2234217 May 1895 on letterhead of 3a Portman Mansions W. London. Yates studied in Paris before setting up a successful practice in San Francisco also teaching there at the Art Student League. His portraits include the educator John Haden Badley and the only president of Hawaii Sanford Ballard Dole. He returned to England in 1900 but was invited back to America to attend the inauguration of Woodrow Wilson and to paint his portrait. Wilson presented Yates with the flag that his hand rested on whilst he took his oath of office. The Oldham family moved in artistic circles and Constance Oldham was John Ruskin's god-daughter and corresponded with him. Other papers suggest that the recipient was resident at Walpole Chislehurst Kent. 4pp 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition lightly aged. Folded once. A pencil note at the head of the first page gives the subject as the 'funeral of Anne Oldham'. A moving description of a Victorian funeral beginning: 'My dear Mrs Oldham A short letter it shall be but allow me this privilege of writing you. - You could not be at the service but you will know how everyone was thinking of you and I thought you may like to hear from one outside of your family how nicely and quietly everything passed off'. He proceeds to describe the 'quietly conducted' service on 'a beautiful peaceful afternoon'. After naming the pieces played by the organist he writes: 'Everyone sang. It was good to see your old manservant William there – and some of your other faithful ones – they came up and wished me “good day†but I could not remember exactly who they were.' He lists some of the mourners: 'Mr. Townsend and his little daughter – The Preby and his boy. - Mrs Thomas and one or two grand old heads these will remain in my memory.' He wishes he could make her 'feel the love and harmony of all present – The choir boys sang very well rustic and primitive enough their surplices blown by the wind in the open air as they put your dear one to her last resting place.' He ends touchingly: 'God give you peace dear friend I have some knowledge of your loss and I loved her too'. 17 May 1895, on letterhead of 3a Portman Mansions, W. [London] unknown
24743‘18bre sic 1855’ Wimbledon London. An interesting letter indicating the networks of sympathisers who assisted those fleeing to England in the years following the revolutions of 1848. In the July 1895 edition of the Atlantic the subject of this letter the Christian Socialist J. M. Ludlow in reviewing Nadaud’s memoirs described him as ‘a friend of my own of many years’ standing’. The present item was written in the seventh of the eighteen years of Nadaud’s English exile part of which was spent as a teacher in Wimbledon under the name ‘Henri Geo. Nadaud’. The identity of the recipient is not known. 4pp 16mo. Bifolium on grey paper. Worn and with a small part of one corner torn away but in fair overall condition. Folded once for postage. Sixty-six lines of text addressed to ‘Cher Mons Delabussière’ and signed ‘Martin’. He begins by explaining why he has not been able to return in person the ‘numéro’ of a periodical that Delabussière has sent him and that he has read with great pleasure. He had previously made arrangements about altered worktimes with a colleague. He goes on to ask whether Delabussière would like to dine with him the following Wednesday and whether he would like him to invite ‘Boura’ and another man as well. He states that he does not recall talking to Boura on the subject of a letter ‘écrite par le monsieur ou je suis à celui que je venais de quitter. / Le fait de votre réussite parle assez haut en lui même pour que aucun on dit ne puisse atteindre votre amore propre. Si on n’avait pas eu confiance en vous je n’y pourais pas été appele’ He hopes that Delabussière's ‘association’ brings him money as friends are rare and a man is placed in the scales of wealth rather than of honour. He has distributed Delabussière's prospectuses along with his own calling card and bids him visit ‘un de mes bons amis Mr Ludlow avocat anglais 3 Old Square Lincom-inn sic’ and tell him that he is ‘le professeur de Mechanics institution’ and ‘il aura peut être un collège à vous offrir’. It will be worth his while ‘car ces messieurs font des sacrifices énormes pour l’education du peuple anglais’. He gives a few further instructions regarding how to approach Ludlow ending ‘Il sait toute mon affaire je ne lui cache rien!’ ‘18bre [sic] 1855’ [Wimbledon, London]. unknown

245353 November 1951; Suryasthanam 16 Nemi Road Dehra Dun Uttar Pradesh India. From the papers of W. J. Macqueen-Pope see his entry in the Oxford DNB. Addressed in autograph to MP care of the BBC and then forwarded to his office 359 Strand. Pencil annotation by MP. On one side of an unillustrated postmarked printed British ‘Indian Postage’ air mail card with Indian postage stamp. In good condition aged and lightly-worn. Also in Singh’s autograph is the salutation to ‘Dear Pope’ and the valediction ‘Your sincere / St Nihal Singh ST NIHAL SINGH’. He is addressing MP ‘informally in the belief that you are an old - and esteemed - acquaintance who in the years of my London journalism gave his working hours to Rothermere Press and his leisure to Shakespeare and used to give me the pleasure of his company now and again’. He continues: ‘SHOULD it be a case of mistaken identity a phrase that must have often leant from your lips let me hasten to ensure you that your broadcasts invariably delight us. You often speak of players whom we knew -- some of them in private life as well as on the stage. Your voice as we receive it is clear and pleasant.’ Carbon copy of MP’s typed reply 9 November 1951: 1p 4to. Aged and worn with creasing and wear at foot but no loss of text. He believes that Singh has him mixed up with ‘T. Michael Pope who was a journalist and a friend of mine although no relation. I have always worked in the theatre although for many years now my job therein has been a combination of management and publicity which always brought me into the closest contact with Fleet Street and I feel sure we met.’ Singh’s postacard has given him ‘great joy. Nowadays I write many books all on the subject of the Theatre. I don’t know whether they ever get to India but if they do I am sure you would like them.’ 3 November 1951; Suryasthanam, 16, Nemi Road, Dehra Dun, Uttar Pradesh, India. unknown
