in war as everywhere
else all cannot be the lucky ones, and I for one shall be quite satisfied if it is
considered that I have done my duty to the best of my ability where ordered, and
so that we are in the end successful will willingly forgo my share of the rewards.
I am here in charge of squadron of eight vessels to keep this river and protect
the positions occupied by our troops, who as you will see met with rather a reverse
a few days ago. The attack made on strong entrenchments about the character
of which we knew little was I think unadvised particularly after giving two weeks
notice of our intention. It was the old story of Bunker hill and New Orleans,
there is a good deal of talking about a failure being being caused from the supports
not coming up, being in the battery and so forth, all of which I am satisfied is
j mere stuff, we never had a chance, the thing was morally and physically impossi-
j ble, and had we succeeded for an instant, the enemy's forces were fast coming
I up in such numbers that the disaster would have been much greater, at least no
j honor was lost as the leading regiments undoubtedly behaved very well. A few
days since I came on Pierre Kane, he is Major of the 47th I think and in tempo-
rary command. I congratulated him on his rapid promotion and told him that
he illustrated the remark attributed to one of our Militia Generals in Europe who
accounted for his high rank though still young from the fact that in young
countries like ours everything even promotion was rapid. I also met at same
time a very intelligent bright looking nigger who seemed delighted to see me
although I had forgotten him and introduced himself as my brothers servant.
He was waiting on the officers mess, but although fat and contented was so shabbily
dressed, that I told him he ought to stril^e for higher wages, which he said he had
been thinking of.
Genl Hunter is a mild amiable gentleman, and no one seems to be able to
imagine how he could have made such a blunder as was the issuing of his edict.
It could merely irritate without freeing a nigger, and was very much as if JefF
NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN PERCIVAL DRAYTON, 1861-1865 605
Davis was to inform the crew of the Pawnee that they were all absolved from
their allegiance to our government.
I really think that if Mrs. Hoyt takes care of you she is doing her duty, and
might leave the soldiers to persons with not so many incumbrances, however the
Southern women are so much in earnest, that I am glad to see a little of the same
spirit North. We will need it all before this question is finally settled, our real
troubles have not yet come yet in my opinion by any means.
If it was only such weather as any one would come into willingly I would
invite you to come and pay me a visit which I could easily arrange now as my
clerk went home the other day invalided from an attack of fever that he caught
at Femandina. Should I be detained however until the healthy season I can
make you comfortable if inclined to come, and if you had a curiosity to hear the
sound of a rifle shot I could put you in the way of it almost any day, as the
batteries outside of our lines and on the creeks where I am obliged to go every
now and then to reconnoitre, never miss a chance of firing at that emblem of
tyranny and oppression the Stars and Stripes.

My DEAR Hoyt
Hamilton tells me that you will probably come down for a little while
when your feet are all right again, as I may have an opportunity of running up
to Hyde Park myself during the coming week. Let me know if you are likely
to come down that we may not miss each other.
As you will probably see from the ridiculous reports in the papers I made
another trip yesterday in the Passaic for the purpose of again trying to fire the
gun without cutting open the turret, to a certain extent it was a success proving
that it may be done if Ericsson will make the chamber which encloses the muzzle
strong enough, which he will do when convinced of what I told him from the first
that the lateral escape of gas from the muzzle of a large gun is terrific and which
was proved yesterday, by the blowing to pieces of his contrivance which he had
previously insisted was twice as strong as necessary, this of course his reporters
did not notice. Ericsson was unfortunately in his youth a Swedish artillery
officer and thinks he knows all about such things, whereas he knows nothing.
From the first I have always told him exactly what would occur, and have been
invariably right and he wrong, just the reverse of which is stated by his reporter
6o6 NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN PERCIVAL DRAYTON, 1861-1865
in the N Y Times, however, if a mans name gets in the paper without his being
called a thief or liar he should consider himself fortunate and say nothing.
There must now be another fixing up which must occupy a few more days
when Ericsson declares the vessel will be ready to hand over. I hope so, for I
am tired of the delays and would rather much be off.
Tell Mrs Hoyt I am much obliged to her for sending the books, and with kind
remembrance

I just have time to send you a few lines to say that I arrived here to day
about two o'clock, after a rather long passage considering the weather which was
by no means bad, although the sea washed over the vessel like a log and com-
pletely flooded everything below, rendering things pretty uncomfortable. This
however would have been of little consequence had it been all, but as we neared
Cape Charles this morning, some of the stay bolts in the boiler gave way, filling
the engine room with steam to such an extent, that it would have been quite
serious had it not been smooth enough at the time to let the hatches be opened for
the escape of the vapour and gas. This will take at least some days to repair,
during which I trust the Merrimac will not make her appearance.
It is quite cold here, far south as we are notwithstanding and the water wash-
ing across the deck as it does all the time, does not add to the apparent warmth,
however this I dont care for, if they would only give me a vessel that could steam
and fight, but that would be expecting too much from contractors who have
fortunes to make, and must I suppose use bad material to do so.
I will not be able to leave here for some days certainly, after my injuries are
repaired I shall most likely go up the James River at least as far as Newport
News, when if there is anything worth telling you I will write again, in the mean
time with kind remembrance to Mrs. Hamilton and many thanks for her Turkey

Your kind letter directed to Hampton roads was forwarded to
me here, where I was sent for certain necessary repairs to the boilers, required
NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN PERQIVAL DRAYTON, 1861-1865 * 607
on account of injuries, owing as the people here say, to inadequate fastenings,
but according to Ericsson caused by mere jealousy. If all is true that is said
about this gentlemans indifference to money, I can only conclude from what I
see, that like Fremont he is unfortunate in his friends and employes. I can
scarcely say yet how long I am likely to be detained here opinions differ so much
according to interests, but I should say at least ten days. As I have every reason
to believe that my vessel was depended on to further and support certain move-
ments intended, nothing could have been more unfortunate than the accidents that
took place.
I have got stoves up and am endeavoring to get the vessel as comfortable as
as she can be under the circumstances, but for the few days after the steam went
down and before I could get stoves it was very much like living in a well such
was the constant dripp dripp. . . .

It seems pretty hard to get off one of the iron clads, and as regards
my vessel we seem only to have changed the scene of operations, from one Navy
Yard to another. The fact is that all of the work appears to have been care-
lessly and cheaply done, and as usual the interests of the country only con-
sidered so far as it accorded with that of the contractors. They say my boilers
which gave way will be ready by the end of the week, although I rather doubt it.
In the mean time finding it scarcely probable that I should be able long to stand
the eternal wet and dampness of my cabin, without any means of heating, I have
taken rooms in town at a kind of private house kept by a colored gent, named
Wormley, who was quite well spoken of by Trollope and I think with some justice,
as it is a comfortable establishment barring the slouchiness and want of order
which seem inseparable from the race which just at present occupies so much of
the public attention. We are overrun with senators and members who wont be
kept out, no regulations being considered to apply to those high functionaries,
and on Saturday we had the President Mr. Chase and some other important
people, the former went everywhere crawled into places that Gerald or Henry
would scarce have ventured in, and gave us a funny story or two in illustration
of the incidents of the occasion. He looks more like a gentleman than I ex-
pected to see, from likenesses and descriptions. My breaking down was most
unfortunate, as from what I can learn, there was some service marked out for me
to perform at once, which has I suppose now been necessarily postponed. I dont
think we shall ever get things right until a contractor or two is severely punished,
as a reminder to his confreres, that the country as well as the individual has
6o8 NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN PERCIVAL DRAYTON. 1861-1865
rights, and is entitled to a little consideration. After the horrid weather we have
had, to day is charming, and even comfortable at as bleak a place as this Navy
Yard. Iron ships are not the most agreeable places of residence at any time or
under any circumstances, but I am satisfied that snow and Northwesters are their
special enemies and I should like to get South as quick as possible to be out of the
reach of both.
The weather was not quite bad enough on my way round to enable me to
judge of what is to be expected from my vessel in a gale, I only know that I
should not have liked to take in more water than we did for about twenty hours,
and if the steam was to give out in a heavy sea I think we should run some risk
of either being asphyxiated or drowned which first I cannot yet decide. I think
if Ericsson could only be persuaded to take a short cruise in one of his inventions
he would learn a great deal more of them than he ever will theorizing about tliem
in his room. Kind remembrance to Mrs. Hoyt and believe me

I have delayed from day to day answering your letter, in hope that I
could tell you that the box which has given you so much trouble had come to
hand, which it did this morning, after no doubt a most painful and eventful
journey as it was shipped on the loth. Expresses like many other things are fast
becoming misnomers in our slouchy country, had I left here at the time that it
was probable that I should have a few days back, I should have been likely to
have spent a small fortune in expenses in this unfortunate box, the whole contents
of which would scarcely sell for very much more than I have even now paid for
its meanderings.
My vessel has been so carelessly finished, that just as fast as one break down
is patched up, another shows itself, and my little practice here has shown me
that had I entered into action with my gun carriages in the condition that they
were, I should have regularly been hors de combat in a very little while. All
this is most provoking, and I begin to rue the day when I got into the iron clad
business, the discomforts I can stand, but not the want of efficiency which be-
comes more and more apparent every day. The fact is that scarcely any thing
promised seems to have been performed and yet as it is almost too late to apply
a remedy we must I suppose use them as they are, and yet with the reputation
of the most wonderful and complete inventions of this or any other age, for my-
self I never have had as much worry in all my naval career put tog^ether, and
what is worse can see nothing to relieve me from it in the future. However all
this is between ourselves and not to go any further, especially to be kept from
people with southern sympathies, for it would no doubt please Jeff to hear any-
NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN PERCIVAL DRAYTON, 1861-1865 609
thing unfavourable of a class of vessels which have already before leaving port
even, frightened the whole Southern Seaboard. You I want to know the true
state of the case, and understand that the Navy which has been kept always out-
side, is not responsible for delays which will no doubt excite greatly the dis-
pleasure of the community, and which perhaps Mr. E will shoulder off if possible.
In the mean time I may be kept here a day or a week it being hardly possible to
say which. Should you feel inclined to run on taking the chance I shall of course
be delighted to see you and show you round the muddiest city I am sure in
Christendom at least. Another freeze would be a mercy so that we could again
travel on the earths surface. I have a room at Wormleys in "I" street a mulatto
concern of some repute here but which would be lost at once if moved further
north. ...

Don't lose heart, one would suppose from all that it said round us, that for the
first time in the worlds history, it is our lot to exhibit unsuccessful generals, and
a war in which our enemies were not wiped out right off. As for our poor
president he is held responsible for all acts, although they seem to be settled for
him in caucuses of governors and senators. The fact is that while our enemies
have entirely dropped the states rights heresy, we are taking it up, and seem dis-
posed to carry it out with a degree of earnestness, that would a year back have
been looked upon as treason. Who can say where a revolution ends and in what.
Halleck gave me last evening the official returns of casualties at Frederickburg
1 152 killed, 1630 sufficiently wounded to be in hospital, and 500 prisoners.
Rather different from what our fears and this infamous straggling lead us to
believe at first, through the reports of the timid and disloyal. There is little
doubt however that our armies melt away somewhat like a Scottish clan, in hard-
ship or ill luck, and will so long as it is considered to be remediable by a change in
the cabinet or the field, and not by punishing desertion. The Prince de Joinvilles
pamphlet gives us I think the key to a good many of these anomalies. Every
morning my vessel is certainly to be ready on the next, things look now pretty
favourable for Tuesday, in the meantime I run some risk of being frozen up at
the Navy Yard. Kind remembrance to Mrs. Hamilton and believe me

My dear Hoyt
I arrived here on the first after being knocked about first in a S W and
afterwards a N W gale for three days, and not very pleasant ones they were as
you may suppose in these infernal machines, which I always thought were only
sea going vessels in the imagination of those persons who were interested that
it should be believed so. At one time I must confess that it looked as if
the Passaic would not last until daylight as the water had got up to within
three inches of the fires and they once extinguished, of course we should
have been soon after, fortunately however just in the nick of time the eng^eers
managed to get the pumps fairly at work and brought the water once more to
my relief and I suspect everyones else below the engine room floor, but we are
safely through it this time so I wont say any more on the subject, and only hope
we will have better luck next time. I cannot however but think from my short
experience that Ericssons invention is about as much fitted to go to sea as a
pleasure boat, and I only wish if he persists in a contrary opinion that he could
be persuaded to try a short voyage to judge from dear experience.
Bankhead of the ill fated Monitor came in here a day or two since. How he
and his crew was saved with the sea that was running at the time is a wonder to
me, fortunately they just saved the moon, or it would have been out of the question,
the boat which was principally instrumental in taking off the Monitors people,
was supposed to have been lost on her last trip, but much to everyones satisfac-
tion came in yesterday having been picked up by a schooner.
Of all the places I have seen this is the most dreary looking, sand pine trees
and tumble down houses. Soldiers are pouring in en route to Newbem what
to do I dont know, but I am sure they will do nothing. I dont see how we can
assist them and that such a disorderly rabble will do anything alone I dont
believe. Before this war takes a favourable turn on the Atlantic, we must dis-
cipline our army, punish desertion or as it is called straggling, and disabuse our-
selves of the idea that numbers in themselves amount to much. I am satisfied that
Burnside has now more men than he can use, and a hundred thousand more would
only tend to break him down quicker, from the difficulty of feeding them. Still
I am quite convinced that barring foreign interference we must in the end carry
everything before us, blunder on as we may, and as I believe that slavery can
only be destroyed slowly, I dont know that this dilatory way of proceeding is not
the surest as it gives the people time for preparation, and will enable them to bear
the shock which the idea of no niggers seems to have for some of them. I dont
know exactly where next, but we shall certainly not be here much longer. When
I can tell you where to direct to me I will write again in the mean time with kind
remembrance to all in the house I am as always

I send by the Abby Allen a Schooner which is taking from here some
prize goods the two books which Mrs. Hamilton was kind enough to lend me and
both of which especially Elsie Venner I think quite good. I dont suppose she
values them very much but as the opportunity offered I thought I might as well
send them. As it is not certain whether the port will be New York or Phila-
delphia if the latter I have requested the officer in charge to leave the package
with my brother who will send it on.
I got under way this morning intending to go to sea but as the wind came out
to the S E thought it better to wait for a more favourable time, although I
believe myself that there is no use in attempting at this season to secure good
weather. It is all a chance, but as I was advised strongly to stay I stayed.
I have repaired all damages and consider myself again in pretty good condi-
tion. As to these vessels being fit for the sea that in my opinion is ridiculous,
and indeed out of Ericssons clique I never yet found any seaman that thought
differently. Of course if a man can make money by an invention his interest
will soon make him really believe it without fault, and Ericsson does not err on
the side of want of confidence. I will of course in my own interest do the best
I can with his machine, and shall probably be disposed, if it carries me through
safely to put up somewhere as a votive offering an iron clad in wax. However
all the worry I have had with the confounded thing since does not equal that
which I went through with the clique in New York while fitting out.
I am bound South where I should like to tell you, so that I could get a letter,
but it is a secret of Polchinello, which everyone knows, but which I must not tell.
Worden is here in the Montauk like myself waiting for fine weather, he had
good weather coming down, but managed to run ashore coming in, lay in a rather
uncomfortable situation for about ten hours.

