Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. All the following contained in a grey card file. 3 original signed letters from Michael Holroyd to Neville Braybrooke. The first two addressed from 7 St Mary's Grove, Barnes London S.W.13 dated 8th April 1971 and 15th March 1972 and the final one written on headed notepaper from 39 Studdridge Street London SW6 dated 16 July 1974. The first consisting of about 175 words encloses letters and telegrams from Ackerley to Lytton Strachey (not present) and the letter Ackerley wrote to him in 1963 see below. He suggests another contact and says he is looking forward to the collection. He mentions meeting Ackerley after he wrote his letter 'and he was very kind.' Finally he praises Braybrooke's review of William Gerhardie's 'The Polyglots' and 'Of Mortal Love'. Holroyd championed Gerhardie's works. The second longer letter consisting of about 450 words provides details of whom to get permission from for use of the Strachey letters and other useful contacts and information, he guesses at why Strachey's broadcast at the B.B.C. was called off and says, 'Augustus plods on incredibly slowly.' He ends with a reference to William [Gerhardie] Ð 'the relish with which he tossed down that frightful Gerhardie cocktail is still appallingly vivid.' In the third letter consisting of about 112 words Holroyd says he is looking forward to the Ackerley Letters enormously and that acknowledgement should be to the Strachey Trust. He says 'Yes, it is sad news of William [Gerhardie].' Holroyd has gathered he doesn't want to see people so he is focusing on promoting his work instead. He ends 'I hope Augustus John won't disappoint you.' 5 copies of the same typed letter from J. R. Ackerley to Michael Holroyd, the first copy has corrections and additional notes, some handwritten. A4. pp. 10., recto only., addressed from 17 Star & Garter Mansions, Putney, S.W.15. dated 7/6/63 and consisting of about 380 words in which Ackerley says his memory is so poor he can't recall how many times he visited Ham Spray, probably no more than twice. He does have two letters from Lytton Strachey, one inviting him there and the other about an audition the B.B.C gave him in which he apologises for 'what I fear was a churlish silence', but unfortunately the mice have eaten the penultimate word. Sir Michael Holroyd (born 1935) the renowned biographer of Lytton Strachey, Augustus John and Bernard Shaw. Neville Braybrooke (1923-2001) was a poet, writer, editor and publisher. Joe Randolph Ackerley (1896-1967) writer and poet and literary editor of 'The Listener'. He exchanged letters with numerous writers of note for forty years and was openly gay at a time when it was forbidden by law. Very good. Very good.…

Zustand: Very Good. Typed copies of J. R. Ackerley's letters to Fred Urquhart contained in a light brown file. 25.5 x 21 cm. pp. 31. Numbered 1-42 in pen (includes one letter from Urquhart to Ackerley not photocopied) and with handwritten notes attached. Occasional markings and comments in pen. The correspondence centres on Ackerley's continual criticism and rejection of Urquhart's work, however his comments are not entirely without encouragement. Typed signed letter from Fred Urquhart to Neville Braybrooke addressed from Spring Garden Cottage, Fairwarp, Uckfield, Sussex dated 20th April 1971 and consisting of about 545 words in which he says he has only just learnt that Braybrooke is in the final stages of editing his book on Ackerley's letters. He says he has numerous letters from Ackerley but they are in some disorder and would take him time to sort out. 'He gave me great encouragement as well as much well-needed criticism, when I was writing my early stories in the 1930s.' He adds that he did eventually publish one called Alicky's Watch in The Listener. He says he thinks some of his Ackerley letters may have gone to the University of Texas who had started to buy his original MSS and literary papers. On looking through one of his boxes that morning he finds letters from John Lehmann, Edwin Muir, Francis King, Edward Garnett and 'God knows how many others.' Typed signed letter with a handwritten addition from Fred Urquhart to Neville Braybrooke addressed as above dated 5th May 1971 and consisting of about 700 words in which he says he has found 41 Ackerley items. 'Some are letters, some are notes, a few are just words on rejection slips.' He says most date from the late 1930s and the last consists of a few words on a rejection slip dated 1950. He suggests two items should be read in conjunction with the letters, one is a draft of part of a letter from himself to Ackerley answering some questions and the other is a note from Maurice Ashley, Ackerley's deputy at The Listener, accepting his story Alicky's Watch, 'a little ironic that it happened when Ackerley was away.' He then goes into detail about letters from other people and says only one Ackerley letter went to Texas. In his handwritten addition he apologises for the fact his letter to Braybrooke c/oThe Spectator never reached him and says he appreciated the review. Handwritten signed letter from Fred Urquhart to Neville Braybrooke written on headed notepaper addressed as above (name of cottage altered by hand) dated 1st August 1971 and consisting of about 190 words in which he thanks Braybrooke for returning the Ackerley letters and says he was sorry to miss him. He is extremely busy with work on the paste-up of Dents' Dictionary of fictional characters and doesn't think he'll get to London in the near future. Fred Urquhart (1912-1995) Scottish short story writer who Orwell praised for his 'remarkable gift for constructing neat stories with convincing dialogue.' For many years he lived in East Sussex with his companion, the dancer Peter Wyndham Allen. Joe Randolph Ackerley (1896-1967) writer and poet and literary editor of The Listener. He exchanged letters with numerous writers of note for forty years and was openly gay at a time when it was forbidden by law. Neville Braybrooke (1923-2001) was a poet, writer, editor and publisher.
