His correspondent from Ceylon has enclosed a report "made by a Mr Simon Keir and Mr. George Hamilton Dundas" Keir Dundas & Co. were the "largest agency house" in Ceylon c.1850s" He continues " The sender of the Report is quoted as saying "I would still strongly advise that you put up the whole place to auction make the time of payment easy and surely you will get this low estimation value". Maddock then discusses the possibilites for the nauture of the sale instalments half shares etc "but I should prefer washing my hands of the troublesome speculator altogether and would only consent to a parnership with any one for the sake of the advantage of placing the management in the hands of one interested in the prosperity of the whole concern. The expenses are now so much reduced that I trust if I am compelled to keep this property and no peculair misfortune happens next season like the deficiency of coolies last year and a visitation of the Bug this year that it will yield a considerable income. The field that suffered most from bug is said now to be showing a prospect of 100 bushels an acre." He asks to be referred to anyone who might help when he arrives in London."

25035One letter from 1914 the other nine from 1915. Each on his letterhead 42 Frederick Street Victoria Chambers Edinburgh. In one of the present letters Hay signs himself as ‘Retired Behar Indigo planter’ and the material provides an knowledgeable commentry on the colonial textiles industry at the beginning of the First World War. Some of the material was printed in the Journal of the Royal Society of Arts. The recipient George Kenneth Menzies 1869-1954 was Secretary to the Royal Society of Arts between 1917 and 1935. A total of 21pp 4to. Each bears the stamp of the RSA some with manuscript docketting. Three of the letters appear to be incomplete: those of 4 and 9 January 1915 consists of an unsigned first page only and that of 5 January 1915 is paginated to 7 but lacks p.6. Each of the eight letters with a final page is signed ‘Lewis J. E. Hay.’ The condition of the material is good on lightly aged paper some items with pin holes from the attachment of pages. The first two letters 18 December 1914 and 4 and 9 January 1915 concern ‘Dr. F. Mollvo Perkin’s Lecture’ copies of which Hay requests in order to send them ‘to my friends who are interested in the Indian Indigo industry’. In the second letter he writes: ‘As a Planter I well know that many valuable lectures have been given and discussions have taken place at the Royal Society on Indigo and its Competitors which we planters in India never even heard of though we were vitally interested in the matter!’ He would like to ‘guard against this happening on this occasion’ as there seems to him to be ‘some chance of reviving our Industry provided Dr. F. Molvo Perkin’s most sound advice is taken.’ The incomplete letter of 5 January 1915 six pages of seven is headed ‘Natural Indigo’ and consists of ‘some comments on the generally speaking very accurate description given by the Author of the manufacture of the above dye as practised in Behar’. Topics touched on include ‘the colour of the steeped liquor’ indoxyl ‘the Dutch planters process’ ‘known differences in dyeing strength’ ‘vitamines’ ‘the Chinese method of extracting Indigo’. He ends with a warning of the need to ‘hold the fort against a German monopoly’: ‘our home manufacturers . will assuredly suffer should Germany reach her goal a monopoly of the dye-stuffs of the World’. In another letter of the same date he responds positively to Menzies telegram proposal to ‘publish bulk of your letter in Society of Arts Journal’. Incomplete letter of 9 January 1915 first page only contains comments on ‘Chinese Alkaline Extraction Vat’. A three-page letter of 11 January 1915 is signed ‘Lewis J. E. Hay / Retired Behar Indigo planter.’ It discusses the ‘Alkaline method of Extraction’. In the following four-page letter 14 January 1915 Hay seeks to ‘sum up my conclusions on the existing Behar process and give my suggestions briefly for a possible alternative one’. A two-page letter 18 January 1915 discusses the relative merits of ‘Natural Dye’ and ‘Synthetic’. A postscript reads: ‘It would be helpful if Dr. Perkin Professor Armstrong & other scientists could be induced to give their views for alternative processes. If you thought of publishing my letter of 14th. inst. perhaps Dr. Perkins would very kindly write a note for publication at the same time. / L H.’ The final letter 8 February 1915 concerns a completely different subject being a covering letter for a paper ‘Re Possible Origin of Malignant Diseases’: ‘I don’t know if my Article is suitable for publication but it may prove of interest to investigators engaged in Cancer Research - also the causes of some forms of Insanity.’ One letter from 1914, the other nine from 1915. Each on his letterhead, 42 Frederick Street, Victoria Chambers, Edinburgh. unknown

