‎Franklin White (1892-1975), Australian artist, teacher at the Slade Art School, London; Harold Copping (1863-1932), artist;; Lou‎

‎Franklin White Australian artist. 24 items from his papers including drafts and copies of his letters to the feminist Thelma Cazalet-Keir and the artist Harold Copping and an ALS to him from Louis McCubbin National Gallery of South Australia.‎

‎Several of White's letters on letterheads of The Reedbeds Shoreham Nr. Sevenoaks Kent. Between 1921 and 1968. Two years after arriving in England from Australia in 1913 Franklin White entered the Slade School. His studies were interrupted by the First World War during which he worked as a draughtsman at the Admiralty. In 1919 he re-entered the Slade and was soon invited by Tonks to join the teaching staff. On his retirement in 1957 he devoted his full energies to the Samuel Palmer School of Art which he had run from his home in Shoreham since 1924 when he first held summer classes in landscape painting for his Slade students. In the 1950s the school expanded to take in residential students and despite ill-health White continued his teaching through his later years. White's work is to be found in the permanent collections of a number of major galleries in Britain and Australia including the British Museum Victoria and Albert Museum the Ashmolean and the National Gallery of Australia. The present collection of material from White's papers mainly consists of drafts and copies of letters although at least one addressed to Thelma Cazalet-Keir Item Ten below would appear to be the original letter and White admitted in Item One below to a habit of writing letters and not sending them. The draft letters contain material of biographical interest with FW discussing his home and studio business affairs teaching methods. A number of items concern the setting up of his residential school at Shoreham see Items Two and Three to 'Fleming' and Eight and Nine. In the 1920s Shoreham – previously the home of William Blake's disciple Samuel Palmer – had become something of an artistic enclave along the lines of St Ives. The collection is in good condition with light signs of age and wear. The following description is divided into fourteen parts the first nine of which describe material in FW's autograph. ONE: Autograph draft or copy of letter to 'Mr. Holland'. 15 February 1921. On Reedbeds letterhead. 2pp. 4to. FW and his wife are 'comfortably settled' in their new home 'the new “Reedbedsâ€' which dates from the fifteenth century: 'In sorting out and arranging letters accounts & papers I found no less than five written to you and never posted. Mr. Syrett would say he quite expected as much from me however my business methods are improving now that I have my place to arrange as suits me. I am getting on well with my work at the Slade School London University I like the work and it brings me in touch with the top people in the art world. I am selling work and get an occasional commission for a portrait and this summer I am taking a pupil at £4 a week and with my £225 a year from the Slade you see I am now able to do a little for myself. The Slade is a good thing for me as it brings me in contact with people and only takes up three days of the week the rest of the week I can devote to producing work for exhibitions & selling.' After a reference to 'Miss Fricker' he discusses his 'visits to the class': 'I should like it clearly understood that I cannot have outside people coming in while the class is in progress whether it is anyone connected with art the Education Board or Sevenoaks Counsellors or anyone else. We must treat the class with absolute seriousness or I cannot afford to give the time to it.' TWO: Part of autograph draft of letter to 'Fleming' originally 'Mr Syret'. 2 May 1921; on Reedbeds letterhead. 2pp. 4to. In what appears to be a response to a proposal from Fleming that FW find London artists to teach a class at Sevenoaks he writes: 'I am afraid you would not be able to get anyone of any standing to give up the time it would require to come all the way from town. I ventured it at the Slade the fee etc but although a desire for a better feeling in art should be encouraged they could not see how anyone could afford to give up the time. … The class of students would be very distasteful to me then of course I partly imagine & partly judge from the visit to Sevenoaks'. Nevertheless he gives conditions which would have to met for him to consider the engagement. THREE: Autograph draft or copy of letter to 'Dear Fleming'. 11 June 1921. On Reedbeds letterhead. 2pp. 4to. 'The days of Gold Medallists at the Slade were days long before the present Slade tradition and it goes for nothing at all in fact you might say that ithas nothing to do with the Slade and is more akin to the hard work done at South Kensington and other places.' FOUR: First part 1p. 4to of autograph draft or copy of letter to 'Mr. Syrett'. From the Reedbeds. Concerning the question of deductions 'from the sum received from the Richardsons' he writes: 'I do not believe for one moment that the vague artistic temperament cannot be businesslike in the very least. … I have now overcome the big <> difficulty a painter has to overcome to certain degrees to be able to work more rapidly. I find that I am developing a bigger interest in more pecuniary affairs.' FIVE and SIX: Autograph drafts of two letters to 'Mr Copping' i.e. the artist and FW's Shoreham neighbour Harold Copping 1863-1932. The first a short note. 10 February 1921; Redbeds. 