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

193593538Daily Herald. London. 1935. Colour bird's eye view of East Africa stretching out to the Mediterranean and Europe beyond. The map is foxed and also worn along creases and was made by S.J. Turner and published for the Daily Herald in London. The map shows the political divisions in the Horn of Africa during Italy's conquest of the region. Anglo-Egyptian Sudan Kenya Colony and British Somaliland are all still held by the U.K. Italian Somaliland Libya and Eritrea are held by the Italians but Abyssinia is still an independent country. The map uses an interesting grid-scale to represent distance with each edge of a square representing roughly 200 miles.This map covers Abyssinia Ethiopia just before it became Italian East Africa.Italian East Africa was an Italian colony established in 1936 consolidating preexisting Italian territories in East Africa with the newly-conquered Empire of Ethiopia. As is shown on the map the Italians quickly assumed the imperial trappings of the Empire of Ethiopia; here Vittorio Emanuele III is called "King of Italy and Emperor of Ethiopia" and Pietro Badoglio is "Duke of Addis Abeba". These titles were not recognized outside of Italy Nazi Germany and Japan. The map illustrates the subsidiary divisions of the colony: Somalia Arrar Galla-Sidamo Addis-Abeba Amhara and Eritrea.The colony would be expanded in 1940 with the conquest of French Somalia and British Somalia. In 1942 British and South African forces had captured most of the colony though an Italian guerrilla campaign continued into the next year. unknown