As I believe I told you before, I cannot write much now, as I find the
continued use of my eyes by artificial light, is more than they can stand. This
will account for my friends not hearing from me as often as I would desire. I
suppose however that in your case the actual want of time, is quite as valid an
excuse as mine of a deficiency of sunlight. The days are now, strange as it may
6 1 2 NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN PERCIVAL DRAYTON, 1861-1865
sound to you in New York becoming as they lengthen warm and it is evident, that
before long I shall be able to manage very well both reading and writing on deck.
I have been here near two weeks, blockading the Wilmington river one of the
outlets of Savannah, out of which the Fingal an iron clad has threatened to go,
bound on some of those excursions of mischief, which to our cause have been
a little too frequent lately. The fact is, that we have had it all our own way so
long on the water, that everyone scouted at the enemy returning to seek us there
even with iron against wood.
It is certainly a little singular that with all our boasted industry our rebel
friends have actually got ahead of us in iron clads, which they build faster than
we can, and which although perhaps not quite such wonderful sea goers as
Ericsson claims for his, answer every purpose required of them, and completely
at least neutralise ours, by the necessity they place us under, of a constant blockade
of every place where one of them is, with one of ours, so that instead of having
any for active operation, we have them absorbed in just such duty as I am doing
here, and Warden at the Ogeechee. By the bye after all the capital that Ericsson
has been making out of Rodgers reports, the vessel has broken down, and will
require I am afraid a long time to put in order. I thought Rodgers was hurraing
a little too soon, he certified to her being an elegant seaboat, before he had seen
what a heavy head sea would do, and generally I think went off as they say half
cocked, which gave E** an occasion of writing a few of those wonderful ingenious
letters of his, in which he invariably keeps back about half the truth, as he did in
one that I saw in the H^ of 29, where he quotes the beam of his vessels 38 ft
and draft 10^ ft, the first being with the side bulwarks which are immersed at
least ^yi ft, 46 ft and the last seldom less than 11 ft 4 inches, and in my case
more. However as I told some one the other day, he must be a bold man who
would undertake to contradict in a New York Paper, the statements of a man the
owner of five millions of Government contracts. So far the history of his vessels
is as follows, Passaic a terrible smash up at the start. Monitor sunk, Weehawken
smash up, [blank] I believe all right as she only arrived yesterday at Port Royal
perhaps I may be wrong. This includes all that so far have attempted long voy-
ages.
Wordens operations on a fort in the Ogeechee the other day, do not promise
much either, for the wonderful xv inch gun, as the effect produced on the earth
works, was pretty much what I told them it would be beforehand, that is very
slight. There is little doubt in my mind, that with very considerable powers of
endurance, the Monitors have only a very limited one of inflicting injury on
either earth works or stone forts, and this arises from their few guns and the
slowness with which the fire from these is delivered. The great advantage is
after all the being able to pass forts without receiving much damage, but this is
to a great degree neutralised where as at Charleston and along the whole Southern
coast, the water is so shallow, as to permit stopping up the channels, and I for
one begin to have serious doubts on the subject of the few iron clads at our dis-
posal, being able to do much towards the reduction of my native city. This of
course would not be an opinion agreeable to the publick. who have been stuffed
to such a point of repletion, with wonderful stories of the power of the iron clads.
NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN PERCIVAL DRAYTON, 1861-1865 613
that like many people who ought to know better, it firmly believes that one is all
sufficient to reduce any place on this continent, even in cases where there is
actually not a sufficiency of water to permit of approaching. In view of my
neighborhood to Savannah where there are not only plenty of troops and steamers
to say nothing of the Fingal and it is said another ram, I have to be very much on
the watch at night, that no Galveston dodge is attempted on myself or my com-
panion a wooden gun boat and feel myself obliged before it is quite dark to shut
up like a tortoise. This we can stand now, but have some doubts of its practica-
bility in hot weather.
I had got so far when the Steamer from the Ogeechee en route to Port Royal
arrives and as I dont want to detain her I must put off all the other interesting
matters which I should probably have discussed. This I must say to you how-
ever that you may not go too far with the Seymourites and other traitors, not
to the state because they may become the majority and even if not have a right to
express their opinions, but to human progress. I honestly believe that should
a dishonorable peace be brought about through their machinations they will
before five years are over be looked upon as Arnolds. When you answer this
which I take it for granted you will do tell me Syl's direction, and with kind
remembrance to Mrs. Hamilton believe me always

Please pay the postage on the accompanying two letters for which I send
fifty cents. I felt myself in duty bound to thank Captain John for his kindness
in getting me the brushes, and recollecting the Navy register, which however
has not yet reached me, perhaps your man can trace it up through Adams express.
The echo of the mishaps off Charleston, is just reaching us here, and I suppose
the publick will pitch into Du Pont and the Navy Department, both of whom did
their best with the means, the fault being, that on the day of the disaster there
were only two real iron dads on the coast, and of these the Montauk was block-
ading the Ogeechee, which had she not done the Nashville would have been out,
and I just ready for sea again having left that very day to come here to stop
another rat hole, and not too soon, as the Fingal did make her appearance three
days afterwards in the upper part of this river, and would have undoubtedly
come down had she caught our wooden vessels alone. The papers have hum-
bugged the Publick long enough about Charleston. It is the Richmond of the
South, and not to be taken because we want it. I suppose that all the shot in my
vessel and Wordens would scarcely amount to the number of guns that defend
6 14 NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN PERCIVAL DRAYTON, 1861-1865
it, to say nothing of every thing in the way of obstruction, from stones piles
and torpedoes, that human ingenuity can devise, besides three iron plated vessels.
It is all very well to flatter the mob of ignorant people, with the idea that they
shall have what they want, but in the present case means are required which have
not been supplied, and should an attempt on Charleston fail, and result, which
in that case it must, in the loss from stranding or otherwise, of some of our iron
clads good bye to the coast, for although we talk largely, I dont know where the
vessels are to come from in the next six months to replace the present iron ones,
except from the Southern ports where they can make people work. For the first
time yet I begin to dispair a little of the future, and not on account of external
foes, but for the enemy within us, composed of that large class of people, who
dream that they can get peace, without national degradation under present circum-
stances, or rather pretend to so believe, for no one in his senses can think .for an
instant, that the South victorious, will be satisfied with anything short of the
Missouri Compromise and all slave states, to say nothing of Washington and the
reopening of the Slave trade. I am satisfied of one thing that no peace man will
dare show his face in two months after it is made, and yet without a draft, there
will be nothing else left, and a dr^ft must come from above and not below. Jeff
Davis and the Southern Oligarchy, have the necessary coercing force. Our
republican form, which is so much decried for its tyranny has it not. however
as I could very well write for an hour, without then saying anything that you
would not already have heard, I will drop the subject.
Glad to hear they are so comfortable in Lafayette place, that you are so at

My dear Hoyt
I have not I think written to you for some time and my excuse for it
is that I find the dim day light or constant use of candles is so ruining my eyes
as to warn me that I had better use them less.
I have been here just a month, for a short term of which we were kept on the
qui vive, by all kinds of reports of the positive intention of the Fingal iron clad
to come down, as well as the purpose to try to carry my vessel by boarding some
dark night. As the Fingal has however after coming as far as the Thunderbolt
batteries just above me, and where there are obstructions, has returned to
Savannah, and the boarding if ever thought of, has now become an old story,
we are back again to the usual stupid condition of things, where your enemy has
obstructed every avenue of approach to him, and wont come to you. I feally
hope however that something decisive one way or the other will take place before
the hot weather catches us, for although I can now shut up at night, and thus
make things pretty safe against those favourite night attacks of the enemy, this
will be impossible much later without a risk of suffocation. No doubt you are
all looking with anxiety for the taking of Charleston, which has been so long ago
promised that people must be a little tired of waiting as they have been so long
doing for Richmond. In regard to the first I am glad to see a slight lowering
in the tone of the papers, which with many much better informed, really believed
that a couple of iron clads would carry, what I verily believe when the shallow-
ness of the water, the obstructions of every possible kind used to make it shal-
lower, and the number and size of the guns which defend every approach, is
taken into consideration, to be almost the strongest place by sea in the world &
not taking into consideration torpedoes, which are strewed about like autumn
leaves, or iron clads which alone are three to our four, originally supposed to be
abundant for our purpose, although there has been every where so much loose
talking you find that when the time for action draws near, those responsible for
success and failure, begin to look a little more seriously into the question, which
is by no means a trifling one, for failure will probably lose us this coast, attended
as it must be with the destruction of some of our iron clads, or what would be
worse should they be stranded, a most likely thing, their getting into the hands
of the enemy, two iron clads two months ago, would probably be equal to four
now, and so it will go on every delay requiring a considerable increase of force,
to produce the same result. Who is to blame for the non performance of con-
tracts as even committees of Congress cannot or wont discover, it would not do
for me to surmise, but I think the elder Napoleon, would have shot some one, as
an example to encourage the rest at least. The fact is, that with the most inade-
quate means up to a short time ago, the Confeds had more iron clads afloat than
we had, and if there had been only a very little of that enterprise existing, which
our sympathisers with sesech give them, they might have cleared this coast out
clean, before Worden and myself got here. As at Bull run however, the golden
opportunity was allowed to pass, never I hope to return, an enormous advantage
is still possessed though, which is the facility of concentrating on any one point a
6l6 NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN PERCIVAL DRAYTON, 1861-1865
superior force, or at least appearing when not expected, through means of this
wonderful inland navigation, through the swamps and bayous, the entrances to
which are defended by forts, and obstructions of every kind, the latter preventing
a destruction of the fort, the former the removal of obstructions, which it is
impossible to do under fire except by some of the patent modes supplied by
torpedo men and other quacks, who are not to carry them out, but only to receive
the money for it. The fact is a little singular, but almost all the planners of
desperate enterprises, and particularly of those almost hopeless, never go to the
war, where their great courage and indifference to risk would produce such an
inspiring effect on the timid people who really do the fighting. All the on to
Richmond class keep out of the smoke to see plainer perhaps. As we now how-
ever have about as manv iron clads as can be collected before hot weather I
for one hope that the attempt on Charleston will be made very soon, hit or miss.
I suppose like many others you are considerably worried at the growing dis-
sensions among ourselves, where I think the true danger lies, for if only united
and in earnest the South cant hold out I think for more than another year, of
course no one except perhaps a few traitorous leaders know what is intended,
for peace with the South at present not only means utter disgrace, but the loss of
the territories, and as I believe that our people are as mad after cheap land as those
of the South after cheap niggers I am sure that when it becomes apparent that the
land can only be secured by force there will be a second Sumpter rising, with a more
solid foundation for the enthusiasm, which being for something which appealing
directly to the interest of the community may last longer, one ill result of the
foolish talking of the North is to inspirit the South, as I saw from the conversation
of some people whom I took the other day in a Schooner running the blockade
with cotton, they seemed to think the republicans would be soon forced to give up
the war, and we ought not to be surprised at this when we remember how the report
of a few union people being found somewhere in the mountains is worked up by
us.

I had just finished the last sheet and should have continued further at that time
had a steamer not broken in on me with orders to come here and try the fort
which has alreadv stood the Montauk on two occasions and which was an obstruc-
tion to reaching the Nashville. In pursuance of this instructions I came round
the next day and w^ith two other iron clads the Patapsco and Nahant went up on
the morning of the 3d having the support of three Mortar Schooners at 4000 yards
distant, which were about as much use as if they had been in New York and a
lot of wooden gunboats which however I would not allow to come within range
of the enemy's guns, I went as close as the water would permit twelve hundred
yards, and commenced on the fort which was about as solidly built as it could be.
earth being plenty and consequently notliing to prevent thick walls, tliere I
remained firing aw^ay with only the intermission necessary to repair a few acci-
dental disarrangements from half past eight until half past four when my men
being completely fagged out and the ammunition nearly expended I left, satisfied
that I might keep on as much longer without sufficiently destroying the work, to
NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN PERCIVAL DRAYTON, 1861-1865 617
make it untenable, and indeed I am convinced that as a rule, all the injury that is
done to works of this description in the day may be repaired at night. As the
principal object of the expedition had been obtained the day before I came, with
destruction of the Nashville the Admiral thought another attack unadvisable, so
I am going back to Port Royal to fix up for anything else that may be required.
I had not a casualty on board, and I believe the only blood shed on our side, was
from my face, which was struck by some pieces thrown up from the deck by one
of the enemys shot, which came when I was outside directing the firing and
which I had not observed in time to get behind the turret. Whether they were
equally fortunate I cannot say, although we could scarcely have knocked the
work as much out of shape as we did, without killing some one. Their battery
was a pretty powerful one consisting of seven heav>' guns and a mortar. The
true defence of the river is however first the shallow water, which prevents near-
ing the fort, and then the obstructions across which prevent ascending the river,
and which cannot be removed until the fire of the fort is silenced, and if you want
to quiet the good people of New York against Warriors and Gloires, just recom-
mend them to do just what has been done to every Southern river and harbor,
stop up theirs in such a way, that the iron clads cant float over, and they can
sleep in their beds as quietly as if there was no such thing as war, for although
all non combatants think it the easiest thing in the world to pull up piles and other
such encumbrances to a channel under fire, no one has yet been found any where
at home or abroad, that can succeed in doing it, while shot are smashing your
boats and killing your people, for it is not with these as with floating obstacles as
those in the Mississippi were, and where you pull out a key or cut a chain a
matter perhaps of a half an hour at the utmost, when the whole concern floats
away and you are done with it. Why the good people in Savannah to let the
Fingal out the other day, were not only obliged to use gunpowder to clear away,
but to occupy a whole day and this when the people in fort Jackson were assisting
instead of firing at them. However I cant write an essay on this subject, as my
eyes wont stand it, and perhaps it would require almost that to make all of this
plain, or to clear away one half of the rubbish that the Newspapers have been
so steadily piling over the subject, one thing is very certain that opinions must be
changing somew^here, for it was thought at one time generally that a couple of
iron clads with Ericssons wonderful xv inch guns, could destroy Gibralter in a
couple of hours, and even fort Darling seems to have produced very little effect in
undeceiving. The fact is that from the start every one has been trying to fill the
publick maw with something pleasant, from Mr Sewards three months to the
immediate occupation of Richmond, Vicksburg and Charleston, the two former
of which, will I think hold out until we discover that discipline is necessary to
any army, and that when desertion is punished with a fine of twelve dollars they
may change the generals every month and still do nothing, for although we are very
fond of attributing groat military successes to the genius of the chief actor, we
will always find this quality somewhere connected with a wonderful severity of
rule. This is not a pleasant view of the subject to take to our people, who prefer
believing in an easier and more pleasant mode of doing things, where every one
is to volunteer and not be coerced to stay when it becomes irksome, and even as the
6l8 NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN PERCIVAL DRAYTON, 1861-1865
Prince de J says expects to leave the field when he has done what is considered
a days work.
As you may suppose although the human part of my vessel escaped, I am very
far from being able to say the same of the wood and iron, although such a fuss
is being made about anyone giving information on these subjects, that I cannot
say more at present.
We have now six iron Clads lying together near me at Port Royal where I am
finishing this letter, having got here last evening, enough to do something to
attack Charleston at least, perhaps to take it, but certainly not without some of
them being destroyed, if from no other cause through exposure to the heavy sea
of the outer harbor, for which we are so little prepared. However with the
kindest feelings towards ones neighbour, we are always trusting that he will be
the recipient of the ill we of the good luck, in which there is great comfort. If
this is rather more scrawly than usual, you will understand the reason when I
tell you that I am now doing as I am most of the time obliged to, write on the
back of a book whenever I can find light and be out of the wind or cold.
Tell Syl when you see her that I could not write by this opportunity, but will
do so by the next, and with my kind remembrance to Mrs Ho)rt Angelica and
the children I am as alway

My dear Hamilton
Since writing to you yesterday I have received your letter of the 4th
inst. and although I sent one to you last evening, as there are one or two things
to be answered in yours just received, I might as well do so by the Florida, which
leaves this afternoon to bring down as I understand another iron clad, as the
belief in the difficulties which are to be met with in Charleston harbor, seem at
last to be forcing themselves on the Navy Department, and as such acts have
more meaning than words, I take it for granted that the opinions which I have
always expressed on this subject, will not be found to differ much from those
which everyone is arriving at. One thing I think in addition has not received the
attention it deserves, and that is the reported iron covered batteries in the harbor.
Why batteries of this material may not be made as impregnable or more so than
vessels, I cannot see, and yet these have been passed by with as little notice as for
NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN PERCIVAL DRAYTON, 1861-1865 619
some time were the obstructions. However I wont get again on Charleston,
hoping that we shall very soon go in there, and decide for ourselves, whether the
defences are manageable or not. I would of course like to see every precaution
taken against failure, but would rather fail than not go in.
Your disposition of the $150 is all right, and the sum I am indebted to you
besides, shall be at once forwarded and would be with this, but I am writing in
a strange vessel, where I am acting as the President of a Court Martial, of all
disgusting waste of time the most disgusting way of wasting it.
Dont be alarmed about Gold going down, it wont be long before you will see
it at two hundred and even higher unless there is considerably more prospect of
the end than anyone but the over sanguine people can now make out.
Do not either listen to those who try to have it thought that the enemy are
getting weak or tired out or starved out. The war is to be influenced by fighting
alone, although we take this in very imwillingly, and are constantly listening to
quacks, well meaning and interested, who see some patent medicine way of
curing more speedily than this appears to be doing, the publick ills.
Glad to hear such a good account of the children, and would very much like
to see them, but am in for the war so far as depends on myself.
Perhaps if anything goes wrong or I am unsuccessful I may fall under sus-
picion as a South Carolinian and be temporarily shelved, which if a good con-
science would support me to bear I could take with equanimity, for I doubt if
H Greely occupies much higher ground than I do, and I almost think sometimes
I might pass an examination with credit in the Tribune office.
From what I see around me, all of my contemporaries at least are being used
up so fast by the anxieties and climate together, that if I should pass through the
war supposing it to last much longer, I dont believe I would be worth much
myself, unless I could get an occasional turn at the Gymnasium and that where
exercise is practicable between times. This makes me take a very philosophic
view of both Torpedoes and fever, the two most disagreeable agents that are likely
to be brought to bear on us, and in meeting which there is neither glory or
excitement. Another summer here will finish the breaking down, which the
last one went so far towards accomplishing, and when health goes I am quite
ready to follow. The publick only give credit for feats of arms, but the courage
which is required for them, cannot compare with that which is needed to bear
patiently, not only the thousand annoyances but the total absence of every thing
that makes life pleasant and even worth living.
Dont suppose however that I am either despondent, gloomy or in ill health,
as might be judged from the tone of the above remarks. I am very far from
either. But still although willing and desirous to make every sacrifice, from the
opportunity of doing which I would not be relieved if I could, I can perfectly
appreciate the immense difference between a summer at Drayton house within
reach of comfort and friends, and one spent here or even further South on the
Pctssaic. Kind remembrance to Mrs. Hamilton and any one else whom you may
class as your womankind, not knowing exactly who come under that head I
cannot be more definite.
Yours affy

