All items are addressed to Slocombe with whom the family to whom he was perhaps related by marriage were clearly on intimate terms. Grubby dusty creased dogeared and with several closed tears. The first six letters are from J. B. Fraser the first four being on the letterhead of 'R. D. & J. B. FRASER LIMITED.' 'ESTABLISHED IN THE REIGN OF WILLIAM IV.'

He sends him a birthday present of 'the enclosed curious antique Ring': 'At first I saw in it only the head of a Girl but on looking closely I found it four-headed bearing the head of a Girl old man - warrior & Ram. It is very old being polished surfaco.' Letter 3 Ipswich 18 Sept 1900 4 pages 8vo. The photo has been sent away but the table is coming from Brighton. He can understand 'the rapture you feel in all your surroundings - Mrs. Fraser & I were there in 1879 & stayed at the Ilfracombe Hotel'. Letter 4 Ipswich 2 Nov 1900 2 pages 8vo. The pictures have been delivered safely 'to the Art Gallery' and Fraser's brother thinks 'my portrait very life-like'. Letter 5 1 May 1901 on letterhead 'CRANE HILL LODGE IPSWICH' 4 pages 8vo. Intimate letter congratulating Slocombe on 'what I regard as a great reward for long & anxious waiting'. Discusses Slocombe's 'regret that your Father's great desire being realized he is not alive to see it'. Letter 6 undated on letterhead 'GWYDYR CASTLE LLANRWST. N. WALES.' 4 pages 8vo in particularly poor condition with untidy closed tear at head of first leaf. Possibly an early letter in which he apologises for having 'Promised more than I can perform' regarding 'the Coats of arms on that Cubbord sic alone'. Describes the coats in some detail. Letters 7 and 8 apparently in a different hand but also signed 'J. B. Fraser'. Both on letterhead 'CRANE HILL LODGE IPSWICH.' Letter 7 17 Oct 1907 4 pages 16mo in extremely grubby stamped addressed envelope with postmarks. Edith has died: 'Daily & indeed hourly I miss poor Edith as seeing she was my first care every morning before leaving home and on my return at night and even now I turn unconsciously to her old room.' Letter 8 2 December 1907 4 pages 16mo. Is disappointed that Slocombe will not be joining them for Christmas 'as you have been for so many years'. Has heard that he 'might send Xmas in America'. 'I miss poor dear Edith every day more and more - It was only this morning I said to her mother as we were dining that we had never heard her murmur or complain of anything but she was always willing to sacrifice herself to the comfort of others.' 1899-1907. unknown
