Manuskript / Papierantiquität Signiert
See his entry in the Oxford DNB. 2pp, 12mo. The letter was torn in two vertically, and has been taped back together, with the tape going over the downstroke of the y in Bryce s signature. It also has a spike hole. Otherwise in fair condition. Addressed to Dear Mr. Marshall and signed Bryce . Marshall s telegram has followed him into the country, & it is now too late to express the opinion you ask for , although that would in any case be really superflous because I said upon Tuesday the 14th. Novr. in an address reposted at the time all I could say now, as to my belief that the time has not arrived when there would be the least use in negociating [sic] for peace .

See the two men's entries in the Oxford DNB. The three items are in good condition, lightly aged and worn; the second is lightly spotted. Each is folded once. All three signed 'Bryce'. ONE: 13 February 1914. No place. 3pp, 12mo. On bifolium. Begins: 'My dear Ross / I should like [to] help in so good a cause, but cannot possibly venture to make any promise for a date so distant as Nov. next. It would be "a tempting of Providence" as we say in Scotland.' He is not even certain whether he will be in England then, 'and there is nothing one has more to avoid than the breaking of promises'. He is 'glad to hear of the movement: & it will be much reinforced if the idea of a School of Social Studies in Oxford goes forward'. TWO: 23 February 1915. 1p, 16mo. On Hindleap letterhead. He apologises for having been 'prevented by incessant work from sooner sending you a donation to the Barnett House Fund'. He hopes 'to hear more about its working from you when next in Oxford'. THREE: 4 December 1917. On House of Lords letterhead. 2pp, 12mo. He is sorry to learn that 'the Poplar experiment did not succeed', but has no doubt that Ross's 'discretion was wisely exercised'. The 'contribution as a mark of sympathy' that he is enclosing 'has to be small, because there are charitable war causes so much more urgent, and making so strong a personal appeal to me that I am obliged to reserve for them all that I can give'. Concludes: 'I gather that Oriel, and doubtless many another college, has fewer undergraduates than ever.'.
