Original Letter dated Feb. 25, 1863, from George Henry Fox (1824-1865) from his residence in Springhurst to his son Austen G. Fox (1849-1937). We know at the time Austen was enrolled at Churchill’s Military Academy in Sing Sing, NY (part of Ossining). And we feel confident ‘Springhurst’ is or was located in what is Dobbs Ferry, NY. The three page letter starts with mentioning of a sleigh ride George took into the city the day before, but the snow was now gone. He goes on to discuss Austen’s sister’s health but mostly focuses on Austen and George’s expectations of him – which are high. He does mention a letter Austen had written to him and how George was going to save it so Austen could read it himself when he returned home as he would find it ‘amusing’.In this context his father is basically pointing out his son’s lack of maturity or refineness. George had big plans for Austen, but he tragically never got to see them take shape, as George Fox died in 1865. Austen, to his credit, would continue his studies and enter the legal world achieving great success. Please see below for more info about him. Letter condition is good creases from 155+ years of folding and some small tears. Zoom in on pics as part of description. A nice Dobbs Ferry collectible that will ship fast and FREE!

He was the son of George Henry Fox (18241865) and Hannah Clarissa Fox (18301860). His younger sister, Rebecca Fox, was the wife of Dr. Benjamin Clapp Riggs,parents of Dr.Austen Fox Riggs.A descendant of an old Quaker family,his paternal grandparents were George Shotwell Fox and Rebecca Leggett Fox, herself the daughter of Thomas Leggett and Mary Haight Leggett.His paternal aunt, Anna Mott Fox,was the wife ofAugustus Schell, theCollector of the Port of New York. He was educated at Rev. John O’Choule’s School inNewport, Rhode Islandfollowed by Churchill’s Military Academy inSing Sing, New York.Fox graduated fromHarvard Universitywith an A.B. degree in 1869 and fromHarvard Law Schoolwith an LL.B. degree in 1871.While at Harvard, he was a member of the Zeta Psi Fraternity. Eventually becoming the Fraternity’s Phi Alpha for the 1890/1891 term. After graduating from Harvard, he wasadmitted to the barin New York in 1872 and began practicing, with an office at 45Wall Streetin Lower Manhattan.He later served as vice-president of theNew York City Bar Association.Fox was considered a leader of the New York bar for sixty years, and was a close friend and contemporary ofElihu Root(aU.S. Senator,Secretary of WarandSecretary of State) andJoseph Choate(the lawyer andU.S. Ambassador to the United Kingdomunder PresidentsWilliam McKinleyandTheodore Roosevelt). In October 1894, upon the retirement of Chief JusticeRobert Earl, he was offered the Democratic nomination for Judge of theNew York Court of Appeals, but declined.From 1895 to 1896, he was asked byJohn R. Fellowsto be the special assistant District Attorney in the prosecution of police officials following theLexow Committeeinvestigation. In 1897, he was theCitizens Unionnominee forNew York County District Attorney, in the so called “Low campaign”,however,DemocratAsa Bird Gardinerwas elected but later removed from office by then Governor Theodore Roosevelt. In January 1899, Governor Roosevelt appointed Fox special counsel to assist Attorney GeneralJohn C. Daviesin the investigation of charges againstGeorge W. Aldridge, the formerCommissioner of Public WorksandCampbell W. Adams, the formerState Engineer, in connection with the deepening of theErie Canalunder what became known as the “Nine Million Dollar Act.” In 1901, he was a founding member of theCommittee of Fifteen, which was aNew York Citycitizens’ group that lobbied for the elimination ofprostitutionandgambling,The Committee, which was largely unsuccessful, disbanded in 1901 (and was succeeded by theCommittee of Fourteen) after evaluating the investigations and reporting to GovernorBenjamin Barker Odell, Jr.Fox himself participated in the raids: “Late one February evening in 1901, Austen G. Fox, prominent Wall Street lawyer and founding member of the Committee of Fifteen, arrived at the West Thirtieth Street police station in the heart of the infamousTenderloin districtwith eight of his Committee colleagues. Dressed in his finest evening clothes and a silk top hat, Fox presented the desk sergeant with arrest warrants for the proprietors of eight different gambling parlors and brothels. The nine committeemen, bedecked in formal wear, each set out with a police officer to oversee the arrest of the offending parties. The arrival of Fox and his colleagues in the Tenderloin, traipsing around in the opera clothes accompanied by policeman, drew the attention of the neighborhood’s denizens, who followed these strange pairs on their rounds.” He later served as chairman of the Committee of Nine on police problems in 1905. He also served as chairman of theAnti-Imperialistic League.In 1913, he was the defense counsel during the impeachment trial of Democratic GovernorWilliam Sulzer,who was eventually found guilty and replaced by his Lieutenant Governor,Martin H. Glynn.’