620 NAVAL LETIERS FROM CAPTAIN PERCIVAL DRAYTON, 1861-1865
U. S. S. Passaic
Port Royal April 15 1863
My dear Hamilton
I hope you have all got over your disappointment at not getting
Charleston, and can now take a fair view of the transaction. I as you may have
gathered from my letters never thought very well of our chances, and since having
obtained a nearer view of the defences, and learned how little our Iron Clads can
stand against a continuous fire of heavy guns am quite satisfied that we might
have lost our vessels had we got higher up but could not have increased the
probability of success. We hear from all sides now that the affair is over and
people are inclined to speak more freely, especially foreigners as for instance
a french Consul in transitu, that the people of Charleston bothered their heads
very little about the sea attack, but looked upon the serious one as likely to come
by way of Stono or Edisto from the seventy thousand men supposed to be all
ready for launching at them. No doubt Ericsson and party who have only looked
at indefinite contracts, will pretend to disbelieve all our statements and try to
throw the blame of failure on want of zeal or energy in the Comdg officers. If
so it is a hopeless case, and difficult to better, as there is little doubt that the
Department selected the best officers they could find for the purpose, and from
what I know of the service, would not easily succeed in replacing the Captains
who were my companions. Yet after the action they unanimously admitted, that
a secon[d] attack would be hopeless, and that they now saw that the first one
never could have had any end except failure. The real defences of Charleston
may have been said not to have been reached, for the principal obstructions (piles
I could see plenty of) were beyond Sumter, where were also the large torpedoes.
There were beyond us three regular lines of defences from gims alone, enough
from my experience, any one of them to have destroyed the iron Clads witliout
any other agency, and each about equal to the first one whidi we engaged, namely
first forts Johnson, Mount Pleasant and the Middle ground, second fort Pinckney
and the forts on James Island. Third the batteries of the city itself and those
about Wappoo, all of these had to be reduced before we could hold the city,
which it is perfectly well understood from deserters, the army, for there are no
civil inhabitants in it, were quite prepared to save us the trouble of burning by
doing it themselves if occasion required.
Now as an illustration of what I have said in regard to the power of resist-
ance belonging to the Monitors, I will quote the condition of my vessel, after
about twenty minutes under Sumter, and all from the effect of heavy shot. The
turret jammed, the XI inch gun carriage disabled, the side armor in one place
nearly knocked off, and the Pilot house the very heart of the vessel, verv much
injured, and the top covering completely forced out of place, leaving an opening
of three inches quite exposed, where if a shot had struck, it would have finished
Captain Pilot helmsman and the whole steerage apparatus.
Four or five of our small number of vessels were also more or less disabled
one havinp: for a single item lost sixty bolts out of the Turret, and Pilothouse.
owing perhaps to bad iron. In view of this I think I may say with safety, that
an hour more would pretty much have finished the fleet, and have turned into the
NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN PERCIVAL DRAYTON, 1861-1865 62 I
great disaster of the war what was merely a repulse, The people may grumble
and find fault as much as they please, but if it is persisted to run our vessels
whether iron or wood, against strong batteries and well protected, either as here
by obstructions, and torpedoes, in the Mississippi by being placed on high bluffs,
we shall merely continue to lose both material and prestige. Farragut like
Du Pont is an instance of the ill effects of publick impatience and ignorance,
coercing as it has done from the first our military leaders. I told our admiral
the day before the attack, that I did not believe we could do anything that it
would make it worth while running the risk of some of our iron clads getting
into the enemy's hands. But yet nothing was more certain than that the attempt
must be made, or there would be a storm that no one could breast, and even failure
and defeat would be better than giving up what had been so much talked of. We
understood from deserters, thatwherever a passage is open,there are spread strong
nets of rope to catch our propellers, perhaps one of the surest and easiest modes of
crippling steamers that can be thought of. In conclusion all I have to say is,
that if persons can be found who believe that Charleston is to be taken by sea
attack just send them down here to attempt it, instead of vaporing about bar
rooms and political meetings, and they may have if they choose twenty instead of
eight iron Clads, for taking away the iron Sides which was good for nothing,
that was our number, and the real ones although having considerable endurance,
with only two guns which no one has yet been able to fire in action for a con-
tinuance, oftener than once in seven or eight minutes, are not able to reduce a
work of any size, and at least here cannot run by.
You may ask them what is the use of the iron clads ? Why to protect our own
"depots, and render in consequence the blockade possible and the army posts
tenable. Without us Port Royal could not be held a day, and although I believe
that one real victory does more to end the war than the mere occupation of the
whole sea coast, still there is little doubt, that the former must have its effect,
although in a more limited degree, and it would be a great gain to the enemy,
could we be driven away from the places now held. As to any victories in the
present condition of our army I dont look for them. We must first get some dis-
cipline, and our military institution must be governed by military not civil law.
It is impossible to keep an army together where desertion the great cause of de-
moralization is punished like playing truant. So far as I can see there is no
cohesion of parts, the officer says the soldier is insubordinate, the soldier the
officer is ignorant, and both are right from what I see and hear. I never doubted
before, I begin to now. The South is the bundle we the sticks, twice as many
to be sure but still separate ones. We took prisoner the other day on Edisto
Island a picket of seven young men, none over twenty, and as two of them are
the nephews of Mr. Seabrook the only man besides my brother I ever cared for
in the state, I went to see them. I found that six of them are the sons of very
rich men. They arc enlisted for the war overflowing with zeal, talk of their
officers with almost veneration, evidently think their army invincible and are quite
satisfied to be common soldiers. With us it is considered great patriotism if the
same class are found as officers. Like all the deserters and prisoners I see they
agree that luxuries are wanting, but that there is plenty of corn and bacon.
622 NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTALN PERCIVAL DRAYTON, 1861-1865
powder and ball. By tlie bye you will find in the March Atlantic Magazine
"Pericles and President Lincoln" perhaps you may pick it to pieces, but it strikes
one as rather an ingenious parallel, that between North and South Athens and
Sparta, of course however I do not apply this to the two men. And I somewhat
differ from the writer in laying so much on the generals, believing as I do, that
the fault is in the soldier, who unfortunately having a vote, is permitted a
degree of individual latitude, which makes our army a kind of mob. One thing
at least we learn from history, first that discipline carries ever>lhing down before
it, and second that the era of a nations great military renown, has always been
marked by an unusual severity of discipline. Of course we must find a scape-
goat and the general is a safer one tlian the soldier. I believe ours to be quite as
good as those of the enemy, but there he has the advantage of commanding a real
army. The young men I speak of above it seems had with them four or five
servants, these were close to our vessels, and yet never attempted to run away.
This indifference to liberty almost makes one despair of the negro, he seems to
belong to the only race known to the world that can remain contentedly enslaved.
We just got away from Charleston in time, for the gale that came on the day
after would certainly have carried some of us with our one small anchor ashore,
if we had not been already asphyxiated by living so long without air, which is
the case when the hatches are closed, to a very great extent. Interested people
may say what they please, but more helpless vessels than ours away from smooth
water and good anchorage can scarcely be found. We must after all have a
class of sea goers like other people, particularly as no one dares cast loose a gun
when there is the least roll of the sea.
However I wont inflict on you, any more of my grumbling, if you see every-
thing couleur de Rose it may be very easy to keep in a good humor, as I dont. T
cant. I should only like to have an hours talk with you, for writing I do hate.

I see in a paper of the nth that we were three thousand yards off, I was cer-
tainly at one time not six hundred, but wherever I was, had I been much nearer
there is no doubt as I can prove easily, that the shot would have passed through
my Pilothouse and side armor, which they nearly did as it was.
Some of the army officers talked after the attack of a landing on Morris Island.
I have not time to enter into it, but anything more ridiculous or which must so
certainly have ended in the entire destruction of the force can scarcely be con-
ceived. Perhaps people at the North however may believe in it as in so many
other brags.

NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN PERCIVAL DRAYTON, 1861-1865 623
Ordnance Office^
July 19 63 U, S, Navy Yard, New York,
My dear Hoyt
As I tell Syl my note paper is not got up quite as elegantly as hers, but as I
cant lay my hand on any other at the moment, and your establishment is not
quite so over elegant as those lower down I will venture to use it.
This is Sunday, but there is no Sunday now, the division of time seems lost
sight of, and even that of night and day is not much regarded.
We have been having a pretty lively time as you can judge from the papers
during the last week, and as the mob which seems to be composed of a class of
men as much opposed to the Union as if it was raised in Richmond, has been
threatening to burn all government property wherever found, and has been par-
ticularly indignant because we would not allow our men to quit work, we have
had to guard the Navy Yard from attacks which have been threatened, and for
the last few days, from the appearance of things you would have almost supposed
yourself somewhere within reach of a Southern raid. As it is pretty well known
however, that the regular forces not being lead by persons who want votes fire
low, I dont think we shall be disturbed. All this condition of things however
together with the fitting out of vessels for the protection of property on the North
& East rivers, and the numerous applications for cannon, muskets, and shells to
defend everything and ever>'one have kept me as it has everyone else on the move
early and late.
All this is I hope now over, nor do I believe that there will be a return. Although
the riot was not met with the vigor it should have been at first, still a great many
persons have been killed, and boast as it may I think the mob of thieves and seces-
sionists has had enough for the present, nor do I believe that the prosecution of
the draft, will cause any disturbance of the least consequence. The leading
<lemocrats have undoubtedly raised a storm that will teach them prudence for a
time, and perhaps will remind them that the end of all mobs is simply plunder,
whatever may be the beginning. That Wood and party have rather burned their
finp^ers and given the administration infinitely more power than it had before, I
l)oth hope and believe, and after all, the end of this may be good.
The most extraordinary part of it though is, that in this part of the nineteenth
century any civilized city could contain such a population as has shown itself
itself in New York. According to the Archbishops nomenclature, what must
the gentlemen be, who are below his lambs. What a perfect demagogue the old
<;camp has shown himself, I believe he would keep up the riot if he could.
As for the Irish women, eye witnesses say that their treatment of the bodies
of the poor darkies, has its only parallel in the behavior of the Marseilles fish
women of the French revolution. . . .
Mr & Mrs Hamilton went up to Dobbs ferry yesterday, where we have sent a
gunboat to protect that part of the river. I have seen very little of them during
the last week, having been obliged to remain day and night in the Navy Yard.

624 NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN PERCIVAL DRAYTON, 1861-1865
Navy Yard New York
Augt 23 63
My dear Mrs Hoyt
I had intended to have taken the Mary Powell yesterday afternoon, an<
afterncx)n, and after a quiet trip on the river, found my way over from Pough
keepsie, all of my arrangements were made, when at half past one I received sucl
a pile of letters orders and telegraphs, all requiring immediate attention, that
at once gave up, and settled myself down to work until near dark.
When Charleston is taken we may have some rest here, but until then, (anc
I am by no means one of those who think its fall immediate,) such a thing cannoi
be looked for.
As usual Sunday is no holy day and I am as has been the case with rare ex-
ceptions busily employed in my office. Nor do I consider it any desecration ol
the day to employ it in the furtherance of a war, which so far as our limited
powers of comprehension goes, is undoubtedly waged for everything that has
been held sacred by the best part of the human race from all time.
It is so hot to day that I dont know but that I am fortunate in having been
kept in town, where at least I can keep quiet.
Mr & Mrs Hamilton left town on Thursday and I think were to stop at your
house on their return from Columbia County. If they have not done so I will
deliver your message. I have not yet heard from Wise but he will be here during
the week and I will then go up to Cold Spring with him and further up the river
if we can find time. Farragut will probably be of our party as I said before
he is not to be depended on at present. To keep him in mind and that when you
next meet you may be able to recognize him I send you his carte de visite, which
is very good, the one with the cap however the most agreeable.
Sorry to hear that Mr Hoyt has not entirely regained his health and strength,
the latter not an easy thing to do for any one, in this weather. We have a regular
encampment in Washington Square of a Massac regiment, which if it does noth-
ing else will entirely finish the grass there. The first morning after its arrival, I
was waked up by the reveille, and thought for a little while I was on board ship.
Since the second morning however it has not disturbed me, and I have little doubt
they might drum away without my noticing it until my regular waking hour was
reached.
Kind remembrance to Mr Hoyt and believe me

they are, still I cannot help feeling that in time of war an officers place is afloat
and I accepted.
Today I received orders to hold myself in readiness to leave as soon as an
officer could be sent to relieve me, and I suppose I shall sail in the Hartford in

Should Mrs Hoyt and yourself not come to town before my departure I will
come up to bid you good bye.

My dear Hamilton
We arrived here yesterday morning after a very good run, and except
for the first two days when it was cold and blowy, have had fine weather, and are
at present suffering from heat and mosquitoes, a thing perhaps difficult for you
to realize in New York at this season.
This is rather a dreary residence I should suppose, a sand bank varied with
cocoa nut and a few other trees of the tropics, but the soil so light and sandy, as
to be almost unfit for gardening purposes, and for all such products as the ordi-
nary table vegetables your city affords their only supply, and now that wrecking is
almost a lost art, owing to the breaking up of the gulf trade, I suppose the popu-
lation would starve, were it not for the employment given it by Navy and Army.
There are plenty of niggers here and some Sesech, the latter however I
understand are rather dying out, for I am happy to say that Slavery has been
wiped out here, and without it, the Sesech element having nothing to live on soon
becomes unimportant, and must die of inanition. There are a few young ladies
they say, who still shut up their prayer books at the prayer for the President, but
as their foolish behaviour simply has excited ridicule, it seems by all accounts to
be on the reform.
Blockade runing it is thought here is done up. The officers tell me that the
venture pays now so badly, as to have completely disheartened the persons en-
gaged in it. Every steamer known to have been in the trade has been taken, and
the business is now reduced almost entirely to small schooners, and these stories
which get into the opposition papers, of the number of entries into Wilmington
and Mobile are sheer fabrications, to injure the administrations got up by its
enemies.
Palmer and I are all right my trouble having been so far merely from an
excess of apetite, which I do not like to give way to on ship board, where there
is so little opportunity for exercise. Farragut hurt his foot a little before leaving
New York, and has been quite lame. The symptoms are strong however of
gout, which he however wont listen to, but which as he prides himself on never
drinking water, looks to me very probable.

He is very temperate, confining himself to Bordeaux at dinner but I suppose
that in sufficient quantities may do the business.
Being so near Havana, cigars are as you may suppose plenty, and I actually
smoked one myself yesterday after a dinner on shore, and did not find that it
disagreed with me, so perhaps I may some of these days take up again the vile
habit. We go off for Pensacola in a couple of hours, and from there most likely
to New Orleans touching off Mobile where there are rumors of iron clads intend-
ing to come out.
I have not time to write to any one else, so must get you to give my love to all
at 56
Remember me also kindly to Mrs. Hamilton and every one in your house*
and believe me always.

