2430018 June 1863; Edinburgh. See his entry in the Oxford DNB. 1p 12mo. In good condition lightly aged. Folded twice. Sixteen closely- and neatly-written lines. After thanking him for his ‘kind and seasonable letter’ he states that he is ‘not much affected by rude abuse in parliament or through the press’ as he is ‘pretty well hardened in that respect’ and that he ‘may possibly have an opportunity’ in his own ‘proper place’ ‘of explaining & vindicating’ his position for the purpose of which he asks Allan ‘for somewhat more particular information in regard to monumental inscriptions in Christian communities’. He explains that he is referring to Allan’s comment that he does not ‘recollect having seen lines from an uninspired penman with the exact place of the quotation in his writings’. He asks if this applies to Roman Catholic cemeteries. ‘It would be no inconsistency to have the Apocrypha quoted in them’. At the head of the letter he writes: ‘Pardon me if I have addressed you erroneously’. 18 June 1863; Edinburgh. unknown

25648No date or place 1970s. On his compliments slip. See his entry in the Oxford DNB. From the papers of Philip Dosse proprietor of Hansom Books publisher of a stable of seven arts magazines including Books and Bookmen and Plays and Players. See ‘Death of a Bookman’ by the novelist Sally Emerson editor of ‘Books and Bookmen’ at the time of Dosse’s suicide in Standpoint magazine October 2018; and Michael Barber 'What was Books and Bookmen' Literary Review blog 18 August 2023.

At top left of the page Betjeman has typed 'Dear Mr Dosse - How nice of old Charles'. He adds a scarcely-legible Autograph Note of around twelve words in felt-tip pen and also adds an accent incorrectly to the 'e' of 'Dosse'.

26224No date. On letterhead of 43 Cloth Fair London EC1. See his entry in the Oxford DNB. 1p 12mo. In fair condition but lightly discoloured with a large rectangle of sunning covering most of the lower part and a neat crease at bottom right not affecting the signature which is partially sunned. Annotated in pencil by a later hand on the reverse. Betjeman’s handwriting is bad so the following reading is tentative. ‘Dear Lady Jones / I meant to write to you long ere this to tell you how grateful I was to you & Sir Roderick Jones her husband for letting us house this prize in your capacious drawing room. I was grateful to you too for remembering our conversation at Old Billa’s Lady Wilhelmine Harrod wife of the economist Sir Roy Harrod in Oxford. I remember being impressed with it there & “that really exactly how I feel.â€â€™ See IMage No date. On letterhead of 43 Cloth Fair, London EC1. hardcover
