In den WarenkorbBoth 1p., 8vo. In good condition, lightly aged and worn, with paperclip stain to first letter. Unusual signature, in block capitals. Both addressed to Brooks at the Savage Club, with both salutations to 'Collin'. ONE: 18 April 1947. Begins: 'My dear Collin, | I consulted my firend in the Process Department here and he said that…a half-tone block would not be very successful, as there is a dash of colour in the picture and the half-tone would not bring it out very well. He thought that a photograph on a piece of Matt bromide paper would look much better and not spoil the detail of the drawing. | So our photographer made a negative and I had a print made on the bromide paper, which I enclose with my compliments. | This is straight from the horse's mouth, Sir! There are other horses, I know, and if you feel that you would like to adjourn to other stables I shall quite understand.' He ends with a discussion of a couple of practical matters. TWO: 9 May 1947. He is enclosing the negative, and apologises for the delay: 'This has no connection with my artistic temperament I really have been unusually busy lately.' THREE: Carbon copy of typed letter from Brooks to Strube. 18 April 1947. 1p., 8vo. One edge frayed. Letter of thanks, beginning: 'When I left you, somewhat abruptly, at the lunch-table today, I went to the Northwest Room for the glass of port which my doctor insists that I take after each meal, hoping you would soon join us. As you did not join us, I picked up from Jack's box the parcel, the print, and your letter.' Strube was the highest paid 'journalist' in Fleet Street, on a salary of £10,000 a year. See his biography by Timothy S. Benson.

In den WarenkorbONE: ALS from Dark to Brooks. The handwriting is quite atrocious, and the present transcription is at points tentative. Dark begins by recalling that at 'the delightful & very alcoholic Savage lunch' (i.e. lunch at the Savage Club), Brooks 'suggested that I should write an article for Truth. Perhaps because of the super-abundant… alcoholic I have clean forgotten what the article was to he about. If you haven't & still want it, I might be able to write it.' The penultimate sentence is, to this cataloguer at least, indecipherable, apart from the words 'of course in a public sense'. The letter ends: 'I vastly enjoyed our lunch.' TWO: Carbon of Brooks's reply. 22 May 1947. 1p., 4to. A waggish response, beginning: 'The long delay in answering your letter was caused, as you may have guessed, by my suffering your own disability and not being able to recall the topic. I queried Reginald Pound, who said he would ask his sub-conscious to remind us all, but after some nights and days of effort his sub-conscious has failed to respond. I know it was something on which you expressed strong views but, as you have strong views on so many things, I have quite honestly forgotten what it was!' He asks him to 'take the twelve hundred words' and choose his own topic, adding, 'We are an open forum'. Dark would be 'under no repressions outside the laws affecting defamation'. Dark 'could even write on "What I Object to in TRUTH", or "Where William Temple Was Wrong"'.

In den Warenkorb1p., 4to. In good condition, lightly aged. Signed 'Cyril Joad'. Written in the same month as Britain and France had declared war, the letter begins: 'I don't know whether you are still running the Sunday Dispatch, but if you are, how about an article on the philosophy which underlies the Nazi rule in Germany? Till war broke out…one had to soft-pedal one's views of these monstrous ideas, but now that it has come, one can take off the muzzle and say what one likes.' He outlines the 'main heads' of his article: 'theory of the State, theory of the relation of the individual to the State, theory of the whole duty of man, theory of the whole duty of woman, views as to the education of children, views as to the divinity of Hitler, views as to the secret [last word in autograph] mission of Germans, views as to the non-human character of all non-Aryans'. He has compiled a 'list of charming quotations from Nazi writers and speakers on these subjects', and the whole would make a 'keen article, partly amused (e.g. "Hitler is lonely; so is God. Hitler is like God."), partly horrified (e.g. "Justice and Hitler's will are one and the same thing."), and wholly denunciatory.' In an autograph postscript he writes: 'If you are not running the Dispatch, how are you and what are you doing and are you ever at the Savage [Club]?'.

