226023 October 1899; Norfolk Island Melanesia. 5pp 8vo. On bifolium and single leaf of thin ruled paper. In fair condition on lightly aged and discoloured paper. Closely written in a not-entirely legible hand with the first page having the underlined heading: 'to the Editor of the Tonbridgian'. The Tonbridgian was the magazine of Tonbridge School where Wilson was educated and the letter was presumably published as intended. The letter begins: 'Dear Sir I promised when in England last year that I would send a letter sometimes about our work in Melanesia. I have just come back from a voyage round the diocese calling at about 90 places between the New Hebrides & Solomon Islands & travelling about 3700 miles.' He describes how the first part of the voyage was 'by far the most trying': 'Pure unsophisticated savages are still to be found a plenty' with 'a number of naked people'. On one of the 'small islands inside a lagoon . the natives told us that on one island which could not have been more than an acre in size there were 400 people living. I went off to pay them a call & the first island that I came to turned out to be in one sense the most important of all for the chief lived there . the old gentleman & one or two wives . I saw Qekavoi the chief . Poor old fellow he was hair-lipped & blear-eyed & old tall & very big he must have been a tough customer once. Now all he wanted & asked for was something to do his eyes good & some tobacco. I gave him the last & sent him the first & then went on to his his people in the next island. Their village had been like a city of the dead until I had been welcomed by the chief. The instant the people had seen him receive me they raised a loud shout & all the young people male & female took the water & swam off to meet me.' A description of the village follows before Wilson exclaims: 'how much I wanted a lot of them to go away to Norfolk Island with me. They had heard of "Navaka Lana! they said but did not want to go there. Well they took all my hooks lines necklaces & tobacco off me & we made great friends. The women were as disdainful at our parting as they had been at our arrival. The young people again swam after us until we left them behind.' He concludes: 'This will give you some little idea of our work. It is just the thing for old Tonbridge boys. Is anyone thinking of coming' The single leaf only bears the postscript: 'I did not visit the other two islands in the lagoon because one was set aside for women when sick & the other was in mourning for its chief.' 3 October 1899; Norfolk Island [Melanesia]. unknown

22596Melanesian Mission Honiara British Solomon Islands 17 January 1956. Airmail letter 27 x 17cm one and a half pages typed fold marks minor staining mainly good. A long and detailed letter discussing the circumstances of the forthcoming trial of Reginald Poole revealed as a predatory homosexual and about to be tried for the murder of a Melanesian youth. He describes it as a "time of crisis and distress . It is a bitter blow that such a tragic incident should come in the very early days of my episcopacy .but Meanesia will emerge from her hour of darkness and make a greater contribution of devoted loyalty and service to the Church Universal." He asks for support especially for those who will be witnesses at the Trial. "You will have heard details of the tragic incident which took place at the Maravovo School on November 17th." When he had returned to the Solomons he had engaged the services of a "christian psychiatrist" from Sydney who had many interviews with Poole "and then made his report". He had been shocked at the Preliminary Enquiry at what staff members said about Poole and his behaviour "whilst at Pawa School - had such matter have elided been reported to me or my Archdeacon this crime may not have been committed as I should have ordered Poole South immediately. It is easy to be wise after such an event! I have engaged Counsel - the trial is to be held on 31st January. There is no question or doubt as to his not by Cohen in margin having committed the crime and so I have no doubt what the verdict of the court will be. It is obviously clear that Poole is a homo-sexual and that the trial is going to be a great strain and humiliation for us all." He has visited the parents of the murdered "lad" in Malaita. "some 700 had gathered at Sulufou to hear what the Bishop had to say. It is only of recent years that this area has received Christianity and there are still many heathens in the locality - their old custom is 'a life for a life'. Brisitish Justice is on trial as never before and should Reginald Poole be committed for life or declared insane we can expect repercussions .". He then discusses other projects he is involved with "Two ship scheme" etc. See Robert Aldrich "Colonialism and Homosexuality" for details of the Poole murder case. Cf. the case of Cardinal Pell tried early this year. Melanesian Mission, Honiara, British Solomon Islands, 17 January 1956. unknown
