35 c   (ARCHITECTURE.) Archive of daily planners and address books belong- ing to Boston architects Jean Paul Carlhian and Elizabeth Carlhian. 107 manuscript volumes plus 15 other items in one box (1 linear foot); condition generally strong. Vp, 1935-57 [1,500/2,500] Jean Paul Carlhian (1919-2012) was a French-born architect who came to America to study at Har- vard and joined the Boston firm of Shepley Bulfinch Richardson Abbott in 1950. He went on to design buildings for Harvard, the Smithsonian, and more, and taught architecture at Harvard as well. At the center of this collection is a complete run of Carlhian’s daily planners / diaries extending from 1935 through 1957.The first four years are covered by small pocket diaries.After that point, they are kept in three-month “Agenda” appointment books produced by the French luxury brand Hermès, com- plete with four volumes per year from 1939 through 1957.These books cover the period of Carlhian’s youth in France,WorldWar Two, and his early years as a working architect and educator.They include many notable names and some rough architectural sketches.They are accompanied by 5 Hermès address books (his contemporary I.M. Pei is listed), a Hermès leather notebook cover with his J.P.C. monogram, sets of boxed blank books for 1958 and 1959, 7 blank address books, and even the empty Hermés boxes for his 1950-52 planners—the man had brand loyalty. Also included are some volumes kept by his wife Elizabeth M.Ware Carlhian (1920-2015), a land- scape designer. She was one of the first class of women at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, where she met Carlhian.As they had similarly small and precise handwriting (they were both architects, after all), and rarely signed their books, they are somewhat difficult to distinguish.We believe Elizabeth kept an incomplete series of 21 “Agendas” in a smaller format which begins in 1948 (the year of their marriage) and continues sporadically through 1955, as well as at least one address book and wallet bearing her name. 36 c   (ARIZONA.)

Robert of Tucson, AZ. 2 pages on 2 sheets, 10 1 / 2 x 8 inches; transfer copy in purple ink, mailing folds, minor soiling. With typed transcript. Tombstone, AZ, 23 October 1885 [500/750] William Cornell Greene (1852-1911) was a miner who started a large ranching operation in Tombstone, AZ, and in 1899 founded the extremely lucrative Greene Consolidated Copper Company in Mexico. This letter was written fairly early in Tombstone’s history, just 4 years after the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral. He discusses trouble with the lease at the “Ojo de Agua” and the Arvallo family, adding that “the Apaches rounded up Hilton and Ned at the Ojo de Agua houses last Saturday but did no damage nor got no horses. Aston Hall and Gray have been on a big spree here. They have not rounded up their beef yet. Say they will next week.”
