See her entry in the Oxford DNB. An interesting letter, whose circumstances are intriguing. 3pp, 12mo. On two leaves of letterheaded paper. In pencil. From the Asquith papers, and possibly a draft letter to her son Anthony ('Puffin'). In good condition, lightly creased. Folded once. The signature is a short squiggle. The handwriting is challenging, and the following interpretation is tentative. She begins: 'My Darling, I felt rather guilty after leaving you about abusing yr. love of blue in yr. pictures. - I can see that nothing I say can alter yr. love of this colour, & I hate hurting yr. feelings all the same I wish you wd try once to do an oil sketch of white on white like S[?] P[uff?]'s head where no one but S[?] wd. have put his thistle-down hair on a white background. I long for you to do a wild sketch of flowers quite unfinished, as you cd. do it on yr. head "Avoid l'illustration" as Image [the artist Selwyn Image (1849-1930)] said to me. It was lovely seeing thee so well & warm in yr. lovely shelter, my [back?] so nice on yr. little head. Do a few short paragraphs for me & send them to La Dame de Vie. I was 10 years out in Chardins birth! - [?] safe to try my head against yours in dates! - Just off to [?]' Postscript appears to read: 'Cssh me the xtra [sic] sending Times article here'.…

2. London, Barrie and Jenkins, 1982, in-4°, 27 cm, 264 pp, index, black/white and some coloured ills., publisher's blue cloth with dustwrapper.

1p, 4to. On leaf of aged, worn and creased cartridge paper. Addressed to 'A. T. Q. C., | Care of The Editor of | The Speaker, 115, Fleet Street, E.C., London.' An interesting letter, touching on English and American journalistic practice, 'sensational' copy, plagiarism and fin-de-siècle Paris. The context is not entirely clear: one reading is that the recipient reported on or reproduced in the Fleet Street newspaper the Speaker one of Heilig's 'sensational letters to the American Sunday papers', only to have it 'cribbed' by Pearson's Weekly. Heilig begins: 'Dear Sir, | I was so amused to compare your own text with that of your robber's, in a recent number of The Speaker, enclosed. In the one case it was a stolen ruby or flute or piano or [spade?]. In the present it is some stolen skeletons. My business of writing sensational letters to the American Sunday papers does not hold me to any crazy accuracy. The editors trust me, they allow me to paint the lily.' He explains that 'In the Cabaret du Neant there are really no skeletons sitting about, or, at most, one in miniature upon a shelf. I thought there ought to be skeletons sitting around, so I put them in.' He explains that 'The "P. W. man", going towards the Montmartre hill (in full Montmartre!) saw these skeletons "lounging on benches" and some which stood about and snapped their jaws a frequent intervals.' He explains that another passage 'has no place in the patter of the show. I took it bodily from their first advertising sheet, a journal called "La Mort".' He begins the final paragraph by explaining that he knows 'little of London and nothing of Pearson's Weekly', but that it has occurred to him that 'there may be something even yet more amusing behind their offers of twenty guineas etc.' He believes that 'one of the uses of these offers is to give the editors a screen behind which to protect themselves from even the appearance of evil. They can always say: "The thing was sent in to us. We regret it." Nevertheless I fancy the cribbing is done regularly in their own offices, by paid clerks.'.…

2pp., 4to. Bifolium. Good, on lightly-aged paper. Addressed by Elton, on reverse of second leaf, to 'John Taylor Esq.' (Taylor had assumed the editorship of the London Magazine on the death by duel of John Scott in February 1821.) Elton begins by informing Taylor that he has 'not been able yet to manage the Batrachomyomachia to my mind'. (Elton's translation of 'The Battle of the Frogs and Mice' would appear anonymously in the issue of October 1821, as the second of a series named 'Leisure Hours'.) He has instead 'sent some chit-chat to serve as an introduction'. ('On Homer's Battle of the Frogs and Mice' appeared in September 1821 as the first of the series.) He intends this as 'the first of occasional desultory papers of criticism, poetry, or the like: a specimen or two of the Battle of Frogs may form the second of the series'. Changing the subject, he now declines two books Taylor has sent him to review: he feels that too much has already been said about Madame de Stael, and he has 'already administered the ferula to her somewhat roughly'. He is 'equally diffident about Bonaparte's literary character', and asks whether 'Mr Hazlitt, or Leigh Hunt' are not 'the fittest men to undertake it'. He feels that to 'enter fully' into Taylor's 'plan relative to the Monthly Literature seems to require the interchange of sentiments in conversation', and that this is 'one of the disadvantages of a periodical contributor residing in the country'. He suspects that 'a London domicile' is 'necessary for the convenient and ready arrangement and execution of this sort of monthly summary'. He has been 'thinking of some regular supply of poetry, translated or original, independent of the incidental passages in the Leisure Hours', but has not yet 'ascertained either my plan or my powers'. In the first part of a postscript, he asks 'What is Knickerbocker? [Washington Irving] & is he worth reviewing?' This appears to be a reference to a footnote to the 'Epistle to Elia' by 'OLEN', published in the August 1821 issue of the London Magazine; the footnote also discusses two readings of that poem, thanks Taylor 'for the Magazine', and ends 'It is a pity the writer who so ably reviewed Crabbe, does not continue his "Series of Living Poets.".…
