Frank Pettingell [ Frank Edmund George Pettingell ] (1891-1966), English film actor [ Barry Duncan, theatrical bookseller ]:Biblio.com

Frank Pettingell English film actor. Four Autograph Letters Signed one unsigned Autograph Note and nine Christmas Cards to theatrical bookseller Barry Duncan with carbon copies of three of Duncan's letters.

17994Two from Highfield Lodge Wise Lane NW7 London and two from Broadstairs Kent. Dated items from between 1946 and 1954. The collection of seventeen items in fair condition with light signs of age and wear. Two of the letters are signed 'Frank Pettingell' the others signed 'Frank P.' and 'Frank'. Two of the letters are in their original envelopes. They total 5pp. 12mo. On 22 August 1947 he writes regarding his collection of playscripts mostly acquired from the son of the comedian Arthur Williams and now at the Templeman Library University of Kent: 'We are on holiday here in Broadstairs since "Fifty-Fifty" finished . When I get back next month I would like to sort the old M.S. 26 feet high of which we spoke so if you are still desirous of assembling the plays to match your assignment book from Arthur Williams I will be glad to help'. The letter of 13 August 1954 finds Pettingell doing a some book business himself: 'I am expecting to return soon to do a television show . I must very certainly pull my "Eras" - Sketches - and other items out for disposal - and have to make out a list of items to get out and submit eventually to Alec Clunes !! and another prospective purchaser.' He asks for the return of 'the 4 vols of "Era" I loaned you' as it is 'essential I should have these to include in the run I possess. I am charging 2 : 10 : 0 per volume for these and 5/- to 7/6 for the Sketch. This I fear will be too dear for you to contemplate purchasing - please forgive the remark - . I will be busy with the television play at rehearsals and studying until transmission so will not be able to sort things until I'm through with this.' An undated letter and the unsigned note both concern Duncan's gift of a necklace with the note asking Duncan to bring it 'to stage door'. The nine undated Christmas cards are variously signed 'Frank' 'Frank and Family' 'The Pettingells' and 'Frank Ethel and the Family'. The carbon copies of Duncan's three letters to Pettingell each 1p. 4to date from between 1945 and 1954. The first discusses Gladys Colthorp as well as 'the Arthur Williams scripts': 'I do hope that when you have time to look them and any of the other items over that you will decide you can spare some of them if not all for me to purchase. For that matter if for sentimental reasons you really want to keep some of the scripts which you very well might I could tempt you in the matter with the offer of the Assignments of the ones you would like to keep couldn't I' And replying to Pettingell's letter of 13 August 1954: 'Twenty-six feet high eh What a job you're going to have with the MSS. I'd love to be able to do something in the matter of them and the assignment book .'. Previously on 4 August 1954 he writes regarding a legal action against Clunes: 'I had so much trouble on top of me just at the time that I lost that case that Clunes brought against me - the man I got to take the shop over instead turned out to be a dreadful person too and I can't get rid of him! . C. at the moment is threatening to put the bailiffs in or make me bankrupt! for the £50 and costs of £39 my own were £27 or so. Did you hear that he was in Minorca or somewhere like that before the case and he flew here and back for it at a cost of over £70 to try to get £50! If I had emphhasized that "feeding the cats" was automatically included in "looking after them" the Judge would have decided in my favour! .' Two from Highfield Lodge, Wise Lane, NW7 [ London ], and two from Broadstairs, Kent. Dated items from between 1946 and 1954. unknown

Herbert Palmer [Herbert Edward Palmer] (1880-1961), English poet and critic [Rev Harry Escott (1905-1987), MA, Congregational MiBiblio.com

Nine Autograph Letters Signed from the poet Herbert Palmer to Rev. Harry Escott of Rhynie Aberdeenshire editing a book of Escott's poetry discussing Christian verse and attacking T. S. Eliot the Faber poets and modernism.

