TWO: Meek's first letter dated 15 October 1941. 1p. 4to. Headed 'Prob. by Lee'. Replying to Item One he writes: 'It certainly looks as though you have "cooked" the above problem with 1 . B-Kt8.

23103c.1923. Manuscript 21pp. 8vo edge of p.1 dusted ow all good condition Heavily worked on discussion of the issue of Capital Punishment a subject on which I feel so deeply so strongly so earnestly that I dare not trust myself to speak upon it without constraint". After many pages of reasoned argument examining all issues he concludes "On religious moral legal social & humanitarian grounds I beg to say that Capital Punishment is indefensible that it is wrong in principle that it is a perversion of reason that it is injurious in effect that it is blind blundering & cruel in its methods and that in all civilized countries it ought to be abolished." As the editor of the Manchester City News it would be reasonable to assume that this constituted a leading article at some time. This MS is accompanied by the following printed items: a. A printed invitation card in fact a postcard to a Public Meeting on 6 June postmark 1923 Cuming Walters named as one of those "supporters" of the main speaker The Bishop of Manchester; b. S.

98056501London 1894 ILN. Double sheet illustration very good a sketch by Mr. A.W. Wylde H.M.S. "Leander" shows a large Japanese military force disemparking from ships while Korean laborers unload Japanese gear. The lengthy caption below reads: "The transports came in at full speed dropped anchor & started disembarking the troops at once. Chemulpo harbour is very shallow & all but small craft have to lie a good two miles from the landing-place.The troops were conveyed ashore in Corean junks towed by a small steam-boat; they consisted ofabout 2000 men all infantry. Shortly after the arrival of the transports the cruiser 'Yayeama Kan' came in & anchored oputside them. The men fell in on the quay in good order without confusion. They were in heavy marching order & it is impossible to speak too highly of their equipment-they even carry binoculars. Everything they possess seems to be of the newest pattern; they are shod like English troops and carry a spare pair of boots; they carry the old pattern knapsack that the Prussian infantry used to-bullock-hide wit with the hair on-& are armed with magazine rifles. The men are smaller in stature but very sturdy; they did not appear to be in good spirits but the sea voyage might account for that; 10000 more are expected on the 11th including the Imperial guard accompanied by the Crown Prince as Major of Cavalry." Impressive suitable for framing & display. RARE. unknown
