Zustand: Good. Original manuscript/typed letter signed. The format is approximately 8 inches by 6.25 inches. Received stamped from the Royal Society of Arts dated 16 October 1914. John Brainerd Capper was a British journalist and editor; assistant editor The Times. This author wrote articles for the Dictionary of National Biogra…phy, 1927 supplement. Articles written by this author are designated in the DNB by the initials "J. B. C." In this note of Oct. 15, 1914, J. B. Capper writes Dear Sir Henry Wood, Many thanks for your kind reply to my to my [sic] question, Yours very truly, J. B. Capper. Sir Henry Trueman Wood served the Royal Society of Arts with great fidelity and sagacity for nearly half a century, was its historian and the inspirer and guide of its steady development. Born on November 12, 1845, Henry Truman Wright Wood was the eldest son of William Burton Perrse Wood and Emily Mary Roche. The elder branch of his father's family numbered some distinguished men, such as Lord Chancellor Hatherley, Western Wood and Field-Marshal Sir Evelyn Wood. Mrs. O'Shea, afterwards Mrs. Parnell, was another member of this family. Henry Trueman Wood, who lost his father when he was only seven, was educated at Harrow and Clare College, Cambridge, He took a second class in the Classical Tripos, 1868, and was Le Bas University prizeman in 1869 and 1870. He took pupils, and in 1870 obtained a clerkship for the Patent Office. After two years he resigned to do literary work and to become one of the outside "abridgers." From 1872 to 1890 he brought out several volumes of official Patent Office publications. In 1872 Sir Walter Besant recommended Wood, his connection by marriage. In 1876 young Wood was appointed assistant secretary of the society, and three years later, on the death of Mr. Le Neve Foster, he was appointed to the secretaryship. He had a talent for orderly, efficient administration. In a tenure covering nearly four decades he had the satisfaction of seeing a remarkable advance in membership, reputation, and the standard of the technical and other lectures. The various examinations conducted by the society developed from some 2,000 candidates (who paid no fees) to the vast numbers of the present day. Single sheet, typed on one side. Signed.

John Brainerd Capper was a British journalist and editor; assistant editor The Times. This author wrote articles for the Dictionary of National Biography…, 1927 supplement. Articles written by this author are designated in the DNB by the initials "J. B. C." In this letter, dated Octoberr 13, 1914, J. B. Capper writes Dear Sir Henry Wood, I find among Sir William White's papers a type-written letter from you to him on Society of Arts paper, dated Feb. t, 1906, as follow:-- Dear White, I have had your record looked up, and you may be interested to know that you took the following certificates (The follow a list of certificates taken in the years 1861-2-3) Do you happen to recollect whether this list was sent as White's own request, and for any particular purpose? I ask because there are several indications that he retained through life a certain amount of interest in preserving records of his early performance in examinations - as well he might. Pray forgive my troubling you. Yours sincerely J. B. Capper. Sir William Henry White, KCB, FRS, FRSE (2 February 1845 - 27 February 1913) was a prolific British warship designer and Chief Constructor at the Admiralty. He became an apprentice at the naval dockyard there in 1859. In 1863, he obtained a scholarship to enter the newly formed Royal School of Naval Architecture in South Kensington, in London. After his apprenticeship he worked for the Admiralty on specifications and calculations for new ships, and became secretary to the then Chief Constructor of the Admiralty, Edward Reed, until the latter's resignation on 9 July 1870. He was then appointed instructor on naval design at the Royal School of Naval Architecture, and in 1872 became secretary of the Council of Construction which oversaw all Royal Navy ship construction. From 1872-1873 he worked at Pembroke and Portsmouth Dockyards. In March 1875 he was promoted to Assistant Constructor and married later in that year. He resigned from the Admiralty in April 1883 and joined Sir William Armstrong's company as designer and manager of their warship construction. He returned to the Admiralty as Director of Naval Construction and Assistant Controller of the Navy on 1 August 1885. He was immediately involved in a reorganization of the dockyards and technical departments, and later worked on the design of the revolutionary Royal Sovereign-class battleships. He was knighted in 1895. White was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in June 1888.