11954All from 22 Batchwood View St Albans Hertfordshire. One from 1938 two from 1942 one from 1943 and the rest undated. Totalling 36pp. 4to. In fair condition bound by Escott with brown paper into paper wraps with the front wrap signed by Escott and bearing the typed label 'LETTERS from HERBERT PALMER on "Minstrels of Christ" and my second book of verse "Soar for Victory" amended in February 1948 to "Back to the Fountain."' An interesting correspondence casting light on the workings of the mid-twentieth century publishing industry from the point of view of a successful traditional poet strongly opposed to modernism. Four of the earlier letters concern Escott's anthology 'Minstrels of Christ' published by the Epworth Press in 1941 with Palmer discussing the copyright of his poems mostly divided between Dent and Benn and offering 'two poems over which I have entire control'. He gives his opinion that a 'carefully compiled anthology sells anything from 2000 to 20000 copies and as I know of no Post-Victorian anthology of Religious Verse you might sell considerably more than 20000.' He adds: 'Poets like myself who have no other means of livelihood save literature are naturally chary about giving poems much as they desire to do and their publishers are generally rather tiresome.' He has gives a long list of poets he has marked down 'as "religious" in a greater or lesser degree' while compiling a 'history of Post Victorian Poetry for Dent'. On 21 March 1942 he accuses Escott of having 'so curiously let me down' over the use of his poems in the anthology which Palmer was handed by Mary Winter Were while 'reading from my little book "The Gallows-Cross" to the Poetry Society': 'I did not want them re-printed in anybook exactly as they stood . I had written some new poems which were rather more suitable'. He claims to have been 'slighted and snubbed and boycotted' because of his writing of 'religious and Christian verse . and not only because I have opposed Eliot in satire and parody - whom I do not believe in as a Christian poet and whom I regard as a dessicatory and disintegrating influence especially in the Technique of Poetry . I have no income beyond the £100 Civil List Pension I get for "distinction as a poet" whatever that may mean and my reviewing and meagre literary journalism brings me in very little as owing to my increased age I do things very slowly nowadays. As a leading poet said to me a few months ago "It is strange that so lean and bitter a trade as poetry should attract hypocrites but it does" - and that has been my chief cross as poet and critic for over 20 years. My wife of course has been the chief sufferer and at present seems to be doing most of the work - school teaching for which her age is now unfitting her.' A letter to which Escott replied on 7 April 1942 discusses religious matters in general beginning: 'What are you Are you a Methodist Minister or Church of England Parson My father was a Wesleyan Methodist Minister and my brother who lives at Leeds is a Wesleyan Methodist Minister.' On being asked to look over Escott's book of verse Palmer responds as follows: 'I have during the last 3 months been battered to death by poet's sic MSS books etc and I have not had time to do more than glance through your book. And I now have to review books for a livelihood. If you like to pay me a fee of two guineas I will go through your book in detail and report on it three guineas however it it takes me too long It is impossible conisdering my circumstances to do otherwise.' Three of the letters discuss Escott's book in detail over seventeen pages. He writes a preface for the volume and advises Escott on which magazines to send poems to 'Now I must charge you a Guinea fee but I think you ought to get it back - out of one of the periodicals I have mentioned.'. In the seventh letter in the folder Palmer tells Escott that he is 'a newcomer always with a first book of verse even when you have been publishing for years in periodicals'. In editing Escott's work Palmer summarises his own approach: 'I think that inspiration detached form art is the poet's greatest enemy. I know this personally to my cost You ought to get all the poems right with a little application. Poetry is largely a physical thing - it is only 50 per cent content. A little inspiration and a lot of art goes further than a lot of inspiration and a little art. Keats I know would tell you this and certainly Tennyson and the aesthetic singers of the Yellow nineties would agree with me. Very few poems are got right in the week in which they were written and scarcely any of the famous ones.' Elsewhere Palmer renews his attack on modernism: 'A great deal of modern poetry is no more poetry than a jelly-fish is a fish or the first green corn is a harvest. And this is not merely because the verse has been insufficiently revised but equally often because in the first moments of creation the poet if you can always call him that has experienced no sense of exaltation or spiritual or aesthetic excitement'. In the last letter dated 9 November 1943 he writes that he is 'carrying the War into the Enemy's Country. Not only am I publishing a selection of my verse in Faber's Seasame Series but I am trying to get them to publish my new volume of Verse part of which is a downright straight forward attack on Faber's own poets. But Geoffrey Faber the head of the firm is a very fine traditional poet and does not appear to really approve of much that he has published and I believe wants a re-statement of the other side of the matter. Most of these publishers have been forced into publishing modernist Verse. It had to be either that or threadbare conventional verse or nothing at all. All the same I feel like David in the land of the Philistines and Edward Thompson goes even further and writes to me "You are David in the land of the Philistines" - a strange reincarnation.' He does concede that he has 'discovered a very fine religious poet among the young men. Who could you imagine it is Well it is actually David Gascoyne the one-time upholder of Surrealism. Things are now changing in spite of Geoffrey Faber's gloomy prophecy.' All from 22 Batchwood View, St Albans, Hertfordshire. One from 1938, two from 1942, one from 1943, and the rest undated. paperback

