[Christopher Fry [born Arthur Hammond Harris] (1907-2005), playwright] his brother Charles Leslie Harris (b1902) [Bedford SchoolBiblio.com

Christopher Fry: the schoolboy diaries of his elder brother Charles Leslie Harris. Four years of diaries 1916-1919 covering his time at Bedford School.

239121916 to 1919 each a â€˜Charles Letts School-Boyâ€™s Diaryâ€™. At front of diaries for 1916 and 1917 he writes: â€˜C L. Harris / 120 Gladstone St / Bedfordâ€™. See Fryâ€™s entry by Michael Billington in the Dictonary of National Biography. His brother survives as a rather shadowy figure: he was certainly alive in 1978 when Fry referred to him in the account of his family background â€˜Can You Find Me / A Family Historyâ€™ OUP. In that volume Fry describes his â€˜brother Leslieâ€™ as a baby â€˜growing sturdilyâ€™ noting that â€˜though he was later called by his first name Charles he was Leslie for many years to comeâ€™. The four years of diary entries that are present here are short and factual and rather uneventful but they have a double interest: at once casting light on the family background of one of Englandâ€™s finest twentieth-century playwrights and giving a picture of the development of an average English middle-class schoolboy around the period of the First World War as he rises to position of â€˜Head of Schoolâ€™ at Bedford. The four volumes are in fair condition aged and worn with the 1916 diary sprung from its covers at the gutter of the rear endpapers. The four volumes are uniform in embossed brown cloth described by the publisher as â€˜Art Linenâ€™ each with back loop for pencil. Each volume provides space for four daysâ€™ entries per page with numerous preliminary printed pages with the customary useful information including endpapers and other matter reflective of the conflict with maps of the Europe theatre illustrations of medals and of a â€˜soldier-â€™ and â€˜sailor-boy hero of the Great Warâ€™ the last volume carrying a â€˜Message from Admiral Sir John Jellicoe to the Readers of â€œThe Schoolboysâ€™ Diaryâ€™. In the first three volumes Harris writes in pencil filling in the diary assiduously from 1 January 1916. In the final volume by May of 1919 the entries become intermittent and on 15 August 1919 they cease entirely. In additional to the daily record Harris also provides details of â€˜Pocket Moneyâ€™ personal information including â€˜Size in Hatsâ€™ and memoranda dates of significant events such as â€˜Promoted to Lance-Corporal in the O.T.C.â€™ â€˜Received 1st XV coloursâ€™ and on 24 July 1919 â€˜Made HEAD OF SCHOOL.â€™. Loosely inserted are a few postal order counterfoils and Chatham bus tickets. The entries begin in 1916 with Harris on his school holidays doing errands for his widowed mother and reading to her and entertaining his brother â€˜Arthurâ€™ i.e. Christopher Fry for example by taking him on walks to town for a haircut and helping him with his stamp collection. The monotony of school begins repeated entries in early volumes start with â€˜School as usualâ€™ and the entries reflect the rounds of sport he is captain of the â€˜Waspsâ€™ cricket team in 1916 cadet corps bible classes exams trips to London 2 January 1919: â€˜Went over St Dunstans in morning with Jack / Uncle Walter took Jack girl Madeleine & myself up to the â€œOld Vicâ€ to see Shakespearâ€™s â€œMacbethâ€ 2.0-5.0. Jolly fine performance though a bit tragic / Left & returned by train took 1 hr each way.â€™ his health recurring toothache mumps etc the weather involvement for the war effort in agriculture 11 September 1918: â€˜Another dismal day all by myself. Have quite made up my mind to chuck farming if this goes on especially as when I was happily walking home at 4.30 I ran into more work & had to load wheat till 7.9.â€™. By 1918 the entries begin to loosen up a little. On 19 March for example: â€˜Rotten wet beastly muddy miserable day with a boil on my chin about the size of an egg & a Corps Inspection 2.30 by Lieut Col Pilkington on top of that. The rest may speak for itself. Also EII beat WII by 1/4 length.â€™ And on 10 September; â€˜G his friend Gerald often referred to & I shocked barley all the morning & then ditched until 5.30. Shocking barley is qute a decent job.â€™ The signing of the armistice 11 November 1918 is greeted with â€˜Flags all over the town bells etc. Bands in afternoon; town packed.â€™ And on the following day â€˜Whole Holiday for Armistice / Thanksgiving Service in Hall instead of Prayers.â€™ Final entry 14 August 1919: â€˜Went over St Mary Redcliffe Church in morn. More wonderful even than the Cathedral. Employed myself immensely. Went on to Downs by myself in even to hear band.â€™ 1916 to 1919, each a ‘Charles Letts School-Boy’s Diary’. At front of diaries for 1916 and 1917 he writes: ‘C L. Harris / hardcover

