In good condition lightly aged with a hole on a blank part of the paper at the foot of the first leaf. Neatly written and signed 'C. Cavour'.

réf. 24189Nash’s eight TLsS from between 4 July 1949 and 10 October 1951; all on letterheads of 2 Bristol Court West Marine Parade Brighton. Macqueen-Pope’s carbons from 1949 and 1951. ‘The Tragic Comedians’ undated. Nash made around 70 films between 1912 and 1927 and was a key figure in the creation of Elstree Studios. His career as a film maker was effectively ended following the screening of his 1921 film 'How Kitchener was betrayed'. See Bernard Ince ' “For the Love of the Art”: The Life and Work of Percy Nash Film Producer and Director of the Silent Era’ ‘Film History’ September 2007. See also Macqueen-Pope’s entry in the Oxford DNB. The collection of eleven items is in fair overall condition with minor creasing and aging to some items. Nash’s eight letters are all signed ‘Percy Nash’ and the first and longest has a long postscript in autograph. The eight total 9pp: four in 4to and five in 12mo. All are addressed to ‘My dear Popie’. The two men are clearly well acquainted - to one letter Nash adds the autograph note ‘Come & see us soon!!!’. The first letter contains personal information about the 1897 murder of the actor William Terris outside the Adelphi. ‘I was producing a Panto for Charles Denton at the time at the Parkhurst Theatre and I was short of a Chorister Denton phoned to say that he would have one for me the following morning. I called next day at Maiden Lane and he told me that he had a man but as he had a “Wall” eye he sent him away. It was Prince. Terris’s murderer E Dagnall Daggie was a member of the Adelphi Co at that time and he told me that Prince was a small part merchant who was spasmodically engaged there. He considered himself badly treated by the Management.’ He concludes in the same vein. Letter of 3 August 1950 begins: ‘I am under the impression that I am the last living “Acting” Not ‘Walk on’ member of Irvings Lyceum Theatre Company.’ After describing a visit to Irving’s centenary service at St Martin’s in the Fields he adds ‘I am sure that I am the only one left connected with his Stage Management. Lionel Belmore who was with me at the time migrated to America and I am informed passed on a year or two ago.’ On 9 November 1950 he writes intriguingly: ‘Re the G. B. Shaw incident you will be surprised at the undignified pranks that they got up to in the film at the behest of the little Scotchman.’ Letter of 14 December 1950 describes ‘a long queue waiting to book and a slip of a girl solo to do the work . I am often in touch with Emily Norton Freds sister and she says she is very hard up perhaps this revival will healp. Jack Gladwin called in on Tuesday and I showed him the great “Write up” of Chue in “Everybodys”.’ On 24 June 1951 he praises Popie’s new book ‘Ghosts and Greasepaint’: ‘Every word and picture takes me back through my whole life from the ‘Fly posting’ inside cover of Drink which we used to call “Lets av some more” to the index pages. I saw Warner first at the Princess in it and I signed the pledge. / My word! as I turn the pages over I see pictures of the “Gone befores” and I feel strangely lonely but when I pass over and it can’t be long now I shall tell them all what a Champion they left behind them to keep their memory green.’ The last letter 10 October 1951 concerns a radio broadcast featuring Popie: ‘What a glorious night you must have had last Sunday. I listened in to the first part and it all seemed to go so slick and the applause was never allowed to “peter” out. I was connected in one way or the other with The Nellie Farren H.I. and Ellen Terry similar shows and they were nothing like I.N’s.’ The carbons of two of Popie’s replies are both unsigned. Each 1p 4to. The first 5 July 1949 discusses of the Terris murder. The second is a response to Nash’s last letter. The final item is a typescript of reminiscences titled ‘The Tragic Comedians / Laughter and Tears.’ 2pp 4to. Whether this is by Popie or Nash or another party is unclear. There is one autograph emendation. Observations on George Formby ‘I have been present at a performance when the audience were screaming with merriment at him during his “Turn” and he was compelled to turn his back on them to conceal his terrible cough which eventually closed his career.’ George Bastow Melville Gideon Leslie Stuart and a final long passage on Dan Leno ‘The greatest tragedy of all was to my thinking that every Panto first night at the Lane Two boxes were reserved for the members of his TWO families. The Boxes were placed one over the other on the same side of the Theatre so that they never knew each other were there or even that they existed. This fact used to worry Sir Augustus Harris and after him Arthur Collins lest they should make the discovery but they never did what a time of anguish it must have been for Dan’.

