Best.-Nr. 25873ONE: 9 October 1888; The Precincts Canterbury. TWO: 17 December 1888; embossed letterhead of the Athenaeum Club Pall Mall London. THREE: 17 November 1895; 18 Queen’s Gate S.W. London FOUR: 23 April 1907; as three. See his entry in the Oxford DNB. The four items in good condition lightly aged and worn and all folded for postage. The last item with pin hole to one corner. The first three addressed to 'Dear Sir' and the last to 'Dear Fisher'. All four signed 'A C Lyall' both with and without periods after the initials. ONE 9 October 1888: 3pp 12mo. Bifolium. He acknowledges the 'list of lectures' which 'contains already several subjects connected with Indian religion so that I am inclined to doubt whether any additional contribution that I could make will not be superflous.' Nevertheless he asks questions about his 'rights over his paper after it has been read' and 'the actual length of time which the lecture is expected to take up in delivery'. TWO 17 December 1888: 3pp 12mo. Bifolium. The 'proof of the Lecture List seems correct' and he suggests sending a dozen copies to his 'standing address' at Queen's Gate. He will 'defer replying definitively' with regard to the 'proposal that my manuscript shall be published in a volume'. He has been preparing the lecture 'in rough notes under the impression that the full manuscript when filled out would be at my own disposal for future use'. THREE 17 November 1895: 2pp 12mo. The date that he suggests will suit Lyall 'very well for my lecture - so far as it is possible to engage ones' sic self for three months hence'. He has 'no experience of illustrations by the magic lantern' and does not know 'whether they would be procurable for a lecture on North India'. FOUR 23 April 1907: 2pp 12mo. Bifolium. Begins: 'Dear Fisher / It would be useless I fear to agree that you should give my name as a reference in connexion with your candidature for a Professorship of Commerical Law.' He explains why this is so before stating: 'In regard to the offices you have held in India no attestation from me is required they can be verified from the Record of Service in the India List and from other documents. / So I am obiged with regret to reply that I cannot comply with your request.' ONE: 9 October 1888; The Precincts, Canterbury. TWO: 17 December 1888; embossed letterhead of the Athenaeum Club, Pall Mall [Lon unknown
