réf. 2587No date c.1940-1; Sgts. Mess Mildenhall Suffolk. 2 pages 8vo both with Royal Air Force letterhead bearing the motto 'PER ARDUA AD ASTRA'. Not in good condition - creased frayed torn and discoloured - but a marvellous and immediate piece of history regarding what one authority describes as the 'strategic bombing . principally against the Ruhr on which No.149 concentrated during the winter of 1940-1'. The letter begins 'Dear Mum Just a line to thank you for the photographs I think that one of you is very good. I have done two raids so far the last one was very good we bombed the dockyards on the Ruhr and started three lovely big fires I think that every bomber in the Air Force was over that night bombs were bursting everywhere and the A. A. fire was just like bonfire night. I think the German A. A. and their searchlights are rotten they never got anywhere near our machine. We are doing another raid tonight and I hope we give them another good plastering.' Two sentences of domestic comment conclude the letter. It is a question how the writer was able to give away so much information. No date [c.1940-1]; Sgts. Mess, Mildenhall, Suffolk. unknown
réf. 2294922 October 2007. With label carrying his Essex address. 2pp folio. In envelope with stamp and postmark addressed to Corden's Mill Hill address. Letter folded twice and letter and envelope in good condition. He begins by thanking him for sending 'the inscribed copy of Ken Delve's "Story of the Spitfire" - a truly excellent book just jam-packed with detail - he must have done a prodigious amount of research to put it all together'. He is 'bowled over by the extent of Corden's munificence'. Rose finds it 'a continuing source of amazement that such a "cult" has developed over everything to do with the Spitfire but it does reinforce the conviction that it was completely unique and a real lady!' He laments the 'dwindling' of 'the number of aircrew' at 'the annual re-union of B. of B. survivors at Bentley Priory Stanmore': 'about 40 this year but of course there are still a few abroad and also several who are unable to travel'. He reports that the Ministry of Defence 'has sold the Priory and its magnificent parkland surroundings for a tidy sum I believe but with a reservation that the centre part of the Georgian building will be kept to commemorate Dowding's management of the RAF during the battle - could be used as a museum for reunion of survivors for cadet training etc. -'. He ends with renewed thanks for the gift and in the hope that they may 'meet one day - but it'll have to be fairly soon as I shall be 90 next June!' 22 October 2007.

2007réf. 88949New York: Rodale Books 2007. First Printing Stated. Hardcover. Very good/Good. xiv 274 pages. Name index. The dust jacket has some wear and tear. Inscribed by Senator Schumer on the title page to his friend and colleague former Senator Kent Conrad. The inscription reads: "To Kentie: Why do I love the Senate Most of all its because there are people like Kent Conrad who are there. You are a joy to watch listen to and learn from. I admire you and am glad we are friends! Chuck". Also included is a note from Senator Schumer on his Senate stationary to Senator Conrad dated April 26 2007 stating that Senator Schumer's book is enclosed. Charles Ellis Schumer born November 23 1950 is an American politician serving as Senate Majority Leader since 2021 and as a United States senator from New York since 1999. He has led the Senate Democratic Caucus since 2017 and was Senate Minority Leader from 2017 to 2021. He became New York's senior senator in 2001 on the retirement of Daniel Patrick Moynihan. Elected to a fifth Senate term in 2022 Schumer surpassed Moynihan and Jacob K. Javits as the longest-serving U.S. senator from New York. Daniel L. Squadron born November 9 1979 is an American politician and former member of the New York State Senate for the 26th district. A Democrat Squadron was elected a New York State Senator in 2008 and was a candidate in the 2013 race for New York Public Advocate. In August 2017 he resigned from the State Senate to work with entrepreneur Adam Pritzker and Jeffrey Sachs of Columbia University to launch Future Now a national initiative to promote "policies focused on creating a better healthier fairer future." New York’s popular senior senator who won reelection by the largest margin in the state’s history offers a bold plan for change in the Democratic party. As the results of the last presidential election played out it became clear that while Democrats call themselves the party of the middle the middle class does not consider the Democrats their party. Now Chuck Schumer who has gained national prominence as the head of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and as a member of the Finance Committee offers his plan for capturing the middle-class vote and moving his party back into the majority. Democrats can accomplish this the senator explains without abandoning their traditional principles. Schumer envisions a hypothetical average middle-class American family—he thinks of them as "The Baileys"—who spend "as much time talking about the cost of cornflakes as the cost of the national debt." He then details specific proposals he believes would keep America safe secure and on top; and support the aspirations of a prosperous and growing middle class while speaking to anxieties created in a world changed by technology and globalization. For example he proposes to: · increase the number of college graduates by 50%. · reduce property taxes by 50%. New York's popular senior senator who won reelection by the largest margin in the states history offers a bold plan for change in the Democratic party. He also details specific proposals he believes would keep America safe secure and on top.

Before his election to the U.S. Senate Schumer served in the US House of Representatives from 1981 to 1999 representing New York's 16th congressional district later redistricted to the 10th congressional district in 1983 and to the 9th congressional district in 1993. A native of Brooklyn and graduate of Harvard College and Harvard Law School he was a three-term member of the New York State Assembly serving from 1975 to 1980.

Of the journey he writes: 'its not particularly rough but its the speed we are going that makes her roll we are now steaming past Deal at the rate of 19.8. so you can judge the rate we are going . we are ripping as the sailors call it. She's a very good sea boat so far. Shes alright down below but on deck oh my she simply washes down fore and half so we stay down below as much as we can. We had it rough last night off lands end but she behaved very well you would laugh if you were here we were standing on the forecastle last night watching her capers and a big fat wave came and washed us out of it she doesnt attempt to jump over them but she simply plunges right through it You ought to of seen us we was like a lot of drownded rats and then their was a yell how do you like Her.' He reports that 'we have a lot of young Blue Jacket sailor Boys on board we are going to take them out to Australia and I pittied them last night they were all sick and one of our little drumer sic Boys was that bad we had to take him to the Doctor in fact we thought he was going to roll up but he's alright now of course it doesnt effect us old seadogs'. He reports that the ship is going to Grimsby and Hull and then Torquay. He declares 'I shant kiss anybody else Annie Glenister ask me for one when I was at home but I wouldnt giver her one she said it was to bad of me she said if it was Lou Blane you wouldnt say no Not I. why should I you had better answer that one day when I was in No. 9 Union terrace the two annies got me down in the dressmaking shop and both of them kissed me what cheek but didnt I pay them out for it I got annie J.

Thomson Glasgow and originally named HMS Phoenix. She was launched on 28 October 1889 and was renamed Tauranga as part of the Auxiliary Squadron of the Australia Station on 2 April 1890 arriving in Sydney with the squadron on 5 September 1891. She saw service during the Samoan civil war in 1899 and spent between 1901 and 1903 in reserve at Sydney before being assigned to the New Zealand division of the Australia Station. She left the Australia Station on 14 December 1904 and was sold for scrap in July 1906. 'H.M.S. Tauranga at Sea' [undated, but presumably on HMS Tauranga's maiden voyage to Australia, 1890]. unknown
