ROBERT SCURFIELD
1940s ORIGINAL AND FINAL TYPESCRIPT PLAY WRITTEN DURING TIME IN A POW CAMP AND FINISHED AFTER THE WAR BY THE SOLDIER AND PLAYWRIGHT ROBERT SCURFIELD
ENGLAND BRITAIN UK UNITED KINGDOM 1947. On offer is an exemplary and fascinating original manuscript of a play entitled Brandts Drift written by Robert Scurfield while a POW in World War 2. According to the book The London Stage 1940-1949: A Calendar of Productions Performers and Personnel the play would eventually be performed at the Gateway Theatre in London on January 6th 1948. The title page reads as such BRANDTS DRIFT ¦A Romance of the War in South Africa ¦ by ¦ ROBERT SCURFIELD ¦ Dramatis Personae There is then a breakdown of the eight main characters of the play and then the setting which reads The action of the play takes place in the Brandt's kitchen at Brandts Drift a farmhouse near the Orange Free State frontier of Cape Colony in February 1900 - late summer in those latitudes. It is dated June - July 1947. This seems to be the final version of the manuscript as there are no edits or writing on the pages as might be usual for a non-final manuscript. The last page of the play includes a glossary of South Africa in alphabetical order terms used in the play. These terms include: Africander - One born in South Africa of Dutch descent; now spelt Afrikaner ; Cronje - The Boers most eminent general ; Ja hucht! - an untranslatable ejaculation; Zarps - Z.A.R.P. - Zuid Afrikansche Republike Police: the Johannesburg police-force a semi-military all-nations formation. There are 38 terms in this glossary. The manuscript is still in very good condition with only the brown paper cover showing signs of wear and age. It is made up of light green typescript pages and is 73 single-sided pages long. The manuscript seems to be hand stitched together possibly by Scurfield himself in a simple 3-hole pamphlet stitch that is easily noticeable on the front and back cover. The title BRANDTS DRIFT BY ROBERT SCURFIELD is handwritten in thick black ink also possibly by Scurfield himself. Good. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Manuscript. unknown

ROBERT WORMSER
1909 - 1912 CHARMING ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT JOURNAL AND DIARY OF SCHOOL MEMORIES HANDWRITTEN BY A YOUNG SAN RAFAEL CALIFORNIA BOY
SAN RAFAEL SAN FRANCISCO NORTHERN CALIFORNIA 1909. On offer is a charming 72 page manuscript relic of early 20th Century northern California school memories being the handwritten journal of the young Robert Wormser 1900 - 1971 a student at the San Rafael Grammar School who detailed many of his school activities trips and some personal travels in this 1909 - 1912 notebook who adds more depth and charm including a number of black and white photos. The index Robert provides includes chapters: Public Schools and Business; Diary for 1909 and Thought Book for 1910; My Birthday Party; Notes on Our Tahoe trip; Snow!!; The Last Term and The Candy Sale. The 7.5 x 9 inch book save for some general ageing rubbing and bumps to the cover and some yellowing to the pages is otherwise G. BIO NOTES: Robert Wormser: Born in San Francisco California USA on 14 Sep 1900 to Samuel Isaac Wormser and Blanche Wertheimer. He passed away on 1971 in Pasadena California USA. Nominated to the Santa Barbara Athletic Round Table Hall of Fame by Bob Wakefield Nominee's History; School: Santa Barbara High School Sports Coached: Tennis Years Coached: 1938-1955; Outstanding Achievements or Honors. Research indicates that Robert Wormser was the only child of one of the co-founders of S&W Fine Foods in San Francisco and conceivably did not have to work a day in his life. However after graduating from Lowell HS in SF he completed a BA at Harvard in 1922 enrolled as a student teacher at Santa Barbara State Teachers College in 1924 became a faculty member there in 1926 and served four years as a junior supervisor in the campus training school. He then completed work for an MA in Education at Stanford in 1932. After six months in Europe he came to SB and taught English and dramatics at SB Junior High School before transferring to SBHS in 1938. In his first year at the Home of the Dons Wormser assisted the boys' tennis program as Tom Kruger won a CIF Southern Section Singles Championship. Beginning in 1939 Wormser was head coach and achieved CIF SS Team Championships in 1939 1941 and 1942. He was briefly out of coaching during World War II. He was already 41 years old when the war began but he served briefly as Assistant Field Director for the American Red Cross. Then as he reported to the Harvard University Alumni Office ".when my request for overseas service was denied I decided to return to my work at the high school. I find this work as enjoyable and satisfying as on the day I began to teach." In 1947 the SBHS boys' tennis program produced a CIF SS Doubles Championship by juniors Stan Green and Jim Herd who defeated a South Pasadena 11th grade duo in the finals. The same four players met again in the finals in 1948 with South Pasadena prevailing. Wormser retired from teaching and coaching in 1955 citing health reasons and moved to Pasadena where for the next several years he gave "free tennis lessons to the youth of Pasadena." For the next decade or more he was in medical facilities. He died in 1971. . Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Manuscript. unknown

