Four-pages bifolium, fold marks, good condition. Holmes letter copied by Sabatier to Hutchinson, and with substantial added material also by Sabatier, 2pp., folio; Sabatier added the note to Hutchinson, p.3, "A cross grained business has happened in the appointment which will occasion a temporary delay; Hutchinson's address appears on page four with a note (presumably in Hutchinson's hand), "Willm Sabatier Esq. April & May 09 - Correspondence with Mr Holmes & Amory respecting eastern Lands - Mode of dividing the produce &c." Holmes explains that he was unable to make contact with Hutchinson via Halifax "in season". He had tried a channel through Amory "last fall" but it obviously didn't arrive. A suit/trial had a favourable result, but led to settlers making different arrangements for purchase (of land), some through the "Coxhall proprietors" [phrase crops up on Googlebooks, without further illumination]. Holmes has commenced legal action like the former suit against them, but as plaintiffs not as was, defendants. When the "Coxhall Proprietors" have finished, he will send their money. He has "$2000 in notes on interest for lands sold" and more. But "The [additional] notes I have omitted to collect because the situation between the two countries are such that collections and remittances are equally difficult. [Here Sabatier adds a four-line note saying how the business hangs by a thread and might be lost. " Speaking obviously of Americans, he says, "With a few exceptions, it is a nation of ______[expletive deleted, I should think] and Mr H. seems to think as much. If you write be cautious. - WS." The Holmes letter continues. warning how unsafe it would be to transmit the proceeds, making suggestions about discussions with the Coxhall Proprietors to avoid expense etc. He reveals that he intends to "proceed to claim all the land to which the heirs of Peleg Sandford [Governor of Rhode Island, d.1701; Thomas Hutchinson married his daughter, hence inherited estate] are entitled, taking care not to lose more than he gains." He suggests they meet in Boston in spring "provided the contemptible disputes of the two countries should not interfere." Sabatier adds a long note at this point referring to the "hornet's nest" and outlining what he will write to Holmes. Holmes adds material about his agency and the situation of the settlers vs. heirs, asking Sabatier to send a copy of the letter to Hutchinson. Notes: a. 'In 1817 Lord Dalhousie [Ramsay*], then lieutenant governor of Nova Scotia, said of William Sabatier: "I think him very intelligent, inquisitive, and instructing on the history and commerce of this part of the New World. Here [in Halifax] he is considered a meddling 'Busy Body' in all concerns whether public or private." ' (Dictionary of Canadian Biography); b. Thomas Hutchinson, Jr, (1772-1837), barrister, grandson of Loyalist Governor being kept in touch of American affairs; c. John Holmes "In 1816, Holmes was one of the commissioners under the Treaty of Ghent to divide the islands of Passamaquoddy Bay between the United States and Great Britain. He was also appointed by the legislature to organize state prisons and revise the Massachusetts criminal code." (see Wikipedia for more of his distinguished career).…

Two very interesting unpublished documents, the first giving an assessment of Churchill by a colleague who worked closely with him throughout the Second World War, and the second describing the important part that individual himself played in the logistical management of the war, from before Dunkirk to after D-Day. This material is from Sir Noel Galway Holmes's private papers, another batch of which, comprising confidential reports on him, recommendations by superior officers, and particulars of his service, is offered separately. Considering Holmes's central position in Churchill's war entourage, and his pivotal role in the logistical management of the Second World War (as described in Item Two below), it is unaccountable that he should not have been accorded a proper biographical account, other than an obituary in the Daily Telegraph, 29 December 1982, and entry in Who Was Who. His career was highly distinguished, as his decorations suggest. He joined the army in 1910, served in France during the First World War, and in India between the wars. During the Second World War he was Deputy-Quarter-Master-General (Movements) at the War Office, in which capacity he attended most of the allied conferences, including Yalta and Potsdam. (See the quotation he gives from Sir R. M. Weeks regarding his wartime work at Item Three below) At the end of the war he spent a few months as commander of Aldershot before retiring from the army in 1946. The three items here are in fair condition, with light signs of age and wear, but clear and complete. ONE: Autograph rough draft of notes towards an autobiographical account, largely concerned with NGH's relationship with Churchill. 6pp, 12mo. On six leaves, stapled together, with first three leaves numbered 1-3. In good condition, lightly aged, with pin holes at top left of the six leaves, and speck of rust spotting to the first leaf. A few deletions and emendations. Begins: 'War Office Aug 39 as D[irector] of M[ovement]' | later D Aug (M) until 1946. A longer spell than any Reg officer / Responsible for all movement men & material by Land sea & road / Attended Conferences abroad as advisor to C of Staff on movement matters. No use arranging for battles if there were not the movement facilities to get the chaps & stores there & be able to maintain them. / Personal shipping lazy dry cargo shipping very short'. A dated list of a few of the conferences he attended follows, and written near it in the margin: 'Not many of the more senior officers alive today who attended these conferences'. This is followed by the meat of the document: 'Roosevelt [corrected from 'Rosefelt'] died after Yalta & Truman attended Potsdam. / Joe [i.e. Stalin] made great efforts to pall up to Winston as Truman was new: at these various conferences I had the good fortune to meet the Head Statesmen of the countries concerned & I naturally came into contact with W. S. [i.e. Churchill] both in London & at the conferences. / By His courage fortitude determination energy charm & thoughtfullness [sic] he instilled confidence into all those who worked with or near him. He never seemed to think of failure not even at Dunkirk. He never liked no for an answer & I had experience of this at Chequers. He had a conference in Oct '42. [in margin '8 Nov 42'] to try & advance the landing in N aftrica so as not to interfere with Ranadan [sic] - Allan Brooke Ike - Clarke Beath Smyth Eden & Ismay. I had to say that all arrangements have been made & ships in position & some have left & I said it could not be done - / He naturally did not like the reply but I was glad the Brooke & Ike agreed / This was our first big offensive landing he had me in a month before sail asking details / When the landing in N. Africa had taken place W. S. sent me the following [text not present - presumably to be added later] / Some years after the war W. S. came up to Sheffield for the M. C. Dinner as P. Guest. I was then Chairman of the Yorkshire coal fields. In the P.…
