24781One of Scott's cards dated by him to 1902 the other with postmark of Ingatestone Essex dated 1904; his wife's dated 1906. Place not stated. See his entry in the Oxford DNB. The postcards are bromide prints and 9 x 14 cm. The two identical images of Scott dressed for the theatre with curled moustache and flower in his buttonhole are both inscribed. In the bottom margin of one he has written ‘late of the D. T.’; in the same position on the other and rather poignantly considering his later history ‘Remember me / Clement Scott / 1902’. The former card is addressed by Scott on the reverse with Ingatestone postmark dated 27 February 1904 to ‘Mr S. Le Sage / Maisonette / Ingatestone / Essex’. In her photograph Mrs Scott is also dressed for the theatre with fur wrap and muff. At top left she has written ‘May-Day / 1906’ and beneath the portrait: ‘Affectionate greetings from / yours Margaret sic Clement Scott’. The card dated by Scott to 1902 has a central horizontal crease; the other two cards are in good condition lightly aged and worn. See image. One of Scott's cards dated by him to 1902, the other with postmark of Ingatestone, Essex, dated 1904; his wife's dated 1906. Pla unknown
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. [London] 15 October 1895. unknown
25858'Sunday' no date or place. See his entry in the Oxford DNB. 2pp 12mo. Bifolium. Twenty-two lines of text. In good condition lightly discoloured and worn. Folded for postatge. The addressee’s name is unclear. Signed ‘Clement Scott’. Begins ‘If the article on the Gaiety has to be cut - they are cut sometimes on Sundays - please ask them as a special favour not to cut the remarks about the wonderful song “The Bogie man.†I know it is wrong to prophesy but this song will bring fortune to the Burlesque and no one has touched on it as yet.’ He could ‘do “La Cycleâ€â€™ but does not want ‘to interfere with these comic operas unless B permits it’. He continues: ‘You will see from my Gaiety article that I am not ignorant of the effect of music on the profanum vulgus but of course I have no executive power’.

21046Whin Cottage Beechy Leees Otford near Sevenoaks Kent. On cancelled letterhead of the Daily Mail London. 23 January 1941. See Knox's obituary Times 4 May 1977 which refers to 'some passages at arms' he had at the BBC with Sir John Reith. 3pp. 4to. In good condition lightly aged with minor staining from paperclip. An interesting glimpse into the world of Fleet Street 'big salaries' during the war period. He begins: 'My dear Collin Brooks A letter such as yours from a man such as yourself for whom I have so strong a personal and professional regard comes as a gleam of blue in a darkish sky.' He proceeds to bemoan his sacking by the Daily Mail: 'Yes it is a bad business. Six months ago having had two cracking offers I asked the Mail people if they were not renewing my contract would they tell me. … Then ten days ago Prew the Editor who is but a mouthpiece for Stanley Bell sent for me and said just this “Papers are so small. Your work needs Space. You are still our star writer but as your salary is so big we tell you we cannot renew your contractâ€. Not a word of thanks of appreciation of my work no regret . . . just given three weeks notice like a housemaid. It is odd for me to recall that I was told officially a year or so ago that my work had put about 200000 on the circulation! Well there it is. It is not pleasant having £4000 a year swept away from under one in the middle of a war . . And yet I have a strange feeling of freedom of relief from serving people who are utterly inhuman ungrateful and who seem to me in their outlook and action to typify all we are fighting Against'. He discusses his agent 'Mr A S Watt' and the 'old offers from Beaverbrook and Kemsley' which 'do not hold good now . . small papers etc'. 'It is some consolation that the Street and the Mail staff appear to think that R i.e. Rothermere and Bell have gone mad. He asks if Brooks knows 'Brown of the Amalgamated Press or could say a word to Beaverbrook or Kemsley . . or even Robertson of the Express group'. He concludes: 'But big salaries are over I know . . for the war. But I would be glad of a job in which I could do my damnest sic for people who would treat me properly.' The autograph postscript concerns his forthcoming 'War book called “Heroes All†Hodder & Stoughton' regarding which 'the Ministry of Information are keen … specially for America'. After the war Knox returned to the Daily Mail and remained there until 1955. Such was Knox's celebrithy that his name according to Patridge was used as rhyming slang for 'pox'. Whin Cottage, Beechy Leees, Otford, near Sevenoaks, Kent. (On cancelled letterhead of the Daily Mail, London.) 23 January 1941. unknown