ROBERT XXX
19771983 Manuscript Diaries of a Bisexual Ohio Father Confronting Addiction Desire Stigma and Disillusionment in Working-Class America
Akron Ohio OH. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1977. Hardcover. On offer are two intimate and unflinchingly honest diaries kept between 1977 and 1983 by a man living in the Akron Ohio area who signs himself R. but is identified through a note in another hand as Robert. Across six years of scattered yet compelling entries Robert documents his private life as a bisexual father a heavy drinker and recreational substance user and a man searching for connection amid the economic and emotional instability of working-class Ohio. Robert begins his first entry in October 1977 with the resolve of someone trying to turn his life around: I bought this book today in another attempt to keep a journal
Today was pay day and since my rent is paid I decided to treat myself to some new books. Oct. 19 1977. He also writes with relief about belonging to a local art studio community: The people there Drew Linda Pam Jean and others accept me. They let me into their world. How good it feels to belong. Oct. 19 1977. But even in these hopeful early pages his inner conflict is plain. He writes of a one of his friends from the studio named Pam whom he loves deeply but cannot fully have: We love each other yet we may never have sex. She needs women and I need men. I think my sexuality is more open than hers. I prefer women but am also interested in men. Oct. 19 1977. The following day he attends his first appointment at Portage Path Mental Health Clinic now Portage Path Behavioral Health in Akron. In this entry exposes both institutional misunderstanding of his sexuality and his refusal to internalize shame: My visit to the clinic was amusing. It was apparently another evaluation visit. They want to determine who will be the best therapist for me. The doctor who interviewed me asked a number of questions about my sex life. At the end he said he thought someone could help me with my problems including my sexual identity. I told him I wasnt there to be cured and that I didnt feel it was an important problem. Oct. 21 1977. Robert is also unusually frank about his thoughts even when they disturb him. Once in each of his diaries he acknowledges attraction toward minors yet makes clear moral boundaries: he records these thoughts as intrusive and emphasizes that he would not cross the line between fantasizing and realizing those fantasies. The honesty of these confessions uncommon for the period underscores the diarys psychological depth and its documentary value in understanding mid-century male sexual self-examination. Roberts early entries swing between reflection and self-destruction. Im trying to read Sartre while drunk on my ass
why Oct. 21 1977 he writes chronicling nights of alcohol and amphetamines. In 1978 he grows close to a woman named Gina whose son becomes a surrogate for the fatherly devotion that steadies him: Actually Im getting bored and if it werent for Ginas son Nickie whom I love almost as if he were my own Id stop seeing her altogether Apr. 24 1978. Soon after his affections shift againfirst to a co-worker then to Debbie the woman he marries the following year. By 1979 Robert is remarried and father to a five-month-old daughter Robin alongside Sarah his daughter from his first marriage. His writing oscillates between tenderness and guilt: We have a five month old daughter and Sarah whos six now loves her and we love both of them. They are our girls and we have a beautiful family. Im happy and I think Deborah is happy too. Dec. 29 1979. But within the same entry he admits I drink a quart or two or a six pack a day
Debbie always covered for me at work and never said a word but I know she was getting more and more unhappy
now I drink a quart or two or a six pack a day. He clings to his daughters as his redemption: When Sarah is here all three of the girls sleep together in one bed and I sleep on the couch
I often come in and look at them
smiles on their faces
Im a lucky man to have a beautiful family. Dec. 29 1979. In 1980 his focus widens beyond the personal to the political and existential. Moved by global unrest and John Lennons death he writes: With the impending conflicts in the world and the death of John Lennon I am suddenly rudely reminded of the nonsense of violence hate and war
I must find a way to contribute to the world
What can I do How can I as one man work to stop the horror that threatens to engulf us Dec. 18 1980. Days later optimism gives way to fatiguelawyers unpaid bills frozen water pumps and the decision to work through Christmas. In the summer of 1981 Robert seems to have a greater need to express himself through poetry on diverse subjects ranging from Sarah getting her ears pierced to his own mortality dreams and faith. The writing grows increasingly fragmented yet more revealing. In December a long and disorganized entry drifts through dream and memory: he imagines moving to his deceased fathers farm to live with and have relations with his fathers widow muses on a coming war in which the governments of US and USSR talk of a limited war in Europe of dropping A-bomb there to prove a point. How rude Dec. 5 1981 The first diary ends with a letter written in another hand almost certainly his wifes: Dear Robert I know this is your book exclusively and I didnt read anything
