Henry Williamson (1895-1977), English novelist, naturalist and ruralist, best-known for his book 'Tarka the Otter':
Henry Williamson novelist and ruralist author of ‘Tarka the Otter’. Long typewritten description of his farm Bank House Botesdale Suffolk with autograph emendations intended to aid its sale but surprisingly readable.
No date or place. 1950; Bank House Botesdale Suffolk. See his entry in the Oxford DNB. According to Anne Williamson’s 1995 biography Williamson decided on the spot to purchase the farm at Bank House Botesdale Suffolk when his car broke down across the road from it in July 1945. The purchase price was £1700. Five years later he decided that the farm ‘could be honourably sold and he could become a full-time writer again’. It was sold in September 1950 for £2600 although as Anne Williamson notes and the present item makes clear a higher price had previously been considered. The present item is a 3pp 4to. It is a complete typescript of Williamson’s sale description of the house with numerous autograph emendations ending ‘Price for quick sale £3500.’ On two leaves of A4 paper the first of which has some damage to one corner at the top resulting in some damage to three or four typed words and one word in autograph all of which are easily supplied. Otherwise in good condition lightly aged and creased with one horizontal fold. Sixty-seven lines of text beginning: ‘Bank House Botesdale a village with a broad main street containing many houses of Georgian design and period some with creeper and clematis covered fronts lies between Diss and Bury St Edmunds in a district of rural Suffolk yet close to the main-line station to Ipswich and London.’ Not unexpectedly a highly readable account for a practical document with some indication that the writer is an author. In fact in the second paragraph he writes autograph addition in square brackets: ‘The last five years it has been occupied by an author Henry Williamson who wrote the Phasian Bird in the large top-story room with its western view over far-flung arable fields and woods.’ Later on: ‘There is a seperate entrance to the large gravelled yard with grass borders by means of a courtyard gate leading to a tiled garage holding two motorcars; and adjoining a cement-floored workshop. The area of this year and buildings is about that of a tennis court with margins for overplay.’ And later still: ‘It is not an large unwieldy house but a spacious dwelling built for himself by one of the burgesses of this old Suffolk village when wool from the great ewe-flocks of the neighbourhood was yet the basis of England’s wealth by the craft of the East Anglian weavers.’ Williamson describes how he has spent ‘a fair amount of money on reconditioning the place’. See Image. No date or place. [1950; Bank House, Botesdale, Suffolk.] unknown

Addressed to ‘My dear Beresford-Hope’ and signed ‘H. Fisher’. Twenty-eight lines of text. He begins a gently teasing letter by stating that he is delighted to hear of Beresford-Hope’s ‘triumph in the Diplomatic Service examination’ his wife joining him in sending congratulations. ‘Herbert is a good man and moreover a man of a sic Balliol and it is a distinction to have got ahead of him.’ He presumes that Beresford-Hope is now ‘the complete foreigner retaining only the slightest acquaintance with your native tongue’. He urges him to ‘Become an ambassador if you like the sooner the better but do not plunge us into war or in any way imitate the proceedings of that courteous but unwise gentleman the late Duc de Grammont. Eradicate by your personal example the false maxim now so prevalent that England expects every diplomat to play polo.’ He thinks that BH has ‘a chance of going ahead judging from the deplorable feebleness of so many of our Foreign Blue books notably the recent collection of reports in Foreign Income boxes compiled by the second secretaries of our legations.’ He ends by inviting him to ‘Come and see us when you are next this way.’ 9 June 1907; 34 Norham Road, Oxford. unknown

