‎John Hopkinson (1844-1919), English geologist [Alfred Reginald Pryor (1839-1881); Royal Geological Society]:‎

‎John Hopkinson geologist Autograph Letter Signed to Pryor's mother.‎

‎5 March 1888; St Albans Hertfordshire. 12mo: 3 pp. Good on lightly-aged paper. Concerns Pryor's posthumous 'Flora of Hertfordshire' 1887 which contained an introduction co-written by Hopkinson. Four copies of the book are being presented to Mrs Pryor 'by our Society'. 'This is partly the cause of the delay in sending them to you for we had to wait for authority from the Council of the Society to present them.' The rest of the letter concerns the large paper edition of the book a copy of which Hopkinson offers to procure for Mrs Pryor 'at the subscription price'. 'As only 50 of these have been printed we decided at the first not to give a single copy away except the one we were bound to send to the British Museum . There is not one of these large paper copies in your family for Mr. Marlbrough Pryor has only taken a small paper copy & Mr. Robert Pryor has not subscribed at all.' 5 March 1888; St Albans, Hertfordshire. unknown‎

‎John Pyke Hullah English composer. Autograph Letter Signed 'John Hullah' to unnamed recipient regarding the preparations for a lecture he is to give in St Andrew's Hall Glasgow .‎

‎Stanford Lincolnshire . 18 August 1865. 4pp. 12mo. Bifolium on grey paper. In good condition with traces of mount along one edge of verso of last leaf. Being away from home and his papers he cannot answer all the recipient's questions but 'it will be enough if I say that I shall not require an Organ & that the Illustrations to my lecture would or might be made to consist exclusively of unaccompanied vocal music mostly English. The effect of some pieces might be increased by being performed chorally - say with three or four good voices to a part but they will all admit of performance by one voice to a part'. He assumes that St Andrew's Hall 'can hardly be worse adapted for speaking in than the room in which I lecture sometimes at Edinburgh which is cruciform & holds 2500 people'. He comments on the practice of lecturing before concluding with the suggestion that 'all the Illustrations might be very safely left to the Cathedral Choir'.

He asks if he will do the same ‘in the case of the 4 Acts’ he has recently sent him. ‘If not let me beg of you to return them by post as I really cannot afford the expence of coming to Town!’ He continues: ‘I was served with a Writ yesterday for the first time in my life!!’ and adds ruefully: ‘I’m afraid the veteran farce writer’s “little game†is nearly up!†He concludes with surprising candour: ‘Thank God I could never get any children - not for want of trying I’m ashamed to say.’ ‘Chertsey March 8th.

‎John Piper artist Autograph Memorandum by the artist John Piper describing how Vollard's biography of Cézanne inspired him when he read it as a teenager.‎

‎On letterhead of Fawley Bottom Farmhouse near Henley-on-Thames Oxfordshire. Undated. 1p. 12mo. In fair condition on aged and lightly-creased paper. Clearly responding to an enquiry regarding what books had had a formative influence on his life Piper writes: 'Vollard's Life of Cézanne because it showed me in my teens that an artist can be dedicated unbohemian unworldly against the tide and absolutely true to his instincts which happened to be right. The book - by a dealer too! - has the same characteristics.' Beneath this the name 'JOHN PIPER' is written in capitals in felt-tip pen but this does not appear to be Piper's signature and is in a diffferent hand to the memorandum which is certainly by Piper and appears to be unpublished.

‎Holograph document by John Roby consisting of a ballad from his 'forthcoming "Traditions of Lancashire"' beginning with the line 'Maiden braid those tresses bright' preceded by an Autograph Note Signed 'Jn Roby' by Roby for Mrs. Thelwall.‎