Franklin White (1892-1975), Australian artist, teacher at the Slade Art School, London; Harold Copping (1863-1932), artist;; LouBiblio.com

Franklin White Australian artist. 24 items from his papers including drafts and copies of his letters to the feminist Thelma Cazalet-Keir and the artist Harold Copping and an ALS to him from Louis McCubbin National Gallery of South Australia.

22281Several of White's letters on letterheads of The Reedbeds Shoreham Nr. Sevenoaks Kent. Between 1921 and 1968. Two years after arriving in England from Australia in 1913 Franklin White entered the Slade School. His studies were interrupted by the First World War during which he worked as a draughtsman at the Admiralty. In 1919 he re-entered the Slade and was soon invited by Tonks to join the teaching staff. On his retirement in 1957 he devoted his full energies to the Samuel Palmer School of Art which he had run from his home in Shoreham since 1924 when he first held summer classes in landscape painting for his Slade students. In the 1950s the school expanded to take in residential students and despite ill-health White continued his teaching through his later years. White's work is to be found in the permanent collections of a number of major galleries in Britain and Australia including the British Museum Victoria and Albert Museum the Ashmolean and the National Gallery of Australia. The present collection of material from White's papers mainly consists of drafts and copies of letters although at least one addressed to Thelma Cazalet-Keir Item Ten below would appear to be the original letter and White admitted in Item One below to a habit of writing letters and not sending them. The draft letters contain material of biographical interest with FW discussing his home and studio business affairs teaching methods. A number of items concern the setting up of his residential school at Shoreham see Items Two and Three to 'Fleming' and Eight and Nine. In the 1920s Shoreham â€“ previously the home of William Blake's disciple Samuel Palmer â€“ had become something of an artistic enclave along the lines of St Ives. The collection is in good condition with light signs of age and wear. The following description is divided into fourteen parts the first nine of which describe material in FW's autograph. ONE: Autograph draft or copy of letter to 'Mr. Holland'. 15 February 1921. On Reedbeds letterhead. 2pp. 4to. FW and his wife are 'comfortably settled' in their new home 'the new â€œReedbedsâ€' which dates from the fifteenth century: 'In sorting out and arranging letters accounts & papers I found no less than five written to you and never posted. Mr. Syrett would say he quite expected as much from me however my business methods are improving now that I have my place to arrange as suits me. I am getting on well with my work at the Slade School London University I like the work and it brings me in touch with the top people in the art world. I am selling work and get an occasional commission for a portrait and this summer I am taking a pupil at Â£4 a week and with my Â£225 a year from the Slade you see I am now able to do a little for myself. The Slade is a good thing for me as it brings me in contact with people and only takes up three days of the week the rest of the week I can devote to producing work for exhibitions & selling.' After a reference to 'Miss Fricker' he discusses his 'visits to the class': 'I should like it clearly understood that I cannot have outside people coming in while the class is in progress whether it is anyone connected with art the Education Board or Sevenoaks Counsellors or anyone else. We must treat the class with absolute seriousness or I cannot afford to give the time to it.' TWO: Part of autograph draft of letter to 'Fleming' originally 'Mr Syret'. 2 May 1921; on Reedbeds letterhead. 2pp. 4to. In what appears to be a response to a proposal from Fleming that FW find London artists to teach a class at Sevenoaks he writes: 'I am afraid you would not be able to get anyone of any standing to give up the time it would require to come all the way from town. I ventured it at the Slade the fee etc but although a desire for a better feeling in art should be encouraged they could not see how anyone could afford to give up the time. â€¦ The class of students would be very distasteful to me then of course I partly imagine & partly judge from the visit to Sevenoaks'. Nevertheless he gives conditions which would have to met for him to consider the engagement. THREE: Autograph draft or copy of letter to 'Dear Fleming'. 