1p. 4to. The second an autograph draft of the beginning of a letter. 17 February 1921; on Reedbeds letterhead. 1p. 4to. He invites the Coppings to supper 'so we can settle the question you wish settled … I consider it a rather small affair which all village matters must of necessity be in relation to life'. SEVEN: Autograph draft of letter to the owner of a cottage – possibly 'the new “Reedbedsâ€' mentioned in Item One – which he appears to be looking to buy or let. 2pp. 12mo. 'I have not had a definite answer from 'Mr. Dowdy' see Item Nine about the room to work in and put my things into. If this is satisfactory I shall be able to put all my goods into the room. I am sure you will find we shall take care of everything in your cottage.' EIGHT: 12mo Reedbeds letterhead carrying parts of autograph drafts of two letters. Recto dated 13 February 1922 concerning the letting of a cottage on FW's recommendation; verso undated to a prospective student stating that 'as a number of students & others have responded to my offer I am now able to run the class at a smaller fee. A number of students came on the 11.40 Tulse Hill 11.44 Bat & Ball and others on 1.20 T.H. & 1.24 B.B. and I am able to charge 5/ per lesson for this.' NINE: Remains of 12mo notebook containing five pages of autograph notes. Undated but with printed calendars for 1918 and 1919 present. Two of the pages carry accounts with 'E E Dowdy' for whom see Item Seven and a third explains that Dowdy has agreed 'to let the room Mr. White is now using as a studio for an indefinite period at the rent of five shillings a week the said room being situated next to the Church Room Shoreham Kent'. Another page carries a draft of a letter to the parent of an 'extremely promising' pupil stating that the 'number of people who wish to have lesson from me each Wednesday has so greatly increased & . the space here is limited for the number of pupils'. TEN: Typed Letter Signed to 'Thelma' i.e. the feminist and Conservative Member of Parliament Thelma Cazalet-Keir 1899-1989. 1 May 1968. 1p. 4to. An interesting letter in which FW expresses 'shock' at the 'Raspit news' her country residence being Raspit Hill in Kent: 'Raspit Hill is a name that became very dear to us … And here I would like to tell you a secret. At the end of 1963 the school nearly came to grief and Gertrude and I were left with very little to carry on the school in 1964. But in our deepest moments of despair you came along and your cheque for £400 saved the school. So you and Raspit will always glow in our memory. … Mrs. Barker delivered your letter picture and blue vase this evening May 1st. I was a student with Robin Guthrie at the Slade so that I am doubley sic pleased to possess one of Guthrie's pictures. He was a splendid draughtsman at the Slade … It will be hung where it will always remind me not of Guthrie but of you.' ELEVEN: Manuscript copy not in FW's hand of 'claims for damage to two pictures sent to Shoreham Station from Canterbury'. 1p. 8vo. 8 September 1928; Reedbeds. The second claim is for '1 picture spoilt for selling & exhibition purposes glass smashed mount soiled frame damaged valued at £10. 10 0 say £8. 8 0 This pictute has been very favourably reviewed in many papers & was of increasing value to me'. TWELVE: TLS to FW from Louis McCubbin 1890-1952 Director National Gallery of South Australia Adelaide. 11 February 1949. 1p. 8vo. Regarding a member of the Gallery's board J. C. Goodchild who 'has just left here on a visit to England and I have given him your name and address and asked him if he will be good enough to inspect your pictures'.THIRTEEN: Five printed invitations made out to FW. Two from the Provost of University College London the first to 'Dr. Pevsner's' lecture the second to 'Dr. Weinberger's' lecture; one for the UCL Union Society Foundation Week 1934; one for the UCL Charter Day Celebrations 1934; one to 'An Assembly of the College Faculties' at UCL 1934. FOURTEEN: Seven receipts addressed to FW for subscriptions to The Times 1934 and 1935. Several of White's letters on letterheads of The Reedbeds, Shoreham, Nr. Sevenoaks, Kent. Between 1921 and 1968. unknown‎

Letter One: He hopes he will not 'appear wanting in courtesy to yourself or to the Editor of the Morning Post if I say frankly that I had much rather not have any conversation about my coming birthday which certain old Harrow pupils and friends propose so kindly to celebrate.' He 'must beg' Walton to 'make allowance for my feeling of reserve on so delicate a matter'. Letter Two: He repeats his refusal adding: 'I have more than once declined proposals from distinguished Publishers to publish incidents of my life and I must adopt the same course with regard to oral communications however kindly suggested. I greatly prefer to remain unrecorded.' Walton is not named the letters being both addressed to 'My dear Sir' but the two items are from his papers.

