Ted Hughes's 'Birthday Letters' are addressedwith just two exceptions to Sylvia Plaththe American poet to whom he was married.They were written over a period of more than twenty-five yearsthe first a few years after her suicide in 1963and represent Ted Hughes's only account of his relationship with Plath and of the psychological drama that led both to the writing of her greatest poems and her death.The book became an instant bestseller on its publication in 1998 and won the Forward Prize for Poetry in the same year.Reprinted many timesbut now out-of -print. Regarded by most critics to be Hughes's best work representing a surprising resurrection for Hugheshere breaking his thirty-five year-long silenceregarding his relationship with Plath.Hughes died shortly after the publication of this workin the same year that he was appointed to the Order of Merit.Ironic and poignant that both author's last worksshould be held in such high regard and become so desirable and collectable.

Murray Adams Acton 1886 1971 English historian of art and architecture:
Murray Adams-Acton Thirteen Typed Letters Signed to G. K. Menzies Secretary Royal Society of Arts with one Autograph Note Signed to Menzies and a printed prospectus for Adams-Acton's 'Domestic Architecture and Old Furniture'.
5 October 1927 to 14 August 1933; most on letterhead of Acton Surgey Ltd. 'London Paris & Crews Hill'. Sizes range from quarto nine items to 12mo two items. Very good. Subjects include a request for 'a photograph of the winning design for the petrol filling station' the award of a Hyde Travelling Scholarship 'Mr. Mitchell appears to have so greatly distinguished himself' 'Mr. Bossom's suggestions for the wording and particulars for the Proscenium opening for Cinema' the drafting of a reply to Morley Horder's comments 'he errs when he declares the screen is not of the period as I think only a small section of it was added by Mr. Beresford Pite a few years ago' and Sydney Bernard Burney 'I am putting up Mr. Sydney B. Burney for election . Mr. Burney has a very high clientele among the various museums in England and abroad and specialises in early and archaic sculptures'. A letter of 21 September 1931 one page 12mo on letterhead of Alderbourne Manor concerns a review in the Society's journal by John Gloag which Adams-Acton feels 'demands an answer'. 'When presumably a sane critic states that the "great designers of the twentieth century" are men like Gimson Heal etc. and no mention is made of those who have really assisted the growth of English design such as Sir Charles Allom and others I feel there is some justification for the reply'. An autograph postscript reads 'Collecting is a hobby inherent in the human race: it commences at school when a boy gathers birds eggs & butterflies. There are far more collectors of postage stamps & amateur gardeners in England than collectors of old furniture!' A letter of 28 June 1932 one page 12mo on Alderbourne Manor letterhead concerns a circular from Frederick Godfrey of 'The Renew Hair Institute of Hair Culture' received by Adams-Acton's cook two of Godfrey's printed circulars with an envelope addressed to 'Miss T. Mellor' are included. 'I see that the writer Mr. Godfrey uses the letters of the Society after his name. You will know whether he is entitled to do so and it would be interesting to find out who proposed him. In any case I feel this pilfering method of trading on the credulity of maids and persons of similar social standing together with the wording of his letter is peculiarly beastly. . I have also seen his advertisements in the daily Press. He is a fearful looking person with his hair standing up on the top of his skull like an overgrown goat!' Also included is a undated typed draft with manuscript corrections of a letter regarding Morley Horder and the removal of the 'fine Ionic screen' in which Adams-Acton is quoted as saying that 'only the upper portion of the facade had been re-designed by Mr. Beresford Pite and the whole of the screen that matters namely the piers columns and the three arches were entirely original and the work of Samuel Ware'. The 4-page prospectus handsomely printed on art paper carries four illustrations. It is accompanied by a compliment slip carrying a signed autograph note to Menzies reading 'I am hoping that with your influence I am going to sell quite a few hundred copies of my book!!' 5 October 1927 to 14 August 1933; most on letterhead of Acton Surgey Ltd., 'London, Paris & Crews Hill'. unknown

Walter W. Robinson English composer; Theodore Distin 1823 93 English singer; F. C. Wood 'Lithographical Music Copyist'; the O
Walter W. Robinson English composer Collection of thirteen Autograph Letters Signed addressed to Robinson by various individuals mostly relating to the publication of Robinson's song 'Gently Down the Stream'.
London; 1871-1878. The collection is in good condition with each letter entirely legible. Two items particularly aged and one with a couple of closed tears unobtrusively repaired with archival tape.

Work done by this system is always cleaned off the stones as soon as finished so that the entire number of copies is likely to be required are always ordered at once. This makes it so much cheaper than engraving. Proofs also cannot be given but accuracy is insured by my having a correct copy & thoroughly examining the work before printing a single copy. If your copy is correct you need have no fear.' Discusses details of legal deposit and asks to be informed on some matters relating to the song. 'What will you do . You may depend on the work being thoroughly well done.' ITEM SEVEN two pages: Wood to Robinson 30 October 1873. 'I always enquire whether copies sent me are correct because proofs not being given it is not at all likely I can take responsibility of mistakes in copies sent me. When I have a good copy to work from parties need not fear for my work because I take good care to do it right. But as you seem rather fearful of the result I have taken the trouble to copy the whole out and send it herewith for your approval. NOT PRESENT Please see if it is correct & the music arranged as you desire to the two verses and if you return it at once I shall at once proceed. You will thus see that I have done all that can be expected to insure correctness & if I can turn out 70 pages of Band music with only the omission of one crescendo - and no mistakes surely 2 pages may be done properly.'

'Respecting terms of course it ought to be One Guinea ask about it and try hard for it but if any demur is made do not object as something was mentioned to me a short time since about obliging a friend for such a ceremony but I gave no decided answer; of course I being away alters the case . but take what is offered and I will arrange with you afterwards'.

Oswald Partridge Milne (1881-1968), English architect [The Royal Society of Arts]:
Oswald Partridge Milne architect Collection of around 27 Typed Letters Signed and 17 Autograph Letters Signed to K. W. Luckhurst Secretary and other officers of the Royal Society of Arts together with some drafts and copies of responses.
1936-65; Wigmore Street and Hampstead London. The collection is in good condition with very occasional minor creasing staining and loss. Majority of items quarto. Milne was a leading Fellow of the Society a Chairman of Council in 1959-61 and Vice-President. The collection provides a valuable insight into the day-to-day workings of the Society from the first letter discussing the R.I.B.A. and whether the Society might set up 'a somewhat similar organisation with similar prestige could be built up for industrial artists' to the last letter commending G. C. H. Chubb on his inaugural address as Chairman of Council 'I hope you will be able to interest industrial Companies etc to associate themselves with the R.S.A.'. Most items are signed 'Oswald P. Milne'. An important aspect of the correspondence concerns repairs and redecorations to the Society's premises at 19 John Street Adelphi which Milne appears to have superintended and for which it seems from a letter of 3 January 1940 he was made a presentation by the Society. In these letters he liases with J. W. Falkner & Sons Ltd acting on the Society's instructions and discussing the builders' quotations and other practical aspects of the work. Milne also gives his opinion 1 April 1942 on the competing claims of Messrs Vanstone and Veale and Sanders for acting as Surveyors on the work. Also present is an initialed carbon of the letter 19 May 1942 to which this letter responds from the Acting Secretary discussing the 'thorny problem'. 'A good deal of unpleasantness is being caused . It would appear that Vanstones do not propose to give way in the matter and Veale and Sanders do not propose to admit the claim.' 1936-65; Wigmore Street and Hampstead, London. unknown