We arrived here yesterday having stopped after leaving Key West for two-
days at Pensacola (the Navy Yard at which place having passed through the
hands of the rebels, reminds one very much of the ruins of Pompei), and then
remaining for the same time off Mobile with the blockading Squadron, which
we found a good deal exercized, in consequence of reliable information, that the
enemy's iron clads to the number of four, were ready and determined to come out
on them. Although the time for this has not yet quite come, there is little doubt
that it will be very soon, if we do not take the initiative, by going in ourselves
with some of the same class of vessel, it is not easy to do at present, as there
are none here, Charleston seeming so completely to have engrossed the attention
of the Department, as to drive out of memory all other places. This is a pity, as
I think two Monitors at present could most likely take Mobile bay, and cause the
fall of the forts, which virtually wipes out the city, while a little later many more
might fail in the same work. I intended to write you a long letter but find it
impossible as there is a vessel just about starting North and I am so interrupted
as to prevent my doing anything for more than a few minutes at a time, so give
my love to Syl and tell her if she does not hear from me by this opportunity what
the reason is.
Kind remembrance to Mrs. Hamilton and believe me

Flagship Hartford
Western Gulf Blockading Squadron,
Jany 26 1894
My dear Hamilton
Your letter of the 14th reached me yesterday, and I am much obliged to
you for your attention to my affairs —
I am going through the old story of the Ordnance, so busy from morning to
night as to have no enjoyment in life, and I shall really not be sorry for a little
outside work, merely to give me a continuance of the rest I had a taste of coming
down. There are in the Squadron more than sixty v.essels, and the reports appli-
cations, regulations &c constantly pouring in from them, are without end, to say
nothing of the personal applications for everything under the sun from morning
to night. Wyckham Hoffman is here, on Franklin's staff, looking very well,
and pleased with his duty and full of zeal. I dont know why it is that most of
the army officers seem to rather improve under their hardships, while the Navy
ones break down and look care worn and haggered without an exception, and
although little known North from the unimportance of the persons, I have been
surprised to learn how many of the Masters and Ensigns have died during the
last summer from Yellow fever, particularly in the small vessels.
The weather has been most beautiful since our arrival, only a little too hot at
midday,
28th I went last night to a promenade concert got up under the Superin-
tendence of Banks and staff, by way of amusing the Creoles, and making it to
their interest to come in. Banks thinks pan et circences the plan with this
lighthearted people. I think as I tell them, that the taking of Galveston and
Mobile, will make a stronger diversion in our favor, than all the opera singers and
balls that could be supplied in the next ten years.
All that outer exhibition of ill feeling among the women here has ceased, and
a very large number are at least polite, and many really disposed to be civil.
It is evident to me that nothing but the fear of their friends coming again
into possession, prevents a complete give in.
Although there were a good many of the Creole population at Banks concert,
the only persons belonging to la creme were the wife of Norman Jackson, whom
you may remember in New York, and a young lady friend. The first is very
pretty, and just sesech enough to be amusing. I dine there to day with the
Admiral. Palmer seems to have the most extensive acquaintance here, he leaves
us to day to take command of the Pensacola and remains in charge of the station
at this place, during the absence of the Admiral. This seems to suit him very
well although I should not like it myself.
In the meantime until some arrangement can be made I shall have I suppose
to command this ship in addition to my other duties, were it not that I do not like
to desert the Admiral so soon I would I think vacate my staff appointment and
take the other for good.
We shall get away from here in a very few days to look around at the various
squadrons. Nothing can be done at Mobile without ships, and as I said before
I dont see where they are to come from until Charleston is taken, which will be
642 NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN PERCIVAL DRAYTON, 1861-1865
some time yet, for although I believe that the tremendous efforts of the enemy
will break them down before long, still it must for a time cause our armies to be
every where outnumbered, and prevent a forward advance by Gilmore.
While they are exerting every nerve, we seem to be again getting into that
extraordinary delusion that the war is over while the two largest armies of the
rebs are untouched. And until they are beaten what nonsense it is to talk about
union movements in our favor. The largest and surest union party at the South
is the black one, three millions strong, and yet what can they do until we free
them. It is the same with the others. The only power in the confederacy con-
sists of Bragg and Lee's army, and I suspect that Jeff Davis troubles himself very
little about what the remainder of the population think. Break these down and
then we will have perhaps a public opinion in our favour until then none.
There are about twenty thousand black soldiers in this department, who are
spoken well of. As regards the laborers I can learn little but am inclined to
think that as yet they do not work very energetically or willingly, which we ought
not to be surprised at as their idea of liberty is no work.
I am scribbling this off before breakfast for afterwards there is no chance and
as a vessel goes in the morning I want to have it ready New Orleans is really
beginning to look a little lively along the wharves and there are regular lines of
steamers again running. Your friend Franklin has his headquarters here and
I see him almost every day. Indeed almost all of the generals seem to prefer the
city I should judge from the number here.
I hope Mrs. Hamilton's hard work, will lead to great results, and that the New
York fair will astonish the country by its wonderful success, and the enormous
sums raised for our sick and wounded, and with you I have little doubt, that
when the truth comes to be known, as unfortunately it seldom does however,
that the principal part of this will have been due to Mrs. Hamilton's energy and
system. For the first time since our arrival the weather has at length changed
and is no longer pleasant, but until today I have never seen anything more beauti-
ful than it has been.
We have here the last new thing in steam tugs, a small one manufactured out
of the launch of the Mississippi (the vessel which was burned at Vicksburg,) and
which is now the admirals barge, so that instead of pulling against this terrible
current, we are whisked about with the utmost rapidity and least trouble to Jack.
Give my kind remembrance to Mrs. Hamilton and all in the house. If Hoyt
is in your neighborhood tell him I will write to him soon and believe me
Yours most sincerely

they are, but Farragut thinks it not worth while leaving the Hartford for the
short time we will be here. Direct my letters simply W. G. B. Squadron New

Although I have got away from New Orleans it does not seem that I
have much less to do, particularly as in addition to my previous duties I have
now those connected with the command of this ship. I do not however complain
of work, which if it does nothing else prevents ennui in situations, where but for
it, it might occasionally enter. I would though like a little more time not only
to write to my friends, but to read a little German occasionally. The Admiral is
at present quite under the weather as sailors express it. He took a ride on horse-
back with the general commanding and myself, and has not since been right, for
although a most active man for his age, that age is over sixty, and as he will
drink wine he has to be a little careful.
I send you four Mobile papers which will I think interest Mrs. Hamilton and
yourself. If looked into carefully a vast deal can be learned from them, for
instance the only blockade runner mentioned as coming in has provisions as part
of her cargo. Deserters and refugees come in almost every day, which enables
us to procure a good deal of information. They all agree that blockade running
is almost done up, but two vessels have gone into Mobile in six weeks and none
out, and a vessel trying Charleston, shows how closely Wilmington must be
leag^ered. Our friends the rams we understand declare that they are going to
finish us before long, but we dont believe it. Still an iron ship or two would
make things safer.
We leave here tomorrow to superintend some little operations in Mississippi
Sound, and as the vessel is only waiting for this to go to New Orleans with the
mail, I must finish. The weather is delightful, fire a thing not needed and no
rain for weeks past. Of course this cant go on forever.

I received yesterday yours of the 2d and hope that you have since received
mine from New Orleans.. .
We got in here yesterday after passing a day at the Mobile blockades and as
soon as a tremendous Norther which is now blowing shall cease I will go in one
of the small vessels inside of Mississippi Sound to examine the inside defences
644 NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN PERCIVAL DRAYTON, 1861-1865
of Mobile bay, and perhaps shell them a little by way of seeing what they are
made of. I go with the Admiral of course. We are now having the second cold
spell of the winter and actually yesterday had a few flakes of snow. People call
it cold but I think it is just nice and bracing. They tell me that the army trans-
port which takes this is under way so I have no time to talk of other matters but
will leave them for another occasion.
Kind remembrance to Mrs. Hamilton and I hope that her and your proposed
five hundred thousand will be produced by the fair. Am glad to learn of the
pleasant week you spent with Hoyt and feel that I could have enjoyed much being
with you, although I would after all rather keep to work and give up amusement
until the war is over, when those who see it through can take their fun all in a
lump.
I agree with you in your fears of Syl's principles from a Northern trip, for
in this as in some other cases extremes meet, and Canada seems almost as bad
as S. Carolina. I suppose she will come back like so many others of our repub-
lican nation, more than ever convinced that ours is not a country for a gentleman
to live in, only one to enable that class to make money out of to keep up its
gentility. I am very sorry to hear of Mrs. L 's illness but trust that it is
all over and that she is in her usual good health again.
The Admiral is still suflFering from a little rheumatism or gout, but will I trust
be well enough to suflFer no inconvenience from the little roughing it which he
must go through if he goes up the Sound in one of our smaller vessels. I like
many other water drinkers, although not claiming the robustness of the class who
live generously, at least never seem to get below the point of medium good health,
which has been my condition since leaving you.
About half Farragut's letters are for autographs and what is I think a little
impudent Cartes de Visite, the latter being an article which costs money and can
be bought currently. For a second time remembrance to Mrs. Hamilton and all

My DEAR Hamilton
I came across the enclosed shark story a few days ago, and recollecting
your curiosity about the matter send it to you. No doubt Wheleright or any other
person connected with the California could have the matter placed beyond doubt
and thus settle a question which has so long exercised the Club.
I have been for a week with Farragut at Grants Pass one of the upper
entrances into Mobile bay, where with five bomb vessels we have been trying to
drive the enemy out of a strong earth fort or at least to do what would serve the
purpose of making a diversion in favor of Sherman in North Alabama. The
NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN PERCIVAL DRAYTON, 1861-1865 645
water was so shallow that two miles was as near as the lightest vessel could
approach so that I suspect no great harm was done on either side. They threw a
good many shot over us, but only a very few hit, and they did no great harm only
one man being hurt and the vessels little injured. Yesterday while waiting for
a fresh supply of ammunition, the celebrated iron clad with which we have so
long been threatened made her appearance in Mobile bay. and as it is said that
she accompanied by her consorts, is to make a raid on us the Admiral hurried
off to join the Mobile fleet, where we should be now, were it not that it is blow-
ing such a gale of wind, as to make it very disagreeable outside for an ordinary
vessel and impossible for an iron clad such as the Tennessee to live long. It is a
great pity that a few troops and an iron clad or so could not have been had ere
this, to enable us to take the forts of Mobile bay. It will of course become more
difficult the longer delayed, but we always seem to prefer that the enemy should
be quite ready before attacking him. As a Norther is blowing it is quite cold
again comparatively, but I suspect this will be the last of the winter and
the complaints for the future will arise from other causes than too much
heat. Until something is settled about the enemy's iron clads I shall scarcely
be again in port except to coal, as the Hartford must take her place on that most
wearisome and thankless duty of blockading. All engaged in it complaining
that they get no sleep and never have their clothes off, but so long as the heavens
dont fall I will manage to have a fair share of the first, at least, or it will be for the
first time this war that I have failed, and I have been in places where attack at
night was much more likely to take place than will be the case off Mobile.
Remember me kindly to Mrs. Hamilton and all in the house. Heaven an[d]
earth is being moved in its favor* I should judge from the applications to the
Admiral for his autograph and photograph, like a prudent man he keeps none of
the latter on hand. Even I do not entirely escape, and a few days since received
a very polite note from Mrs. General McClellan requesting a signed Carte de visite,
which having, I of course sent, telling her that although I could not well see how
the likeness of a person so little known as myself could aid in the very laud-
able object she had in view, still I could not otherwise than feel glad at an oppor-
tunity being offered me, of not only appearing in good company but at the same
time of obliging the wife of Genl McClellan.
Ever since I have commenced this I have been interrupted every few minutes
to explain or listen to something, as we are getting off papers and letters by the
mail boat, for all parts of the coast and Washington, this must account for my at
times not appearing to know exactly what I was writing about. Much to my
relief three days since the Secretary whom I got for the Admiral, to replace his
drunken one absent without leave arrived and being thorough at his business, he
is already getting things in admirable order, and has relieved me from a great
deal of work which no more belonged to me than to the ships cook, but which I
had to do or it would not have been done at all.. ..

My dear Hamilton
Radford has just written to say that I had left my Commission with him
which I must confess to have entirely forgotten. That this may not occur again
I have asked him to send it to you. Will you put it in my box.
I also send you by an opportunity that offers a couple of hundred cigars. If
you like either description I can get you a reasonable amount, or if there is any
particular brand which you have a fancy for I can send over to Havana for them.
This will at least be cheaper and if you will persist in that horrid habit of smoking
dont ruin both health and fortune at the same time. As I wrote only a few days
since I dont think of anything else to tell you. We have been expecting to go to
sea every day, but something always occurs to detain us. The ram Tennessee
which we thought we saw the other day in Mobile bay is said to be still on the
Dog river bar near the city, so she cant try anything against us just yet. There
has however one of the torpedo vessels been seen lately near fort Morgan so I
suppose an attempt will be made to treat us like the Housatonic,
Judging from the tone of the Mobile papers which we get quite frequently
the Confederacy is in much better spirits lately, owing first to their success in
Florida and elsewhere and next to the confidence given by the energetic action
of their Congress which whether politic or not in the future for the 'moment
gives them soldiers and hope.
We have one of the most striking characters one often meets, here on shore
in the person of a Genl Asboth, a Hungarian refugee and old companion of
Kossuth, he is a Brigadier and commands this post & distinguished himself much
at Pea ridge where he commanded a division. His appearance is very much that
of Don Quixote and he is a thorough soldier and courtier, a desperate admirer of
horses and dogs and is always accompanied on all his campaigns by about half
a dozen of the bigest specimens of the latter one often sees. He dined the
Admiral and self the other day, and the first dish was chocolate soup, nothing
more or less than such chocolate as you drink served in a tureen and ladled out
like soup. I have seen a good many strange customs but both the Admiral and
self agreed that this was beyond both of our experiences.

In this age of autographs Asboths signature is as fine a specimen as one often

Mrs. Hamilton or any of her friends who value such things, also one of Porters
to contrast

. . . We are still here, the Admiral having very sensibly I think decided tliat so
long as the enemy's head iron clad sticks in the mud at Mobile, he is near enough
to that place for all useful purposes at Pensacola, where we communicate with the
blockade in four hours. I think that it is a great pity that instead of sending off
all the troops to the Red river, enough had not been detained to let us pitch into
the Mobile forts and have it over one way or the other without so much delay.
The heart and vitals of the Confederacy, are this side, not the other side of the
Mississippi, but I suppose that politics enters into the movement somewhat of our
armies, and not military motives alone as I think should be the case. By the
number of deserters and refugees who come into our lines, I judge that there
is a great dissatisfaction existing among tlie Rebs (not Confeds as I called them
improperly before as you will see from the enclosed circular) but still there are
those two big armies always looming up, and which must be beaten well before
the non military element dare show its hands beyond our protection.
The Admiral is getting over his rheumatism or horse ride or whatever it may
be, and desires to be remembered to Mrs. Hamilton and yourself. I am re-
markably well myself, and am only troubled for fear I should be going to grow
fat, as I find that I weigh a hundred and fifty five pounds whereas I never recol-
lect any previous weight beyond fifty two.
I have a tremendous bundle of papers to get off by this mail so will now finish
this private one, and with kind remembrance to Mrs. Hamilton and all in no. 18

P. S. If you are fond of receiving letters you ought to open a correspond-
ence with Jenkins, in the last five days I must have received from him at various
times what would make a sizeable book, and all so badly written that I dont read
more than about one half,. Poor fellow he seems to have plenty of idle time on
the blockade and spends some of it in that way.

