He informs the recipient that as the review list for the book is closed its publishers Wightman & Co have sent on the reviewer's letter to Musgrave. 'We are following this course as much interest exists between the North Country & West Africa. In fact the deadly colonies of the coast would soon come to a standstill were it not for the labours of numbers of Scotchmen who brave the climate in a way that makes "Southerners" wonder'. He describes his book as 'an unpretentious little volume of more interest perhaps for its side lights than the account of the expedition which has been so fully dealt upon in Major Baden Powell's Diary "The Downfall of Prempeh".' Baden Powell's book is 'a well produced & expensive work . beyond the reach of ordinary readers whilst its interest is mainly military rather than general'. Letter Two 25 December 1896: 3pp. 12mo. Bifolium. He discusses a photographic reproduction which the recipient would like to accompany his review in the Figaro. Musgrave gives the details of the printer J.

réf. 22048The first of the four letters on letterhead of Little Parkhurst Abinger Common Nr Dorking Surrey; the other three without place. One from 1940 two from 1941 one from 1943. The recipient Simon Nicholson was a colonial civil servant and a neighbour of Lugard at Tallboys in Abinger Hammer. He and his wife Molly were a cultured couple and were friends of Edith Wharton and Bernard Berenson. The four letters are in good condition lightly aged and worn and each is 2pp 12mo. Each folded once. The first three are signed 'Lugard' and the last to Molly Nicholson 'Fred Lugard'. In the first letter 23 September 1940 after expressing pleasure at seeing Nicholson again and having 'a talk' he begs him 'not to postpone your week-end here. Molly needs it – badly – She did not say so – quite the contrary but I did not need to be told.' He asks him to come the following Saturday adding: 'You can bring papers & have the drawing-room to yourself.' He asks to be informed 'as much in advance as is convenient as I may have Reg Brackenbury & his wife any week-end'. Lugard's brother 'was disappointed that you forgot to hand me some papers you had for him'. The second letter 21 March 1941 concerns arrangements for a meeting with Lugard stating that 'it is a monstrous long time since I have seen you'. He also expresses regret that Nicholson is 'selling Tallboys'. The third letter 9 May 1941 begins: 'My brother & I are both delighted to hear that you are coming back to Tallboys & selfishly hope that you will continue to fail in your attempts to sell it. If Little Parkhurst can be of any use to you in the transition don't fail to make use of it.' He has 'been much engrossed with Abyssinia of late' and looks forward to talking to Nicholson about it. In a postscript he names two individuals who 'are coming “to talk over old times”'. In the final letter to Molly 22 January 1943 he regrets that it is so long since he has seen her and her husband 'for though so comparatively close the lack of petrol has as you say placed a gulf between us. Simon wrote me a most welcome letter from his office & I enclose this little note to you in my reply.' He find the 'news from Russia … very cheering - & wonderful' and does not suppose it will be 'very long now before our turn comes to face the Nazis in Europe'. He ends in the hope that 'some obliging friend' will give the Nicholsons 'a lift over'. The first of the four letters on letterhead of Little Parkhurst, Abinger Common, Nr Dorking, Surrey; the other three without pla unknown

The firm was definitely active at that address from 1867 to 1879 but the image appears to be earlier rather than later in this period. The uniform is that of the NSW Volunteer Artillery from the 1860s. Very similar caps are also to be found in a Tasmanian photograph in the collection of the Australian War Memorial A04784 'ten men of the Hobart Town Volunteers Artillery and ten men from the First Rifles' dated October 1863. unknown