11 June 1921. On Reedbeds letterhead. 2pp. 4to. 'The days of Gold Medallists at the Slade were days long before the present Slade tradition and it goes for nothing at all in fact you might say that ithas nothing to do with the Slade and is more akin to the hard work done at South Kensington and other places.' FOUR: First part 1p. 4to of autograph draft or copy of letter to 'Mr. Syrett'. From the Reedbeds. Concerning the question of deductions 'from the sum received from the Richardsons' he writes: 'I do not believe for one moment that the vague artistic temperament cannot be businesslike in the very least. â€¦ I have now overcome the big <> difficulty a painter has to overcome to certain degrees to be able to work more rapidly. I find that I am developing a bigger interest in more pecuniary affairs.' FIVE and SIX: Autograph drafts of two letters to 'Mr Copping' i.e. the artist and FW's Shoreham neighbour Harold Copping 1863-1932. The first a short note. 10 February 1921; Redbeds. 1p. 4to. The second an autograph draft of the beginning of a letter. 17 February 1921; on Reedbeds letterhead. 1p. 4to. He invites the Coppings to supper 'so we can settle the question you wish settled â€¦ I consider it a rather small affair which all village matters must of necessity be in relation to life'. SEVEN: Autograph draft of letter to the owner of a cottage â€“ possibly 'the new â€œReedbedsâ€' mentioned in Item One â€“ which he appears to be looking to buy or let. 2pp. 12mo. 'I have not had a definite answer from 'Mr. Dowdy' see Item Nine about the room to work in and put my things into. If this is satisfactory I shall be able to put all my goods into the room. I am sure you will find we shall take care of everything in your cottage.' EIGHT: 12mo Reedbeds letterhead carrying parts of autograph drafts of two letters. Recto dated 13 February 1922 concerning the letting of a cottage on FW's recommendation; verso undated to a prospective student stating that 'as a number of students & others have responded to my offer I am now able to run the class at a smaller fee. A number of students came on the 11.40 Tulse Hill 11.44 Bat & Ball and others on 1.20 T.H. & 1.24 B.B. and I am able to charge 5/ per lesson for this.' NINE: Remains of 12mo notebook containing five pages of autograph notes. Undated but with printed calendars for 1918 and 1919 present. Two of the pages carry accounts with 'E E Dowdy' for whom see Item Seven and a third explains that Dowdy has agreed 'to let the room Mr. White is now using as a studio for an indefinite period at the rent of five shillings a week the said room being situated next to the Church Room Shoreham Kent'. Another page carries a draft of a letter to the parent of an 'extremely promising' pupil stating that the 'number of people who wish to have lesson from me each Wednesday has so greatly increased & . the space here is limited for the number of pupils'. TEN: Typed Letter Signed to 'Thelma' i.e. the feminist and Conservative Member of Parliament Thelma Cazalet-Keir 1899-1989. 1 May 1968. 1p. 4to. An interesting letter in which FW expresses 'shock' at the 'Raspit news' her country residence being Raspit Hill in Kent: 'Raspit Hill is a name that became very dear to us â€¦ And here I would like to tell you a secret. At the end of 1963 the school nearly came to grief and Gertrude and I were left with very little to carry on the school in 1964. But in our deepest moments of despair you came along and your cheque for Â£400 saved the school. So you and Raspit will always glow in our memory. â€¦ Mrs. Barker delivered your letter picture and blue vase this evening May 1st. I was a student with Robin Guthrie at the Slade so that I am doubley sic pleased to possess one of Guthrie's pictures. He was a splendid draughtsman at the Slade â€¦ It will be hung where it will always remind me not of Guthrie but of you.' ELEVEN: Manuscript copy not in FW's hand of 'claims for damage to two pictures sent to Shoreham Station from Canterbury'. 1p. 8vo. 8 September 1928; Reedbeds. The second claim is for '1 picture spoilt for selling & exhibition purposes glass smashed mount soiled frame damaged valued at Â£10. 10 0 say Â£8. 8 0 This pictute has been very favourably reviewed in many papers & was of increasing value to me'. TWELVE: TLS to FW from Louis McCubbin 1890-1952 Director National Gallery of South Australia Adelaide. 11 February 1949. 1p. 8vo. Regarding a member of the Gallery's board J. C.

