Letter to the President from a Mugwump critic
A long dated missive to the President critiques cabinet choices as partisan and warns of consequences if the administration continues favoring Democrats and Republicans. The letter argues for civil service reform, laments political cronyism, and ends with personal housekeeping notes about a farm hen and a signoff from HreLu Ny. The piece preserves a formal yet pointed critique attributed to a mugwump advocate.

Paderewski's Master Leschetinsky Reigns in Vienna
Paderewski travels widely and earns the public’s applause while Leschetinsky remains fixed in one place, gathering a devoted court of admirers. Some say the pupil’s fame aids the master, but we believe Leschetinsky would have thrived even without Paderewski as his patron in Vienna.

Persian Libraries and Manuscript Craft in Persia
In Persia and the Orient, meticulous attention is given to producing finely finished manuscripts. Learned men spend years mastering the art of elegant handwriting to reproduce classical works. Though lithography has supplanted this art, large bazaars still reserve sections for manuscripts and lithographic copies. A Persian house library typically includes an Arabic Koran edition, poets, a dictionary, and a general history, all in manuscript or lithographic form.
