See the entry on the Murray family in the Oxford DNB. In fair condition lightly aged and worn. Folded for postage, with short closed tears to the edges of central horizontal fold. Small biographical slip laid down at top left. Addressed to 'Dear Colonel Fellows' and signed 'John Murray junr.' Reads: 'Our binders have done the best they can with your Volumes, short of rebinding, but as you know patching up leather bindings in a really satisfactory way is not easy. / However, I hope that you will be satisfied with the volumes which I am sending on to you today.'. …

12mo, 4 pp. 40 lines. Text clear and complete. Good, on lightly-aged paper. Addressed to 'My dear Spencer'. He is sorry to have missed Childers: 'I came back early on Sat: morning fairly driven home by the weather.' Reports that 'Better reviews of the book are now appearing Athenaeum - evidently by Dilke: Tablet: Pall Mall &c.' Thinks 'Clarke will use his influence with the Times', the idea that 'King' has done so being 'entirely out of the question'. He does not 'suppose there is a word of truth in that paragraph in Modern Society', a paper about which he knows nothing: 'from its print & style it seems pretty low'. 'If such a statement had appeared in any reputable quarter, it might have been worth while writing to say that the Queen had given full permission - but I wd not condescend to correct "Modern Society".' The rest of the letter refers to a visit by 'Jack' (his son John Murray V) to 'Hugh' and 'Dorothy'.…

LETTER ONE (12 Aug. 1906), three pages, 12mo, bifolium, very good condition. "I have not heard of or from you for sometime past, but I now write to tell you that my son John Murray the fifth, starts for a journey round the world, or nearly so, on the 25th and that I propose to give him a letter of introduction to you. He was at Eton & took his degree (with Honours) at Magdalen College, Oxford. He is now working with me here in the business & is a Lieut. in a Yeomanry regiment,The Scottish Horse. | His companion is Norman Chamberlain a nephew of our Ex-Colonial Minister. | They may be a day or two in Boston in Sept: or Oct but it is more likely that they will be there, if all goes well on their return journey next May - after visiting Japan China India &c. | We always regret that your visit to England was cut short, and wrote you would come over & finish it. [.]"; LETTER TWO: (13 March 1907) One page, cr.8vo, one edge ragged, small closed tear, ow fair-good & complete. Text: "[.] Jack has been touring in India, Burma, Ceylon China Japan &c & hopes to return via San Francisco in May. His stay in the Eastern states was unavoidably curtailed to a day or two on his way out, but he hopes to have more leisure on his return. | I am sorry to say we have no portraits of my Grandmother, or of Archibald Murray, or of Allegra [Byron's illegitimate daughter]. I send two copies of a private plate of the 5 John Murrays in the hope that it may be of some use to you, and also a few autographs. My grandfather - Sir John Barrow Dean Milman and an address & signature of Lord Byron. | If I come across anything else which seems suitable, I will bear you in mind."; LETTER THREE: (10 June 1907) Three pages, bifolium, good condition. Text: "Jack has returned and in the first place let me thank you for your kindness to him. He enjoyed his time in Boston immensely and appreciates your kindness& hospitality very highly as we do. ! Jack tells me that you have a portrait of me which shocks him: the subject is not a good one and consequently you cannot expect a photograph to make much of it, but Jack insists onmy sending you one to supercede the scarecrow so I am inflicting myself upon you by this post. | Thirdly I must thank you for your kind letter of May 20, which I was very glad to receive. | Jack goes off to night into camp with his Yeomanry for 3 weeks. He joins me in kindest remembrances.".…
