    N. Barclay letters to Forbes Barclay

    Manuscripts

    These are two manuscript letters, written to Forbes Barclay by an unidentified "N. Barclay". HM 16940 features vertical and horizontal cross-hatch writing concerning business and personal details, and is dated May 22, 1840. HM 16941, which appears to be written in a diary format, discusses details of shipping and various social engagements, and is dated July 29-August 2, 1840, and is incomplete and damaged; the pages are numbered 17-20. These letters seem to be detailed updates of business and personal affairs of various individuals for the benefit of Forbes Barclay, who is, at this time, in absentia from his Scotland home.

    [Barclay & Co. advertisement for "Life and confession of John D. Lee, the Mormon" and "Five years among the Indians"]

    Rare Books

    Two-sided circular with advertisements for: "LIfe and confession of John D. Lee, the Mormon. With a full account of the Mountain Meadows Massacere and execution of Lee" and "Five years among the Indians" by Mary Barber. Both are illustrated with somewhat sensationalist depictions of the subject matter. Publications are priced "25 cents" and the bottom of "LIfe and confessions" reads, "Don't destroy this circular. Please keep it until the agent calls with the book"; and bottom of "Five years among the Indians": "This interesting work can be obtained only from the agent, who will soon call for this circular." Probable date for the publication of this circular is 1877, when "Life and confession" was first published by Barclay & Co. "Five years" was first published in 1872 and re-issued several times through 1900. Barclay & Co. were located in Philadelphia.
