The 'privilege' is 'doubly dear' to Chamberlain when he recalls 'the fact that more than twenty years ago the choice of the students of that day fell upon my father' who 'valued the honour which your predecessors conferred upon him'.

Calvert' at the Theatre-Royal Newcastle on the recto of the first page including a performance of Much Ado About Nothing with Calvert as Benedick and Miss Fanny Alexander as Beatrice. The letter is 42 lines long. She feels that 'with but one rehearsal' the 'Merchante's Storye will scarcely go' and suggests performing 'Nine Points The Household Fairy and Head of the Family' instead considering it 'a good bill' and 'lighter works for all the company'. Discusses requirements and ends by requesting that Miss Henry Davis book 'some lodgings as close to the Theatre as possible and also as moderate as possible'.

I am glad to find you can oblige my friend Mr Curzon although I am too late which I regret as I should have been able to oblige certain persons who have assisted me.'

193096455Finland September 29th 1930. 1930. Fine. - Over 20 words penned on Leonie Aminoff's personal 6-1/2 inch high by 5 inch wide stationery with her monogrammed initials under a crown embossed at the top. A brief note addressed to the young Seymour Halpern enclosing her autograph: "I have pleasure in enclosing you my Autograph". Signed "Leonie Aminoff". Folded for mailing. Near fine with an attached integral blank leaf. <p>The Finnish author Constance Leonie Caroline Aminoff 1870-1951 published works in both Swedish and English. The following are among her English language publications: "The Broad Walk" and several books in "The Torchlight series of Napoleonic Romances" including "Revolution" "Love" "Ambition" "Victory" "Triumph" "Arrogance" "Storm" and "Retreat" among others.<p>The Queens New York Republican Congressman Seymour Halpern 1913-1997 started his political career as a campaign aide to New York's powerful mayor Fiorella La Guardia and first served in New York's State Senate for 14 years before seeking a seat in the U.S. Congress. In Albany Halpern sponsored 279 bills that became law including measures on schools housing civil rights nutrition and mental health. A Liberal he was something of an anomaly as the lone Republican representative from New York City and generally garnered support from Labor Unions and endorsement from the Liberal Party. Yet he never even considered switching parties as he considered membership in the Republican Party a family tradition and commitment. While he found ample time for his private pursuits including painting and collecting autographs he took his legislative duties very seriously. Of these he was proudest of his co-sponsorship of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and of the original 1965 Medicare legislation. Finland, September 29th, 1930. unknown

Reports that they 'went to the Italian lakes this summer. We aimed at Venice but gave it up because of the cholera.' She regrets that the recipient's 'friends book & chart do not prosper. Mr Bowes the Macmillan of the shop thought the chart a good plan and likely to succeed except that the size would be against it'. She has been 'very busy at present being on the committee of a meat association which is being got up among a number of families in Cambridge. I had an affecting interview with my butcher one of the least dishonest in his prices but I could not persuade him that it would be for his good to come to smaller profits. We shall part good friends but we shall part.' Her husband and F. D. Maurice are that year's two new Final Science Examiners. Describes the nature of this 'cheap work'.
