243375 May 1896; on leterhead of 130 Edgeware Road London W. See his entry in the Oxford DNB. The Church Army still active today was founded in 1882 as a Church of England equivalent to the Methodists’ Salvation Army. From the papers of the recipient Wilfred Seymour De Winton of Haverfordwest. 3pp 12mo. On a bifolium of grey paper. In good condition lightly aged. Signed ‘W Carlile / Hon. Chief Sec.’ To the left of the signature in the bottom-left of the recto of the second leaf is a purple ink stamp of the following: ‘WRITTEN BY ONE OF OUR POOR STRUGGLING LABOUR HOME BROTHERS’. He begins what is undoubtedly one of many such letters he had to write: ‘Dear Mr De Winton / The Vagrant Criminal and Inebriate Classes a seething mass of our fellow men look to us as the hand of the Church held out to give them a last chance.’ While many could ‘get a fresh start in life after 2 or 3 months staying in one of our Labour Homes the lack of funds compels us day by day to refuse numbers of genuine helpable persons’. He stresses that the homes ‘are not Shelters and are limited to 25 Inmates men women and youths all received irrespective of creed’. He states that 51 1/2 per cent of those who passed through the institutions in the year 1895 ‘obtained a fresh start’ and that the organisation requires ‘£100000 annually’. ‘The financial burdens come heavily on us who nearly all work without any pay.’ He asks if De Winton can help them ‘regain by labour & religion many rapidly sinking into the vortex of crime and misery.’ 5 May 1896; on leterhead of 130 Edgeware Road, London W. unknown
23815Without date or place but before Chantrey's death in 1841 and probably from London. See the entries for Jones and Chantry in the Oxford DNB. 3pp 12mo. On bifolium. An interesting letter of 39 lines with text intact in poor condition aged and with closed tears and discoloration from tape used in repair and ink blot to first page. The surname of the recipient is not given but the close friendship between the two men Jones published a memoir of Chantrey in 1849 puts Chantrey’s identity beyond doubt. Begins: ‘Very dear Sir Francis / Your kind note is duly appreciated and all you do tends to my happiness altho’ it occasionally embarrasses my conduct; in the present instance I deeply feel your kindness in cherishing the pursuit that affords me pleasure but your dony so makes me feel as if I were receiving too great a testimony of your good will’. He is aware that it is ‘impertinent’ for him to ‘judge’ for Sir Francis but he has ‘permitted me to such a station of familiarity that I feel rather as a brother than as a client’. He would far rather his picture were in Sir Francis’s possession than anyone else’s and offer it to him ‘most willingly’ as a ‘testimonium amicitiae’ but he ‘dare not - therefore if it be your will send me one hundred Guineas and I will write you a formal answer by which you will learn what you are to name if my professional fee be demanded -’. If Sir Francis will indulge him by ‘acceding to my wish in this particular’ he will be ‘completely satisfied and this I affirm with the most complete sincerity of heart’ last eleven words underlined. A hundred guineas would have meant nothing to Chantrey; according to the DNB his estate was worth £150000. Without date or place, but before Chantrey's death in 1841, and probably from London. unknown
