12112'H.M.S. Tauranga at Sea' undated but presumably on HMS Tauranga's maiden voyage to Australia 1890. 13pp. 12mo. On three bifoliums and a last single leaf. On aged and worn paper. A semi-literate but spirited epistle. Little is to be discovered concerning the identity of the writer. Addressed to 'My Darling Son' and signed 'good bye be good ever yours and yours alone William Kay' but with a few hints that the letter may not in fact be from a father to his son. Kay begins by stating that he is going to fulfil his promise and write 'a long letter'. Of the journey he writes: 'its not particularly rough but its the speed we are going that makes her roll we are now steaming past Deal at the rate of 19.8. so you can judge the rate we are going . we are ripping as the sailors call it. She's a very good sea boat so far. Shes alright down below but on deck oh my she simply washes down fore and half so we stay down below as much as we can. We had it rough last night off lands end but she behaved very well you would laugh if you were here we were standing on the forecastle last night watching her capers and a big fat wave came and washed us out of it she doesnt attempt to jump over them but she simply plunges right through it You ought to of seen us we was like a lot of drownded rats and then their was a yell how do you like Her.' He reports that 'we have a lot of young Blue Jacket sailor Boys on board we are going to take them out to Australia and I pittied them last night they were all sick and one of our little drumer sic Boys was that bad we had to take him to the Doctor in fact we thought he was going to roll up but he's alright now of course it doesnt effect us old seadogs'. He reports that the ship is going to Grimsby and Hull and then Torquay. He declares 'I shant kiss anybody else Annie Glenister ask me for one when I was at home but I wouldnt giver her one she said it was to bad of me she said if it was Lou Blane you wouldnt say no Not I. why should I you had better answer that one day when I was in No. 9 Union terrace the two annies got me down in the dressmaking shop and both of them kissed me what cheek but didnt I pay them out for it I got annie J. Down and capsized all her dressmaking gear all over her'. Docketed 'Very last letter. From on board ship.' HMS Tauranga was an Pearl-class Royal Navy cruiser built by J. & G. Thomson Glasgow and originally named HMS Phoenix. She was launched on 28 October 1889 and was renamed Tauranga as part of the Auxiliary Squadron of the Australia Station on 2 April 1890 arriving in Sydney with the squadron on 5 September 1891. She saw service during the Samoan civil war in 1899 and spent between 1901 and 1903 in reserve at Sydney before being assigned to the New Zealand division of the Australia Station. She left the Australia Station on 14 December 1904 and was sold for scrap in July 1906. 'H.M.S. Tauranga at Sea' [undated, but presumably on HMS Tauranga's maiden voyage to Australia, 1890]. unknown

2294922 October 2007. With label carrying his Essex address. 2pp folio. In envelope with stamp and postmark addressed to Corden's Mill Hill address. Letter folded twice and letter and envelope in good condition. He begins by thanking him for sending 'the inscribed copy of Ken Delve's "Story of the Spitfire" - a truly excellent book just jam-packed with detail - he must have done a prodigious amount of research to put it all together'. He is 'bowled over by the extent of Corden's munificence'. Rose finds it 'a continuing source of amazement that such a "cult" has developed over everything to do with the Spitfire but it does reinforce the conviction that it was completely unique and a real lady!' He laments the 'dwindling' of 'the number of aircrew' at 'the annual re-union of B. of B. survivors at Bentley Priory Stanmore': 'about 40 this year but of course there are still a few abroad and also several who are unable to travel'. He reports that the Ministry of Defence 'has sold the Priory and its magnificent parkland surroundings for a tidy sum I believe but with a reservation that the centre part of the Georgian building will be kept to commemorate Dowding's management of the RAF during the battle - could be used as a museum for reunion of survivors for cadet training etc. -'. He ends with renewed thanks for the gift and in the hope that they may 'meet one day - but it'll have to be fairly soon as I shall be 90 next June!' 22 October 2007. With label carrying his Essex address. unknown
