rif. 235548 June 1764. Paper 24 x 14cm edges frayed not affecting text sl. grubby tipped on to sl. larger paper. Text secretarial: "Received June the 8th. 1764 the contents of the Within order not present Witness John Dupont". Signed "Bolingbroke". Note: ""Bully" as he was called by his contemporaries is best known for his extravagant lifestyle and the racehorses he bred. On 8 September 1757 he married Lady Diana Spencer4 elder daughter of Charles Spencer 3rd Duke of Marlborough after making a joking proposal to her in one of London's pleasure gardens. Bolingbroke's insistence on maintaining a bachelor's lifestyle which included lavish spending a string of mistresses heavy drinking and gambling after their marriage coupled with verbal and possibly physical spousal abuse led to a bitter separation between Bully and the popular and artistic Lady Diana. Bolingbroke brought divorce proceedings against his wife for her criminal conversation with Topham Beauclerk with whom she bore a child. The Bolingbroke divorce is notable for being streamlined compared to similar proceedings and thus is credited with easing the way for noble divorces in the 19th century." [8 June 1764] unknown
rif. 2401224 October 1845; Quidenham near Kenninghall Norfolk. An interesting item from a medical point of view with a well-informed patient describing and discussing his condition symptoms and treatment options. Three years after the writing of this letter the appropriately-named Boddy who is addressed here as ‘W. Barnard Boddy Esqr / 3. Saville Row. Walworth’ published ‘Diet and Cholera’ London 1848. 3pp 12mo. Bifolium. Fifty-five lines of closely-written text. The signature is large and shaky and the use of an amanuensis is understandable in the light of the content of the letter. In fair condition lightly aged with negligible traces of mount along one edge. Folded twice. Albemarle is applying to Boddy on the recommendation of ‘Captain Randall’ regarding ‘the malady which affects my sight’. The ‘communication’ made by Boddy to Randall on the subject is ‘very satisfactory except in one point in as much as there is no mention of successful treatment of Cataract without the usual Operation of Couching’. The ‘medical men’ he has consulted concur that ‘there is a Cataract nearly matured in my right Eye and an incipient one in my left and that the only remedy is the usual operation of Couching in due time’. This takes the letter to the end of the first three pages and Albemarle continues with his description of ‘the present state of my sight’ his symptoms and the options for treatment. He uses glasses ‘when in the open air prepared under the direction of Mr. Travers’. At the end of the second page he remarks: ‘I am in my 74th. Year and could I be sure that the failure of sight would not encrease sic I could cheerfully submit to the state I am in -’ He concludes: ‘Now the Question which I wish to put to you and I hope you will excuse me for doing it so decidedly is first - “Whether Cataract is a cureable malady or to be alleviated - and secondly - whether you can by any means remove or dispel or dissolve the Cataract or stop its probable progress so that the ultimate operation of Couching may not be necessary -’. 24 October 1845; Quidenham, near Kenninghall, Norfolk. unknown

rif. 16446'British Equestrian Team Yo-yogi Village' Tokyo Japan. 23 September to 14 October 1964. 38pp. 8vo. In fair condition lightly aged and worn. In 'Note Book Made of paper Specially prepared in Japan'. On front cover: 'J. GROSE British Equestrian Team Yo-yogi Village Olympic Diary'. Begins on 23 September with flight from London Airport via Bombay. In Hong Kong he dines with 'Algie Lady O'Connor' at Flagstaff House. In the Olympic Village at Yoyogi on 26 September he discusses problems 'in our hut 448' before inspecting 'the Equestrian Centre Baji-Koen'. The main topic is the quarantine exercising area in Karuizawa' which the British French and Australian teams deem 'most unsatisfactory'. Other topics include: 'the arrival of the French horse plane'; an agreement that 'Bob Armstrong should live at stables'; 'the Cocktail Party for the British athletes at the Embassy'; 'the draw for Dressage & Grand Prix Jumping' 'I was unlucky enough to draw us number 1'; training; the stable manager and his staff 'softened up' with a bottle of whisky; the acquisition of tickets and press passes; various meetings. On 28 September Grose has 'a confrontation with MR NOMURA Secretary of the JEF Japanese Equestrian Federation & their titular head with the following result: 'Eventually JEF promised to let us know by noon tomorrow whether Australian & British horses could quarantine here & for how many days It became clear that it was NOT shortage of boxes that bothered them so much as favouring us both at the expense of other nations. In fact they went back on what we thought were the undertakings made yesterday. However the Australians took a tough line promised to inform the Press etc & were seeing the President of the J.O.C. Japanese Olympic Committee this evening. Nomura said Mr Du Bois had passed the quarantine site: I said we had always reserved the right to decide when we got here & saw the relative facilities & had been told we could gallop in quarantine etc etc'. The disagreements are not settled and on 2 October Grose writes: 'Then got urgent message to see Sandy Sandy Duncan. The Australians had issued an extremely rude Press release copy filed about the quarantine & try areas at K. Also heard the French had complained officially.' He finds the opening ceremony 'a fine spectacle with a vast crowd & v. well organised' but adds that 'Most of us did not find it moving as the various contingents did not know whether to be serious or not. A few marched well including our women. Some were unconsciously funny others waved to their friends or waved flags etc. The latter chiefly oriental or non-curtain.' The final entry 14 October is short and ends mid-sentence. At the rear are three pages recording the sale and purchase of tickets with names of parties and amounts paid. The final page of the volume carries 'Accounts' from 25 September to 24 October beginning with '3 Bottles Whisky' to bribe the stable manager and ending with 'Soda Water'. Loosely inserted are two telegrams to Grose in Tokyo from 'Ansell' in London 6 and 21 October 1964; calling cards of Keiji Nomura and J. G. Hasegawa; four Japanese receipts; a pencil autograph draft of a telegram from Grose regarding a disqualification. A final item is a carbon copy of an autograph letter from Grose to 'Jane' dated from Yoyogi Village 4 October 1964 which he describes as a 'situation report for Col Ansell BHS & BSJA' and in which he describes how the team had 'three problems before arrival of horses' followed by 'tedious negotiations' and problems with 'the exercising facilities' which have 'caused quite a stir & you may have read about it in the British Press. They were hopeless. .' 'British Equestrian Team | Yo-yogi Village' [Tokyo, Japan]. 23 September to 14 October 1964. unknown
