Started on the cover page Aldridge has continued his letter on the last page to then conclude on the inner 2 leaves. Signed "J.H. Aldridge" on the inner leaf. Once apparently mounted along the inner edge with glue or tape there are heavy stains with remnants of glue to the inner edge of the first and last page. There is a tiny tear along the fold with some light brown stains or foxing to all four pages. Good. <p>A RARE LETTER REPLETE WITH HORSE RACING ASSOCIATIONS. Aldridge writes to the Marchioness of Londonderry praising the horse he purchased from her and the Marquis of Londonderry. "You will be pleased to hear Pistol is keeping his name well before the public.I think Pistol will be 5th on the Winning.List in all Australia of course in this State 'South Australia' he is easily 1st.Londonderry by Pistol Antilles won the Broken Hill Cup a few days ago & the Chairman in presenting the cup to the winner referred to the fact that the horse got his name from his Breeder the Marchioness of Londonderry.Pistol is a most prolific father of winners & that is better than one good one & twenty duffers as some sires record. I believe there is only one sire in Australia which has produced more winners this year." He goes on to complain about the season as a whole mentions some "great loss" that she has had and he wishes the Marquis well and that "his illness worries will be settled ere long" Signed "J. H. Aldridge".<p>James Henry "Jim" Aldridge 1849-1929 was a popular and highly respected Australian sportsman. he began his career as a hotelier in Adelaide. He managed the Globe Hotel in Rundle Street a hotel that was popular with sportsmen. He later took charge of the Grand Hotel Broken Hill and the Gresham Hotel. In 1890 with the intent of establishing a stud farm he purchased at a Sydney sale the Stallion Carlyon. Carlyon was to be the lord of the harem so to speak. In addition he purchased a richly bred brood of a half-dozen mares. Sometime between 1888 and 1890 Aldridge purchased Richmond Park in South Australia from its original owner John Chambers. With the Chester horse Carlyon and the stud established Aldridge rapidly became well-known as a breeder. Carlyon and the thoroughbreds he sired at the Richmond Park stud farm made Aldridge's name famous throughout Australian racing circles. Although still able to perform as a stud Carlyon was badly injured in 1905. As it happened however in 1904 Aldridge had purchased Pistol the son of the famous English sire Carbine. Pistol was foaled in 1899 and arrived in South Australia as a five year old. He was purchased from the Marquis of Londonderry for the large sum of 1250 pounds. As a stud Pistol performed into his 26th year and sired winners of more than 641 races out of 1423 competitions. Up until Aldredge's death in 1829 the Pistol progeny had won approximately 200000 pounds in stake money. In atribute after his death the Chairman of the S.A.J.C. South Australian Jockey Club Whitmore Blake Carr "Doc Carr" wrote: "For years Mr. Aldridge has been one of the best widely known and most popular identities of the turf in South Australia and one to whom the sport owed much of its maintenance and stability. When he ran horses he did so for the pure love of the sport and the applause which always attended the success of his colours was a fine tribute by the racing public to the popularity of the owner. He was an exceptionally fine judge of a horse. The gratifying results which have been achieved at Richmond Park making it stand today so high in the list of studs in the Commonwealth was due to his sound judgment and ripe experience." Richmond Park, [South Australia]: July 12, 1913. unknown

Adelaide Royal Geographical Society of Australasia South Australian Branch and printed by R.E.E. Rogers Government Printer 1911 enlarged edition. Octavo viii 108 vi 84 pages printed on handmade paper plus 16 pages of plates 2 folding maps and 2 folding facsimile documents. Gilt-pictorial vellum top edge gilt others uncut and unopened; one opening slightly tanned from the ribbon marker; a fine copy in the original plain paper dustwrapper a little sunned and torn with the title added later in ink on the spine. Number 190 of only 200 copies numbered and signed by Thomas Gill. This is a deluxe enlarged edition of a work first published as the Supplement to Volume 11 of the Proceedings of the RGSSA in the same year. The extra material includes text maps and facsimile documents. <p>We have only encountered the dustwrapper once before and the small oval label of the 'Government Printing Office Adelaide S.A.' gilt on red cloth mounted on the rear pastedown is uncommon in our experience. Loosely inserted are two interesting pieces of ephemera indicating that this was one of several copies offered for sale by ballot to members of the Royal Geographical Society of Australasia South Australian Branch in 1978. The Society was the original publisher and it purchased the author's collection after his death in 1923 so these retained copies - released nearly 70 years after the work was published - could have come from either source.