The Admiral found it necessary to come round here for a few days and
perhaps may be obliged to visit Texas, and as it is important that I should be
with him, keeping as I do the key to the squadron business, I left my vessel in
charge of the first Lieutenant at Pensacola, and took passage with him in the
r
648 NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN PERCIVAL DRAYTON, 1861-1865
Tennessee, one of the old passenger steamers that formerly ran on oui
coast, and which was taken in attempting to run the blockade of Mobile about
a year ago. A most comfortable vessel she is too, and would be the perfection oi
a man of war, if she was only a tenth part as fit to fight as her quarters are large
and airy. Both the Admiral and self have rooms that would not be considered
small ; in a house, and then compared with the execrable rolling and pitching
of our screw sloops is as steady in rough weather as a church, which is an expres-
sion among sailors for the most perfect stability, at least physically considered.
I received a letter from you as I was leaving my ship, telling me that you were
just about getting out again after an attack of illness. I am glad to hear that you
are well again, but cannot conceive how you manage to get sick with all the
comforts of home about you and Mrs. Hamilton to look out for them and you.
It must be done in the mere spirit of opposition and if that is the case you deserve
a little inconvenience, which has I hope however been only sufficient to deter you
from committing the same fault a second time.
Something I have frequently intended to ask you, just now strikes me, Once
or twice I have heard the Admiral allude to a series of resolutions, passed by the
city councils of New York, in his honor; and which it was said in the papers,
were to be engrossed and presented to him. Ask some alderman friend for me,
what became of them, as I have a curiosity to know, and would like to inform
the Admiral who also I think has something the same feeling about them.
The Account Current you speak of in your letter I acknowledged in my last,
and a very satisfactory paper it was.
This city although not as gay as when Banks and the army were present, is
still very much of a vanity fair, and the Admiral who I think at least enjoys its
life and dissipations as much as any one, never tires of abusing it for the de-
moralization it produces on the fleet. As for him I cant keep him on board in the
evening and he takes me to many places I would be very glad to keep out of.
We went last evening to a party at Mrs. Banks', where there were plenty of nice
people, but few if any Creoles among them. She is beautifully lodged in what
the natives call a stolen house, but worth committing a slight sin to obtain, and
surrounded as it is now with orange blossoms and all kind of sweet smelling
plants, is the perfection of southern elegance and comfort. They have not been
able to get up a Sanitary exactly but are to have on the 12th some Tableaux
under the patronage of Mrs. Banks and a Mrs. of New York, rather
a highfligher, although not of the creme at home. She is however rather a
nice person, and as her husband is said to be quite rich, no one can understand
her intention of spending the summer here, notwithstanding the possession of
one of the finest houses in the city, for the time being. The ready answer of
the residents or of those above suspicion however in all such cases is, that they
are after cotton, or as it is expressed belong to the cotton stealing association,
most of the bacfs seized being marked C. S. A. It seems that it was generally
thought that this late expedition up the Red River, was to have yielded largely
in the staple, but unfortunately Banks occupied with the political organization of
this state, delayed his departure so much, that Porter got ahead, and it is said
has cleared out every available bale. It is amusing to listen to the reports con-
NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN PERCIVAL DRAYTON, 1S61-1865 649
stantly being circulated here by the sesech element. For lliree days there were
no arrivals from the Red river, and by the end of that time authentic information
was received, first that Taylor had got between our forces, next had taken
Alexandria and on the third day had in his possession Genl Banks all his staff
and five thousand prisoners. So that on going to Mrs. Banks last evening I was
very happy to see the Chief Quartermaster who had been particularly mentioned
as one of the unfortunates and who told us that everything was going on ad-
mirably for Banks. My letter may seem at times careless or even inchoherent,
but it is really written under difficulties. At least every three Minutes, some
one wants to see me, and by the time he has been gratified I have perhaps lost
the thread of what I was saying. The fact is that besides the regular duty of
the fleet, almost every officer wants something special, and in the case of the
volunteer element generally promotion. All these favors asked, can of course
only be really granted by the Admiral but as in point of fact the decision must
pretty much remain with me, I am as you may suppose for the time a rather im-
portant person, whenever either promotion or permission to go North for a
short time are in question.
I picked up yesterday among some of the Reb Cartes de visite here one of
my brother. With the exception of one or two the Generals are a most seedy
looking set of individuals, to which my brother is no exception. Give it to Syl
she may value it perhaps for the uniform.
Mrs. Norman Jackson's child being some time since in want of a name, I
suggested Maud, which has been accepted, and if the dress can be got ready
which is not certain, as I was not looked for so soon, I am requested to represent
by proxy some brother in England. As she is a little sesech, I suppose T
ought to allow the intimacy to go no further than dinners, but there is no re-
fusing anything to a pretty woman, and I doubt whether under like circum-
stances I could refuse Mrs. JefT Davis, were she to ask me so slight a favor in
so winning a style.

Supply vessels from the Navy Yard at the time it is ready.
We had some grand Tableaux vivants at the Opera house on Tuesday last
for the Louisiana Soldiers benefit. It went off very well and must have been
quite remunerative. Mrs. Banks wanted me very much to take a part in the
final tableaux of the Spirit of 1866 where she was the Goddess of Liberty sur-
rounded by the States. Although general Weitzel was to represent the armies
of the U States on the occasion, I could not bring myself to do the Navy part,
and am afraid in consquence that I have lost ground in the good graces of the
lady of the Commander of the Department.
The Admiral enjoys himself I think vastly here, and would do so much more
were it not for the opinion that seems to possess him, that life in New Orleans
soon renders a person unfit for the hard life of the profession or at least makes
them a little distasteful. We dined yesterday with Mr. Wright the possessor of
the Horse fair, who gave us a first class dinner, which did not hurt me, but
coming on the top of a good deal of indiscriminate eating and drinking after the
Tableaus of the night previous, rather used the Admiral up, which I did not
much wonder at, when reminded by him of what he had eaten, for among the
articles were the following ones all served as courses and with the highest
seasoned sauces. Shrimp soup, Lobster salad. Soft shell crabs, shrimps. Ice
cream and strawberries. We are getting under way for Texas so adieu.

My dear Hamilton
We reached here yesterday from a cruise along the Texas coast to look
after the vessels there, and get an idea from personal observation of the condi-
tion of affairs in that direction.
Quite a brisk little business in the blockade running line, seems to be carried
on from their shallow ports through fleets of light draft sailing vessels, which
dodge in and out of the numerous inlets which seem to give access to the interior
every few miles, and which it is impossible to find vessels on our part to watch.
For although our squadron consists nominally of about seventy five vessels, fully
one fourth of them are constantly undergoing repairs, and one fourth more ought
to be. People dont know how difficult it is to keep boilers in order tried as ours
are, where steam is kept up month after month without an opportunity being
permitted for the necessary repairs and cleaning out. That no great considera-
NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN PERCIVAL DRAYTON, 1861-1865 65 I
tion is thought of for the individual and that the public interest is not allowed to
suffer out of any feeling for officers or crews you will understand when I tell
you that some of the vessels on the coast of Texas have not been in port for six
montlis, and probably will not be allowed to do so until either the human or the
steam machines give out. This kind of life of course appears a very simple
matter to people at home enjoying all the comforts ordinarily belonging to that
place, together with the additional pleasure of reading about fighting and the
general hardships attending the mildest military operations, but it is no joke as
any one will soon perceive when thrown in with the actors.
We have met with rather a reverse lately on the red river, very much owing
so far as I can learn to the absence of the usual military precautions. I suppose
when we have met with a few more we will begin to arrive at the conclusion
that politics and war are distinct branches of human knowledge. This of course
will be a bitter truth to our rulers as it was to old nobility of Europe when
it first began to be insisted that noble birth did not necessarily mean fitness for
all the high offices of the state, but we must come to it soon and will unless more
successful than heretofore. It is said that Franklin the real soldier of the army
is neither asked for his opinion or listened to when it is given, and the con-
sequense was we w^ent slap into the enemy not knowing where he was and the
advance a mere confused mass of baggage wagons, artillery and cavalry. Con-
sequence a severe check and the loss of twenty pieces and three miles of
waggons. However there is no use of grumbling, all war must have its reverses,
but with us we so constantly repeat the same blunders as to make it ridiculous
We remain here for a day or two and then leave for Mobile and Pensacola,
at which latter place a rebel raid is threatened, but a pretty bold set of fellows the
Rebs must be if they attempt it.
I am glad to hear such good accounts of Syl, but whether it is that house-
hold affairs and the worlds vanities occupy all her time, not a scrape of the pen
has reached me from her since I left New York, although I have tried to draw
one on various occasions, perhaps your writing is considered sufficient evi-
dence of life in the family to answer all purposes. Hoyt the other delinquent
just saved a severe reproof for his negligence, by a letter received today.
From your account of Mrs. Hamiltons devotion to the fair, I should judge
that you might almost be the person whose complaint in numbers, I saw a
short time since somewhere, and who seemed to think that in these times of
charitable excitement a man might as well be without a wife, for all the good
he derived from her society. However the object for which you are sacrificed
is so grand a one, that you must bear your share of its burdens without a murmur,
The very sympathy shown for the Soldier will produce a better result than the
eventual spending of the money to be raised by the Sanitary fair. I am only
sorry that the Navy is so independent as not to bring out a little of the kind feel-
ing being shown towards the Soldier. Even did we need it, I am afraid that
for a race so much apart and which never can have much political weight
(which with us is what virtue was to the Roman), the sailor would stand little
chance with his rival of the other service, who is of the stuff out of which Presi-
dents may be manufactured
652 NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN PERCIVAL DRAYTON, 1861-1865
Flag Ship Tennessee
New Orleans Apl 23 1864
My dear Hoyt
Your letter of the loth reached me yesterday, and I was very glad to hear
from you again after such a long silence, for none of your letters to which you
allude to as written have reached me. People in the bustle of the great world
dont know how welcome news from it of a more confidential character than that
which comes through the papers, is to persons leading the humdrum kind of life
that we do every where on this station, except at New Orleans, which I am
always sorry to visit, because the outside life which one gets acustomed to as do
the nuns that of a nunnery after a little practice, always appears distasteful
when so immediately compared with a more natural condition, such as is offered •
by any society composed of the two sexes, particularly when as here, so many
people are quite disposed to make our stay a pleasant one.
We have just returned from the Coast of Texas from a kind of tour of in-
spection, and find that although our squadron consists of near eighty vessels,
more are wanted to block up all the rat holes down there. To be sure blockade
running is done in rather a small way, but still as whenever a vessel gets in or
out a great noise is made about it, either in English or rebel papers, every one
is most anxious to prevent all communication whatever, and the not being able to
do so, is a cause of mortification. That no one is considered in carrying out
these objects you will understand when I tell you, that several of the vessels
have not been into a port from as far back as September and October last, and
will not perhaps for as much longer, unless the boilers give out. You can
imagine the tedium and hardship of such a life, passed in a small vessel, which
most of them are. Of course people at home do not see it in this light, and those
are generally more severe in their strictures on persons who occasionally want
relief for a time, from this life without a joy, in proportion to the little likelyhood
there is of their being called on for anything of the same character. However
I am not going to write you a grumbling letter, particularly as I so far have no
right to complain of any individual suffering, for with the exception of perhaps
at times a little too much work to be good or healthy, I am usually well off.
and am likely to be, so long as the Admiral is in my vessel, for of course it is
not expected that he should devote himself to mere blockading. When the iron
clads are reallv ready to come out of Mobile, it will be of course another matter.
If we could only get into Mobile bay now, we could put a stop to all manufac-
ture of iron clads going on there, but this is out of the question until the army
can lend some regiments to reduce the forts. We can run by them and cut them
off by water, but there our power would end, and as the water is too shallow
to permit of an approach to the city, nothing whatever would be gained by any
movement on our part, until it can be supported by troops. Our forces on the
red river have met with a pretty serious check as you have no doubt seen, much
greater than is admitted of course. It is here universally attributed to careless-
ness, we were led into a trap, into which we walked without any precautions
having been taken against surprise, and were marching along in an enemy's
NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN PERCIVAL DRAYTON, 1861-1865 653
country a mere confused mass of cavalry artillery and supply wagons, the con-
sequence of which was, that we lost at once, twenty guns and three miles of
waggons. It is said that the army was so entirely taken up with cotton, as to lose
sight of everything else.
We leave here tomorrow for Pensacola and Mobile, at the former of which
places I left my ship, for I am not only fleet Captain but command the Hart-
ford in addition. This is better in some respects for all parties, as it gives me
command of all the conveniences of the vessel for fleet purposes, which could not
be the case were the officers in different hands, and when the Admiral wants to
make a tour of inspection as at present in a lighter vessel, I can temporarily
leave the Hartford in charge of the first lieutenant, as I have done now.
The members of congress have so completely grabbed all appointing to the
Naval School, that I doubt if there is any other avenue open except through one
of its body. That some of those having this power can be approached with a
bribe, I do not doubt, but venial as they are supposed to be should think it an
exceptional case. At any rate the only person who can help you is the member
from your district, either Staatsburg or New York, find him out and tell him
what you want. Perhaps he may assist you. At any rate there is nothing like
trying. It is of course not pleasant to ask a favor, but it must sometimes be
done. If we take Mobile I may help you, but at present my influence is too
small to be of much use. particularly as I am absent from the part of the country
where all these matters are arranged.
The people here seem very exultant at their recent successes in various
quarters, and now talk I understand of making a raid from the direction of Polks
army, to occupy this city. It is of course ridiculous, and were such an attempt
successful it would be next to impossible for any body of men to be fed, with us
in command of Lake and river. The approaches to the river are such, that a
few men might hold them against an army, but unfortunately our raw levies are
not to be depended upon, and constantly desert places that a regiment of French
Zouaves would hold against the confederacy.
From what I gather now the Red River operations are a complete failure
and you will soon hear of our forces withdrawing. The worst of it is that
Porter and a number of the boats are above the falls, and there seems little chance
of their getting down, which will make the position of things a little awkward.
From what I can see of the Sanitary it appears to be another Japanese Prince
of Wales & Russian excitement only for a better motive and I believe that City
rivalry & politics has quite as much to do with the receipts as care for the
Soldiers. However it gives people common interest and that on the right side
which is a great deal. . . .
Notwithstanding Guerillas, the up trade on the river seems to be increasing
very much, judging from the number of steamers at the Levee, but still this
constant firing at our boats must have an eflPect in interrupting trade if continued,
and all the gun boats in the world cannot stop it. This must be done by occupy-
ing the favourable points, which it seems we are not strong enough for at present.
The Rebs are evidently moving heaven and earth for this spring and summer

Yours of the 20th received, as usual very pleasant reading. There
nothing like a business man for a regular correspondent, and the more wo
he has to do the better. It seems as if the only occupation which completely fi
a persons day without leaving room for anything else, is a life of fashionab
ease and enjoyment, H half that is reported of the reckless extravagance
New York and our other cities is true I should think it the precursor of a regul
cataclysm. No cause can prosper where while the country is in imminent pe
and its finances in confusion, this peril is aggravated by such mad waste and co
ruption as is seen everywhere. I trust you do not lend yourself to such thin
and have at least given up Champagne. Seriously speaking our affairs are ta
ing a bad turn, nothing but disaster everywhere, and where it is to stop I do
see, for our enemies are madly in earnest we lukewarm as a nation. The
seems to be little doubt down here that the worst defeat of the war next to Bi
run is that of Banks, who they say became so perfectly demoralized and vacilh
ing as to have destroyed the little chances that might have remained after t
first great blunder. Nothing from present appearance can save Porters fit
except a rise in the Red river which cannot be looked for.
And here it'C are with a lot of wooden vessels to meet the iron clads whii
are nearly ready to come out from Mobile, some of them quite equal to t
Merrimac, when any disaster to our fleet would create a panic that I have a lit
doubt would for the time lose us New Orleans, and all this might be avoid
by the presence of a single iron clad in this harbor, as a mere threat if nothii
else. But they all stop at places where they are not wanted or at least whe
as in the James river, they could be spared from protecting that immense arr
of the Potomac which never seems to be considered safe. New Orleans a
the Mississippi is worth more to us than Washington because less easily retak
in case of loss. However I suppose the machine has to work itself along
its own weight as heretofore, a common river boat strengthened and with
little railroad iron might have saved Plymouth twenty wont get it back, and
loss pretty much finishes the union party of N Carolina.
You dont understand perhaps what we are waiting for here, so I will expl:
our position that you may not think Farragut has lost his energy. The fo
at Mobile are very strong and to run in we must run the gauntlet of most powi
NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN PERCIVAL DRAYTON, 1861-1866 655
ful batteries at short range with channel much obstructed and filled with tor-
pedoes. This however is not the question, but what we should gain by going
in. The bay is twenty five miles deep but so shallow that we cannot I think go
up high enough to be clear of the fort guns at the entrance. Then as these are
well provisioned and will be in just as free communication with the interior
with us inside as out, we really therefore except being able to keep up a little
better blockade gain nothing by a change of position. The loss on the other
side will be considerable, first we are exposed very much to torpedo vessels, and
in addition to the fleet of iron clads which although rather afraid to come out-
side, with their shallow draft and heavy guns might really destroy us at long
range. With an army to invest the forts and one or two iron clads to look out
for theirs, it would be worth taking the loss of vessels which must follow the
running the gauntlet, without it would be simply like a Malay running a muck,
knowing that at the end of it you were doomed. The chance of soldiers seems
to be put off, by Banks disaster and the arrival of the iron clads by the supposed
wants of the Potomac army, so that I really dont see what is to be done. But I
do see that if the enemy plucks up a spirit and comes out with the rams,
after getting the Tennessee over the bar by Mobile (which will be done when
the canals now building are finished) and any of our vessels are sunk, there
will be a very good chance of losing New Orleans for a time at least. There
was a regular panic there before Banks' defeat was known, merely on account
of the depletion of the city of its soldiers, and now the soldiers have fallen into
such contempt, that all the moral effect from them is gone even if they were
there. Withdraw our ships and I believe the city would be taken in a fortnight.
In the meantime our ships crews are melting away because congress in its
wisdom gave enormous bounties to soldiers who have votes and none to sailors
who have not, so that as might have been expected all the sailors have gone into
the army, as we are in contravention of the contract keeping men whose times
have expired because otherwise we could scarcely keep up the blockade properly.
unfortunately we carry on the war without the singleness of purpose of the
people at the South and the consequence is that our enormous resources appear
to be neutralized by the much lesser ones of the Rebels. However all this that
I have been telling you is not for the public, and I should be hung I suppose if
half of it was published, but it is all true and you will find it so before long I
am afraid. Banks ought to be at once removed and all political generals with
him. He is a first rate politician I have little doubt but has no military taste
whatever. You may think I am a grumbler, but I am not alone. I see letters
from Porter just as bad, and he docs not deal in that line usually. One thing
I think at least I may promise that whatever comes we will do our duty by the
flag and country.
I am just as busy as ever, writing, seeing people and giving directions from
morning to night, a little fighting would be a relief.
The hot weather is beginning to tell on almost all the people who were here
last year. I having had the summer at the North am all right so far, and the bomb
vessels and some of those which were last year pest houses we are sending home
before the yellow fever breaks out in them again.

