réf. 2224423 November 1832; Nottingham. Despite the four years 1840-1844 Howitt spent in the colony with his brother the entomologist Godfrey Howitt 1800-1873 the present letter has nothing to do with Australia. The letter is addressed to the editors of 'The Aurora Borealis: A Literary Annual edited by Members of the Society of Friends'. This periodical was the work of a group of Quakers in Newcastle-upon-Tyne with George Atley Brumell 1800-1877 one of the founding editors. Another of those involved was Joseph Watson 1807-1874 named in the letter's address. Howitt as the present letter reveals was one of a number of prominent Quakers to contribute. Only one number of the periodical was published under the title 'The Aurora Borealis' in Newcastle and London in 1833; but the following year a second number appeared with the title 'The Friends' Annual; or Aurora Borealis for 1834'. No other numbers were published. The University of Illinois holds a collection of manuscripts relating to the magazine. 3pp 4to. Bifolium addressed with remains of seal in red wax on reverse of second leaf to 'Editors of the “Aurora Borealis” Care of Joseph Watson St. Nicholas' Church-yard Newcastle-Upon-Tyne.' Signed 'Richard Howitt.' In fair condition lightly aged and worn with closed tears to second leaf repaired with strips of paper. The recto of the first leaf is filled with the first six of the seven five-line stanzas of the poem with the page headed 'Esteemed Friends Editors of the “Aurora Borealis”'. The seventh stanza is on the reverse of the leaf at the head of the second page. Each of the seven stanzas of the poem ends with the refrain 'The Aurora Borealis'. The poem is unpublished and the first and last stanzas give an indication of its tone. The first reads: 'Now the days are dark and dreary Now the nights are long and weary Very welcome very cheery With the glory it doth trail – is The Aurora Borealis.' The last stanza reads: 'Blessings on ye for the blessing! Tome of many a heart's caressing - Past a homely bard's expressing Balm of many a bosom's bale – is The Aurora Borealis.' The letter itself begins without salutation after the last stanza at the head of the second page and Howitt himself concedes the mediocre nature of his poem: 'So far – not “so good” - but “so long.” To speak plain truth – setting aside poetry - “poets are such liars and take all colours like the hands of dyers” says Lord Byron yet in plain prose I have been much pleased with uyour little tome.' He comments approvingly on some of the volume's contributions before continuing: 'I must confess that when I first met with the title of the book in the Public Prints it struck me as flashy and unsubustantial – and I believe I expressed my feeling to be such – but the work itself has altered my opinion.' The volume has however left him with some 'dissapointment': 'I hoped to meet with an Essay from Thomas Knott and with a Poem of Montgomery's – if not with one from the pen of the great Lake Poet Wordsworth. And I have also vainly sought for something with Thomas Wilkinson's signature.' The editors have 'so many gems' that Howitt's own contributions to the volume 'shrink into comparative significance'. He does not blame them 'for making the last line of Eventide if more correct less vigorous. If I remember right it was “To feeling and to slinking hearts.” Many would prefer the line as it is printed but I would turn from the many to the few – and I have Wordsworth on my side of the question – He says – not “thinking minds” - but “To pipe a simple song for thinking hearts.” He ends with the gentle reproof: 'I perceive another or two verbal variations not of any consequence – but they would have been as well as they were.' He was also borther to William and Mary Howitt both writers. 23 November 1832; Nottingham. unknown

He thanks him for his 'very kind note' but regrets that 'owing to my being engaged on a lecturing tour for some time to come I am at present unable to fix a date to avail myself of your invitation'. He hopes to be able to do so when 'free from my appointments'. For information on de Rougemont' see B. G. Andrews's entry on him in the Dictionary of Australian Biography. Born in Switzerland at around the age of sixteen 'he became a footman to the actress Fanny Kemble touring extensively and learning fluent English. In 1870-74 he was a valet in London and in 1875 came to Australia as a butler with the new governor of Western Australia Sir William Robinson'. Back in London he was introduced to the Wide World Magazine by Sir J. Henniker Heaton and 'From August 1898 to May 1899 it serialized "The adventures of Louis de Rougemont" which focused fancifully on the astounding experiences he had had while allegedly spending thirty odd years as a castaway among the Aboriginals of North-West and Central Australia. The articles were republished as "The Adventures of Louis de Rougemont as Told by Himself" 1899; they were fluently and cleverly written but essentially the plausible concoction of a colonial Munchausen.' 13 Bloomsbury Street, London W.C. 19 April 1899. unknown