Francis Gerard [Francis Edward Marie Gerard] (1906-1966), English thriller and science fiction writer who settled in South Afric
Francis Gerard thriller and science fiction writer. Two Typed Letters Signed to Eileen Cond discussing his plans for writing and work for the ‘delightful old boy’ Sir Ernest Oppenheimer and his Anglo American Corporation of South Africa.
12 March 1950; ‘P.O. Box 143 Westville Natal South Africa.’ 19 August 1955; Caroline Cottage 1st Avenue Inanda Johannesburg. Good letters the second with biographical content about a prolific yet elusive author. The recipient Eileen Margaret Cond 1911-1984 was an enthusiastic collector of autographs with the ability to draw a more than perfunctory response from her targets. Both letters in good condition on lightly aged paper folded for postage. Each bearing large stylized signature ‘Francis Gerard’ and addressed to ‘Dear Miss Cond’. ONE 12 March 1950. 1p 4to. He reports that he is ‘busy on a new thriller which I have given the provisional title of HORNED HAVEN’ the title does not show up among Gerard’s published works. ‘The General Election in England was followed by us out here with an almost unbearable feeling of tension and for my part I realised that though I am now officially a citizen of this country that I will never make a good South African.’ He reports ‘a tremendous flap about the Seretse Khama business which seems to have been handled just about as stupidly as it could have been’. He is returning her bookplates ‘with Gérard his mark upon them though I still don’t know when you’ll be able to stick the second one into TRANSPARENT TRAITOR. I gather the whole printing and publishing trade is in a parlous condition in England thanks to machinery being worn out and not replaced owing to Cripps’ insistence on all such new tackle being for export only.’ He ends with a warning regarding ‘the temperature in Durban’ for her father. TWO: 2pp foolscap 8vo. A long letter. He has been ‘wandering around Central Africa with a bunch of geologists and mining engineers’ and finding her letter is ‘touched by the continuance of your long-range friendship’. There is ‘little chance’ of his producing another book for some time. ‘When I do it will be a very different kind of book from what I have written in the past.’ The next two paragraphs describe his employment with the Anglo American Corporation of South Africa. ‘My job is a peculiar one half industrial relations and man management half public relations. The AAC is the biggest mining group in the world. It is also an enormously powerful finance house. At the head of it sits Sir Ernest Oppenheimer who despite his fantastic wealth is a most charming and delightful old boy.’ He describes how in his first year with AAC he ‘travelled nearly 30000 miles about Southern and Central Africa by aircraft car jeep horse or on my own flat feet. I went underground in diamonds gold coal copper and base metals. I stayed in palatial guest-houses or at lonely Jesuit missions in the bush. I went through malaria tsetse-fly country where you shot for the pot and kept a wary eye open for crocodile leopard or buffalo and once was fortunate to have my pygmy friends drive a gorilla for me. You do not shoot these. They are Royal Game and if you kill one it costs you a £600 fine.’ He continues for a while before describing his family. A paragraph follows in which he claims not to have ‘sold myself to Mammon’. He praises the ‘Ernest Oppenheimer hospital for Africans at Welkom’ as ‘the finest thing of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere’. He winds up with a paragraph on his ‘financial benefits’ and another on his children’s school results the former beginning ‘Well there it is. This is why Francis Gerard has not appeared on the back of a book for some time.’ 12 March 1950; ‘P.O. Box 143, Westville, Natal [South Africa].’ 19 August 1955; Caroline Cottage, 1st Avenue, Inanda, Johann unknown

H. -’ He has been ‘overwalled’ and is ‘off to recruit for a space’. 14 December 1905. On letterhead of 50 Egerton Gardens, S.W. [London] unknown

Writing from on board the winning yacht ‘Dianthus’ he describes how the contest for the North Sea Trophy began at Dover with the ‘Dianthus’ racing ‘the Inyone and Wave Queen’. In the nighttime fog the ‘Dianthus’ encounters ‘a steamer which we supposed to be the Ostend boat’ which ‘only just stopped her engines in time to avoid running us down. The next day the fog cleared and we were abreast of the North Hinder at noon distant about 5 miles. We had to leave all the light ships on the Dutch and German coasts on the starboard hand’. He continues his account of the contest with reference to ‘the Haaks light ship’ and those of ‘Terschelling’ and ‘Borthum’. Eventually ‘we sighted Heligoland right ahead. Inyone crossed the line at 9.32 pm and we crossed it at 9.51 but as Inyone had to allow us 4 hours we were the winner by 3 hours 21 minutes. The winning line was a search light ray thrown from a man of war and when our sails were illuminated by the ray they fired a gun and we knew it was over. The Emperor’s yacht “Haarzollern†was there as well as the man of war “Marsâ€. They told us if we waited 2 hours a tug would tow us to the Elbe but we remained hove to in a heavy sea till 4 am and no tug coming we sailed to the Elbe a torpedo boat towed us up the last reach to the canal entrance and nearly pulled us under water.’ Eventually they are ‘presented to the Emperor who gave us the cup and talked to us about our voyage’. After ‘a big dinner’ with ‘sweet Champagne’ they sail from Kiel arriving at Copenhagen from where they will shortly sail to Gothenburg. ‘Yacht “Dianthus†/ Copenhagen / June 29th / 1899’. unknown

