H A L Fisher [Herbert Fisher; Herbert Albert Laurens Fisher] (1865-1940), English historian and Warden of New College, Oxford [WBiblio.com

Two Autograph Letters Signed both 'Herbert Fisher' to 'My dear Gore' the first conferring upon him an honorary fellowship and the second containing an assessment of Ormsby-Gore's son David.

84777 October 1936 and 12 March 1937; both on letterheads of 'The Warden's Lodgings New College Oxford'. Both items good on lightly-aged paper. Letter One: 4to 1 p. Begins 'The College today at its Special General Meeting did itself the honour of electing you to an Honorary Fellowship. We trust that it may not be unacceptable to you to be thus associated with our Society. There are no duties save that of wearing a surplice in Chapel on Sundays and Feasts of the Church.' He thanks Gore for his 'generous words' of the previous day. Letter Two: 4to 2 pp. He thanks him for his 'helpful letter about David' Gore's son the Conservative politician William David Ormsby-Gore 5th Baron Harlech 1918-1985 and consequently raises no objection 'to his being out of College in the Autumn' which 'may well prove to be the best thing for him'. The previous day David told Fisher 'that he was anxious to go into the House of Commons as soon as possible'. Fisher 'can see from his appreciation of Thucydides and de Tocqueville which is obviously genuine that his mind is taking a political shape.' He sees 'gleams of unusual promise about the boy' and thinks that 'As his physical strength improves and as the memories of those shocks to which you allude fade into the background . he will gain in confidence and concentration'. Characterises him as being at that time 'wayward elusive casual rather than idle decidedly <> with occasional touches of brilliance extremely sensitive and reserved' and with 'a certain distinction of nature'. He 'gave up the Hebdomadal Council' after his illness the previous year and does not know 'what is afoot about Honorary Degrees'. 7 October 1936 and 12 March 1937; both on letterheads of 'The Warden's Lodgings, New College, Oxford'. unknown

93791938 and 1939. Three on letterheads of New College Oxford one from the Warden's Lodgings and one from Thursley Godalming Surrey. Each of the four items has text clear and complete.

Chapman referred to throughout as 'Ronnie' has not been well and Fisher makes a suggestion to his mother regarding his 'future': 'Cecil Rhodes spent seven years on this process and never regretted it. . I do not of course wish to imply that a degree is indispensible. Many good Oxford men have progressed without it - but it is useful and an encouragement to those who have earned it and Ronnie once returned to normal health could so easily achieve it .'. Letter Two 12mo 4 pp: 29 November 1938. Fisher has been discussing matters with Chapman's tutor 'Brydon' who finds that as his 'work has been so much interrupted by illness' a place in the Honour School that summer would be a 'risk'. Discusses possible courses of action. Letter Three 12mo 2 pp: 21 August 1939. He is sorry to learn of Chapman's 'eye trouble' and suggests that he apply to the BBC for employment using Fisher's name as referee. Letter Four 4to 1 p typed: 20 April 1939. He is pleased to learn that Chapman is working at a publisher's office and that his health is improving. 'Later on when you have made a success of your profession you must replace your name on the books and renew your contact with New College and Oxford.' He is sorry to hear that 'Limnerslease' now the G. F. Watts museum is up for sale: 'I have so many delightful recollections of that beautiful house'.
