The six are described below in chronological order. ONE: Typed Copy of letter 'sgd ROTHERMERE' to Donald. Hotel Splendide 105 Piccadilly W.1. 12 November 1929. 1p. 4to. The letter begins: 'My dear Donald I quite understand all the peculiar difficulties with which you are surrounded in connection with the Anglo-Foreign Newspapers Ltd. As you are a director and are going to be made chairman I wish to help you in every possible way.' He describes a share option he is willing to make and concludes: 'I am a large shareholder in Anglo-Foreign Newspapers Limited and this is in consideration of your remaining a director of the Company.' TWO: Typed Letter Signed from Ernest Outhwaite director of the Leeds Mercury and described by Richard Bourne as 'a director and factotum of Rothermere' to 'Sir Robert'.

For my own part I prefer those sections of your programme which deal with economy and freedom rather than this protective business whatever it may be called. I was evidently wrong.

He begins with the wish that Harmsworth has 'returned quite recovered' from his recent illness. 'I have had several talks with Sutton regarding the “Dispatchâ€. I am quite ready to begin the Causerie which we have discussed. I would not like it to be confined to politics. I am quite sure I can get exclusive political news when it is going but it is not always available. In any case a gossipy newsy Causerie should be more comprehensive. At the same time of course I would not deal with social or society matters.' Donald: on letterhead of 12 Thorney Court, Palace Gate, W.8. [ London ] 24 March 1932. Outhwaite: on letterhead of La Dragonnier unknown
24874No place or date but circa 1971. An interesting document on the South African situation at the beginning of the 1970s written in support of apartheid by a leading British journalist. See Coote’s entry in the Oxford DNB. From the papers of Philip Dosse who was proprietor of Hansom Books publisher of a stable of seven arts magazines including Books and Bookmen and Plays and Players. See ‘Death of a Bookman’ by the novelist Sally Emerson editor of ‘Books and Bookmen’ at the time of Dosse’s suicide in Standpoint magazine October 2018. There is no indication where if anywhere the present item was published. Coote explains the context at the very beginning: ‘Early last year I visited two samples of the controversial Republic of South Africa - the Cape Province which is the oldest region settled by Europeans and the Transkei which is the most advanced of the Bantustans. I had a suspicion that the growls and oaths with which the policy of apartheid is normally bombarded by critics from outside might not be wholly deserved. . My conclusions from examining this corner of the vast territory of South Africa were that nobody could really define an alternative to the principle of apartheid in the unique conditions prevailing in South Africa; . I was therefore glad to be able to check up during the first two months of 1971 these provisional conclusions. There were two main criteria. One was what were the conditions in other parts of the country - the Transvaal the Orange Free State Natal and South-West Africa. The other was the effect of a number of highly important happenings during the preceding year.’ A total of 19pp 4to in five sections: ONE: ‘South Africa Revisited’. Numbered in autograph ‘I’. 4pp 4to. TWO: ‘South Africa’s Economic Problems’. Numbered in autograph ‘II’. 4pp 4to. THREE: ‘III South Africa’s Economy’. 3pp 4to. FOUR: ‘II Nibbles at Apartheid’. 4pp 4to. FIVE: ‘White Man’s Burdens’. Numbered in autograph ‘III’. 4pp 4to. Each page on a separate leaf and the whole held together with paper clips together with a slip of paper with ‘Sir Colin Coote’ on it. There manuscript additions in the margins of the first two sections and minor emendations to them and the last section. On the reverse of the last leaf of all is the deleted autograph passage: ‘I wonder if the Archbishop ever peceived that there are two Commandments in the South African politics. The first is “Thou shald not sabotage European supremacyâ€. The second equally a Divine injunction is “Thou shalt not neglect non-Europeansâ€.’ In good condition lightly aged and worn with slight rusting from paperclips. No place or date, but circa 1971. unknown