Jon Stallworthy [Jon Howie Stallworthy] (1935-2014), literary critic and poet, Oxford University Professor of English [Christoph
Jon Stallworthy literary critic and poet. Typed Letter Signed 'Jon' to the playwright Christopher Fry praising Fry's 'screen-play for the film of Genesis' which John Bell of the Oxford University Press had wanted to publish.
Wolfson College Oxford; 8 February 2001. 1p 8vo. In good condition. Folded twice. With secretarial note in blue pencil recording response by 'C.F.' The letter concerns Fry's screenplay for the 1966 film 'The Bible: In the Beginning.' produced by Dino De Laurentiis and directed by John Huston which recounts the first 22 chapters of the Book of Genesis. Stallworthy wonders whether Fry remembers 'that “in the dark backward and abyss of time†the OUP wanted to publish your screen-play for the film of Genesis but the film company's lawyers wouldn't allow it. John Bell 1922-2008 senior editor at the Oxford University Press and I were desolated and over the years I have so often remembered/half-remembered/mis-remembered your opening stage-direction description of the first days of creation that I'm writing to ask whether by any happy chance you have a copy of those pages that I could see and show to deserving friends' He ends by stating that his brother-in-law 'Jim Thompson Bishop of Bath and Wells for one would like to see it – almost as much as Yours ever Jon'.

Sir George Prothero [Sir George Walter Prothero; Sir G W Prothero], English historian, editor of Quarterly Review [Henry William
Sir George Prothero historian as editor of the Quarterly Review. Autograph Letter Signed ‘G. W. Prothero’ and dictated Manuscript Letter to Professor H. W. C. Davis regarding article on H. W. V. Temperley and Paris Peace Conference of 1919.
7 November 1921 and 30 March 1922; each on letterhead of The Quarterly Review 50A Albemarle Street London W.1. In addition to the entry for Prothero in the Oxford DNB see those of H. W. C. Davis 1874-1928 and H. W. V. Temperley 1879-1939 which reveal the interest all three had in the Paris Peace Conference of 1919. Both items in good condition lightly aged. Each folded once. Both addressed to 'Davis'. ONE: 7 November 1921. 4pp 12mo. Dictated and entirely including signature in the hand of an amanuensis. He is ‘delighted’ that Davis will be able to ‘write about Temperley & Co.’ Temperley published his six-volume account of the Conference between 1920 and 1924 and will be sending the books as soon as he can ‘get the American one which I have sent for’. He will also be sending the number of the Quarterly Review ‘containing Satow’s Art.’ He continues: ‘Temperly is certainly rather prickly & was annoyed with something in Satow’s paper & in the end I had to be rather short with him’. He thanks Davis for his enquiry after his health: ‘It is not good! but better than it was. I had to spend all last winter abroad which I did not like & not long after I got back I broke down again - but I am pulling round. You see this letter is not in my hand writing - but it saves time & trouble to dictate.’ His Chichele Lectures delivered in 1920 at Oxford ‘are really not fit for publication’: they ‘want a lot done’ but he hopes he ‘may be able to publish them some day’. In a postscript he sends belated congratulations to him on his professorship. TWO: 30 March 1922. 2pp. 12mo. Following on from Item One he begins by informing Davis that the article he agreed to write on the Paris Conference the previous November for publication that April is ‘too late for this number which is all in type & in page now but I shd. be glad to know if I may expect it for the July number.’ The fact that the article is late cannot be helped but as ‘there have been so many Conferences since that people have ceased to take an interest in Paris’ and he thinks the best way to treat the subject is ‘to bring it into connexion with the later Conferences showing how these have grown out of the Paris one & to confine oneself so far as the books are concerned to contrasting the views of Tardieu André Tardieu Clemenceau’s deputy at the conference & the Americans with the “official†- or semi-official - Temperley.’ He concludes: ‘I must not publish more than 6000 words at most on the subject & shd. prefer the art. to be shorter if possible.’ 7 November [1921] and 30 March 1922; each on letterhead of The Quarterly Review, 50A Albemarle Street, London, W.1. unknown