I just cant talk about the way I feel. It just never comes out right. Apr. 27 1982. The second volume opens with domestic warmththe smell of my wifes cookingthen turns sharply to a sexually graphic poem about his lust for an unnamed Boy followed by reflections on the demolition of a hotel and porno theater where he describes his introduction to male-for-male sexual exchange. Context suggests that by mid-1982 his marriage to Deborah has quietly ended; the tone shifts from domesticity to transience loneliness and wandering. The final entry written in November 1983 during a trip to Florida following his grandfathers death closes on a note of exhaustion and moral ambiguity. Robert travels south with his mother stepfather and brother to settle family affairs grieving but restless. He admits to rifling through his grandfathers belongings for prescription drugs he could use recreationally. After finding nothing of use in the deceased mans belongings he confesses that he borrowed about seven or eight 5 mg Valiums from his grandfathers widows bathroom.The diary ends with Robert fixated on yet another woman: Depressed. Lonely. My new lover of four months left behind
from a distance I notice how much I love her
April 11 1983. His final paragraph sees him alone in Florida off his diet and eating ice cream. Some longer excerpts give a flavour for Roberts writing throughout his diaries: I may have overcome
my addiction to cough syrup if not to codeine in general. The idea of drinking syrup makes me sick
Im trying to read Sartre while drunk on my ass
why Oct 21 1977. I love the night. Tonight Im going to speed all night. The night world is so quiet. I feel sometimes as if I am the only person left or maybe the only person who ever was. Once in a while I turn on the radio just to know that someone else is alive and awake
Little blue and clean capsules with blue and white balls inside. I keep getting rushes from it
My head is in a good place tonight
must now go back to work. Almost 9: 15pm
. Oct 26 1977
Gina had gained weight her hair was longer. She was not as beautiful as I had thought she would be. But we sat in her apartment and talked
I took some liberties with her caressing her breasts and kissing her
she told me about her son
his father had been black
. We have been sleeping together for two months here he explicitly describes his sex life with Gina
I met a woman at work named Penny Breen to whom I am attracted
Im already scheming how her daughter and my daughter will get along
Its 1: 00am. Im tired of not making any money April 24 1978. I gave up my switch board job and went back to driving cab again. I work during the day now
Debbie never webt back to the swtich board
We make more money than ever but we just spend it faster. Were behind on the rent and utilities and they shut off our television cable yesterday but were happy
Dec 29 1979 Cant say enough about my daughter Sarah. She is growing up and becoming more beautiful every day
Shes been losing her teeth and growing new ones
She is learning to write and can make up her own sentences
The first one I saw was You will not go
Im a lucky man to have a beautiful family. For next year Im going to try to quit drinking and using other drugs I want to
Dec 29 1979.
I am suddenly rudely reminded of the nonsense of violence hate and war. I have again been made aware of the need for each of us and specifically for me to become active in
the ideals of non violence. I must find a way to contribute to the world
What can I do How can I as one man work to stop the horror that threatens to engulf us December 18 1980. Boy
I want you/Boy
I want to explicit you/Boy
I want you to bend over before me explicit
And boy
when its over I want to kiss your lips and leave without knowing your name
carefully excerpted from a longer poem to avoid sexually explicit content in this write-up April 9 1982. Taken together these diaries offer a rare working-class portrait of bisexual identity addiction and mental-health struggle during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Roberts writingby turns erotic remorseful and self-awarereveals a man negotiating authenticity in a time and place that offered few models for it. His introspection however flawed stands as an unfiltered record of human contradiction: love shame devotion and survival on the margins of social acceptance. Both diaries are hardcover volumes together containing 97 pages of manuscript entries spanning from October 19 1977 through April 11 1983. The first measuring approximately 7.75 x 4.5 inches comprises about 71 pages of writing a tipped-in poem and an explicit Polaroid photograph presumably of the author with entries made sporadically between 1977 and 1982. The second smaller volume 6 x 3.5 inches continues Roberts reflections from April 2 1982 to April 11 1983 filling about 26 pages. Both diaries are well preserved showing only minor external wear with tight spines intact pages and legible handwriting throughout.