He says a little more on this present before continuing: 'Give my love & the good wishes of every member of my family to your father & mother & little brothers & assurances of our constant remembrance. I am too old to make or to wish to make new friends and I cling to the remembrance of the past. I wish I could tell your mother how constantly my thoughts & sympathies are with the dear family to which she belongs but I really hardly have heart to write to any one of them lately.'

After leaving Alice Springs in April 1873 they endured long periods of extreme heat with little water and survived only by killing the camels for meat. They reached the Oakover River with Warburton strapped to a camel. On 11 January 1874 they were brought to Charles Harper's de Grey station in northern Western Australia. They had conquered the formidable Great Sandy Desert to become the first to cross the continent from the centre to the west.

Good. - Approximately 300 words penned on 4 sides of a folded sheet of creamy white paper with each page measuring 8 inches high by 5 inches wide. "Richmond Park" is printed at the top of the cover page. Aldridge has altered the partially printed date from "1903" to "1913".

There is a tiny tear along the fold with some light brown stains or foxing to all four pages. Good. A RARE LETTER REPLETE WITH HORSE RACING ASSOCIATIONS. Aldridge writes to the Marchioness of Londonderry praising the horse he purchased from her and the Marquis of Londonderry. "You will be pleased to hear Pistol is keeping his name well before the public.I think Pistol will be 5th on the Winning.List in all Australia of course in this State 'South Australia' he is easily 1st.Londonderry by Pistol Antilles won the Broken Hill Cup a few days ago & the Chairman in presenting the cup to the winner referred to the fact that the horse got his name from his Breeder the Marchioness of Londonderry.Pistol is a most prolific father of winners & that is better than one good one & twenty duffers as some sires record. I believe there is only one sire in Australia which has produced more winners this year." He goes on to complain about the season as a whole mentions some "great loss" that she has had and he wishes the Marquis well and that "his illness worries will be settled ere long" Signed "J. H. Aldridge". James Henry "Jim" Aldridge 1849-1929 was a popular and highly respected Australian sportsman. he began his career as a hotelier in Adelaide. He managed the Globe Hotel in Rundle Street a hotel that was popular with sportsmen. He later took charge of the Grand Hotel Broken Hill and the Gresham Hotel. In 1890 with the intent of establishing a stud farm he purchased at a Sydney sale the Stallion Carlyon. Carlyon was to be the lord of the harem so to speak. In addition he purchased a richly bred brood of a half-dozen mares. Sometime between 1888 and 1890 Aldridge purchased Richmond Park in South Australia from its original owner John Chambers. With the Chester horse Carlyon and the stud established Aldridge rapidly became well-known as a breeder. Carlyon and the thoroughbreds he sired at the Richmond Park stud farm made Aldridge's name famous throughout Australian racing circles. Although still able to perform as a stud Carlyon was badly injured in 1905. As it happened however in 1904 Aldridge had purchased Pistol the son of the famous English sire Carbine. Pistol was foaled in 1899 and arrived in South Australia as a five year old. He was purchased from the Marquis of Londonderry for the large sum of 1250 pounds. As a stud Pistol performed into his 26th year and sired winners of more than 641 races out of 1423 competitions. Up until Aldredge's death in 1829 the Pistol progeny had won approximately 200000 pounds in stake money. In atribute after his death the Chairman of the S.A.J.C. South Australian Jockey Club Whitmore Blake Carr "Doc Carr" wrote: "For years Mr. Aldridge has been one of the best widely known and most popular identities of the turf in South Australia and one to whom the sport owed much of its maintenance and stability. When he ran horses he did so for the pure love of the sport and the applause which always attended the success of his colours was a fine tribute by the racing public to the popularity of the owner. He was an exceptionally fine judge of a horse. The gratifying results which have been achieved at Richmond Park making it stand today so high in the list of studs in the Commonwealth was due to his sound judgment and ripe experience."