24875Not dated but published in the London magazine ‘Books and Bookmen’ in 1974. See his entry in the Oxford DNB. From the papers of Philip Dosse who was proprietor of Hansom Books publisher of a stable of seven arts magazines including Books and Bookmen and Plays and Players. See ‘Death of a Bookman’ by the novelist Sally Emerson editor of ‘Books and Bookmen’ at the time of Dosse’s suicide in Standpoint magazine October 2018. Rees-Mogg’s book was published in 1974 and the present item appeared in ‘Books and Bookmen’ in the same year. A late draft neatly written out on 5pp small 4to with each page on separate leaf. Signed at end ‘Colin R. Coote’. Minor emendations to the first second and last pages. Begins: ‘This brilliantly sensible essay does something to redress my conviction that nothing good can come out of Printing House Square except by dismissal. The verdict was reached afterr over 20 year’s service with the former Thunderer when it became a ringleader in the foolish flimsy and almost lethal flummery called appeasement. But I now rejoice that God has answered Belloc’s prayer to be with Balliol men by clearly inspiring one of them - Mr Rees-Mogg.’ ‘What is the “Reigning Errorâ€â€™ Coote asks. ‘It is failure to realise that an imaginary test is the enemy of a practical good. There are two basic themes in this essay. The first is the behaviour of money; the second is the behaviour of men.’ At one point he writes: ‘The only advantage I have over Mr Rees-Mogg is that I have actually experienced rabid deflation here and rabid inflation in four separate countries.’ He concludes on the subject of ‘human behaviour’ ‘What is really distressing is not the venom of mindless militancy but its stupidity. You need only be able to read and to see in order to know that if strikes are substituted for honest sweat the end will be ghastly unemployment; that if Parliamentary Democracy is destroyed the alternative will be either tyranny or anarchy; that the real danger is not from known indignants but from “leaders†who say “I am their leader I must follow themâ€.’ Not dated, but published in the London magazine ‘Books and Bookmen’ in 1974. unknown
24748No date circa 1920 or place but circa 1920 On paper watermarked ‘The Club Note Thomas & Sons London’. The circumstances surrounding this extraordinary original composition in Latin verse are obscure. See Phillips’s entry in the Oxford DNB which notes that there was ‘an air of Proust’ about him and quotes Oliver Brown’s description of him as ‘a stout man immaculately dressed and heavily scented who talked continuously while he looked at the pictures'. It may be that Phillips and the author of the poem had been educated together or that they were members of the same club the Athenaeum for example. Whatever their relationship the author of the present work was clearly a capable classicist. Until the handwriting has been compared the suggestion cannot be dismissed that he might be the Professor of the Classical Association and Corpus Christi Professor of Latin at Oxford Albert Curtis Clark described in his own ODNB entry as a man who ‘could carry his learning lightly was the best of company full of humour and of wit and a perfect raconteur’. 2pp 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition lightly aged and creased. Central horizontal crease. Written in black ink. Poem and translation face one another with the Latin text beneath the heading ‘IN CLAUDIUM PHILIPPSIUM. EQUITEM.’ on the recto of the second leaf and the translation headed ‘IN LIBIDINOSUM.’ on the verso of the first. The Latin poem is twelve lines long in three four-line stanzas. It begins: ‘Cur stercoratae verba licentiae / Libidinosus semper in auribus / Emittis obscaenisque gaudes / Colloquiis .’. The English translation reads in its entirety: ‘Why dost thou lustful discharge ever in our / ears words of licence reeking of the dungheap: / why dost thou rejoice in obscene conversations O / Veteran Claudius / Old age presses on: thy last word inserted language planted with dirty last word inserted refuse / dishonours thy white hair: a forehead ploughed / with hardset wrinkles is out of keeping with / lascivious words. / Do thou at least case from foul gossip: last word an emendation of ‘talk’ let thy / bawdy stories be silenced remembering / thy industrious youth O Old Man worthy / of a better reputation.’ No date [circa 1920?] or place, but circa 1920? On paper watermarked ‘The Club Note | Thomas & Sons | London’. unknown