‎Charles Sedgwick Minot American anatomist. Autograph Letter Signed to Alexander Ramsay editor of the 'Scientific Roll' giving details of plans for an 'International Congress' regarding psychical research.‎

‎25 Mount Vernon Street Boston Massachusetts. 29 September 1884. 4pp. 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition lightly aged. The letter would appear to relate to the formation of the American Society for Psychical Research. Six days before the writing of the present letter on 23 September 1884 Minot had been a member of a committee of nine scientists who met at Boston to consider the advisability of the formation of a society for psychical research in America William James being another member. Minot begins the letter by informing Ramsay that 'in regard to the International Congress' 'The matter has progressed thus far favourably and the extent of the interest in the project surpasses our expectations'. He continues with reference to 'The American Committee' which has been given 'full powers to act' by 'the Amer. Asstn. We have already received a gift of £1000 with promise of more as a fund the income to be expended by the Congress for the prosecution of research.' He continues: 'No definite public announcements can be made until the Council B.A.A.S. i.e. the British Association for the Advancement of Science has taken action in regard to the enterprise. As soon as it is in my power I shall take the liberty of communicating with you again concerning our plans.' Ramsay 'will readily understand that so vast an undertaking necessarily matures slowly; at present we are still in the stage of tentative suggestion and no services can be more valuable than those which contribute to spreading interest in the movement.' He hopes that Ramsay 'will assist in this way. There can be no question as to the readiness of the Americans to join in the proposed Congress – The next step must be to ensure the participation of the British scientists.' 25 Mount Vernon Street, Boston, Massachusetts. 29 September 1884. unknown‎

‎[Christopher Fry [born Arthur Hammond Harris] (1907-2005), playwright] his brother Charles Leslie Harris (b1902) [Bedford School‎

‎Christopher Fry: the schoolboy diaries of his elder brother Charles Leslie Harris. Four years of diaries 1916-1919 covering his time at Bedford School.‎

‎1916 to 1919 each a ‘Charles Letts School-Boy’s Diary’. At front of diaries for 1916 and 1917 he writes: ‘C L. Harris / 120 Gladstone St / Bedford’. See Fry’s entry by Michael Billington in the Dictonary of National Biography. His brother survives as a rather shadowy figure: he was certainly alive in 1978 when Fry referred to him in the account of his family background ‘Can You Find Me / A Family History’ OUP. In that volume Fry describes his ‘brother Leslie’ as a baby ‘growing sturdily’ noting that ‘though he was later called by his first name Charles he was Leslie for many years to come’. The four years of diary entries that are present here are short and factual and rather uneventful but they have a double interest: at once casting light on the family background of one of England’s finest twentieth-century playwrights and giving a picture of the development of an average English middle-class schoolboy around the period of the First World War as he rises to position of ‘Head of School’ at Bedford. The four volumes are in fair condition aged and worn with the 1916 diary sprung from its covers at the gutter of the rear endpapers. The four volumes are uniform in embossed brown cloth described by the publisher as ‘Art Linen’ each with back loop for pencil. Each volume provides space for four days’ entries per page with numerous preliminary printed pages with the customary useful information including endpapers and other matter reflective of the conflict with maps of the Europe theatre illustrations of medals and of a ‘soldier-’ and ‘sailor-boy hero of the Great War’ the last volume carrying a ‘Message from Admiral Sir John Jellicoe to the Readers of “The Schoolboys’ Diary’. In the first three volumes Harris writes in pencil filling in the diary assiduously from 1 January 1916. In the final volume by May of 1919 the entries become intermittent and on 15 August 1919 they cease entirely. In additional to the daily record Harris also provides details of ‘Pocket Money’ personal information including ‘Size in Hats’ and memoranda dates of significant events such as ‘Promoted to Lance-Corporal in the O.T.C.’ ‘Received 1st XV colours’ and on 24 July 1919 ‘Made HEAD OF SCHOOL.’. Loosely inserted are a few postal order counterfoils and Chatham bus tickets. The entries begin in 1916 with Harris on his school holidays doing errands for his widowed mother and reading to her and entertaining his brother ‘Arthur’ i.e. Christopher Fry for example by taking him on walks to town for a haircut and helping him with his stamp collection. The monotony of school begins repeated entries in early volumes start with ‘School as usual’ and the entries reflect the rounds of sport he is captain of the ‘Wasps’ cricket team in 1916 cadet corps bible classes exams trips to London 2 January 1919: ‘Went over St Dunstans in morning with Jack / Uncle Walter took Jack girl Madeleine & myself up to the “Old Vic†to see Shakespear’s “Macbeth†2.0-5.0. Jolly fine performance though a bit tragic / Left & returned by train took 1 hr each way.’ his health recurring toothache mumps etc the weather involvement for the war effort in agriculture 11 September 1918: ‘Another dismal day all by myself. Have quite made up my mind to chuck farming if this goes on especially as when I was happily walking home at 4.30 I ran into more work & had to load wheat till 7.9.’. By 1918 the entries begin to loosen up a little. On 19 March for example: ‘Rotten wet beastly muddy miserable day with a boil on my chin about the size of an egg & a Corps Inspection 2.30 by Lieut Col Pilkington on top of that. The rest may speak for itself. Also EII beat WII by 1/4 length.’ And on 10 September; ‘G his friend Gerald often referred to & I shocked barley all the morning & then ditched until 5.30.

