I believe that all associations similar to ours will "maintain their labours" and carry on as usual. I do not see why they should not - nothing has happened yet so far as our Society is concerned which we can fairly call "passing through tribulation" '.

Autograph Letter Signed 'C Fane' to G. Joy discussing the reform of the Court of Chancery.
19 August 1844; Court of Bankruptcy. 12mo 3 pp. Thirty-three lines. Text clear and complete. Fair on lightly-aged paper with traces of mount on reverse of second leaf which is docketed 'C. Fane to G. Joy 19 Augt. 1844'. A significant and interesting letter on a topic later tackled by Dickens in 'Bleak House' by a judge who was an active member of the Law Amendment Society and whose decisions according to his entry in the Oxford DNB 'were frequently the subject of comment' although 'very few of his judgments were reversed on appeal'. Fane sympathises with Joy's 'misfortunes' as he does 'with the case of every man who has the misfortune to be involved in a Chancery suit'. There is however nothing that he could proposer 'relating to Insolvency or Bankruptcy' that could 'redress the wrongs to wh. the delays of Chancery have subjected you'. The main cause of these delays is the 'tossing of the suitor from the Judge to the Master & from the Master to the Judge till the subjt. in dispute is wasted in expense'. The only remedy is for the judge to be compelled 'to carry out his own desires without references to Masters' or to 'so raise the station power & responsibilities of Masters as that they shall become independent judges'. Small contemporary cutting laid down at head of first page reading 'SUBDIVISION COURT WEST SIDE. Commissioners. Sir Charles Frederick Williams kt. Josh. Evans esq. hon. Robert G. Cecil Fane.' 19 August 1844; Court of Bankruptcy. unknown

Herbert Palmer [Herbert Edward Palmer] (1880-1961), English poet [Amy Cruse, English author]:
Herbert Palmer; Amy Cruse Substantial Autograph Letter Signed Herbert Palmer to Amy Cruse discussing in detail the relative merits of his book 'Post-Victorian Poetry' and her 'After the Victorians' with unsigned autograph draft of Cruse's reply.
Both Palmer's letter and the copy of Cruse's reply undated both circa 1938. Palmer's letter from 22 Batchwood View St Albans Herts. Both items good on lightly-aged paper. Palmer's letter: 4to 6 pp. Text clear and complete. He begins by apologising if his letter to her 'sounded very ungracious': 'I was unaware at the time that you had made any acknowledgement to me and as I have had my brains picked so frequently without acknowledgment including of course plagiarisms from my poems I was again feeling rather depressed & exasperated'. While describing her book as 'really . very good' and 'reliable' he suggests a number of changes giving examples of 'where we clash'. In a postscript he concludes 'I think we are both very good on the poets of the nineties. Your only serious weakness that you say nothing about Yeats. Mine that I clean forgot to point out that Le Gallienne was the best seller of the Rhymers' Club crowd. .' In the draft of her reply 4to 2 pp Cruse thanks him for his 'friendly criticism' before dealing with a number of the points he raises. She has 'not attempted anything like the complete detailed & critical survey of the Post Victorian poets' that he has given in his book but has concerned herself 'with the readers rather than the writers; & my material being drawn largely from informal documents such as letters & diaries it is likely that I have allowed some inaccuracies to come in'. Both Palmer's letter and the copy of Cruse's reply undated [both circa 1938]. Palmer's letter from 22 Batchwood View, St Albans, unknown

The letter: undated 'Knowsley <> of L. Derby'. Letter: 12mo 4 pp. Bifolium. Text clear and entire but with the outer pages grubby. He has 'no wish to annoy other members of the Court family' so it will 'go no further'. 'It is cool of Miss Court to talk thhe confidence of her own home when she made the statement to Mrs Bulkeley in her own drawing-room.' Suggests that Draper send 'the Postmistress' a 'reminder'. 'She is so accustomed to threatening letters from her creditors' lawyers that she possibly may disregard this.' Asks him to 'make her understand that withholding an apology may have sharp consequences'. There will be 'a few quiet folk here in the Whitsun week' and the Collinses will be 'delighted to see you'. Card: attractively printed in light brown purple and gold on one side of a piece of shiny paper 12 x 14 cm. Gives Collins's name and dates above an anonymous two-stanza 16-line poem beginning 'The poet may tread earth sadly Yet is he Dreamland's king; And the fays at his bidding gladly Visions of beauty bring.' The refrain is 'Comes of age.' The letter: undated, 'Knowsley, <?> of L. Derby' unknown

21 November 1957; 6 Liskeard Gardens London SE3 on New Statesman letterhead. 8vo 2 pp 33 lines. Good on lightly aged and creased paper. An interesting letter written by a former policeman to a former probation officer on the subject of the latter's book 'Come to Prison: A Tour through British Prisons today' Longmans 1957 about which the former has written a negative review. Begins by praising Stokes' 'really generous letter written at what cost in self-control I can only dimly imagine'. When Hewitt 'read the published review' he thought 'that it was still on the whole unfair'. 'I hate reviewing really and am a bad reviewer. Objectivity eludes me and I pontificate as if I were the only man in the world with the knowledge of the subject.' He claims what he 'really thought' was that 'the name of Sewell Stokes commands respect'. He remembers 'how very impressed G. W. Stonier was years ago with Court Circular though I thought that book was unfair!' He is writing 'an Observer "profile" ' of Sir Lionel Fox whom they both admire. Concludes 'I'm afraid your very readable book will be a success despite the price!' 21 November 1957; 6 Liskeard Gardens, London, SE3, on New Statesman letterhead. unknown

15 September 1871; on letterhead of The Sporting Gazette 135 Strand London W.C. 12mo 2 pp. Text complete and legible on grubby and creased paper. Trace of grey paper mount adhering to blank verso of second leaf of bifolium. Crude caricature of a man's face in top left-hand corner of first page. Draper 'bolted from the Club last night' - Webber can 'guess the cause' - 'thereby depriving the committee of the unit necessary to form a quorum'. Had he not done so 'Marks would have shown you the drawing which he had brought down finished for your inspection.' Webber will 'bring it with me to the Circle to-morrow. It is glorious!' He asks Draper to 'bring an illustration for the Annual - in fact a card-portrait of yourself for the cover'. Also asks him to bring a portrait of Leigh if he has one '& so save me the trouble of bothering him - perhaps fruitlessly'. 15 September 1871; on letterhead of The Sporting Gazette, 135 Strand, London W.C. unknown
