Manuskript / Papierantiquität
See his entry in the Oxford DNB. The first letter 2pp, 12mo; the other three 1p, 12mo. All four items in good condition, lightly aged; and all four folded once. Each with the stylized signature Trenchard Cox . None of the four gives the year, but the first is noted in pencil as being replied to on 14 January 1971, and the last is accompanied by its envelope, with 1972 postmark, addressed by Cox to Peter Wiener Esqr / 2 Napoleon Road / RAMSGATE . The middle two are from the same period as the fourth. ONE (12 January [1971]): He is flattered by Wiener s kind invitation , which he accepts in principle . He gives reasons why a date in 1972 would be preferable ( I shall be in USA in October 1971! ), suggesting 7 March 1972, adding: I think that it would be wise to choose a time when the worst of the winter is likely to be over. He suggests talking about the Victoria and Albert Museum, its history and its collections . No fee necessary, but travel expenses accepted: 2nd class ticket return London - Ramsgate - London. TWO (22 February [1972]): He will be bringing lots of slides and will catch the 15.10 from Victoria. Nothing could be easier. He asks about the return trains: I expect that there is one before midnight! As my wife has been very ill, I do not want to leave her for longer than necessary. THREE (3 March [1972]): He is looking forward to the following Tuesday ( My lecture will last about an hour. )x, but is still worried about his wife, whom he does not wish to leave for the night unless absolutely necessary. FOUR (8 March [1972]): He returned home safely, and enriched by the pleasure of my visit to Ramsgate. It was a very happy occasion for me. He asks to be remembered to Wiener s wife and Mrs Hinds , and is very grateful for you kind welcome to me .
