Gehrig Lou
Autograph Letter in Japanese calligraphic script to Lou Gehrig from "the Children of Japan
Japan 1934. Pen and ink on long folded sheet of paper. 36 x 7 in. Fine. Pen and ink on long folded sheet of paper. 36 x 7 in. Presented to Lou Gehrig from the Children of Japan. Gehrig barnstormed around Japan in 1934 joined by Babe Ruth his manager Connie Mack and a dozen other players. Gehrig brought his wife Eleanor intending the trip to be the first leg of their delayed honeymoon. Gehrig and Ruth were no longer on speaking terms and an encounter between Eleanor and Ruth involving prodigious amounts of champagne and caviar in the slugger's cabin further cemented the estrangement. The present letter written in Japanese and presented to Gehrig from "the children of Japan" is a touching note offering good wishes to Gehrig's mother with whom he was very close. Translation of the presentation letter: Dear Mr. Gehrig: "I am very happy to learn that you are a good filial son to your Mom. I hear that fact from someone and read about it in a magazine. I like and respect my own Mother very much. So I would like to give something from Japan to your Mom. I was thinking and thinking but I could not know what was a good and appropriate gift.After much consideration and thought I decided it might be good to send your Mom the Nippon Shichi Fukujin or Japan's Seven Lucky Gods. It is close to Christmas - your country. So these Seven Lucky Gods will bring many happinesses to your Mom. This is really a 'tsumaranai mono' not-so-fine a thing a trifling thing of no major importance whatsoever. I wish some Japanese person in the US to explain to you about the Seven Lucky Gods. I hope you and your Mom will have a good fortune. I ask the Seven Lucky Gods to bring this gift to you. I am afraid the gift for your Mom is not so fine. Japanese children said to you Mr. Gehrig 'yoroshiku' to say 'hello' to you and your Mom. For a long time you have been active and working hard. Please come to Japan again. With your Mom! To have sightseeing. The children of Japan. November." With: 3 books on Japanese culture and tourism from Gehrig's library. From the collection of Ruth Martin Quick a former girlfriend of Gehrig who later became a very close friend of Gehrig's mother Christina. The collection included Gehrig's jersey worn on the 1934 Japan trip which sold for over $500000 at auction in 2011 a signed baseball and other memorabilia. Provenance: Jeffrey Quick of Whippany N.J. son of Ruth Martin Quick a friend of Lou Gehrig unknown

WITH Autograph Letter Signed to William Henderson from Thomas Satchell Publisher. 4pp. 5"x 8" London Institution Finsbury Circus London: August 15 1879. Regarding matters having to do with publication of Henderson's "My Life as an Angler." The letter reads in part: "You must not think that I am becoming dubious of the success of 'My Life as an Angler' when it comes out early next month because I am anxious to place a portion of the edition which my son is producing on the American market. I have still as much faith as ever in this book and probably no other person has read it so many times over but this step would probably eliminate the chance of failure and however great my faith I cannot close my eyes to possibility of failure with the present condition of things at home.The advisability of this procedure.arises solely from the general depression and scarcity of spending money which obtains here at the present time." There follow specific details as to size of the 1879 published edition as well as details on bindings and illustrations. A SPLENDID VOLUME WITH A NOTABLE LETTER FROM SATCHELL TO THE AUTHOR.

"With one or two exceptions the volume contains all the old plates and nearly as many new ones all displaying the humorous feeling and the artistic skill which give Mr. Crawhall's works 'a place apart' among angling books." Westwood & Satchell A very desirable copy with 3 notable pieces of Crawhalliana laid in: 1 an ALS from Crawhall dated May 14 1881 to the original subscriber J.W. Pease thanking him for his subscription and promising to "send you a formal & I hope more artistic acknowledgment now in printer's hands"; 2 a printed bill to Pease for 1 copy of "The Compleatest Angling Booke" accomplished in Crawhall's hand signed and dated "June 11-12 '81" by him; and 3 large woodcut showing Crawhall peeking from behind the printer's device of William Caxton - this is a proof of the illustration on p. lxxvi and no doubt the "more artistic acknowledgment" which Crawhall promised to send to Pease. It is docketed in Crawhall's hand at the lower edge "J.W. Pease Esq. J.C's compls" Westwood & Satchell p. 70 by Andro Reid for ye author unknown

Hills John Waller
A Summer on the Test
London: Philip Allan & Company Quality Court 1924. First edition no. 78 of an edition of 300 copies signed by the author. With 12 original drypoint etchings by Norman Wilkinson printed from the plate and other illustrations in the text. xiii iii 198 1 pp. Printed by Southampton Times Limited. 1 vols. Large 4to. Half burgundy cloth and green gray cloth uncut edges. Spine a bit sunned lower corners slightly bumped else fine. Wilkinson Norman. First edition no. 78 of an edition of 300 copies signed by the author. With 12 original drypoint etchings by Norman Wilkinson printed from the plate and other illustrations in the text. xiii iii 198 1 pp. Printed by Southampton Times Limited. 1 vols. Large 4to. An Angling Classic with Derrydale Associations. A splendid book with Wilkinson's evocative etchings. Major the Right Honourable John Waller Hills qualified as a solicitor but spent most of his career in Parliament as an MP Privy Councillor and Financial Secretary to the Treasury. In addition to the present volume and books on finance and horse racing he wrote A History of Fly Fishing for Trout 1921 and River Keeper 1934. He died in 1938 just before he was due to receive a Baronetcy; instead this was conferred on his five year old son with the Major's wife being accorded the style and title of a widow of a Baronet. Notes Robb "This is very exceptional if not unique . his merit was equaled by his popularity; he was given the significant and familiar name of "Jack" Hills." In 1931 Eugene V. Connett proprietor of The Derrydale Press imported some unsold copies of A Summer on the Test for sale to his customers subsequently prompting Frazier to list it in his enumeration of Press titles as "an important and beautiful Derrydale related item". He also notes that in addition to a plain green cloth binding this book "comes in at least one variant binding in cloth which simulates a three-quarter leather binding" as in the copy offered here. Siegel notes that Connett's copies "were not marked in any manner that would enable one to identify them as being imported for The Derrydale Press". Not a Derrydale but at least a distant relation and a very nice copy of as Robb puts it "one of those volumes one loves to count among his treasures."
