". il y a dans les vôtres une si fine quintessence d'érudition et d'observation agréablement mêlées."" A laudatory and beautiful autograph letter dated and signed addressed to Anatole France whom he congratulates for the literary quality of his works
Maillane Bouches du Rhône Maillane 1898. Fine. Maillane Bouches du Rhône Maillane 28 Février 1898 11.50 x 17.50 cm trois pages sur un double feuillet Autograph letter dated and signed by Frédéric Mistral addressed to Anatole France 44 lines in black ink regarding the publication of his work ""Les mannequins d'osier"" which he has just sent him with a dedication. Fold marks inherent to postal delivery a vertical shadow on the first leaf. Frédéric Mistral has just received ""Les mannequins d'osier"" and gives a glowing portrait of his correspondent's style: "". ce livre qui m'a donné tous les plaisirs de la lecture. Je suis de ceux que le roman n'intéresse guère lorsqu'ils ne sont que prétentieux tableaux de la vie contemporaine. . mais il y a dans les vôtres une si fine quintessence d'érudition et d'observation agréablement mêlées et une si joyeuse fleur d'optimisme tolérant qu'on s'y retrouve sans rechercher dans la façon gauloise omnisciente et libre de Maître Rabelais."" this book which has given me all the pleasures of reading. I am one of those whom novels hardly interest when they are merely pretentious tableaux of contemporary life. . but there is in yours such a fine quintessence of erudition and observation agreeably mixed and such a joyful flower of tolerant optimism that one finds oneself in it without seeking in the Gallic omniscient and free manner of Master Rabelais. The félibrige loves equally the characters created by his illustrious and charming master ""Tous vos personnages sont si naturels si bien en situation si logiques que ma foi on les aime tous et quoique tout cela provienne d'un aimable et indulgent scepticisme on y a là l'explication de ce phénomène étrange que si loin si injuste si douloureux que soit le monde chacun pourtant y pousse volontiers sa brouette avec la conviction en le réconfort d'avoir raison."" All your characters are so natural so well placed in their situations so logical that my faith one loves them all and although all this comes from an amiable and indulgent skepticism there one has the explanation of this strange phenomenon that however distant unjust painful the world may be each person nevertheless willingly pushes his wheelbarrow with the conviction and comfort of being right. as the spirit that breathes and animates his books: "". la sympathie du reste vraiment universelle qui accueille tous vos écrits doit vous prouver combien vous êtes humain et sage dans l'antique sens de ces mots."" the truly universal sympathy that welcomes all your writings must prove to you how human and wise you are in the ancient sense of these words. unknown

FREDERICK J CHIVERS AB A B
1919 - 1920 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY HANDWRITTEN BY AN ABLE BODIED SEAMAN ON AN HISTORIC CRUISE ABOARD THE FLAGSHIP OF THE MEDITERRANEAN SPEEDING TO DANGER TO ASSIST IN THE RUSSIAN CIVIL WAR AND THE EVACUATION OF SMYRNA DURING THE GRECO TURKISH WAR
HMS IRON DUKE EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN THE BLACK SEA. Fair. 1919. On offer is a fascinating significant original manuscript relic of post World War I politics strife and continuing aggression and wars being a 140 page diary handwritten by Frederick J. Chivers A.B of Coventry England who served on the famed HMS IRON DUKE during the period of 1919 to 1920 as inscribed in his own hand on the ffep. We note finding a 1914 Navy Gazette listing for a Frederick J. Chivers RMLI Royal Marines Light Infantry. If the same man we wonder at his diary notation of A.B or Able Seaman. Did he change duties after WWI We believe Chivers was also a DSM Distinguished Service Medal recipient. The storied formidable HMS IRON DUKE Flagship of the Fleet at the Battle of Jutland in World War I and during the period this diary covers the Iron Duke was still operating in historic times and in a leading role. Flagship of the Mediterranean Fleet the ship is bound for Gibraltar then Malta and eventually through the Aegean to the Black Sea through the Dardanelles in the thick of the Russian Civil War and the Greco Turkish War. Chivers writes page after page of significant reportage from a man on the deck and close to command observing Admirals and aware of the significance of orders and not merely a keen observer but also some analysis of the actions of which there are many. He records the IRON DUKE'S part in the Allied Intervention in the Russian Civil War skirmishes with the Bolsheviks the sinking of a Russian destroyer the destruction of Russian submarines interactions with various Admirals and other Royal Navy ships Russian volunteer armies etc and references to her role in the Greco-Turkish war which saw the ship take part in the evacuation of Smyrna. Chivers also details much of the Fleet actions and the Iron Duke's interactions meetings with other of His Majesty's Ship and ships of other nations. Also included is the photograph of the crew of HMS Iron Duke though it has seen better days. We can only speculate which of the crew was the author of this remarkable personal account of these significant events. The approximately 6.75" x 4.25" book has hinges that have rusted and split the spine from inside but all the pages are present a few have light pencil scribble but nothing that would affect reading.

Toronto Ontario Canada. Good with no dust jacket. 1937. Non-Book. On offer is a humorous letter written by Frederick G. Griffin 1889-1946 and sent to Howard Angus Kennedy 1861-1938. The typed letter is signed by Griffin. Dated Dec. 10 1937 on the Toronto Star Editorial Dept. Letterhead Griffin writes to Howard Angus Kennedy in Montreal. In his letter Griffin humorously declines to write a piece on authorship for "The Canadian Author". An excerpt: ".Fact is being an alleged author as a sort of by-product to twenty-odd years of newspapering I do not take authorship very seriously and I have not a word that I could think of writing that would chasten help warn advise amuse or irritate a single Canadian author." This letter is a fun hat-tip to the history of Canadian newspaper publishing with a distinctly Toronto vibe that would be an asset to any Canadiana collector. BIO NOTES: Frederick G. Griffin was a well respected Toronto-based journalist and war correspondent during WW2. He was known as a popular front-page feature writer in Canada writing for the Toronto Star. Howard Angus Kennedy was a correspondent of The Montreal Daily Witness and New York Herald covering the Riel Rebellion in 1885.

This letter is one page. The word Griffin has been written in blue pencil touching on the building on the Toronto Star engraving otherwise very good condition. ; Manuscripts; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 1 pages; Signed by Author . unknown
