'I find I shall be obliged to make an attendance at S. Olaves at the end of the present quarter There appears to be a feeling which we cannot quite overcome - . I write therefore to tell you that I shall be obliged to terminate your engagement at the expiration of your next month . I am sorry I have been unable to offer you a better position .'. ITEM FIVE one page: Letter of Robinson 'W. W. Robinson Jnr.' 64 Murray Street New North Road Hoxton to firm of music publishers asking whether you may 'use the words of one of your songs entitled "Gently down the Stream" for new music seeing no Writers name to sic the words. . I am anxious to get it Published'. Undated reply from individual with indecipherable signature one page on reverse stating 'If you have any desire to be implicated in a suit at law by all means make use of the words of the song published by Messrs Hopwood & Crew they have nothing to do with us'. ITEM SIX two pages: Letter to Robinson from 'F. C. WOOD Lithographical Music Copyist 32 VINCENT SQUARE WESTMINSTER S.W.' 27 October 1873 on Wood's letterhead giving an estimate 'for 2 pages of music & title'. 'My former estimate was for 12 stave pages & I see by putting the song on 1 page 15 staves will be required . 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. 'I am glad you are satisfied with the work as in fact I was sure you would be. But I am sorry to say theh work is cleaned off the stones. It is always so to make way for other work.'

After ceremony whilst they are in Vestry similar music leading into Wedding March.' Gives further instructions and asks Robinson to discuss with the verger. '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. He is pleased Robinson has 'succeeded in gaining the appointment' and hopes 'it may be only the beginning of a successful Career for you. & if my word has been the means of helping you towards it I am very pleased.'

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

Also my old publicity “guvoner†sic H. C. G Inky Stevens has an article on “Show folk†which I enjoyed - as you may imagine. Of course I could not refrain from a little longing when I thought of Gaiety “Havana†& “Show folkâ€! Ah me.’ He has sent him a photograph of the Lowther Arcade as he ‘thought the sight of the dear old place might have revived a few delightful memories’. ‘I was much amused about your story of Alphours & Tauber & I hope that when you refer to my book for anything you want you won’t miss my anecdotes about 1 Geo Edwardes & Willie Ward at a “Cuts†rehearsal “I must save time†& 2 Geo Edwardes greeting Alfred Lester who had called to protest about me having all the numbers to sing in “Havanaâ€'. In a postscript he writes: ‘I like you am so fond of & wrapped up in the Theatre that I love to write about it - if I write any-thing & I thought I’d struck a good idea & a good title when I wrote a book recently: - / “The Private life of a Theatre†/ The first chapter was an account of a visit to a typical musical comedy with everything that happens from the entry of the orchestra to the final curtain & then I say: - “now those few hours are all the general public know of the life of a theatre: but what about all those other 20 hours Does nothing happen†etc etc / But Hutchinson’s didn’t like it so its put away in Lavender with other mementos.’ 30 December 1947; on letterhead of Poplar Cottage, Beltinge Cliffs, Herne Bay. 6 March 1948; from Poplar Cottage. unknown