What a commentary on the duration of favor with the people, is the vote
of the swords, Farragut who has really done twice as much as McClellan a few

be defined as a keen feeling of favors to come. The Navy is unfortunately for
itself, no political machine.

Nothing new since I last wrote. We shall have our turn at a ram soon I
suppose as these monsters appear to be quite plenty in Southern ports. We
certainly require now some sea going iron Clads and Ericsson will have the op-
portunity no doubt so long looked for of proving to his detractors that his
monitors can keep the sea and what has been also doubted by the envious use
their guns there. Although however not much on the ocean we would find one
or two of them here very useful, much more so I suspect than that eternal
picking at fort Darling and scouting in the James river. I trust that we shall
be more successful in our third on to Richmond, but see no particular reason to
hope so, as I think the relative force of the two armies is about as usual and
perhaps their material this time better than last year. I also think a military
man should have been sent up the James instead of Butler, he is an ignoramus
about military matters and so hated by the Rebels that they would fight twice
as hard as against any one else. It is hard work for us divided as we are, to
make head against a united people when it is as much in earnest as is the
Southern one, I think the majority which is in a Republic to a great extent the
government, has a right to put down a factious minority in league with its
enemies, and I only hope to see it done at the North. As some one said in hear-
ing it wondered at that Farragut did not get the sword at the Sanitary, Why
should it be a cause of wonder when there are perhaps more secessionists in
New York than New Orleans, and who never will forgive him for having taken
the latter city.

We have been here for the last five days, brought out in a great hurry on
account of the iron Clad Tennessee having got over the Dog river bar and being
consequently in a condition to come out on a bender any fine night in company
with a few of the like evil disposed.
There is no use in firing at these fellows for the shot glance, but we will
run them down if possible. In the meantime there is one comfort at least should
we be the party sunk, and that is that down will go at the same time a mass of
papers and reports that it is disgusting to look at, and, which it would almost
be a relief to get rid of even at such a cost.
Things certainly look better than they did a short time since, and I only hope
that before this reaches you Grant will have got Richmond. If Mrs. Hamilton

I received yesterday yours of May loth and as few letters require at furthest
more than two weeks to reach us, cannot acount for the delay this one has been
subjected to. However as it gives me the latest news from home, apart from
what is supplied by the Newspapers it is just as welcome as if dated yesterday
We have now been lying here a month in daily expectation (or rather nightly)
of an attack from the iron clads inside. Why they have delayed so long is a
mystery, I suppose some preparations are to be completed. It is a mean kind
of a war though this coming out on one in the dead of the night, to blow you up
or punch a hole in your side, I dont however allow it to disturb my rest, I make
all possible arrangements, and then sleep the night through unless there is an
alarm, which takes place every now and then owing to the chase of a blockader,
which however as there are very few of them trading to this port does not
occur often. We have quite a large force numerically some sixteen vessels
around us, being obliged to make up in quantity for quality, but there is little
doubt that for the duty we are likely to be called on to perform, the Red 'Italia'
would be equal to our fleet and as many more, but as it appears to be a settled
policy, that none but Monitors are to be turned out of our work shops except for
foreigners, and as this latter class although first rate sea boats, must not have
their theoretic reputation jeoparded by being subjected to the test of practice,
we at this late stage of the war have nothing to fight iron with except wood,
odds against us, which a wise man would scarcely give his enemy except under
the influence of a frightful hobby. However it is not our place to reason why,
and I dont bother my head much about it, or wrack my brain in trying to
understand why we are the only people in the world who have no means of
NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN PERCIVAL DRAYTON, 1861-1865 659
obliging a contractor to perform his work witliin a reasonable limit, or for a
reasonable price.
Genl Canby paid us a visit yesterday to see the Admiral on business. He
must be undeniably clever or he could scarcely be placed in this way all of a
sudden in supreme Command. He is certainly one of the most taciturn men I
ever met with if you except two of his staff whom he brought with him. This
of course proves nothing one way or the other. If half of the stories however
are true which are told of the utter state of demoralization to which Banks
brought his present army I should think some time required before any fight
could be got out of it. Banks I at one time had a pretty good opinion of, but he
proved himself on this last expedition so utterly inefficient and helpless, as to
have become a perfect laughing stock to the whole soldiery, and this with
his lending himself to Cotton and all other speculators has pretty much finished
him with all respectable people in that part of the world. Then he was also
giving suppers to fast women and behaving in a most indecorous manner,
especially for one of his antecedents and bringing up.
H they dont send us down some iron clads, there seems nothing left for us
except to wait quietly until the enemy comes out. For to run the gauntlet of
the forts, only to come in on an iron fleet of certainly double our power in
smooth water, would not seem quite sensible, and I dont believe that even
Farragut would venture on such a step. What we do here is however of such
little importance compared with what is in progress else where as almost to
deprive it of interest. Virginia is the central point of interest, if successful
there a blow will be struck that it will be difficult for the Rebels recover from
if we there fail no operations here can much effect the great result further
than helping time. If the war does not end soon and I am not one of those
who think it will, even if we beat them in Virginia, our prospects of a long
and dreary blockade is not an attractive future, for a life more entirely devoid
of everything which makes life pleasant you can scarce imagine, rolling and
tumbling about month in and month out. I am so busy however from morn-
ing to night, that I have scarcely time to consider whether I am enjoying
myself or not, and indeed were I not of a most quiet temperament which
enables me to avoid worry and sleep well o nights, I should break down, for
if the other Captains are kept up at night they can at least sleep in the day.
which wMth me is utterly out of the question, for even if not otherwise em-
ployed, someone wants to see me on business about every ten minutes in the
day, and the dispatches which come pouring in every other day almost,
and all of which I have to attend to in some way or other, are enough to
turn a mans head, and I often think that those must really have been good old
times when it was considered disreputable for a military man to read or write.
Every one who has been South a season is now beginning to require quinine,
and I among the number although my general health is excellent. Hot of
course it is, and although we are a mile from the bar and two from the nearest
land still we cannot escape from the mosquitoes, I would of course like to
have the war over but am willing to blockade for ten years or be subject to any
other inconvenience or hardship rather than give up an inch of our lawful
66o NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN PERCIVAL DRAYTON, 1861-1865
territory or make peace with traitors other than on our own terms, one of
which should be the entire wiping out of slavery to the Rio Grande. Before
this is gained however many more valuable lives must be lost and the nation
make many sacrifices but what nation has ever yet obtained a name in history
without passing through its period of trials, and ours cannot expect to escape
the common fate. The power of resistance developed by the rebellion at the
south if in any except a cause so unholy might excite our admiration, now one
can feel towards it only not contempt ....
I thought in the early part of the campaign that some thing decisive would
take place to our benefit, but scarcely do now. The Confederacy is not yet
sufficiently used up to permit the exertions we are willing to make, to suppress
it yet, and I must confess that I do not see how Grant's position is better
than that of McClellan. I hope of course to be proved an ignoramus. The
failure of all side issues everywhere has gone far to cripple the main opera-
tion. In the midst of all our trouble too, there is politics and fiction doing
all possible to disturb the operations of the government. Winter Davis talking
buncome about the Monroe doctrine which he believes in carrying out now as
Mr. Seward would, and if asked if he wanted war with France could scarcely
say yes, and if he does not mean this his talk is mere vaporing, and for eflFect with
the unthinking. A little despotism in government is a good thing I believe,
the only question is where to stop, and when.
When I commenced I did not intend to write about public matters but
it is hard to avoid it as you see.
The Union league have sent Farragut a sword in place of the one which
I believe every one thinks he ought to have received from the fair, It is in New
Orleans and we have not yet seen it but it is said to be very handsome.
I hope your gout will keep off both on your own account and mine, as I
am to hear from you during its absence.

. . . Tell Mrs. Hamilton that I doubt whether the administration of Wash-
ington could give satisfaction without success to our armies. I by no means
NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN PERCIVAL DRAYTON, 1861-1865 66 1
think that Mr. Lincoln and his Cabinet are without fauhs, but take any other
set of men that have been in office for the last thirty years and have they done
better. I can imagine a better state of things by far, but have we the material
among politicians. There is little doubt that the employing Butler and other
civilians was a mistake, but the question is, whether it is in human nature to
withstand the pressure brought to bear in favor of just such people. Things
look bad I think. Grant seems to have played his last card, and nothing seems
left but another year of war and mutual exhaustion, but it cant be helped, and
we must take it like men, and make the best of what is unavoidable. If we
suffer our Southern friends are certainly not on a bed of roses. I have been
saying all along we were halooing a little too soon, and it now certainly looks
so.
The iron clads dont appear to have done much at the James, but further than
maintain the river free which is vital to our army I scarcely see what is to be ex-
pected of them. I only wish we had some of them here and I think we could put
them to use, but this squadron is as much lost sight of as if it belonged to the Danes,
and now the best part of the season has passed, and we must soon expect Yellow
fever and hurricanes the former of which has already appeared at Pensacola among
some men who were brought out the other day packed like sheep in a pen, exposed
to all the inclemencies of the weather, and in this state taken into Key West where
the fever always is. However there is now no help for it, but it is only another
proof of the great advantage of a little prevention.
Remember me kindly to Mrs. Hamilton and all about you. As they say

Nothing new since my last except that we ran a large steamer ashore under
the guns of Fort Morgan, and have been trying to destroy her without receiv-
ing too much injury ourselves, which it is scarcely worth risking at present
unless for cause. I told you that the Loyal League or Club, presented the
Admiral with a sword, on the hilt are his initials in diamonds. Will you
do me the favor to ask Tiffany what he will charge to make just such a thing
in breastpin shape and of a proper size. The Admiral wants to know. I
dont know whether we are going to have the yellow fever in Pensacola or not
at one time things looked badly, but are now improving. As it is our store
house and work shop we might as well have it in the fleet at once. We owe
662 NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN PERCIVAL DRAYTON, 1861-1865
it to a draft of four hundred and odd men being sent out in a vessel with ac-
commodations for about lOO, and then she being sent into Key West where the
fever has been rife for two months. I think one can scarcely help referring
constantly to the saying of Oxernsten to his son "that when older he would learn
with how little wisdom the world was governed."

My DEAR Hamilton
After my seven weeks blockade of Mobile I am at last in port for a
day or two, the visit being rendered necessary to procure coal provisions &c.
I shall leave again tomorrow. The Admiral remained outside to watch
Buchanan although there is not one chance in a hundred of his doing anything
these bright nights, and as we now have an iron clad, the ''Manhattan/* if
he waits much longer we shall probably take the initiative ourselves. We
have lately been pretty busy with the blockaders having captured one driven
two on shore and chased the others so hard, that judging from the Mobile
papers, they were half frightened out of their lives. The difficulty of com-
pletely closing one of these Southern ports with its numerous entrances, is I
assure you no easy thing, except to those who have not got it to do. It is
the simplest thing in the world to go to the North pole while one is over a
comfortable fire, particularly to those who have never given it particular attention.
I am perfectly well so far, but we lose officers and men by the necessity of
invaliding them at a fearful rate. This climate does not suit the Northerner
thats certain, although quite healthy for those accustomed to it from birth.
The Bermuda by which I send this is just about starting, and as the
Captain is only waiting until I close this, I will take some other opportunity
of a quiet growl, for although I complain of people finding fault with us, it
does not seem to prevent my taking that full liberty myself when I think there
is occasion.
Hope you are passing the summer agreeably, which if you are not with all
your surroundings and capabilities you would be I trust ashamed to acknowl-
edge.

My dear Hoyt
I must give you the credit of being now what is called among men,
a good correspondent, Yours of June loth received a few days since having
settled the point both as to time and matter. You tell what all the people are
doing about you, and that is just what I want to hear. That you should
find fishing excursions and such little divertisements necessary however to
make the time pass agreeably, seems strange to me as it would to my com-
panions of the blockade, who cannot imagine anything needed beyond
quiet in a pleasant country to satisfy the most exacting person. Although
such is the inconsistency of human nature, perhaps after enjoying it for a few
weeks, we might even begin to look upon the blockade as bearable from the
necessity in us for change, I came in here yesterday to coal, get ammunition, and
do a great deal of squadron duty which our six weeks and more outside has
caused to be neglected, so that as usual I am very busy, I at least expected to have
quiet nights, which have been lately rather a rarity, but to my disgust and almost
horror at seven last evening was called to repair at once on board of our only
iron clad the Manhattan, as she was on fire. Fortunately a steamer which I had
sent in here in the morning for ammunition had a steam pump, and by using this
and shutting everything up close, we managed to extinguish the fire before much
damage was done, but as I did not get to my ship until midnight, I did not gain
much by my first night in port. I left the Admiral outside on board of our
Tennessee, as he did not like to leave there while the rebel one was in face. Al-
though scarcely a chance of her moving while these moonlight nights last, had I
not been satisfied of which I should have sent this vessel in with the first Lieu-
tenant and remained with the Admiral, although my doing so would have caused
much inconvenience in the future.
So our friend Mrs has wound up in a French prison. What a career
has been hers, more romantic than many a romance. The French are such a queer
people that she may on regaining her liberty find herself sought after more than
ever. I wonder what has become of the husband he seems to have disappeared
except from the Navy Register.
Blockading does not apparently disagree with me but still on weighing this
morning I had lost twelve pounds. In port I would probably have lost more for
this climate tells terribly on the northerner, and we invalid officers and men off at %
fearful rate notwithstanding the facilities a ship affords to take care of the sick.
I certainly however cannot complain of my own vessel, to prove which I send to
days report which has just been brought me, and out of the three names on it,
two dont really belong to us, having been invalided some time back and only
being on board awaiting the supply steamer to go North. The Admiral remained
outside to watch the iron clads of Buchannan which however will not move during
these bright nights, darkness being necessary to their success. As we have now
an iron clad, Farragut is becoming very restless, and if the necessities of the army
will spare us a few soldiers he wont stay quiet long. Unfortunately just as some-
664 NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIX PERCIVAL DRA^TOX, 1S61-1865
thing is planned, there is an uneasiness about Grant or Sherman, and away go
the regiments. I am afraid we shall with difficulty get over the injury caused by
Banks' inefficiency and its consequences, but politicians must live, whether the
Countr>- does or not. Gold at 250 will make it pretty hard finding the sinews,
and I hope befrjre long that we will adopt the Southern policy to take what we
want in men or material where we can find it and leave the matter of right to be
settled after the war is over, which wont last long with some such energetic
system. I suppose such principles would not be popular in Dutchess county
but I cant help it. After being an outlaw in my native state I might as well go
through with it. I am for crushing the rebellion even if we come down to the
original three millions of the first revolution in doing so, and am quite willing
that I should not be one of the surviving three. Men can easily be replaced,
principles once destroyed can not. Our affairs at present are not in as prosper-
ous a condition as one could desire, but war would not be the serious matter it is,
were it not for the alternate hope and fear that always accompanies it. The
people of our cities have been dancing and fiddling so long that they almost seem
to loc4c upon the crash of armies as the Romans did the fights of the gladiators
which were to be looked on from comfortable seats and there criticized. But
this cant last forever, sooner or later war becomes a most serious matter to the
whole community in some wav or other, and our war is not likelv to offer an ex-
ception to the rule, as even the owners of three hundred dollars will find out
However I wont get off too strongly in the censorious vein. Our people do a

Our supply vessel the Admiral has just arrived and leaves in an hour for
the North. I promised some time since to get some cigars, and have been looking
for them for near three months, but they have been delayed owing to various
causes, principally yellow fever in Key West. In the mean time to keep the
matter in mind, I send you by the Admiral five boxes which I happened to have.
Give two to Hoyt and go ahead on the others, and I hope that they may tend to
quiet you down in these exciting times, and will I trust be doubly welcome, as
your conscience might worry you were you to purchase luxuries of this descrip-
tion, in these times of retrenchment and selfsacrifice.
In the same package you will find two books belonging to Carroll Livingston,
four Navy Registers, of which we have plenty here, and, I thought you might
like to give them away, (one is for Ho\'t,) and a book on iron clads which may
NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN PERCIVAL DRAYTON, 1861-1865 665
interest you. as also a register of our Squadron which I had printed on board for
my convenience and that of the other officers in command.
If the army is not bullied by raids elsewhere I think you will soon hear of
something doing in this neighborhood, although we have been put off so long,
that I am afraid the bad weather is on us, which will interfere materially with
our plans. Time perhaps the most important element in war like operations, is
sadly lost sight of.
Capt Eaton of the Admiral has promised to put my package for you in the
express on arrival at New York, so if you do not hear of it drop him a line at
the Navy Yard on the subject.
I received a letter from Hoyt yesterday in which he alludes to some remark
of mine as to my never hearing from him. Tell him that he has become so

them.