He continues: ‘I got quite a thrill when I read that you appreciated the dance in front of the Act drop in the “merry wives” production at His Majestys. I suggested the idea during rehearsals but Tree didn’t catch on to it at the time but when the Curtain was lowered and raised a dozen times at the end he screamed “Do what you wanted to do”. Naturally a thing like that required rehearsing but I risked it and luckily it came off all right.’ Although ‘past the age for personal publicity to attract me’ he is enclosing ‘a list of my various adventures in the World of Entertainment’. He will be happy to allow MP to consult his ‘good amount of data such as Programmes Private letters from many Stars of the bygone Firmament etc.’ TWO: Signed Typed CV: 2pp: the first a full single-spaced A4 page the second last five lines of typed text and autograph name and address on cut-down top part of A4 page now 1p landscape 8vo.

1892réf. 35628Bournemouth: January 19th 1892. 1892. Very good. - Over 160 words penned on 4 sides of a folded sheet of creamy white paper the letter measuring 7-1/8 inches high by 4-1/2 inches wide. In his letter penned from the Mount Dore Hotel in Bournemouth England Sir Edward Bruce Hamley first expresses his appreciation for the kindness Mrs. Ford has shown his niece and for her having inquired concerning his health. He responds that "though my health is very well restored yet the disorder in my chest causing sometimes much shortness of breath still continues and disables me for active exertion." He goes on to relate that when he came to London to see Dr. Kidd over the Winter he was "much the worse for it". "I have faired till Easter and shall not till then attempt to stay for any time in town." Having previously thanked Mrs. Ford for the information regarding Mrs. Curzon Howe's Chambers" he is concerned that he might be advised to go out of town and "It would therefore be rash to take the responsibility of permanent chambers at present." Hamley goes on to say: "I hope that you and the Ambassador Mary Ford's step-son are pleased with his transfer - As you are fond of travelling . and when you get there you would be pleased indeed with the scenery of the Bosphorous - April is I should say the best month". He is glad to hear that Mrs. Mary Ford thinks well of his "niece's miniatures". Lacking for space Hamley returns to the margin of the first page to express his closing wishes vertically overlapping the opening sentences of his letter and signs himself "Edward Hamley". Folded for mailing with some very minor faint foxing. Glue stains along the edge of the last page and a thin strip of paper along the left edge of the first page slightly obscures Mrs. Ford's name which is penned vertically in the left margin. Apparently the letter was once tipped into an album. Very good. Sir Edward Bruce Hamley 1824-1893 served in the Crimean War. He was professor of military history at the Staff College Sandhurst from 1858 to 1877 and was Commandant of the College from 1870-1877. He was chief of the commission for the delimitation of the Balkan and Armenian frontiers 1879-80 and commanded a division in the Egyptian war of 1882. He was promoted to General in 1890. Hamley was Member of Parliament for Birkenhead from 1885 until his death in 1893. In addition to works on the Crimean War and his military manual "The Operations of War" Hamley was a short-story writer and poet a translator of French verse and the author of a novel "Lady Lee's Widowhood". The letter comes from the autograph collection of Mrs. Mary Ford widow of Richard Ford who wrote the popular "Handbook for Travellers in Spain". The autograph collection known as the Pencarrow Collection was formed from the 1850s onwards largely by Mary Ford in her long period of widowhood. Richard Ford's son and thus Mary Ford's step-son Sir Francis Clare Ford GCB GCMG PC 1828-1899 was an English diplomat. After serving as a Lieutenant in the 4th Light Dragoons he entered the diplomatic service first serving as Secretary of Legation in Washington D.C. He was appointed Secretary of Embassy at St. Petersburg and subsequently transferred to Vienna. He represented the British government before the Halifax Fisheries Commission and then went on to serve as Minister to the Argentine Republic to Uruguay and similar posts in Rio de Janeiro and Athens. He served as Ambassador to Spain and acted as British Commissioner in Paris to settle the Newfoundland fisheries question and at the time of this letter in 1892 was appointed to Constantinople and later to Rome. His service was highly regarded and he was rewarded with appointment to the Privy Council in 1888. Bournemouth: January 19th, 1892. unknown