One of the other items dated 18 April 1841 from 103 Westbourne Terrace London. Another from Midhurst 20 June 1856. See his entry in the Oxford DNB. ONE: Autograph draft of conclusion of description of his meeting with Mehmet Ali ‘Mehemet Ali’. The ODNB states that in July 1836 Cobden produced a pamphlet ‘which analysed the Russo-Turkish dispute . attempting to play down the Turcophilia that was rife in Britain in the 1830s. In October Cobden embarked on a long tour sailing via Lisbon Gibraltar and Malta to the eastern end of the Mediterranean as far as Constantinople meeting Mehmet Ali in Egypt before returning via Greece in April 1837.’ The present text is the conclusion of the draft manuscript of the account he gave of that meeting and had published in Tait’s Edinburgh Magazine in November 1838. 1p foolscap 8vo.

S His work in Turkey’. The text reads with deleted passage in square brackets: ‘Often in recurring to my interview with this extraordinary man - the spring-like elasticity of whose mind evinces its power in proportion as it is pressed - and recollecting the eagerness of his enquiries upon practical subjects - as well as the vehemence of manner with which he sustained his opinions - evincing the spring-like elasticity of mind which manifests its power in proportion as it is pressed - I think with pleasure of the refreshing & animating scene not unmixed with regret that I shall probably never again have the opportunity of chatting with old Mehemet Ali’. TWO: Slip of paper cut from the beginning of a letter in the third person with reverse blank. In fair condition lightly aged. Reads: ‘Mr Cobden presents his compliments to Mr Cornwall Lewis & begs to forward for presentation to the Lords of the Treasury a memorial’.

Roy Fuller poet. Three Typed Letters Signed and two Autograph Letters Signed the first 'Roy Fisher' and the other four 'Roy' to the literary scholar Miriam Allott regarding an edition of the collected poems of her late husband Kenneth Allott.

15396All five on his letterhead 37 Langton Way London SE3 7TJ. 26 May 12 and 17 July and 10 and 20 August 1973. Each letter 1p. 8vo. In very good condition lightly aged and worn. The first two letters in autograph the other three typed. ONE 26 May 1973: He condoles with her on her husband's death. 'I always greatly admired his poetry & then his work as a critic. I've just been writing down hisname in the index of my second book of Oxford lectures where I refer briefly to both these activities of his. It is a sad loss particularly to those of us who admire creative & sensitive scholarship so rare & so much needed now. He & I never met - you remember how we were thwarted when I came to Liverpool three or four years ago. That will be a constant matter of regret to me.' TWO 12 July 1973: He 'would be honoured to write a foreword to the poems' and offers his help if 'the Liverpool. University. Press. baulk at doing the book': 'There is always the possibility of an Arts Council grant to a publisher'. He hopes she will be 'able to make another book or books even of a miscellaneous kind. The question of fulfilment or non-fulfilment of talent is not straightforward. Sometimes the talent is fulfilled unbeknown to itself particularly with those who refuse to exaggerate their gifts. J. R. Ackerley is a good example. Everything I saw of Kenneth's was individual & true. There is no rubbish - as there is with most of us! - to drop away out of an inflated picture.' THREE 17 July 1973: He urges her to produce an edition of her husband's complete poems and suggests individuals to approach Charles Monteith 'T. G. Rosenthal of Secker & Warburg' 'lordly Fabers' and Carcanet Press 'doing some excellent things'. FOUR 10 August 1973: 'Anthony Thwaite who advises Secker & Warburg on their poetry list is interested in Kenneth's collected poems. . No thanks are due to me! Thwaite asked for a poem for Enounter's 20th anniversary number and I sent him the only suitable one I had - one written recently which I've dedicated to Kenneth's memory.' FIVE 20 August 1973: He has heard from Thwaite who 'wants to see the complete MS but I think one can say firmly that he will recommend to Secker that they do a Collected Poems. . One can never be absolutely sure about the destiny of a book of poems but I am quite hopeful'. The letter concludes: 'Can't imagine why I mentioned Faber in previous letters. I should have said Hogarth.' Secker & Warburg did indeed publish Kenneth Allott's 'Collected Poems' with a 'Foreword' by Fisher in 1975. All five on his letterhead, 37 Langton Way, London SE3 7TJ. 26 May, 12 and 17 July, and 10 and 20 August 1973. unknown