My DEAR Hamilton
I have just received your two letters of 19 & 20 ult. which as usual are very
interesting to me.
I am very sorry to hear that Syl continues in her peculiar ways of thinking, I
thought she had more spirit than to want peace at any price, that is giving up
territory slavery and everything else we have been fighting for. It is well that the
people who are bearing to an equal extent the burdens and in addition the hard-
ships of the war, have more pluck and endurance, or we should be a disgraced
people in history to come and that is always bad I dont think you are quite sound
either with your Democratic proclivities. The faults of the war are owing to the
character of our people, too much comfort and consequent effeminacy. The
southern people are just in that condition which is best for fighting plenty of food
and little pelf. How, if you are in favor of an energetic prosecution of the war,
you are in favor of putting in that party which to a certain extent is opposed to
it, is beyond my comprehension. However every man can only act accordin^^
to his convictions and you are as much interested in the country and its integrity
as I am perhaps more.
However all of the Captains are on board to arrange for going into Mobile
which we will do tomorrow if we can get the Tecumseh irom Pensacola.

I enclose a letter for Craven with one from his brother who was lost in the
Tecumseh. I have forgotten where he lives and must ask you to put on it the
proper direction. His brothers death was a sad one just as he had an oppor-
tunity of making his mark, for his vessel was the only one of the ironclads worth
much, and I am satisfied that what one of his officers who was saved said to me
was correct which was, "Captain had our vessel not been lost you would have
seen a regular iron clad fight, our vessel was a perfect man of war, ready for
anything, we had the utmost confidence in our captain and I dont think the
NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTALN PERCIVAL DRAYTON, 1861-1865 667
Tennessee could have stood before us for fifteen minutes/* All this I doubt not
was correct, and had the Tecumseh floated a little longer we should have had
no after fight with the enemy's iron clad. How it is that all the other vessels
escaped from torpedoes is a mystery, for we see by the books captured at fort
James, that about ninety were planted on the 3d and 4th alone. I suspect that
their harmlessness consists in the great difficulty of keeping the powder dry. At
any rate it is a horrid kind of warfare, not worse than mines perhaps,
although more efficacious. We are still beseiging Morgan, which will stand
out longer than the army people imagine. They blow tremendously and seem
to calculate all the time on what they call demoralization. I should think at this
stage of the war they might have learnt that we seldom gain anything without
hard fighting. I see an account in the Herald of the 6th of our attack and
passage of the forts on the 30th July. What a canard. But the worst of it is,
that the iron ships are doubled, mortar vessels added, and we hammering away
at the city of Mobile. Who says we are not a hopeful people. The fall of
Mobile is no doubt hourly looked for, and if twenty thousand men take it they
will do well, and our force is three, and to get this New Orleans has been left
almost defenceless. I suppose the sheep who run away from their own homes
when they are attacked, wont stop a raid of a few horsemen, and ought to see
from Richmond and Atlanta that Southern towns dont fall very easily, will pitch
into Farragut for not taking this one with a few light draft ships, which cannot
approach until obstructions are removed even near enough to use their rifle
guns, and to remove these, the troops must control the forts that protect them.
However your neighbours feel dont allow yourself to be too sanguine about
Mobile. Fort Morgan has at least to be taken first, as until then not a man can
be spared for anything else. We are getting a naval battery of four nine inch
gims to bear upon it. but you know how difficult breaching is where the glacis
entirely protects the scarp, and if the garrison has any endurance, the place must
be carried by regular approaches and finally by assault. At least our passage of
the forts is the single piece of good luck this year. Everywhere else we have
cither been beaten or remained pretty much at a stand off.
I have been so run down that this is the first letter I have been able to write of
a private character since the day we came in. I never was so worked in my life.
Why fighting is mere child's play compared to the preparations required for it,
and the keeping ones forces supplied with food coal ammunition &c particularly
when as in the present case the main avenue of communication is blocked up.
I received a letter from Hovt with one from vou vesterday. He almost seems
to despair of the Republic, we who are not within reach of politics view things
in a better light. The Admiral has not been well for a few days past suffering
a fT^ood deal from your old enemy boils, and in the midst of it and of our incessant
work we have had fixed on us one or two loafing curiosity hunters, one a son
of V , totally uninteresting, but who on the strength of a letter from
Banks (all politeness of course, no friendship) quietly came on board with
their baggage, and I understand from Palmer that it requires all his tact to save
us from others. I think all the time of the courtier who came to Hotspur for
his prisoners.

My DEAR Hamilton
I have not heard from you very lately and am afraid that I have not myself
written. The fact is that if I was not in a very healthy condition and living on
oatmeal and water, I should have been used up long ago as almost every one
else has been, even the Admiral who prides himself on standing every thing, but
then he will drink a little wine and eat meat at breakfast.
Throwing aside joking however, owing to a variety of causes many temporary
others belonging unavoidably to my position, I feel that I am overworked, for
from before breakfast until ten oclock at night I am seldom unoccupied with
squadron matters for five minutes at a time, and this is not exactly the climate fo*
such devotion to business. I believe in all time and more so now than ever, the
real hard work of military life is in the preparation for, not tlie actual fighting. As
usual owing to a want of troops w^e have I am afraid lost the favorable chance
to take Mobile, which could have been done with ten thousand men, but later wiM
probably fail with twenty. It is the old story of the coat not being long enough
and first piecing the skirt at the expense of the collar and then the reverse.
Whether true or not we are always crying out no men, and to a certain extent it
is perhaps true, for from the fearful way in which ours are being gobbled up
everywhere, I wonder that any are left at all. Judging from the great facility
with which the enemy catch our men, I suspect they dont offer much resistance,
and if half we see in the papers is true, I think it is the Northern w-hite, not
the Southern black, from which the real slave element is to be shaped, for it looks
as if any degredation would be quietly suffered rather than fight The militia
of Georgia captured Stoneman, a few horsemen went quietly through Pennsyl-
vania as the same number of Mamlukes might formerly have done through
Egypt. However there is no use of talking about what is fate I suppose. Have
you heard anything from Tiffany about the Admirals breastpin. Find out when
it is to be finished and the price.
As you pass by Brooks Broadway and Broome St. I think, will you stop, and
order for me a Captains uniform coat. There is a fat man there in front on

second story, and who knows all about my measure, which he took last about in
November. I will send directions for its reaching me.
I got a letter from Syl a day or two since. She seems in a high state of
excitement about the taxes and expenses of living, but in other respects appears
to me to look upon our war very much as an Englishman or Frenchman might,
this is incomprehensible but I suppose not be considered now strange.
The soldiers have pretty much gone off to some threatened point elsewhere,
and were it not for the ships I doubt if we would be allowed to remain long even
in fort Morgan.
As I find I have got into rather a grumbling vein which I cant get out of
I wont write anv more until in a more cheerful mood so until then with kind

I enclose you a letter from Mrs. Jackson who wrote to say how pleased she
was at the present for her little girl which Mrs Hamilton and yourself was kind
enough to select. As I am not sure whether it will ever get beyond the New
York Hotel without your assistance, will you as you pass by there inquire her
direction and add it on to what I have placed there. No change here since I
last wrote. All the troops have gone pretty much, and we are very much at a
standstill. Perhaps the fall of Atlanta may relieve some of Canby's men, in
which case I think it wont be difficult to take Mobile, although I dont believe it
will be of much importance to us except as a base of operations when prepared
to move into the interior.
As our ship is not much use here until something is determined on, I sup-
pose the Admiral will go to Pensacola when we finish with a Court martial which
is sitting on two or three hard cases.
There is a talk of Farraguts going North, whether that means this ship or
not I dont know, but I should think it would, so until I hear further vou need not
trouble yourself to order my coat although if it has been already done, let it go

Sepr 16 1864
My dear Hamilton
I received a couple of your letters yesterday one late the 29th, the other
rather old. What you tell me of the 15,000 men left of all Grants great army
is appalling. Perhaps Xerxes, had he commanded an army of Americans, would
not have placed their disappearance from this earth at such a remote period.
Why if we dont come to a draft soon, eight hundred dollars for an average
service of perhaps six months would soon finish not only the treasure of the
Union but that of the united world. Yet if we are to believe the signs of the
times, 9ur people have made up their minds that fight they wont. So when no
more money is to be had to bribe, I suppose we will give in. It is a distressing
view to take of the matter but I am afraid not very far from a true one, and
after all I go for the doctrine of the majority, if for no other reasons, for the
very good one that Jeff Davis believes it to be false, and if the majority deter-
mines, that not satisfied with the black men being slaves, the Southerners may
have the northern whites also, why I am prepared to bow my neck. We must
have some government, and I dont know a fairer or in the long run a more
civilizing one than that of the greatest number. To prevent this terrible dis-
grace and crime against humanity however, I am prepared to resist to the last,
and trust that the common sence of the masses will soon react, and that thev will
perceive that if we are not to be a byword in history, we must not earn ease and
temporary relief from the pressure of our enemy at the expense of ever\'thing
that would make these worth having. However I never could understand pol-
itics and politicians. I only see by reference to the past, that every free
country has been lost, by the selfish determination of the outs to get in, and I
suppose we are not to be a marked exception. The Southerners are now called
into our domestic affairs just as the Russians were admitted into those of
Poland.
You tell me you have some gold and greenbacks of mine. Keep the gold
and invest the other in government securities.
I send you a photograph of the ram Tennessee taken at New Orleans where
she now is.
No change here. The troops have all gone except just enough to garrison
the forts, and we are prowling round the defences at the cit>' with our light iron
clads and other small vessels. This keeps them in a state of great excitement
there, and the garrison is being increased in every possible ^^ay, and by the late
papers we see that not only Forrest and Dick Taylor but a half dozen of other
generals have come to the rescue.

After the letters had gone I found on my table the first part of one to you.
I now enclose it, not that there is anything that makes it worth while doing so,
but to explain the sequel. I will also add what I there forgot, when the Brooch is
finished send it to Mrs Farragut at Hastings.
Nothing new here we are anxiously looking for a return of Canby's troops
to break up the monotony of our life. As the Mississippi river is now pretty
quiet, there ought to be a move made in this direction before long. Without it,
I dont believe that Sherman will do much more at present, as he could scarcely
spread himself much more unless he could look for assistance either in this direc-
tion or on the Atlantic coast.
We have had one of the first Northers of the season to day, and it makes
the temperature quite pleasantly cool, although I find that the thermometer is
at 78°. At 70 we shall be putting on our overcoats.
Remembrances to Mrs. Hamilton and believe me yours sincerely

My DEAR Hamilton
Nothing to tell you since my last. We in something like the position of the
British forces before Antwerp, "Sir Richard Strachan waiting for the Earl of
Chatham" &c. A move on Mobile now would greatly assist Sherman but it
cant be made without men.
The weather is very hot and with the yellow fever quite bad in New Orleans
on one side, and the break bone fever at Pensacola on the other, we are pretty
fortunate that we remain so healthy, particularly as under the greed produced
by the new bounties, we were receiving shoals of the most wretched recruits I
ever saw. just right for disease.
I think I mentioned that the letter you enclosed reached the young man for
whom it was intended on the Metacomet.
I in turn will get you to let one of your young men attend to the payment of
a subscription to Frank Leslies weekly which will be explained by the note ac-
companying the money. Please keep the receipt until you hear further from me
however, as we may be recalled from this station, in which case it might be lost.
When anything is decided on this subject I will write you further.
We have certainly been meeting with a good deal of success lately, but still
there is little chance of any treating until the South is ready to give up the inde-
672 NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN PERCIVAL DRAYTON, 1861-1865
pendence point, and that it wont do until we beat at least one of its great armies.
There may be trouble in supplying the large bodies of men collected about Rich-
mond and Atlanta, but I dont believe that there is any want of provisions in the
country generally, in proof of which we can buy chickens and eggs cheaper in
this neighborhood than at New Orleans, or even New York I suspect, the former
being only six dollars a dozen.
I enclose a note from the Admiral with five hundred to pay for the pin, and
the remainder send to his wife at Hastings, The intention was to make the
matter a surprise, but as in such cases usually occurs, the secret was too much for
him, and perhaps he would not have been a good husband had it been otherwise.
Many thanks for your and Mrs. Hamiltons kind desire that I should make num-
ber eleven in your well filled house. The idea of such a thing being possible,
is in itself tantalizing at this distance, for I shall always look upon the quiet
times I enjoyed with Mrs. Hamilton and yourself in the Square as among the
pleasantest of my life.

