2448210 April 1874; from Hill Street Woolwich on letterhead of Hill House Woolwich S.E. An excellent letter casting light on the relationship between the editor of The Times and a senior correspondent. See the two men’s entries in the Oxford DNB. Brackenbury’s states that ‘During the Austro-Prussian War of 1866 Brackenbury was the Times correspondent with the Austrian army and was at the battle of Königgrätz Sadowa — riding with Benedek under fire at Chlum — and reported the naval battle of Lissa. He was the Times correspondent in the Franco-Prussian War accompanying Prince Frederick Charles in the Le Mans campaign; and in the Russo-Turkish War of 1877 when he crossed the Balkans with Count Gourko.’ 4pp 12mo. Bifolium. In very good condition folded twice. Thin strip from windowpane mount adhering to edges in not unpleasing way. Signed ‘C. B. Brackenbury’ and addressed to ‘My dear Delane’. The letter begins: ‘Captain Clarke brought me today the last number of his translation of the German War of 1870-71. He is sending you a copy and I hope you will find some one to review it in my place.’ Brackenbury has himself translated ‘the Report of the Committee on French Army re organization together with the law as proposed and passed’ which the War Office is publishing. ‘You shall have the first copy issued which I will mark myself.’ In his opinion a great deal of the report ‘bears upon much more than French re-organization’. He will be very glad if Delane finds it ‘worth a notice’. He continues: ‘Though I may not write more on military affairs I don’t see why I should not review other books if you can find any for me. Even if you have no space for them at present the reviews might stand over till the interest of the new parliament is over.’ It seems to him ‘unnatural to have no work in hand for you’. The postscript reads: ‘They say that my review of Clarke’s first number started the Intelligence Department.’ 10 April 1874; from Hill Street [Woolwich], on letterhead of Hill House, Woolwich, S.E. unknown

21235'Head Quarters Isle Dauphine February 14th. 1815.' On paper with Golding & Snelgrove watermark dated 1811. 3pp foolscap 8vo. On laid paper with watermark: 'GOLDING & SNELGROVE 1811'. Aged and worn with closed tears along folds but with text complete and clear. The document includes two passages written in red ink which has faded but is still legible. The background to the present letter is given in Lambert's entry in the Oxford DNB: 'On 4 June 1813 Lambert was promoted major-general and was appointed to a brigade of the 6th division. … Having been sent to America he joined the army under Sir Edward Pakenham below New Orleans on 6 January 1815 with the 7th and 43rd foot regiments. In the unsuccessful attack on the American trenches made two days afterwards he commanded the reserve. When Pakenham was killed and General Gibbs mortally wounded the chief command devolved on Lambert. He decided not to renew the attack withdrew the troops which had been sent across the Mississippi and after retreating on 18 January re-embarked his force on the 27th. It went to the Bay of Mobile where Fort Bowyer was taken on 12 February and next day news arrived that peace had been signed.' The letter appears in its entirety in William James's 'A Full and Correct Account of the Military Occurrences of the Late War between Great Britain and the United States of America' London: 1818. It begins: 'My Lord My dispatch dated January 29th. will have informed your Lordship of the re-embarkation of this force which was completed on the 30th.: the weather came on so bad on that night and continued so until the 5th. February so that no communication could be held with the Ships at the inner anchorage a distance of about seventeen miles It being agreed between Vice Admiral Sir Alexander Cochrane and myself that operations should be carried towards Mobile it was decided that a force should be sent against Fort Bowyer situated on the eastern point of the entrance of the bay and from every information that could be obtained it was considered a brigade would be sufficient for this object with a respectable force of artillery.' Lambert proceeds to give a description of how following 'an incessant fire for two days' Fort Bowyer was 'given up to a British guard and British colours hoisted; the terms being signed by Major Smith military Secretary and Captain Ricketts R.N. and finally approved of by the Vice Admiral and myself'. He gives full credit to those involved. 'Head Quarters Isle Dauphine | February 14th. 1815.' [On paper with Golding & Snelgrove watermark dated 1811.] unknown
155501630s or 1640s. Five pages cr.8vo poor condition including one bifolium chipped with small loss of text. On p.4 of the bifilium there is a signed statement in William Collins's hand the auditor: 'Theise are the Auntient Rentes of the principall Impropriations of the Deane & Chapter of Sarum i.e. Salisbury according to the survey 26 H. 8 i.e. of the 26th year of Henry VIII = 1534-5. What sume they are improved appeareth not but neither are the values of Bedwym Bedwyn Okborne Ogbourne & Uphaven Upavon expressed.Wm Collins Auditor'. About 70 Prebends Tithes and Rectories are listed with their rents not in Collins' hand some crossed out others added in Collins hand. The first in the list is "Lavington Prebend ye yearly rente is xxxixpounds ." Mere . Warmister Prebend etc rentes given. Places concluding Rectorie include Homington Cricklade those concluding Tithes include New Forest Windsor Forest. The list is therefore of the churches in Wiltshire that belonged to the dean and chapter of Salisbury showing the amount of annual rent the incumbents had to pay in order to hold them according to a survey carried out in 1534-5. William Collins was the Earl of Salisbury's auditor who seems to have been active from the 1620s to the 1640s. The hand certainly fits this period. It might be dated to the 1640s perhaps in the context of an attempt by Parliament to assess the income of the Salisbury dean and chapter after disestablishment in 1646. 1630s or 1640s[?] unknown