In den WarenkorbFive documents. The two telegrams are in fair condition, lightly aged and worn; the other items are in good condition. A photocopy of a typed page from Brooks's diary explains the context in entertaining fashion: '"Staggerer number one," whispered Dick Swiveller over my shoulder this morning when on my office desk I found a lett…er from Ronald Staples giving me a twelve month's statutory notice of dismissal from the editorship of Truth.' He explains that the magazine is losing money, and criticises Staples's plans. 'However here's a how-de-do! Unless I sell my Statist holding very soon, I'll be bankrupt, and now with no job to keep me in roof and oddments. I immediately wrote to Beaverbrook, who is in the Barbadoes. [.] I anticipate no help from that quarter, for many reasons, and will next have to try Hulton. The prospect of going back to slave-journalism is no pleasant [one] within a month of one's fifty-ninth birthday'. Next comes a typed copy of a letter from Staples to Brooks, 27 November 1952, beginning: 'When I first had the pleasure of meeting you on the subject of TRUTH you kindly said you would be willing to carry on the editorship "for as long or as short a period" as I wished up to three years.' He continues with reference to his 'serious illness', before stating that 'we are losing money rapidly and we feel that we should re-organise and change the format and size but not the character of the paper. We feel that the re-organisation will include an eventual change in the editorship. We know you will not regard it as unappreciative therefore if we ask you to please regard this letter as a formal twelve month notice of the termination of the engagement.' The next item is a carbon of Brooks's letter to Beaverbrook, 28 November 1952. He explains that he has to leave Truth, but has 'still to earn a livelihood. | Is there any possibility of your being able to fit me into your organisation? | I ask this not on grounds of personal friendship, but because I am an experienced leader-writer, feature-writer, literary critic and commentator, with some "following." He concludes: 'This request, I trust, will not embarrass you.' Beaverbook's response is a Post Office Cable & Wireless telegram, 5 December [1952] (capitals reduced): 'Letter received stop I would like it stop Please see Robertson | Max'. The fifth item is unconnected: a Cable & Wireless telegram, 24 December 1950: 'My dear Collin very many thanks for your good message and also for your goodwill and good friendship | Maxwell Beaverbrook'.

In den WarenkorbSee Knox's obituary, Times, 4 May 1977 (which refers to 'some passages at arms' he had at the BBC with Sir John Reith). 3pp., 4to. In good condition, lightly aged, with minor staining from paperclip. An interesting glimpse into the world of Fleet Street 'big salaries' during the war period. He begins: 'My dear Collin Brooks, | A… letter such as yours, from a man such as yourself for whom I have so strong a personal, and professional, regard comes as a gleam of blue in a darkish sky.' He proceeds to bemoan his sacking by the Daily Mail: 'Yes, it is a bad business. Six months ago, having had two cracking offers, I asked the Mail people if they were not renewing my contract would they tell me. [] Then ten days ago Prew, the Editor, who is but a mouthpiece for Stanley Bell, sent for me and said just this "Papers are so small. Your work needs Space. You are still our star writer, but as your salary is so big we tell you we cannot renew your contract". Not a word of thanks, of appreciation of my work, no regret . . . just given three weeks notice like a housemaid. It is odd for me to recall that I was told officially a year or so ago that my work had put about 200,000 on the circulation! | Well, there it is. It is not pleasant having £4,000 a year swept away from under one in the middle of a war . . And yet, I have a strange feeling of freedom, of relief from serving people who are utterly inhuman, ungrateful, and who seem to me in their outlook and action to typify all we are fighting Against'. He discusses his agent 'Mr A S Watt', and the 'old offers from Beaverbrook and Kemsley', which 'do not hold good now . . small papers etc'. 'It is some consolation that the Street and the Mail staff appear to think that R [i.e. Rothermere] and Bell have gone mad. He asks if Brooks knows 'Brown of the Amalgamated Press, or could say a word to Beaverbrook, or Kemsley . . or even Robertson of the Express group'. He concludes: 'But big salaries are over, I know . . for the war. But I would be glad of a job in which I could do my damnest [sic] for people who would treat me properly.' The autograph postscript concerns his forthcoming 'War book called "Heroes All" (Hodder & Stoughton)', regarding which 'the Ministry of Information are keen [] specially for America'. After the war Knox returned to the Daily Mail, and remained there until 1955. Such was Knox's celebrithy that his name, according to Patridge, was used as rhyming slang for 'pox'.