1930réf. 34459Circa 1930. 1930. Good. - Original sepia-toned head-and shoulders portrait photo approximately 9-3/4 inches high by 7-3/4 inches wide. Inscribed in the margin below the image "-- With best wishes / Edward Alsworth Ross." There is some light creasing to the margins of the photo with a few tiny stains to the bottom margin. Good. Edward Alswoth Ross 1866-1951 was an American sociologist and eugenicist and a major figure in early criminology. Rather remarkably in his last twenty years he grew out of the disreputable views of his earlier life when he was a believer in eugenics and sterilization and opposed immigration to the point of suggesting that America would do better to turn its guns "upon every vessel bringing Japanese to our shores rather than to permit them to land". In the 1930s he was a supporter of Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal program and from 1940 to 1950 he served as chairman of the national committee of the American Civil Liberties Union. Circa [1930]. unknown

Signed "Yours sincerely / Edward Hamley". There is occasional very light foxing to the letterhead & 2 pieces of mounting tape adhere to the right margin of the 4th side where the letter has been removed from an album. Folded once for mailing. Very good. Manuscript leaf: small quarto 9 inches high by 7 inches wide. 83 words penned in black ink on one side of a sheet of cream watermarked paper. Folded 3 times with slight darkening down the top end of 1 vertical fold. 2 small pieces of tape adhere to the verso of the sheet where it has been removed from an album. Very good. The letter addressed to "My dear Mrs. Ford" expresses his regret that he missed her when he called on her. He congratulates her on becoming "the Mistress of Pencarrow" her family's estate and her childhood home. He goes on to complain about the House of Commons workload though "we are not quite such slaves as we were last year." The manuscript leaf is from Hamley's novel "Lady Lee's Widowhood" and is headed "Chap. II." The page which ends in mid-sentence describes the morning toiletries of two women characters. The first sentence of the extract reads: "Rosa constitutionally an early riser used to be always up before Orelia in the morning until the latter took it into her head to have a shower-bath fitted up in the closet that opened from their room." Sir Edward Bruce Hamley 1824-1893 served in the Crimean War. He was professor of military history at the Staff College Sandhurst from 1858 to 1877 and was Commandant of the College from 1870-1877. He was chief of the commission for the delimitation of the Balkan and Armenian frontiers 1879-80 and commanded a division in the Egyptian war of 1882. He was promoted to General in 1890. Hamley was Member of Parliament for Birkenhead from 1885 until his death in 1893. In addition to works on the Crimean War and his military manual "The Operations of War" Hamley was a short-story writer and poet a translator of French verse and the author of a novel "Lady Lee's Widowhood". He was a valued contributor to Blackwood's Magazine wherein the novel first appeared in 1853. It was subsequently published in two volumes by William Blackwood and Sons in 1854. Sadleir 1103; Wolff 2949. Both the letter and the manuscript come from the autograph collection of Mrs. Mary Ford widow of Richard Ford who wrote the popular "Handbook for Travellers in Spain". The autograph collection known as the Pencarrow Collection was formed from the 1850s onwards largely by Mary Ford in her long period of widowhood. [London, U.K.]: 22 June 1888. unknown
