Photojournalisms
Rare Books
"As a photojournalist who travels extensively around the world, home for me has always been a shifting term, with shifting people and shifting objects vying for my attention. Upon meeting Julie Winokur in 1992, that dynamic was forever altered. When we married in 1994, a pattern of recording journals addressed to Julie was already firmly established. In keeping with the changing times, what began as paper journals was replaced with daily emails by 2000. Encompassing nearly 20 years, this book is a selection of these journal entries from various locations around the world written for my wife. They reflect my deep-seated desire, more like need, to connect to Julie and let her know with some urgency what I had just seen, felt, heard and sometimes recorded in images ... The very act of creating this book touches upon my desire to reach out to others and to report on issues throughout the world ... The depth of my feelings, touched so deeply and so often by the realities I witness, are the testimony I want this collection to reveal"--From introduction by author.

Charles Darwin letter to C.W. Stoddard
Manuscripts
A full transcription of the letter follows: "Dear Sir, I am obliged for your extremely courteous letter. It is of course a great satisfaction to me to hear that my work has in any way interested an interested and observing person. I am little surprised at what you say about certain plants not fruiting or flowering in the Sandwich Islands; though this is very common in hotter countries. There is nothing I shd enjoy so much as to visit California, but I am growing old & my health is weak. With my best thanks, I beg leave to remain Dear Sir Yours faithfully, Ch. Darwin. P.S. I am obliged for your enclosures." The letter, written from Beckenham, Kent, is dated May 5; no year is given.

William Lawrence Austin letter to Joseph Burn Austin
Manuscripts
William Lawrence Austin wrote this letter to his father, Joseph Burn Austin, in the midst of the Leadville silver boom. Leadville had been founded only two years earlier, but not all is well. Lawrie writes to his father in South America from a smelting works in Leadville, Colorado, seeking financial help. "My dear Papa, Can't you borrow the money to keep Cecil at Yale under a guarantee from me to pay it back with interest? It is really too bad for me to be taking all these chances...I am overworked, under paid, & tied up in such a way, than a human being can't be expected to stand it." One of his co-workers, Abarci, left some time ago and two more are going to leave the smelting works soon. He suggests, "Now I'll give you the boys' plan & you can see what a temptation it is to me. They intend to start an assay office up town, then add on a store, to consist of simply miner supplies, then do a general professional business besides. We will be working for ourselves..." He is confident that "...we will make the strongest team in the country." Lawrie is in despair because he must endure the dangers of the smelting works and shortchange his own future by attending to his brother's needs first, a brother who spends his time reading novels and his money on "pleasure seeking." He states, "You don't know how interesting life has been becoming for me, & I must stay in the poisonous fumes of furnaces, & give up every thing...I have to look far enough into the future, anyhow, in order to see a blue sky, but to think that I must give up my Leadville, & start again at some future day, possibly in some camp, & certainly without one cent to back me is very hard Papa." He concludes, "You must pay some attention to my case, as well at Cecil's. You could not keep one man in a hundred as you are keeping me, & there will be a final blow up, if you keep on, & that I want to avoid if possible." The letter is simply signed "Lawrie."