Mv DEAR Mrs. Hoyt
I received your very pleasant letter acknowledging the receipt of tlie
rebel Sword yesterday. It is not a very effective weapon as you say but you
would find it dangeous enough even in its blunted condition, particularly if the
point is used. In modern warfare however it is a weapon little prized except
by the cavalry, although it is considered as indispensable to mark the oflScer, and
all those who had none at the surrender of the forts were obliged to account for
such an omission, which some did by telling gross lies, being ashamed to acknowl-
edge that they had been thrown away or broken to prevent our getting them.
The Commander of the fort Page was one of those who had no side arms, and
for some time in consequence the business of the Surrender was stopped as my
coadjutor General Bailey refused to proceed until this was fully accounted for.
The fact was as I told them that they seemed to have no hesitation in giving up
their persons to save their lives but stuck at the rendering of a sword, to the per-
sons who according to all the rules of war were entitled to it. However from my
experience of the Southern officer he is a pretty common fellow, and evidently
goes strongly for melodramatic effect and nothing else. The excuse of one of
the prisoners was that he had lost his sword at Vicksburg and had not been able
to raise money enough since to purchase another.
NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN PERCIVAL DRAYTON, 1861-1865 673
1 thought a short time since that there was a chance of our coming North,
but it is now I think settled that we remain here at least for a time. Although
I would of all things like to see my friends again, still I dont know but it is better
to stay where I am for the present. There would be little chance of my remain-
ing at home more than a month, and indeed I would not care about doing so
while the war lasts. This being the case I am better off here perhaps at least for
the winter, than I would be on any other station, and I dont believe in the
practicability of taking Wilmington, except with light iron clads, which we have
not, and if we had, could not use at this season. Were it not for Prices raid in
Missouri, which has necessitated the withdrawal of troops from this Department
we should by this time have most probably been in possession of Mobile. In the
meantime the Rebs are as usual fortifying immensely, which however as we
generally take the fortifications does not matter much. This bay being thirty
miles deep we have it pretty rough sometimes where we are at anchor, but tlie
condition of things is so vastly improved, from the outside blockade which has
been kept up for the last three years without a minutes intermission, that no one
complains. Our life is rather a monotonous one as you may suppose, but I am so
busy from morning to night that it makes little difference to me where we are
or what doing. We have the yellow fever on one side at New Orleans and what
is called the break bone fever at Pensacola on the other, and as we are in con-
stant commimication with both, it is rather remarkable how free we keep from
sickness, although with all my supposed imnnmity from such things I could not
entirely escape the latter, which much to my surprise kept me in bed for three
days. It is a most singular disease and although few cases have proved fatal,
out of several thousand persons at Pensacola it is said that scarcely one has es-
caped at least a touch of it.
I am glad to hear what you tell me of John Astors vote as it proves that a
very considerable change must have taken place in public opinion since the
Chicago platform arrangement. McClellan might be perhaps borne but to take
Pennington (a man who from his antecedents might well have his seat in the
Southern congress), would be a little too much. How what is called the Peace
party could take root in our coiuitry under present circumstances, is I must con-
fess beyond my comprehension, but then so is lying and stealing, but yet they exist
and not to a small degree. With all our plunders and blunders, we seem to be
steadily advancing towards the conquest of the south and the freeing of the slave
population, which goes far toward the accomplishment of that end. When tliese
two things arc done, wc can have not only an honorable peace but one made in
the interest of niodcrn civilization, until these objects are attained I cannot under-
stand how any American, possessed to the least degree of what the world call
love of country can talk of Peace and indeed I am satisfied that the persons who
do so must feel that it is a sacrifice of future self respect to present and by no
means very durable comfort. I hope you will find a house to suit you this winter,
if only for Angelica at whose age a little town dissipation is almost a necessity, but
yet if half I hear of high rents be true I am afraid you must pay most extrava-
gantly for the luxury. How people manage to make the two ends meet with the
enormously increased prices of all articles even of prime necessity and which
674 NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN PERCIVAL DRAYTON, 1S61-1865
must be had is more than I can imai^ine. The sacrifice which the Southerners
make however willingly are so incalculably beyond anything which we are called
on for, that our people ought to be shamed into patience. War is the most ex-
pensive of all luxuries and can only be carried on at the expense of the others.
That it is a great curse I suppose every one will admit, but those nations who
persistently refuse the wager of battle do so only at the sacrifice of their dearest
rights, and will not long keep property independence or even life. However I
trust the elections will give a quietus to that party among us which places a life
of ease above national honor or the rights of humanity. Large numbers of
people black and white are constantly finding their way into our lines. They
describe great misery existing everywhere, but not a scarcity of provisions.
But the great trouble seems to be the disposal of the women and children who are
left without protection, and without means of earning a living.
A large mail was taken lately in Mississippi and among the letters were many
from high officials, recommending the arming of the negroes. As a sample, I
enclose one. This ought to make those among us who pretend to have scruples
on the subject feel a little foolish.
I cannot commiserate with vou on the absence of visitors this summer. To
me living constantly in a crowd the perfect quiet of a country house seems the
perfection of life, although very probably after trying it for some time I might
think differently.. ..

My DEAR Hamilton
I received your letter of the 14th I suppose, although it is dated the 4th
that of my letter which you acknowledge. The enclosure for the Admiral I gave
him. Much obliged for having invested my funds, which you need not have held
thinking I might find use for them here. Why except at rare intervals for the
purchase of a few chckens and some eggs, money is of no more service here, than
it would have been in the Sandwich Islands when they were discovered. We are
in that delightful condition, of persons without wants or what is the same thing
without the possibility of gratifying them. If worth a million I could not resign
during the war, and without doing so, it would personally be of no more value
than so many chips. To be sure Syl or some of my relations might spend
it. but that is not looked upon as entirely satisfactory.
What a time they must have had at Drayton house with the Archbishop and
his supporters. I for one howe\'er would rather read about it than see it.

Xc) clianj^e here, the rebels arc straining every effort to get their troops across
the Mississippi, and this keeps Canby so busy in that neighborhood and Missouri,
that he cannot spare a man for us.
The papers talk of large forces being collected apparently for the attack of
Wilmington. I for one do not think it possible to do anything there this winter,
The big ships might fire outside for a year, and we have no light class iron clads,
and had we could not use them at this season. A very large land force might
perhaps be landed north of fort fisher, but where is this force to come from. I
should not think Grant could spare it. and if he could, it is no joke to land troops
on the Atlantic coast in winter. Porter is however a smart fellow and will do
all that is possible under the circumstances..

My dear Hamilton
I reached here last evening and found that my sister in laws mother
Mrs. Coleman had only died the day before from the effects of an accident
caused by her horses running away which slight in itself was too much for an old
lady in feeble health.
Had my brother telegraphed me the fact I should not have come on, as it is
not pleasant to be in a house under such circumstances although the death was
not in it. I left the Admiral well, His stay is so uncertain that I thought I might
as well come here to see my brother, as I could do nothing further either for him
or myself. He lives in society from morning to night, and seems to enjoy the
excitement much. He and his wife went to the opera with the President and
lady the night before I came away. The former quite won Mrs F's heart by his
genial manner. She would not tell much that occurred for fear of its getting
into the papers, as she said, but one joke I must repeat. She remarked how
pleasantly distance softened the music yes was the response it is like time on
whisky.
The skates have arrived for which I am much obliged. Tell Mrs Hamilton
I will see that the photographs are returned in due time. It was not necessary
to pay any postage so I hope you did not go to the expense of stamps although if
you did save them, it was unusual economy on your part.
I think nothing will be decided about the Squadron, until the question of pro-
motion is settled in the meantime I shall secure at least a few weeks rest.
Glad to hear the children are well again in 56, and hope the same may be said
of 18 leaving out again.
Hoyt is like the Admiral dinner almost always produces an unfavorable effect

My dear Hamilton
Your letter and its enclosure was duly received. I have just receivt
one from Mrs F written in great excitement at the sudden departure of tl
Adml, who it seems was sent off in the most sudden and unprepared manner ;
ten oclock at night after a short interview with the President, She says th;
both the Secretary and the Adml wanted me very much but there was no time '
be lost, The papers say he has gone to the James, but she only knows that 1
left for Annapolis. We seem not for the first time this war to have been caugl
napping by the enemy, who must I suppose have taken advantage of the absent
of our iron clads, as this can however I suppose be soon remedied if their fir
attack was defeated, there ought not to be much danger to be apprehended froi
a second.
If I felt any security that I would catch the Admiral whose absence the Seen
tary assures Mrs F is only to be for a very few days I would go off at once an
join him In the meantime I have written to beg that I may be sent to do s
should tlicre be any prospect of his detention where he now is.
The question of the command of the West gulf is finally settled and again;
both Rodgers and myself in favor of a Commodore Thatcher an old and ver
good officer who was in the attack on fort Fisher, and whose ship being require
for other service he had to be detached from her. The reason given is th<
Rodgers friends in Washington who arc very powerful, were so persistent i
urging his claims, against mine that for the sake of peace the question had to b
settled in favor of a third party. This of course is not very satisfactory, but
must do. As the decision is likely to give me a little rest the disappointmer
is not by any means what it would perhaps have been after six months at hom<
In the meantime I am doing all I can to utilize the cold weather in buildin
myself up for future work. I skated yesterday and to day besides taking an
amount of walking in addition, and breakfast at eight.
If not ordered to join Farragut I shall remain here a week or ten days mon
and I trust that his remaining in the James will be settled at once, for I dont lik
a continuance of this hanging on by the eyelids.
If you want to send anything to the Admiral or Mrs F. direct care of Ho
Clideon Welles Navy Dept as Mrs F is staying at his house at present. Tli
photographs of Fort Morgan arrived safely.

My dear Hamilton
Glad to hear that you have been enjoying yourself in the coiuitry. The hours
spent in the open air skating or coasting are worth to you more than even the
l)est paid ones passed in your office, always supposing you can bear the loss of
payinj:; time.
I have been following up my preaching for the last week by the most inde-
fatigable skating, which has occupied my day to such an extent that I am really
glad at a thaw, which today puts a stop to the amusement, and gives me an oppor-
tunity of doing many things which I have been obliged to let slide.
You will see that the Admiral has got back from the James, having found
that there was nothing for him to do there. I received this morning a long letter
from Mrs F. w^ho does not seem to like the gratification that her man derives
from being sent off in this way at a moments notice. The fact is that after occupy-
ing so prominent a position for years the Admiral I suppose does not like to come
down to an officer on no particular duty even with the douceur of the Vice
Admiralty. He is about organizing the board which is to recommend persons
for promotion. In the beginning to all appearances a simple matter but which
will I think take proportions that will go far to make it a most troublesome job.
I shall remain here at least a week longer perhaps ten days, and when I do
come on will be very glad to occupy one of your small rooms at 18 if it should be
undisposed of, for a week or so, but I dont want to leave here until quite sure that
I shall not be required at Washington.
Enclosed are some stamps that you may not have both trouble and ex-
pense when you forward my letters.

Mv DEAR Hamilton
Much obliged for the letters you sent me and whch arrived this morning.
I have been trying to get away from here for a week but there is always some-
thing to detain me. I hope now to get off the end of this or beginning of the
next w-eek but will let vou know of the dav, before I start.
I hear pretty regularly from the Admiral or Mrs Farragut. They are enjoy-
ing themselves much in the way of dinner parties one of which was at the Presi-
dents. I hope the Admiral wont use himself up which he is bound to do, if he
<loes not hold in a little. This terrible snow storm has broken up the most delight-

I am very sorry to hear that you are as we express it, under the weather,
more skating and less indoor work, would perhaps go far to guard against another
attack, suppose you try the system.
I am sorry to miss Mrs Hoyt but could not get away from here. I hope now
however to do so on Saturday, and shall trust to see you at dinner in your usual
good health and spirits.
The weather is perfectly execrable but before it fairly set in this morning ta
snow and sleet, I managed a couple of hours skating.
As you say the Admiral is most certainly going through almost as much risk
of life with all his dissipation as he has in his battles, and I am really afraid that
he will seriously impair his health before the winter is over. I have written to
tell his wife that because I am away she must not permit him to run wild, and get
back to the late hours which through constant lecturing I thought to have some-
what broken in on.

We arrived here this morning and are now quietly at the wharf to remain
perhaps until tomorrow when after taking General Grants evidence in the case,
we shall move up the river near the obstructions where our fleet is lying at
anchor, so as to be able to get witnesses without too much inconvenience. The
weather here is charming, regular Spring, but still the roads are said to be so
execrable that Grant says he could not possibly move artillery, but he evidently
NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN PERCIVAL DRAYTON, 1861-1865 679
thinks could he, that Lees army would be non est in a week. We passed an hour
wth him this morning. His log house is small but clean and comfortable, and
differs little from the others which are arranged on each side in regular rows
for his staff, forming together quite a village, on a bluff overlooking the river,
He showed us his medal which is massive enough but no high order of work-
manship, having on one side a likeness which far from does him justice, as his
appearance is quite pleasing, and with as little the appearance of a man who
drinks as any one I have ever seen, from which I judge that he is now at least a
sober man. He left Washington on the afternoon of the day I wrote to you.. ..
We are very comfortably established on board here, and as no one is permitted
on board but the court of seven members, there is plenty of room and some to
spare, and altogether it is so far superior in comfort and gentility to Willards,
as can well be conceived. Jenkins is with us and keeps up a pretty constant flow
of talk notwithstanding the many jokes he has to bear on the subject. All kind
of battles are fought, and we have every detail of the capture of Fort Fisher.
Grant was unusually chatty this morning and quite astonished those who had
seen him before by his fluency. Among other things he said that Sheridan was
the best cavalry officer alive, or that ever had lived. I am not sure which, either
is strong, and that there was no better infantry man. When you write give me
Ballars epitaph about "taking other things." Notwithstanding all the talk, I
am going right through my German books and shall have to send for some more
soon if I am not given more to do. . . .
Deserters come in freely and speak of great loss of heart. They say the men
will not fight any more, and that a great part would run away, but for thinking
that Shermans advance will soon cause the necessary breaking up of their army,
when they can get off as stragglers or prisoners, not liking the name of deserter
to be attached to them.
Grant says his army could be divided and one half beat Lee's if he could get
at it, and it seems to be thought tliat a few more days of the windy dry weather
we have had will put the roads in order

My dear Hamilton
The return mail does not seem to be much more rapid in arriving here,
than the one we send North is in reaching you, as your letter of the 22d only got
to me this morning. To be sure I am not exactly at City Point although that is
my Post office, but at a place called Varina landing about twenty miles above,
where we moved the steamer after taking General Grants evidence, so as to be
more convenient to our iron clads on board of which are most of the remaining
68o NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN PERCIVAL DRAYTON, 1861-1865
witnesses. We finished with Parker's case on Saturday, and hope to do so with
the other three which are of less importance by the end of the week, when we
shall return to Washington and await further orders.
Last Sunday I spent with Meade at his head quarters, and took with him a
long ride along our lines. To me they did not look at all strong, although he
considered them nearly impregnable as he did those of the enemy. They would
perhaps be so where the two armies are pretty nearly matched in numbers, but
otherwise certainly not I should think on the side of the weaker party. I saw
your nephew Phil, as well as the tower which figured so largely in his Fathers
account, but much as I am always given to ascend such places, was obliged to
give it up, when I found it could only be done by keeping Mead and a .cavalcade
of at least forty persons waiting for me until I had got my view from the Summit,
no one of the party having curiosity enough to offer to accompany me in the
ascent. However we have one a little above where we now are which is of
the same height, and commands a finer view, taking in as it does all of the river
and its batteries up to Richmond, this I took the earliest occasion to ascend. It
is just above the Dutch gap canal which is I should say a perfect failure for the
purpose for which it was intended. Today we were to have spent with General
Ord whose headquarters are on the North side of the river, but the wind is so
high and the weather so disagreeable that no one will bring themselves up to the
uncomfortablenes§.. of riding over the country on such a day.
As I was breakfasting with Porter yesterday a telegraph came from Grant,
stating that the enemy had broken through our line near Petersburg, and would
probably make for City Point, and calling for Gunboats in the Appomattox.
This of course caused a little momentary excitement, and there was an immediate
hurrying off of our vessels, to the scene of action, but as we learned in the evening
the attempt whether real or false came to grief, as Grant reported that he had
taken two thousand prisoners and driven back the Rebs. The attempt must have
been I think a blind to some other movement, perhaps an attack on Sheridan, who
is moving this way, and is looked for tonight. Our vessel is very comfortable but
I must confess the eating department might be better. There being no market
however within reach it is not easy to obtain the necessary material to work on.
This docs not as you may well suppose cause me much thought and thanks to the
plain living and a reasonable amount of exercise I am getting into fine condition
again.
Much obliged for the epigram on Butler, which I have every reason to believe
was written by Porter, who it seems is much given to such things
There must be a fearful time in Wall Street. I suspect many of those who a
few weeks back supposed that they had fortune in a string, begin to perceive
that the feeble Goddess has not changed her character. Gold is however not to
be long kept down to fifty or sixty premium of this I am convinced. The end
is not yet, although we are perhaps almost within sight of it, but much money is
to be used up before we can even think of retrenching, and until we do there \s
no chance of a steady appreciation in greenbacks.
You can send me all letters from outside the city those from within please open
and answer if necessary. Yesterday Meade was here with a dozen Philadi
NAVAL LETTERS FROM CAPTAIN PERCIVAL DRAYTON, 1861-1865 68 1
women including his wife and family. Stanton with a large party a day or two
before, and the President is about to day. so you may well suppose that this is
a great place for excursionists. Indeed it would appear as if no public business
could be transacted without a certain number of the fair sex being parties to it.
I understand there are rules against officers having their wives with them,
but as Grant and his staflF seem to have at least one a piece. Mead's is about, and
Genl Ord just came on board with his. I suppose that like a great many other
rules it is intended to apply to the little fellows not the big ones.. ..
The Admiral is I think in Norfolk but I have not heard from him since I left
Washington. The board of which he was President decided on certain persons
for promotion, and sent their names into the Senate for confirmation just a half
hour too late, I am afraid now it will have to go over to the next Congress. The
matter was badly managed, there having been I think a good deal of unnecessary
delay in coming to a decision.
Jenkins begs to be remembered to Mrs Hamilton and yourself, and with the
same from me to Mrs Hamilton Mrs Livingston and the young people in the
house I am as alwavs