1011519 March 1887; No 7 Apsley Terrace Acton. 12mo 4 pp. Bifolium. 47 lines. Text clear and complete. Good on lightly-aged paper. As 'an intimate personal friend from 1865' Birdwood endorses Wood's application stating that he was 'a frequent Examiner in political economy for Bombay University' between 1874 and 1880. He explains that Bombay University took in 'the greatest interest' in the subject and 'always endeavoured to secure the best qualified examiners - having the whole Civil Service beside the Educational Department to select from' and that they 'always preferred' Wood. After praises Wood's qualities Birdwood lists his own qualifications over eight lines. 19 March 1887; No 7 Apsley Terrace, Acton. unknown
2425523 October 1906; 119 The Avenue West Ealing London. See his entry in the Oxford DNB. 11pp 12mo with three of the pages written lengthwise. On three bifoliums. In good condition folded once. The hurried loose handwriting of this long letter presents a considerable challenge: even the signature ‘Geo Birdwood.’ ‘Gen Birdwood.’ and the name of the recipient ‘Fagan’ are doubtful. The letter begins with a reference to the ‘extract from Lady Dorothy Nevills - Reminiscences - given in the cutting from the Globe of yesterday enclosed in your kind note of today’. He states that he had ‘nothing to do with the origination of the Primrose League & I refused to have anything to do with it when asked to join in its constitution. It was Primrose Day I founded’. The passage which follows is opaque. Later on he states ‘I never wd have anything to do with the League. I abominate woman in politics: & I only joined the League when they conferred on me the Grand Cross of the Order in express recognition of my founding P. D.’ In his opinion ‘the Tariff Reform movement & all involved in its success - which I fear - is completely making up our old political & after a period of Chaos the country will settle down with quite a new country with new parties which will be as little interested in the England of Gladstone & D’Israeli & Russell - as we are in the world & politics of the moon’ 23 October 1906; 119 The Avenue, West Ealing [London]. unknown

The following paragraph reads possibly with regard to women’s suffrage: ‘What are we to do with our “monstrous Regiment†of Women Is there any remedy short of polygamy’ He turns to the subject of ‘German Immigrants’ on which he has an unusual view: ‘what are we but improved Germans We are Germans disciplined & trained by the Normans and by a long enjoyment of free institutions & of a maritime & Colonial System’.

The first three addressed to 'Dear Sir' and the last to 'Dear Fisher'. All four signed 'A C Lyall' both with and without periods after the initials. ONE 9 October 1888: 3pp 12mo. Bifolium. He acknowledges the 'list of lectures' which 'contains already several subjects connected with Indian religion so that I am inclined to doubt whether any additional contribution that I could make will not be superflous.' Nevertheless he asks questions about his 'rights over his paper after it has been read' and 'the actual length of time which the lecture is expected to take up in delivery'. TWO 17 December 1888: 3pp 12mo. Bifolium. The 'proof of the Lecture List seems correct' and he suggests sending a dozen copies to his 'standing address' at Queen's Gate. He will 'defer replying definitively' with regard to the 'proposal that my manuscript shall be published in a volume'. He has been preparing the lecture 'in rough notes under the impression that the full manuscript when filled out would be at my own disposal for future use'. THREE 17 November 1895: 2pp 12mo. The date that he suggests will suit Lyall 'very well for my lecture - so far as it is possible to engage ones' sic self for three months hence'. He has 'no experience of illustrations by the magic lantern' and does not know 'whether they would be procurable for a lecture on North India'. FOUR 23 April 1907: 2pp 12mo. Bifolium. Begins: 'Dear Fisher / It would be useless I fear to agree that you should give my name as a reference in connexion with your candidature for a Professorship of Commerical Law.' He explains why this is so before stating: 'In regard to the offices you have held in India no attestation from me is required they can be verified from the Record of Service in the India List and from other documents. / So I am obiged with regret to reply that I cannot comply with your request.'