Sir Charles Oman [Sir Charles William Chadwick Oman] (1860-1946), English military historian and Librarian of All Souls College,
Sir Charles Oman military historian. Three Autograph Letters Signed all ‘C. W. C. Oman’ as Librarian of All Souls College to ‘Mr Harlow’ of Rhodes House Library regarding his proposal about ‘the long series of Cape Parliamentary proceedings’.
2 7 and 21 June 1937. All three on the letterhead of the Library of All Souls College Oxford. See Oman’s entry in the Oxford DNB. Each letter 1p 12mo. Each folded once. All three in good condition lightly aged. The correspondence concerns Harlow’s proposal according to the letter of 2 June 1937 ‘that All Souls College should present to the Rhodes House Library the comparatively few yearly numbers of the Cape Parliamentary proceedings 1875-1910 which are not already in either the Bodleian or the Rhodes House shelves - keeping for the College the residuence a broken set of about 200 volumes’. In the first letter Oman states that he will place the suggestion before the library committee adding ‘I must confess that it seems to me rather a crime from the point of view of a library to break a complete set. We shall perhaps be able to find some institution in London which would like the entire file’. He nevertheless sympathizes with Harlow’s ‘plea that a duplicate or almost duplicate set in your shelves would be a burden’. In the second letter he writes that he does ‘see the point’ of Harlow’s proposal: ‘avoidance of duplication’. In the last of the three letters which Oman signs ‘C. W. C. Oman / Librarian A. S. C.’ he informs Harlow that the library committee have voted ‘that it was prepared to present to the Rhodes House Library the volumes 1875-79 of the Cape Parliamentary reports and the odd numbers of Appendix 1 2. 3 and n7 of 1883 and 1 of Appendix II of the same year. The Committee intends to keep and dispense of the other volumes of the long set’. Harlow is invited to send for the Rhodes House volumes. 2, 7 and 21 June 1937. All three on the letterhead of the Library of All Souls College, Oxford. unknown

James Glaisher (1809-1903), English aeronaut and meteorologist who made balloon ascents with Henry Tracey Coxwell (1819-1900) [S
James Glaisher aeronaut and meteorologist. Two Unsigned Autograph Drafts: the first of Letter to ‘Mrs Wallis’ on ‘English legislation against Sunday trading’; the second with reference to the Fabian Society.
Draft of letter to 'Mrs Wallis': 18 May 1900. 50 Great Russell Street W.C. London offices of the Photographic Society of Great Britain. Other draft Fabian Society without date or place. See Glaisher’s entry in the Oxford DNB. The story of Glaisher’s balloon flights is travestied in the 2019 film ‘The Aeronaut’ with his co-pilot Henry Tracey Coxwell being replaced by the fictional female character ‘Amelia Wren’. The object of the ascents made on behalf of the British Association between 1862 and 1866 was to carry out scientific observations in such matters as the variation in temperature and humidity of the atmosphere at high elevations. On 5 September 1862 the coal-gas-filled balloonof Glaisher and Coxwell broke the world flight altitude record reaching 30000 to 36000 ft 9000 to 11000 m. The present items are unsigned autograph drafts from Glaisher’s papers both with deletions and emendations. ONE: Unsigned Autograph Draft of letter to ‘Mrs. Wallis’ from the offices of the Photographic Society of Great Britain of which Glaisher was President dated 18 May 1900. 4pp 12mo. On bifolium. In very good condition lightly aged. In answer to her letter he begins with a review of ‘English legislation against Sunday trading’ beginning with a reference to a statute of 1443. A bill being put before Parliament has ‘no chance of passing and will probably be withdrawn’ and ‘of course is a renewed attempt to introduce Sunday labor - which should be opposed tooth and nail’. TWO: Part of Unsigned Autograph Draft to unnamed recipient and without date or place. An intriguing fragment beginning: ‘So much for me. / Now for yourself. I am disappointed. You started out so splendidly. I want you to grow; to take the position which you ought if we are to get the best out of you.’ He urges the recipient to ‘get help: don’t rely on yourself quite so much’. Later he writes: ‘The Fabian Society has “principles†or it couldn’t hold together. You have “principles†- It is only a matter of expression’. Draft of letter to 'Mrs Wallis': 18 May 1900. 50 Great Russell Street, W.C. [London offices of the Photographic Society of Great unknown
