Zustand: Fine. - A 4-3/8 inch high by 3-1/4 inch wide black-and-white photographic portrait clipped from a magazine is mounted on an approximately 6 inch high by 4 inch wide cream-colored card. Inscribed and signed on the mount in black ink above and below the photo: "To Seymour Halpern / J. L. Garvin / 26 March 1930 / Gregories / Beaconsfield". Fine. A head-and shoulders portrait of Garvin seated at a desk with his arms folded over a pile of papers. The photo is inscribed to future Congressman Seymour Halpern, then a young autograph collector.James Louis Garvin [1868-1947] was a British journalist, editor and author. Garvin, who had always wanted to be an editor, was given a job as a proof reader and occasional contributor at the Newcastle Evening Chronicle. In 1908, after years of honing his skills as a journalist at various newspapers and moving to London, he accepted the editorship of the British Sunday newspaper The Observer. He revolutionized Sunday journalism and returned the paper, which was facing financial troubles at the time, to profitability. In 1921, Garvin moved to Beaconsfield, continuing to edit The Observer and starting work on a biography of his hero Joseph Chamberlain. After Churchill, an old friend, became Prime Minister in 1940, Garvin offered him unstinting support. This led to disagreements with the proprietors, the Astor family, who asked him to resign. He continued writing weekly columns, first for the Sunday Express and then the Daily Telegraph until shortly before his death in 1947.The Queens, New York Republican Congressman Seymour Halpern (1913-1997) started his political career as a campaign aide to New York's powerful mayor Fiorella La Guardia and first served in New York's State Senate for 14 years before seeking a seat in the U.S. Congress. In Albany Halpern sponsored 279 bills that became law, including measures on schools, housing, civil rights, nutrition and mental health. A Liberal, he was something of an anomaly as the lone Republican representative from New York City, and generally garnered support from Labor Unions and endorsement from the Liberal Party. Yet he never even considered switching parties as he considered membership in the Republican Party a family tradition and commitment. While he found ample time for his private pursuits, including painting and collecting autographs, he took his legislative duties very seriously. Of these, he was proudest of his co-sponsorship of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and of the original 1965 Medicare legislation. …

2pp, 12mo. In fair condition, aged and worn. Folded twice. The letter begins: 'When my Eugenic play "The Blindness of Virtue" was first produced at the Little Theatre two years ago [i.e. in 1912] (about which Dr Saleeby [i.e. eugenicist Caleb Saleeby (1878-1940)] wrote very kindly & in great agreement in the P. M. G) you were kind enough to send a member of your staff to see me for a talk.' He explains that since that time he has had the play 'in the United States & Canada where it is still running & I have many more things to say about it & those places'. He suggests a meeting at the Ambassadors Theatre, where he has a production, one morning that week. He ends with 'great admiration for your wonderful work for our Georgeridden country'. Pencil note at head: 'We'd better do this. RB'. The writer of the note is identified, in another pencil hand, as Robert Bell, the recipient named as F. A. H. Eyles.…

Asks if Ward can 'chalk out an excursion' for them, '& perhaps accompany us, to some place like Cobham [regularly visited by Ward], where we would see English Scenery, and gather good English plants'. He wonders whether Dover is accessible from London 'in the course of a day's trip'. 'As usual my time will be very limited, [.]'.…

3pp., 12mo. Bifolium. In fair condition, on aged and unevenly-sunned paper. He begins by giving six numbered points which 'will do for the Introduction' to a prospectus for a magazine. The first reads: 'The biographical & archaeological portion of the Magazine will be placed under the superintendance of the Revd Professor Christmas, M.A. F.R.S.' The succeeding points refer to other sections, with the names of those in charge of three of them added later: 'Biblical Illustrations and religious information' ('Mr Power'); 'Natural History & General Science' ('Mr Wood'); 'Literature and Poetry Reviews' (' Baynes'). He considers it 'quite necessary to have some name for each of the above but especially nos II & III'. He concludes: 'written to Messrs Wood & Morris', but does not have their addresses. 'with regard to Poetry I would say | A series of poems chiefly original and chosen, when selected, from the works of the most gifted writers of Devotional Poetry will appear in the successive numbers of the Magazine under the title of "Lyra Evangelica" It is contemplated after a certain time to form these into a volume - which it is hoped may be acceptable to the Christian Church'. Christmas edited the Church of England Quarterly Review (1840-1843 and 1854-1858), The Churchman (1840-1843), the British Churchman (1845-1848), and the Literary Gazette (1859-1860).…

Coleridge was the nephew of the poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge. See his entry, and that of Cranworth, in the Oxford DNB. The letter relates to Palmerston's first ministry. 1p, 16mo (cut down to a 12 x 10 cm piece of wove paper). In fair condition, lightly aged and discoloured, with traces of glue from mount adhering to one edge of blank reverse. Signing himself 'J. T C', Coleridge writes: 'My dear Awdry / I have been with the Chancellor in consequence of the above - & promised to send him a minute in writing - where we have had trouble. Can you help me with your recollection. / In haste. / Yours ever / J. T C'. The context is partially explained by seven lines from a letter in Cranworth's autograph surviving on the reverse: '[.] am told that you can give me some hints as to parts of the bill not working well - or not likely to work well - When can I see you - Could you look in at the house of Lords tomorrow [.]'.…

Westmacott was notorious for accepting money for the suppression of stories: Michael Sadleir has described him as 'the principal blackmailing editor of his day'. The present communication may be related to the scandal surrounding the death of Graves's father the previous year: he had committed suicide on learning that his wife (mother of the couple's twelve children) was having an affair with the Duke of Cumberland. 1p, 12m. Folded twice. In fair condition, lightly aged.

12mo, 4 pp. 61 lines. Text clear and complete. Good, on lightly-aged paper. An impressive letter applying for work. He does not expect Massingham (addressed as 'W. H. Massingham') to remember their meeting 'in the Lobby' when he was 'chief reporter on The Sun', while at the same time holding 'a Parliamentary engagement on the staff of the C. N.' Gives details of his subsequent employment, including joining the editorial staff of the 'Manchester Guardian' ('principally to look after their weekly paper which was in a sad way. I prolonged its existence rather than gave fresh life to it & in May last it died.') For the last four months he has been 'in Asia Minor & Syria seeing something of the disturbed country - an interview of mine with Sir Phillip Currie is to appear in the English Illustrated - & getting material which I hope may be useful to me'. He is 'now back in London extremely anxious to get back in the Press Gallery'. A 'descriptive writer' is more than he can hope for, and he would like to 'secure a sessional engagement on the reporting staff of the Daily Chronicle'. He is a 'verbatim note taker' and 'a good summary writer', and is 'well acquainted with Parliamentary work'. Names six individuals 'who know what sort of journalist I am', including Clement Shorter and T. P. O'Connor. As 'a young man & a Radical', he would 'prefer the Daily Chronicle, especially as it is also a literary paper'. Being 'a magazine writer' does not prevent him from 'being a reporter'. He is 'no novice to Parliamentary reporting for it is only eighteen months since I left it'.…
