A. T. Smith Diary transcript 1840-1846 Index
No full textA typewritten index for all the names mentioned in Alvin Thompson Smith's diaries from 1840-1846. Some especially notable names include William Geiger, John Smith Griffin, Peter B. Littlejohn, Charles Richard McKay, John B. Mills, Abigail Raymond Smith, Harvey L. Clark (or Clarke), Henry and Eliza Spalding, Marcus Whitman, and Courtney Meade Walker.Born in Connecticut in 1802, Alvin Thompson Smith, along with his wife Abigail Raymond, was amongst the first Euro-Americans to settle in the area on the Tualatin Plains that became Forest Grove, Oregon in the early 1840s. In his life, Smith was a missionary, a postmaster, a notable participant in the Champoeg Meetings, the builder of a 1856 house in Forest Grove that is today recognized by the National Register of Historic Places as the Alvin T. Smith House, and a contributor to an orphanage that became Tualatin Academy and later developed into Pacific University. Smith died in 1888 at the age of 85. This is one part of a collection of transcriptions of Alvin T. Smith's diaries from the years 1840-1853. The transcriptions, which are likely not identical to the diaries themselves and perhaps summarize some entries, were likely typewritten in the 1970s. The diaries are notable for their near daily entries. The original diaries are held by the Oregon Historical Society (Mss 8)

Ely, H.P., letter, Medford, [N.J.], November 15, 1857, to "Resp[ec]t[e]d F[rien]d." [Peter Still]
No full textH.P. Ely informs Peter Still that he (Ely) has received a letter from Dillwyn Smith; alludes to a trip to New England by Still to sell books; reports that Smith is suffering financially, apparently as arbitration (relating to construction of Still’s house?) reduced the amount of money that Smith was to receive, despite related bills that Smith must still pay; believes that Still should pay one of Smith’s relevant bills, as Smith “has met with many losses” and “Dillwyn[’]s family & connections have done more for [him] than all others with their money & reccommendations [sic]”; further suggests that through inaction Still could “loose the interest of [his] best friends and injure the cause of freedom for the slave”; and adds, in a postscript, that he has forgotten to mention a bill from the painter, who urgently seeks payment

No full textOnline version of original print edition of the Special Publication of the J.L.B. Smith Institute of Ichthyology; No. 38Recent collecting in the Malawi lakes Chilwa and Chiuta has revealed a new haplochromine cichlid fish, Astatotilapia tweddlei, which is described and illustrated. It is distinguished from most members of this genus by an elongate, rounded caudal fin. Although having a distinctly different colour pattern and more slender pharyngeal bone, it shows a greater similarity to A. paludinosa, known only from the Malagarasi Swamp 1200 km to the north in the Zaire ichthyofaunal province, than it does to members of this genus from the closely adjacent Zambezi province from which this wetland system, in the East Coast province is separated by only some 50 km
Special Publication (J.L.B. Smith Institute of Ichthyology) no.14
No full textOnline version of original print edition of the Special Publication of the J.L.B. Smith Institute of Ichthyology; No. 14This is in essence a checklist of the marine fishes occurring in the estuarine and coastal waters of southern Africa from the Kunene River in the west to Beira in the east. Deep sea fishes occurring below 200 metres or 100 fathoms are not included. The freshwater fishes from the Zambezi southwards will be published in Part 2. The scientific names, their spelling, authors and dates, have been carefully checked and brought into line with the most recent revisions available. However, the tremendous outpouring of scientific papers will make some scientific names obsolete even while this checklist is being printed. Also there will continue to be additions to the fauna and this, the first list to be published, must be regarded as a foundation on which subsequent lists can be based
Peter Kean to Susan Niemcewicz August 9, 1809
No full textPeter Kean wrote from Albany, New York to Susan Niemcewicz in Elizabethtown, New Jersey. After a most charming ride with Mrs. Banyer, Mr. Ridley, Sally Jay, and Susan Livingston, Susan’s letter together with Papa’s arrived as if to crown the happiness of the day. Thanked Susan for the assurances and good advice. It was important to Peter to know Susan’s reasons for him not reposing confidence in Mrs. Bz. As the confidence originated on the part of Sally Jay and she said she would consult her on the subject. Mrs. B. had in a measure become the only organ by which Peter could discover Sally’s thoughts as it respected the object he most earnestly desired to obtain. Peter discovered no change of sentiments and relied upon the bounty and goodness of God. Susan said she was reading Seneca and Peter claimed that while he was a charming and beautiful author, he was a pagan and not too fit a source to derive the precepts of true wisdom. Tom Grimké passed through Albany on his way to Balltown and informed Peter that he left his father’s family well and that Colonel Shubrick had not yet commenced the suit, neither had anything been done by Mr. B about the Paris Island Land.
People mentioned: Mrs. Banyer, Mr. Ridley, Sarah Louisa Jay (1792-1818), Susan Livingston, Mrs. B., Thomas Smith Grimké (1786-1834), and Colonel Shubrick.https://digitalcommons.kean.edu/lhc_1800s/1493/thumbnail.jp
