The first cutting records the donation of £20 by 'Fredk. Gorring Buckingham Palace-road' and of £16 1s 0d by 'Employés of Fredk. Gorringe'; the second cutting reproduces a letter from Gorringe reading: 'TO THE EDITOR OF "THE DAILY TELEGRAPH." SIR - I have pleasure in sending a cheque for £20 towards the fund being raised for the assistants who are sufferers by the Edgware-road fire; also one for £16 1s from my employés. - Yours faithfully FREDK. GORRINGE. Buckingham Palace-road June 5.' The fire had occurred on 30 May 1888 with The Times devoting the following day's editorial to it beginning: 'London has been visited by many greater and more destructive fires but by few more tragic and pathetic in their circumstances than that which occurred in the Edgware-road shortly after six o'clock yesterday morning. The large drapery establishment of Messrs. GARROULD occupying the angle formed by the Edgware-road and Queen-street was suddenly attacked by fire and five of the young assistants who slept in the upper floors were burnt to death or suffocated while five more were seriously scorched or injured by jumping from the windows.' The Times drew parallels with another fire eight months before at the Exeter Theatre and concluded that it had 'once more taught Londoners the lesson that they cannot have efficient protection from fire without paying for it'.

15277On letterhead of 15 Woburn Square W.C. London 15 October 1895. 2pp. 8vo. In good condition on lightly aged and worn paper. The letter has been marked up in manuscript for publication with the heading: 'Mr. Clement Scott: A Contradiction.' last two words amended from 'An Explanation' The letter begins: 'My Solicitors who advised me that the paragraph in your last issue connecting my name directly with a slanderous rumour to the effect that a well know dramatic critic had been bribed by a theatrical manager has handed me your letter of <> date. In it you say "I am <> willing to insert any contradiction of the rumours referred to which Mr Clement Scott may wish to address to me.' Scott continues: 'My answer is that the rumour is base unjustified and absolutely false. I should have thought my service of 35 years in a public position would have saved me from such unwarrantable slander but it seems to me that devotion to the drama in these days only increases the spite of the envious hangers on to its skirts'. He offers a reward for assistance in discovering the 'originator of this slander' and 'very formidable and disgraceful conspiracy'. In the final paragraph he criticises Austin Fryer for not having 'the pluck or moral courage' to retract after inadvertently 'uttering the libel'. On letterhead of 15 Woburn Square, W.C.

We talked for a few minutes at cross purposes my thoughts running on his journalistic prospects and projects while he was thinking and speaking about his election at the Savage Club. . you may guess how we looked at each other without saying any more till a light burst on our minds and countenances and we twigged'. 'I used bad language that Sunday evening when I came home and found how many friends had been and gone.' LETTER TWO three pages octavo with small closed tear at crease not affecting text: 5 September 1885 on embossed letterhead of the Daily Telegraph. 'You are a Queen Annish kind of a chap.' Asks Draper's help regarding a reference Turner has made to an epigram on 'Bird's Statue of "Anna made great by conquering Marlboro'". It was something about her turning her back upon the church and her face towards a boozing-ken. Time was when I could have quoted the lines and given the authority pat enough. Now alas memory holds but an uneasy seal in this distracted nob. .'. Draper has docketed 'Brandy Nan Brandy Nan left in the lurch Her face to the gin-shop her back to the Church.' LETTER THREE one page 12mo: 2 February 1887. 'There seems to be a disposition in a rather high quarter the British Museum if I may say so in confidence to question the hands of Blake and Flaxman in the West sheets.'

LETTER FIVE three pages 12mo: 28 January no year on letterhead of The Fielding King Street Covent Garden. They passed 'with a flash of salutation' half an hour and he thinks he might have joined him in a 'quaart o' yeal' quart of ale especially as he wished to thank him for his portrait of "Obi" Smith 'the more precious for being in its twopenny state - coloured'. 'This is not "wrote sarcastical." I have a great respect for your Hogarthian humour as expressed in strong water-colours - real chromatic eau-de-vie.' Decided not to send on a letter: 'I bethought me of the myrmidons through whose hands it would have to pass . some of them might be fathers of families with scrap-books in their midst. So I would not cast temptation in their way.' Would like to 'meet and drink oftener than we do'. Refers to the 'inane swelldom' and 'the clever members who keep up the tradition against which I have done battle even with you that cleverness alone is club-able and that swelldom is aggressively inane'.