Work done by this system is always cleaned off the stones as soon as finished so that the entire number of copies is likely to be required are always ordered at once. This makes it so much cheaper than engraving. Proofs also cannot be given but accuracy is insured by my having a correct copy & thoroughly examining the work before printing a single copy. If your copy is correct you need have no fear.' Discusses details of legal deposit and asks to be informed on some matters relating to the song. 'What will you do . You may depend on the work being thoroughly well done.' ITEM SEVEN two pages: Wood to Robinson 30 October 1873. 'I always enquire whether copies sent me are correct because proofs not being given it is not at all likely I can take responsibility of mistakes in copies sent me. When I have a good copy to work from parties need not fear for my work because I take good care to do it right. But as you seem rather fearful of the result I have taken the trouble to copy the whole out and send it herewith for your approval. NOT PRESENT Please see if it is correct & the music arranged as you desire to the two verses and if you return it at once I shall at once proceed. You will thus see that I have done all that can be expected to insure correctness & if I can turn out 70 pages of Band music with only the omission of one crescendo - and no mistakes surely 2 pages may be done properly.' ITEM EIGHT two pages: Wood to Robinson 10 November 1873. Sends receipt for his work of £1. 8. 6 and undertakes to forward a receipt from Stationers' Hall for five shillings.

'Respecting terms of course it ought to be One Guinea ask about it and try hard for it but if any demur is made do not object as something was mentioned to me a short time since about obliging a friend for such a ceremony but I gave no decided answer; of course I being away alters the case . but take what is offered and I will arrange with you afterwards'. ITEM ELEVEN two pages: Distin of 96 Penrose Street Sutherland Square S.E. to Robinson 2 January 1877.

Jones 'per RG.' 27 Doynton Street Highgate New Town N.W. to Robinson 22 June 1878.

Shortly after this he became a Roman Catholic was ordained a priest and joined the order of the Jesuits Society of Jesus and served as a member of the order in India Rome and in Syria where he acquired a colloquial command of Arabic. He convinced his superiors to support a mission to the interior of Arabia which at that time was terra incognita to the rest of the world. He also gained the support of the French emperor Napoleon III representing to him that better knowledge of Arabia would benefit French imperialistic schemes in Africa and the Middle East. Palgrave then returned to Syria where he assumed the identity of a travelling Syrian physician. Stocking his bags with medicines and small trade goods and accompanied by one servant he set off for Najd in north-central Arabia. He travelled as a Christian. The service he would do for the Society of Jesus and the French empire would be as a spy not a missionary. Palgrave became friendly with Faisal bin Turki bin Abdullah Al Saud while in Riyadh Saudi Arabia. Faisal's son Abdul Rahman bin Faisal asked Palgrave to get him strychnine. Palgrave believed that Abdul wanted to poison his father. Palgrave was accused of espionage and was almost executed for his Christian beliefs. Manuscript ALS., [ca. 1875] unknown