‎Thomas Hughes author of 'Tom Brown's School Days'. Two Autograph Letters Signed both 'Tho. Hughes' to 'Mr. Kynnersley' discussing: meeting Rugby schoolfellow 'Blandford' educating an abandoned boy his co-operative beliefs Joseph Chamberlain.‎

‎ONE: 3 March 1884; 52 Promenade Southport Lancashire on letterhead of the County Courts Circuit No. 9 Chester. TWO: 30 November 1885. On letterhead of Uffington House Chester. Both items in good condition lightly aged. ONE: 3 March 1884. 1p 12mo. Addressed to 'Dear Mr. Kynnersley'. Having received Kynnersley's undated letter he writes: 'I shall meet Blandford as you propose on the 11th. with very great pleasure. He was one of the heroes on whom I used to look with awe as a 3rd. form boy in 1834 in which year I joined & he I think left Rugby.' He is sitting at Congleton on the day of the meeting and 'there is just a chance that some perverse suitor may be in full blast at my train time in which case as I never leave a cause part heard I may be late'. He ends by urging him not to wait 'as we can sit into the short hours at the other end of the symposium if we are not talked out'. TWO: 30 November 1885. 2pp 12mo. Begins: 'Dear Kynnersley Can you help me or tell me how to help myself We have taken as housemaid an excellent woman deserted by a rascal husband who has left her with one child a boy of 10 to support. We can't keep her permanently unless this boy can leave school & are quite ready to take him on at once & train him if he can be let come to us - He can read & write quite fairly but having been moved from pillar to post since the escapade of his sire is only in the 2nd. standard. If he has to stop till he is 13 or in the 4th standard of course it will be out of the question & they must be thrown on the world again but won't this do' He continues with a proposal to take on the boy's schooling 'as our youngest girl of 18 who has just left Holland's Ch. of England High School in Marylebone where she was in whatever answers there to the sixth is yearning for some pupil to perform upon & is a thoroughly trustworthy young person'. He continues with plans for the boy's education before asking: 'Have you jurisdiction or to whom should I apply for the necessary leave' He now gives a very clear exposition of his political views in the light of the demise of the 'Three Acres and a Cow' land reform 'Radical Programme' of the MP for Birmingham Joseph Chamberlain 1836-1914: 'I don't know how you feel but I am not sorry that Chamberlain & Co. are getting a lesson. They were on the high road to attempt to undo all that we Cooperators have been laboriously building up amongst the working classes for these 30 years - self reliance & abstention from state aid of all shapes now that at last the Law allows them a perfectly fair field to work out their own well being - just as the proof of their power to do this is established & they are ready to use their large accumulations in productive works & investments in land for cooperative farming come your unspeakable fellow townsmen or are you not a Birmingham man preaching state aid & ransom by the rich of their prosperity! But I begin to hope they are dished for my time.' ONE: 3 March 1884; 52 Promenade, Southport, Lancashire, on letterhead of the County Courts, Circuit No. 9, Chester. TWO: 30 Nove unknown‎
