13427Both on letterhead of Old Quarries Avening Gloucestershire. 20 and 24 October 1940. Both items 2pp. 12mo. Both in good condition on lightly-aged paper with slight evidence of previous mounting. The first letter addressed to 'The Editor Cambridge Daily News' begins: 'When I received my L.L.D Degree from the University in June 1931 you published in your issue of June 6 some photographs of the procession to the Senate House on that occasion.' He is writing 'on the off chance' that 'original prints' survive 'as I am most anxious to obtain one for my Autobiography if it is in any way possible to do so'. In the second letter to 'Mr. Stuart' he thanks the editor for the trouble he has taken: 'The photograph is excellent and exactly what I wanted.' He is also 'much amused' by Stuart's 'reminiscence of the Hastings Election 1906 I assume but shocked to learn what I had entirely forgotten that I could ever have spoken against my old friend Freeman Willingdon!' Fareham was a Conservative and Willingdon a Liberal. He recalls that he has stayed with Willingdon 'in India & elsewhere so often since; and was his Sponsor when he took his seat as a "Viscount" in the House of Lords; some 15 years ago.' To prove that there is 'no permanent breach' he is sending a photograph taken when Willingdon 'gave away the Prizes at Cheltenham College - of which I was President'. Both on letterhead of Old Quarries, Avening, Gloucestershire. 20 and 24 October 1940. unknown

The letter - written with energy and some resentment - refers to Admiral Sir William Parker 1781-1866 who was made a Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath in 1815. It is headed 'Private & Confidential' and begins: 'My dear Macdonald In reflection I decided not to ask for the rank you suggested because I thought it might be considered a personal favor & not an act which conferred personal dignity on one of the King's Agents & I detest asking for favors especially from persons unwilling to grant them.' He continues: 'Lord Palmeston ought to see & judge himself whether or not the public service is benefitted by such rank being conferred my own belief is that when An Agent goes amongst these Military Nations where Military rank is alone considered the higher the rank of the Agent the easier he can do his duty.' Nevertheless Napier will not ask '& without asking nothing is given in England'. He continues: 'I think I was ill used in not having the 2d Order of the Bath given to me when it was given to Adl. Parker. We were colleagues on the same station he a New Admiral I a Brigadier General with fuller powers than he had for when two Ministers like Asses sent our fleet to Sea where it remained at a great expense from near 2 to the Nation I alone had the Power to call it into the Tagus & did call it into the Tagus on my own responsiblity which act was approved of by the Ministry. However they gave Parker the Bath & not me but I certainly shall not ask for it. Nor have I ever nor shall I ever complain of not having it & say to to you & to you alone in strict Confidence'.
