NINE: Typed note: 'Mr. Herman Finck is of the opinion that there is something very illogical in the demand for a tax on his income from a Government which by rendering through noise his house useless for a composer to work in makes the earning of that income impossible.'

ref. 20162Menu from Pagani's Restaurant London. Dated by Mackenzie 4 November 1909. Attractive menu printed in black and gold on card bifolium folding into two 8 x 17 cm. panels partly detached. In fair condition lightly aged and worn. Calligraphic design with 'Pagani's' printed in gilt on the cover and the menu itself on the recto of the second leaf facing some calligraphic flourishes on the verso of the first leaf. The two inscriptions are both in pencil mainly on the recto of the second leaf but with the second extending somewhat onto the facing page. The upper of the two signed by 'A. C. Mackenzie' is dated 4 November 1909 and carries a bar of music 'Benedictus' and the inscription: 'Long life and happiness to H. Finck.' The second signed 'J. Mackenzie Rogan' also has a bar of music with the inscription 'Many happy returns'.

He appends four numbered 'Biographical Facts' including 'I went to a Protestant School and was baptized at St. John's Church Waterloo Bridge Road not far from the Old Vic' and 'My mother was born in Hereford. I have never heard of a Hereford Jewess.' The letter now takes an antisemitc turn with Finck suggesting that it was 'my nose that has deceived you all this time! But Jimmy Glover has a nose three times the size of mine. Must he be a Jew And after all Arthur Collins is only half a mo!' He does not ask for a disclaimer but to be flung 'back among the Christians' adding 'Seriously I wish I were a Jew. I would by now be a rich man.' He ends by suggesting that Newton get 'Bernard Marks to translate this back into my supposed tongue'. In a postscript he tells a story 'apropos St John's Church' his father and violin lessons.
