The six items in good condition, lightly-aged and with slight rust spotting. Four of the letters concern an exhibition of the CUP's work at the Bumpus store, 350 Oxford Street. Lewis's four letters are all signed 'W. Lewis' and on his own CUP letterhead. One: 24 September 1931. 2pp., 8vo. In reply to Wilson's congratulations over the exhibition he informs him that he will be sending his son ('subject of course to your consent'), 'who has been in the printing [sic] now for two years and should know something of types. I have heard some criticisms of the Oxford Exhibition and several turned on the fact that nobody was there to be able to tell them about types, and therefore after next week I shall come up at least once a week and be available for that type of enquiry'. The rest of the letter concerns 'the little label for your correspondence' and 'a proof of the card all in black'. Two: 9 November 1941. 1p., 8vo. 'Its [sic] just like you to put the final touch to an interesting event. Frankly I have had little to do with it and the real credit lies between you and our publishing department and in that order. That it will do good I am sure. Practically every day I get some reference to it by our correspondents and the accumulative effect will I am sure be great. A lot of it has been good sound criticism which is good for the Press and printing generally.' Three: 3 May 1932. 1p., 8vo. 'You really are a wonderful fellow. Only you would think of sending me a telegram. I've never had one before from anyone and it comes as a delightful surprise. I felt pleased with the book, but now I am ready to swank about it.' Four: 5 July 1932. 1p., 8vo. He congratulates him on 'the Lewis Carroll Exhibition': 'How you do it I don't know. I only hope all publishers and printers appreciate how much you are doing for their respective trades. One cannot expect to see immediate benefit but I am sure the effect is cumulative and I do feel personally how much this Press is indebted for the work you put in all these Exhibtions.' Five: Kingsford (as Assistant Manager of the London branch of the CUP) to Wilson. 24 September 1931. On CUP letterhead, Fetter Lane, London. Signed 'R. J. L. Kingsford'. 1p., 8vo. 'How very nice of you to write me a line about the opening of the Exhibition! I thoroughly enjoyed the fortnight I spent in the Old Court House, and I am glad that you were pleased with everything.' He ends by stating that he is contacting the Jewish Chronicle about the exhibition. Six: Roberts to WIlson. 9 November 1931. Signed 'S. C. Roberts'. 1p., 4to. 'I [.] fully reciprocate your feelings about the Exhibition. I am quite sure that it has been of real service to the Press and I hope that your firm too has reaped some advantage from it. | The Syndics are extremely grateful to you for the opportunity which you have given them of displaying their books and it is especially satisfactory to reflect that all members of your staff and our own have worked in such cordial co-operation throughout the period of the Exhibition.'.…

Fine Binding. Zustand: Very Good Indeed. A unique selection of correspondence between parapsychologist and archaeologist TC Lethbridge and his lifelong friend CF Tebbutt. A scarce survival, including unpublished book typescripts. From the library of John Gadd, whose name plate is to all volumes. Gadd has written an introductory excerpt to the front pastedown of the clamshell box containing the letters. In it he explains how he came to acquire this large selection of letters in March 1981 after visiting Fred Tebbutt in order to get some background detail on T.C Lethbridge and extra-sensory perception. Lethbridge argued rays of energy are transmitted from every object, and that they can be detected using pendulum dowsing. Lethbridge had taught Tebbutt how to dowse and he demonstrated this to a sceptical Gadd. To his note he writes 'I don't know how it is done, and am still only partially convinced to this day, but I saw what happened with my own eyes. One of the most amazing, and disturbing, days in my life!' Tebbutt gifted Gadd T.CL's letters and the letters Mrs Lethbridge gave him so they wouldn't get lost.1. The large clamshell box forms the correspondence between Tebbutt and Lethbridge. However, there are also extracts from the posthumously published 'The Power of the Pendulum', a newspaper eulogy of a fellow archaeologist Professor Sir Grahame Clark (discussed in letter 7) and the eulogy of Fred Tebbutt. There is also correspondence between John Gadd and the Tebbutts regarding their meeting.John Gadd has written a contents list of the letters which date from 22 July 1995 - 25 Nov 1970. There are 23 letters from Lethbridge to Fred Tebbutt in this box total. Several retain their original envelopes. There are also 24 letters signed from Tebbutt to Lethbridge from a similar time period.Subjects discussed include Lethbridge's book 'Witches: Investigating an Ancient Religion', the Pendulum effect on Rowan and Elder and dating items with pendulums. One of the letters includes Lethbridge's drawings of Saxon objects he has dated with pendulums.2. A collection of short stories by Lethbridge. The stories were originally written in 1951 and are the first psychic experiences he wrote down on paper. Here bound together are the original typescripts. Attached to all but one of the stories are commentary slips by James Whittaker of Melrose publishing house, who was a friend and correspondent of Lethbridge. Loosely inserted to the start of this volume is a letter from Whittaker to Lethbridge regarding the publication of these stories. Whittaker was lukewarm towards the stories and said they needed more work. Lethbridge later submitted the typescript to another friend in publishing, Colin Franklin, of Routledge, Kegan Paul. Franklin persuaded Lathbridge to use them as factual instead of imaginary examples of psychic phenomena. He did this and these stories were published in the E.S.P work 'Ghost and Ghoul'. John Gadd indicates which of these short stories are the writings from 'Ghost and Ghoul' at the start of this book, which assists comparison.3. 'Ivory Tower: Reminiscences of Archaeology at Cambridge 1920-1950' an unpublished autobiography manuscript written c1971. Tipped in to the start of this bound typescript is a letter from the under-librarian at the University of Cambridge requesting a xerox copy of his manuscript of 'Ivory Tower' for their archives. They state that a deposit would not be available for public consultation until 1990. A note written to the bottom of the letter states 'said he would file a copy'. Lethbridge was at one-time the Honorary Keeper of Anglo Saxon Antiquities at the Cambridge University of Archaeology and Ethnology at Downing Street, Cambridge. Gadd writes in his introduction to the manuscript that although it is regarded an autobiography 'it becomes obvious that this manuscript is very much about other people'. Tipped in is also a rejection letter from Curtis Brown to Lethbridge regarding the publication of 'The Ivory Tower'.4. An unpublished types. None (illustrator). book. …