‎The document dated 'Rochdale 11th. December 1828'. 4pp. 4to. On two loose leaves of Whatman paper each watermarked 1827. Very good on lightly-aged paper. The document begins with the following note dated and signed by Roby: 'The following ballad from my forthcoming "Traditions of Lancashire" though not of much value in itself may yet acquire some from its connexion with and introduction into Mrs. Thelwall's elegant volume of Scraps.' The implication that the two leaves have been removed from Mrs Thelwall's album is supported by pagination from 12 to 15. Sixty-four lines divided into sixteen four-line stanzas. This version only differs in one instance from that published two years later in Roby's 'Traditions of Lancashire': the fifty-seventh line in the published version - 'The moon looks bright on Rudolph's towers' reads in this version 'The moon looks bright o'er Speke's grey towers'. The recipient is more likely to be the wife of John Thelwall than that of his son Algernon Sydney Thelwall Georgiana Ann née Tahourdin. The document dated 'Rochdale 11th. December 1828'. unknown‎

‎John Van Druten [John William Van Druten] (1901-1957), English playwright and theatre director [Walter James Macqueen-Pope (1888‎

‎John Van Druten playwright. Typed Letter Signed to theatre historian W. J. Macqueen-Pope with personal reminiscence and touching 'many points' including British 'old theatre' in Hollywood Dodie Smith J. T. Grein his theatre library.‎

‎5 October 1949. A. J. C. Ranch Thermal California. It is puzzling that Van Druten one of the most successful British playwrights of the early 1930s should not have an entry in the Oxford DNB. The present entertaining and informative letter is written from the A. J. C. Ranch in Coachella Valley which Van Druten purchased with his then-lover Carter Lodge and the British actress Auriol Lee it was named after the initals of their first names. Van Druten left his interest in the ranch to Lodge by then in a relationship with Dick Foote together with the rights to his work including his dramatic adaptation of his friend Christopher Isherwood's story 'I am a Camera'. See Isherwood's diaries and Peter Parker's biography of him. 2pp 8vo. Signed 'John van Druten'. A long letter closely typed. In fair condition on aged and creased paper with slight rust staining to corner of one leaf from paperclip. The letter begins: 'Dear Mr. Macqueen-Pope Your letter which came yesterday really cries for an answer to so many points.' He begins with a paragraph 'about the Kali Fizzing Towers' the song 'Old French Bonnet' and 'the bells of "Paree" not Calais'. The next paragraph concerns 'Dodie' i.e. Dodie Smith author of 'The Hundred and One Dalmations' and MP's book 'Twenty Shillings to the Pound'. He moves on to a discussion of the contents of 'the Agnes Platt book' which leads him to the critic and playwright J. T. Grein 1862-1935 who was a friend of Van Druten's father 'in his younger days: they came over from Holland more or less at the same time and shared lodgings somewhere in Shepherd's Bush. I never knew him in my childhood but his Sunday Times pieces were held up to me as models of dramatic criticism - and when I wrote my first one-act play at the age of 14 Father sent it to Grein who wrote back something nice about it.' He has for 'where it is situated' 'a fairly good theatre library' and describes some of its volumes enquiring whether one 'would be of any service to you in writing GHOSTS AND GREASEPAINT which I am very eager to read'. Another book which he offer to present to MP 'as a token of the very great pleasure your books have given me' is an American volume on Charles Frohman. The letter ends in personal reminiscence. He recalls that his 'own first theatre was ALICE IN WONDERLAND around 1906 with Marie Studholme - I think Seymour Hicks was the Mad Hatter - and Phyllis Bedells as the First Oyster. The first play I ever went to in the evening was THE BALKAN PRINCESS about which you write so much and so glowingly. And I think I remember almost everything I ever heard about the theatre from the age of four onwards.' After a reference to his 1935 autobiography he asks MP if he knows the words to the tearjerker 'Ring down the curtain I can't sing tonight' which is 'something my nurse used to sing to me'. In the penultimate paragraph he writes: 'A number of "lesser fry" from the old theatre turn up in America apart from the stars who have taken to Hollywood. Not long ago when casting a place there appeared Richard Temple who told me he was married to Evie Greene. And there are Margery Maude and Lydia Bilbrooke and Hazel formerly Kathleen Jones - and I am always able to give them their biographies when I meet them - sometimes to their slight embarrassment. Margery Maude told me when I informed her that I had seen her Titania with Tree in the production with the "real rabbits" - that the poor rabbits all died from licking the green paint of the hill-slopes. Did you know that' He feels that he 'could go on for ever' but must not 'exceed this page'. He concludes by declaring himself to be 'a very ardent awaiter of all the forthcoming books that you mention'. A postscript at the head of the first page reads: 'I do so agree with your description of London as lacking in "all standard and quality". The West End distressed me very badly this year.' 5 October 1949. A. J. C. Ranch, Thermal, California. unknown‎

