(Edward M.

Several pieces of material, including: September 17, 1957 typed letter signed from Alberto Vargas to recipient on Long island which includes (1) set of 3 pages of stapled typed copy "Idea and Design by Alberto Vargas..." delineating a short movie about his work called "Heavenly Body" and which is a melding of his pin-up girl artistry with a proposed automobile design - describing in minute, item-numbered detail a staged 'routine' and storyline, with singing and dramatic action and which does not appear have been produced; in the letter from Vargas, he is asking the recipient to sign one copy of the 'design' and send back to him, which was done; with the original mailing envelope having Vargas' 1539 Greenfield Avenue California address and postally canceled in October at Visalia CA, airmailed to New York; laid-in is a lengthy illustrated newspaper clipping from the Visalia Times-Delta of Sept. 19, 1957 by reporter Ron Einstoss with the headline, "Famed Artist Alberto Vargas Visits Visalia" and which illustrates himself with his work and also with his wife - humorously, a note has been written-in at top which states in part "...Alberto is quite a guy! Anna Mae (his wife) wears the pants!..." - the article mentions the reason that Vargas is in Visalia, being a house guest of Robert Lash Robbins, also a commercial artist and known for his WWII poster stamps and who cooperated with Vargas on a book of Pony Express artistry in stamps as well being a musical lyricist; (with) a two-page typed letter signed from Robbins written in 1964 on his business letterhead (Fine & Commercial Artist Employing Oils, Temperas, Air Brush, Silk Screen, Line Techniques) from Visalia California, to the same recipient on Long Island, asking a similar 'copyrighting' favor for his friend, writer George N. Walker who had met with some misfortune in this area, "...theft of his finished materials by Radio and TV factions..." (no additional materials here); Robbins notes that "...A check in the amount of $ 1.00 is being enclosed to help defray the expenses of postage, etc., with 20 cents left over for bus fare to the Post Office..."; Robbins also writes of some of his musical endeavors and receiving royalties for same; the recipient had evidently accomplished this task for Robbins, as there are Post Office mailing receipts for the material; according to the Vargas and Robbins correspondence, this method of 'copyright' securing was used by both artists to secure their work; Alberto Vargas (1896-1982) famed 'pin-up' painter and illustrator; both letters and Vargas' 'show' script in very good condition, old fold lines; Vargas envelope with some wear and tear and soiling; newspaper clipping darkened; all materials very good and an interesting glimpse into Vargas' artistic process as well as his attempts to legally secure his work, along with his friend Robbins' attempts to do the same.

Document states: "Queens county Common Pleas Whitehead Cornwell vs. Isaac Hendrickson Plea And the said Whitehead by Alexander Hamilton his Attorney comes and defends the force and injury when (?) and Says that he is not guilt of the said trespass as the said Isaac above complains against him and of this he puts himself upon the Country and the said Isaac likewise Hamilton for Def't Queens County for Whitehead Cornwell puts him in his place Alexnder Hamilton his Attorney at the suit of Isaac Hendrickson in the plea aforesaid" (on back) "Queens County Com. Pleas Whitehead Cornwell vs Isaac Hendrickson Plea Hamilton Atty." (and in another hand) "with leave by consent to give the special matter in evidence."; 6 3/4" x 8" approx. size; no date but circa 1802; Alexander Hamilton (1755 or 1757-1804) American statesman; light browning along old fold lines; very good condition. Interesting documentation of an Alexander Hamilton case. Comparison of signatures from other documents does not conclusively indicate that this is his writing hand, nevertheless this piece is certainly worthy of further research; we note a small reference in the Aaron Burr papers to a Whitehead Cornwell and the Library of Congress Hamilton papers show the case as part of his legal history; perhaps there is a connection here between these two men and to Hamilton and his subsequent death in the duel that ended his life.
