Small octavo one page on the mourning stationery of his home on the Isle of Wight Farringford House Tennyson had lost one of his younger sons in action and would lose another before the end of the war. Folded twice for posting; a few tiny marks; in excellent condition. The letter is brief enough to quote in full: 'Dear Lady Glenconner I am deeply distressed not only for myself but also for all of you. Of course one cannot but be very sorry for both of them. I have spoken to L. fully and he takes a really serious view now I hope; and has promised not to see her during the war. L. ought to protect her against herself. I cannot write more for I feel the thing too acutely. It was kind in you to write to me. Ever yours Tennyson'. Lionel and Clarissa married in March 1918; she was still only 21 years old at the time. They had three children before their divorce in 1928. Each was to remarry and redivorce again. Hallam Tennyson 1852-1928 eldest son of the poet laureate Alfred later 1st Baron 'had initially sought the governorship of South Australia but hesitated when it was offered to him in January 1899: Tennyson was influenced by speculation that after Federation the post might be subordinated to that of the governor-general or even abolished. He arrived in Adelaide in April and proved popular: the press and the people saw him as hardworking competent dignified and frugal. Appointed acting governor-general on 4 July 1902 after Lord Hopetoun's unexpected resignation Tennyson was confirmed in this position in January 1903 at his own request for one year only' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. unknown

1883ref. 27755Perth: Goverment Printer 1883. Robert Fairbairn the prominent 19th century Western Australian magistrate is the appointee to whom this "Minute" is aimed. He would soon be in charge of the Kimberley district and Wrenfordsley was at the time of this writing the Acting Governor of Western Australia. Unusually this is not recorded on either Trove or the State Library of Western Australia. The "minute" advises Mr. Fairbairn on his duties which will involve ".those of the Judge the Collector of Customs and the Registrar". and he advises "the Magistrate to take his own notes of the evidence and not to trust to his clerk." It is most interesting for the directions of caution in meting out punishment to the aboriginal community. "As the dispenser of justice to an uncivilised race it is all important that he should appear to act with judicial calmness and deliberation." Settlers were to be discouraged from taking the law into their own hands. And the statues prohibiting the supply of liquor to natives were to be strictly enforced so that "in the remote and . peaceful wilds of the Kimberley country the white man's curse will long remain unknown." An early reader has commented at the top "This is good" and has also highlighted various sections of interest. At the time of this writing Wrenfordsley was Acting Governor of Western Australia however he had a long career in law as solicitor Attorney General of Jamaica Chief Justice of Western Australia and Chief Justice of Fiji. Foolscap folio 3pp black text on cream paper. At the end of page printed H.T. Wrenfordsley Administrator. 13-3-83." A notation on verso in ink "Notes of Wrenfordsley on Justice duties." Top edge ruffled small puncture top right pin mark two period folds overall very good. Goverment Printer unknown
