22615'Rotterdam Dec 13' on paper with watermark date 1830. 4pp 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition on lightly-aged paper with minor traces of tape from mount adhering along one edge. Endorsed 'Genl. Wm. Napier'. On wove paper with watermark 'CANSELL 1830'. 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'.

22048The first of the four letters on letterhead of Little Parkhurst Abinger Common Nr Dorking Surrey; the other three without place. One from 1940 two from 1941 one from 1943. The recipient Simon Nicholson was a colonial civil servant and a neighbour of Lugard at Tallboys in Abinger Hammer. He and his wife Molly were a cultured couple and were friends of Edith Wharton and Bernard Berenson. The four letters are in good condition lightly aged and worn and each is 2pp 12mo. Each folded once. The first three are signed 'Lugard' and the last to Molly Nicholson 'Fred Lugard'. In the first letter 23 September 1940 after expressing pleasure at seeing Nicholson again and having 'a talk' he begs him 'not to postpone your week-end here. Molly needs it – badly – She did not say so – quite the contrary but I did not need to be told.' He asks him to come the following Saturday adding: 'You can bring papers & have the drawing-room to yourself.' He asks to be informed 'as much in advance as is convenient as I may have Reg Brackenbury & his wife any week-end'. Lugard's brother 'was disappointed that you forgot to hand me some papers you had for him'. The second letter 21 March 1941 concerns arrangements for a meeting with Lugard stating that 'it is a monstrous long time since I have seen you'. He also expresses regret that Nicholson is 'selling Tallboys'. The third letter 9 May 1941 begins: 'My brother & I are both delighted to hear that you are coming back to Tallboys & selfishly hope that you will continue to fail in your attempts to sell it. If Little Parkhurst can be of any use to you in the transition don't fail to make use of it.' He has 'been much engrossed with Abyssinia of late' and looks forward to talking to Nicholson about it. In a postscript he names two individuals who 'are coming “to talk over old timesâ€'. In the final letter to Molly 22 January 1943 he regrets that it is so long since he has seen her and her husband 'for though so comparatively close the lack of petrol has as you say placed a gulf between us. Simon wrote me a most welcome letter from his office & I enclose this little note to you in my reply.' He find the 'news from Russia … very cheering - & wonderful' and does not suppose it will be 'very long now before our turn comes to face the Nazis in Europe'. He ends in the hope that 'some obliging friend' will give the Nicholsons 'a lift over'.