‎John Westland Marston (1819-1890), English dramatist and critic, associated with the Pre-Raphaelites [John T Baron of Blackburn;‎

‎Two Autograph Letters Signed both 'Westland Marston' from the dramatist and critic John Westland Marston to John T. Baron of Blackburn discussing his only novel and his correspondence with Charles Dickens and Dante Gabriel Rossetti.‎

‎Both from 191 Euston Road London. 19 August 1882 and 7 July 1883. Both items in good condition on lightly-aged paper. Both of them bifoliums with mourning borders; and both in their original envelopes addressed by Marston with stamp and postmarks. ONE: 4pp. 12mo. He begins by stating that he is gratified to find that his poems please Baron. 'The only novel I wrote it is more than 20 years ago has I believe been long out of print. A comparatively short tale entitled "Family Credit" together with other sketches and essays chiefly contributed to "Household Worlds' sic was published many years gone by Messr. Ward and Lock as the 1st. Volume of a Sjhilling series and is possibly still to be had on application to them.' He would gladly send Baron a photograph but his supply is exhausted. 'Very good ones I believe are to be had of the Stereoscope Company Regent Street taken 10 years since and also late of Messrs Elliott & Fry. Baker St.' He apologises for the 'hurried scrawl': 'I am in the midst of preparations for leaving London'. TWO: 4pp. 12mo. He regrest that he cannot 'comply with Mrs. Baron's wishes': 'Years ago some valued letters of Mr. Charles Dickens & other correspondents were destroyed by the lamentable mistake of a servant and of those which remain I have given away all except those which refer to matters important to myself. - All the letters I retain of my late friend D. G. Rossetti are of the same character with the exception of one or two written during his last illness which on that account I desire to preserve.' Baron was a shameless autograph hunter and perhaps this prompts Marston to comment: 'Whenever it is known that autographs of distinguished men are to be had the possessor is immediately applied to so that at this date you will not be surprised to find that I have not one autograph in my possession which I can part with either of Dickens or Rossetti.' Regarding his own 'literary activity' he regrets to say that he has 'no volume of poems in preparation'; his health is 'too much impaired for any mental labour except of the most necessary kind'. He is 'now preparing to quit town for change of air in the hope of benefit'. Both from 191 Euston Road, London. 19 August 1882 and 7 July 1883. unknown‎

‎John William Mellor Recorder of Grantham. Autograph Letter Signed 'Jno. Mellor' to fellow-barrister Samuel Danks Waddy regarding a 'Slave circular' 'a new opportunity for Grantham' the Cust family and the North-Eastern Circuit.‎

‎On letterhead of 16 Sussex Square Hyde Park W. London 4 February 1876. 4pp. 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition lightly worn and aged with minor trace of mount on second leaf. Waddy's letter 'fortifies' his own opinions and he would 'certainly not neglect a new opportunity for Grantham which is manifestly attended with real uncertainty owing to the local influence of the Custs'. He feels that rather than being 'given up' Grantham should be 'seriously attended to'. He next endorses the North-Eastern circuit: 'each place is good! - There will be always more causes at Leeds than at al the Mid circuit places including additions & as long as there is a strong Bar business will come there - on the Midland the tendency will be to London & looking to the future I am all for NE Circuit. or all for London & Westminster'. Changing the subject he writes: 'Slave circular requires care in dealing with it In point of abstract law I may be right it was foolish to bring the captains duty to a fast line. Hitherto it has always worked in favour of the Slave - He has always some how escaped & the Captain has always contrived so to manage that he should - Complaints may have arisen but what if sic that compared with the fact of escape somehow!' Waddy 'may have to speak' and should turn over 'the above hint' in his mind.' He is well but his brothers 'have ordered me not to come out'. Note: a response to the "Slave Circular" fugitive slaves discussed in Parliament in this year. On letterhead of 16 Sussex Square, Hyde Park, W. [London] 4 February 1876. unknown‎