Harrow School in Georgian Times [George Butler (1774-1853), headmaster from 1805 to 1829, and later Dean of Peterborough]:Biblio.com

Harrow School in Georgian times. Anonymous Manuscript Notebook containing lists of boys' names under various headings 'Monitors' 'Upper VI' and so on compiled under headmastership of George Butler.

25164Circa 1818. Harrow School Middlesex. This item is a nice artefact of one of England’s foremost public schools. The great rival of Eton Harrow numbers among its alumni seven prime ministers including Churchill. This notebook comprises lists of boys and their positions and classes in a particular term. The paper stock watermark and handwriting all indicate that its composition is contemporaneous with the schooling of those named. It is the work of one person almost certainly one of the school’s masters and its loose and hurried nature indicate that it was intended for personal use or as an aid in future writing. There is no internal indication of author or source but the latter is established beyond all doubt by reference to R. Courtenay Welch’s ‘Harrow School Register 1801-1893’ 1894 which shows that the notebook was compiled in the last few years of the reign of George IV and certainly during the tenure of George Butler 1774-1853 headmaster from 1805 to 1829 and later Dean of Peterborough see his entry in the Oxford DNB. As Welch explains in his introduction the early part of his register is incomplete and it is likely that the present item names individuals not present there. It is 24pp with an additional 2pp of pencil calculations and a page with a simple pencil drawing of the front parts of a horse in a stitched 7 x 8 cm notebook of watermarked laid paper in dark-blue waxed card wraps. The notebook contains thirty leaves out of an original thirty-six with a few leaves loose and one stub present. All but one of the 24pp are written on the rectos. Each page carries a list of names - sometimes as many as 21 to a page sometimes only a handful under the following headings: p.1 Monitors; pp.2 and 3 Upper VI; p.6 Upper V; p.8 Under V; p.11 Upper Shell; p.14 Under Shell; p.16 IV Form 1st Rem.; p.18 IV Form 2nd Rem.; p.20 IV Form 3d Rem.; p.21 IIId Form 1st Rem; p.22 IIId Form 2nd Rem; p.23 IIId Form 3d Rem; p.24 Unplaced. P.14 will serve as an example: ‘Under Shell / Perceval Minr / Maydwell / Smith Minor / Balfour Jun / Bradford / Graham / Park Junior / Crommelin Senr / Davidson / Gregg / Mr Dundas Junr / Winter / Elliot / Sheppard / Hammet / Macham / North Minr’. Among the mass of names many are identifiable with Welch’s aid. The following individuals were unless otherwise stated entered in 1813-15: ‘R. B. Phillipps Senr / Longworth in the County of Hereford’ is identified by Welch as Robert Biddulph Phillipps ‘son of Chancellor Phillipps’entered 1811; ‘A. Clive Esq of Whitfield’ is Archer Clive d.1878 ‘son of E. B. Clive Esq. M.P.’ entered 1811-1813; ‘Ponsford’ is William Ponsford ‘son of W. Ponsford Esq. Puddicombe Devon’; on p.3 ‘Boileau Pollen’ is George Pollen Boileau-Pollen ‘son of J. P. Boileau Esq. afterwards Boileau-Pollen’; ‘Ld Ashley’ is Anthony Ashley-Cooper Lord Ashley ‘son of the 6th Earl of Shaftesbury’; ‘Goldschmidt’ is Adolphus Goldschmidt ‘Merchant’; ‘Crommelin Senr’ is George Russell Crommelin 1803-1844 the younger Crommelin being Thomas Lake Crommelin 1805-1877; ‘Count P: Lieven’ is Count Paul Lieven ‘son of Count afterwards Prince Lieven Russian Ambassador’ 1816.

Price Weir who made use of his draughtsmanship to prepare the landing plans.
