Description:
This British composer and pianist accompanied many famed musicians of the day -- singers Enrico Caruso, Titta Ruffo, Richard Tauber, John McCormack, Beniamino Gigli and violinists Fritz Kreisler and Mischa Elman -- and as a composer his main claim to fame is the sacred song "Ave Maria." AMuQS, 1p, 5" X 3" (irregular top edge), n.p., 20 November 1958. Very good. On pale blue stock, Kahn writes out three music measures of notes and words, identifying it as "Ave Maria" at top and at bottom writes, "To Mr. C.D. Paramey, with all good / wishes from / Percy B. Kahn / Nov:20th 58." He also initials it in upper right corner. A lovely older age example of the composer's best-known piece.

Jackson County, FL, 1847. unbound. 1 page, 3.5 x 7.5 inches, Jackson County [Florida], February 5, 1847 -- a probate court receipt acknowledging that "Elijah Bryon, Administrator of William Bryon, received the following property awarded to me by the commissioners appointed by the Hon. Richard H. Long, Judge of Probate, for the County of Jackson, one-fifth of three-hundred and twenty acres of land (undivided) and the following slaves: Mary, Ginny and child, and Jerry valued at $1500 and three-hundred and thirty one dollars and forty-five cents of the other personal property, as my position of said Estate." Signed at the bottom: "Elijah Bryan, guardian for Joseph M. Bryan" and docketed on the bacl: "E. Bryan" and "Richard H. Long, J.P.C." Richard H. Long (1791 - 1865) was appointed by the Territorial Governor in 1833 to complete the land sale between S. Brown and the Apalachicola, Tustenuggee, and Hadjo tribes, treating the Indians fairly. He was a representative to Florida's first Constitutional Convention and later served as Speaker of the House. During the Civil War he rose to the rank of Colonel of a Florida Regiment and saw much action in the field. His body was recently located in a forgotten Confederate cemetery. Elijah H. Long was known for building a 5,200-acre plantation for his mother. The family was well known in Jackson County and, evidently, all were slave owners. One horizontal fold; uniformly toned. Very good condition.<br/><br/>
