Phil" and "Phil" and writes of business and of his happiness in being newly married. In the 1862 letter Crawford complains of the drunken antics of the recently-appointed U. S. Consul. This was apparently Thomas MacDowell, appointed in 1862. He also asks Phil to invest $5000 in the name of Crawford's wife which he gives as Sarah Thatcher Coates. Embossed on the later letter: "G.S.

976. University Place Book Shop. Eighty-Two Catalogs issued Between 1935 and its Closing in 1995. The earliest is a List which has been later dated in pencil as 1935. Others are Numbered 7, 11, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 83, 84, 89, 93, 105, 106, 110, 113, 117, 120, 121-172, 174, 175, 182, 186, and 191-199. Also included in the collection are at least an equal number of duplicates. Condition and size vary but most are Good or better. Most of the later catalogs are brief four-page affairs (generally 22cm.) listing 100 items or less. There are a few exceptions: Catalog 162 was issued in 20 parts and listed 3243 items on Africa. This offering may be the largest extant collection of catalogs issued by this important firm. Founded by Walter Goldwater in the 1930s, University Place Book Shop became best known for its specialization in material on Africa, African Americans, Slavery, and Afro-Caribbean writers. Almost all of these catalogs relate to those subjects although some of the early catalogs reflect Walter's interest in early books and in a variety of other subjects such as checkers or radicalism. Bill French began working for Walter in 1960 and eventually inherited the shop. Through hard work and insatiable curiosity, Bill developed great bibliographic expertise in their fields of specialization. These catalogs came from Bill's personal collection after his death in 1997. 500.00
