THREE: Caption: 'Another musical "hit" in "The Marriage Market" at Daly's "Slippery Jack" sings a pathetic BIlk Ballad accompanied by the full band of the G.C.M.' Same balding individual on stage in cowboy costume with marching band of Indian musicians behind him and monocled figure peeping out from behind curtain. Musical phrase at foot with words: 'My wife will tell the Public of the way that I've been served'. FOUR: Caption: 'Ragtime in Camp Jemadar Amwalla and The Old Atasi Troupe. "Oooohhhh! he's just meant for kings and queens "Dont yer ask us what he means "Topkhanah ke awaz par tumhara dil burra hojata" We just love that Hitchy Koo Hitchy Koo Hitchy Koo'. Balding individual in military fatigues at back of stage doing something akin to a Hitler salute while saying 'Kan Kholo Bloody Monkey' while five portly Indian men four in military unfiform perform music four on instruments and one singing. FIVE: Caption: 'Il Trovatore Act 4 Scene 19 Leonora Alias "Alicemary". from without deplores the fate of her lover and is answered from within the prison by Manrico Manrico "Tho' for one year we sever "Thou wilt remember me. "In the "Madras Times" there thou wilt champion me Alicemary mine! we part but not for ever'. The balding figure in a cell in chains with a view of a woman through barred gothic windows behind him. The three smaller illustrations are: SIX: Dated in bottom right-hand corner 'C. Cannanore 1913'. Musical phrase at foot with words: 'and the truth shall ever come uppermost and justice shall be done OLD SONG'. Regency scene featuring five Western individuals in a tavern including monocled figure and twittish toff outside window stalking with a gun. SEVEN: Caption: 'Serenade "Bilkeuse" by Il Domeni'. Balding individual in Elizabethan dress serenades Indian figure at window: 'Bilk on oh Bilk Sweet Aaaaaaaarif Oh Bilk again once more! Bilk oooonnnn!' Two flowers fall from the window with book titled 'ADJTS CASH ACCT'. EIGHT: Caption: 'Le Reve: the Court is closed to consider the Finding.'

21634Studley Royal Ripon 25 August 1886. 3 pp. 7 x 4 inches vertical folds in good condition. Marked Private. George Frederick Samuel Robinson first Marquess of Ripon 1827-1909 Liberal statesman. Ripon was Viceroy of India 1880-1884. As regards Burma I share your disquietude as to the state of things there. I always entertained the strongest conviction that the annexation of Upper Burma would prove a much more difficult & a far less profitable undertaking than its eager advocates seemed to suppose - but on the other hand I doubt the possibility now of restoring what has been destroyed & I am afraid that we must pay the penalty of Lord R Churchills rash policy. I agree very much with you in the belief that these things will not be stopped until the cost of them is practically brought home to the British taxpayer. unknown
