Folded for mailing. Having escaped from a Boer prison in South Africa, Winston Churchill received several offers for lecture opportunities. Major Pond's offer was among the first and Churchill left for America in December 1900. The lectures arranged by Pond were not successful and Churchill's earnings were far less than he expected. He sometimes spoke in nearly empty theaters. He wrote to his mother: "I arrived to lecture in an American town & found Pond had not arranged any public lecture, but that I was hired out for 40 pounds to perform at an evening party in a private house - like a conjurer." Pond often sent books, including his own "Eccentricities of Genius", to his correspondents. He would then stamp the word "BOOK" on the letter from the correspondent he was planning to respond to. He has done so on 5 of the letters here. First edition of Pond's book which is dedicated to "George R. Peck, A True Friend, A True Gentleman, A Great Lawyer, And My Ideal Orator".

In den Warenkorb2 pp. 8 1/2 x 11 inches. A retained carbon copy, dated August 20th, 1920. Pond writes to R. Leigh Ibbs of Ibbs & Tillett, England's foremost classical music agents, to help Vachel Lindsay arrange lectures in England, after Pond's English lecture agency partners, The Lecture Agency, who held a monopoly of the lecture field in Eng…land, and led by Gerald Christy, have turned him down. "Lindsay the one man in America that all of your visiting writers want to meet when they get here and he stands highest among the people who are known on your side. His books are published both by McMilllan and by Bell and I have seen excellent reviews of them. "The Spectator" has been especially generous in praising Lindsay.All of the English Literary men who have visited Lindsey here in America have invited him to come to England and to present his very remarkable recital of his own poems. Those recitals are so unique that they have attracted attention even in this-country where they have presented a great contrast on already existing styles of poetry and presentation. I am absolutely certain that he will create the same sensation in England that Joaquin Miller did some years ago with his high boots, red shirt -and California poems. I am absolutely confident that Lindsay could be put into a hall in London and create a furor. Everyone of the literary men will be on your side. Mansfield has already prepared meetings for him in Oxford." Pond laments the failure of Christy to support Lindsay because he is "not a regular professional English Lecturer." He ends with a final plea: "Try your best to see a way through . Take all the money if you wish but remember Lindsay is our leading American poet. Stick with him a little and I think he will repay you. If you do anything I think you will do what you can for Lindsay. Your writers value him. Your only existing Lecture Agency has not treated him with dignity. For the sake of public opinion in this country I hope something can be done." James Burton Pond Jr. (1889-1961) took over the Pond Lyceum Bureau from his father Major Pond, who had built it into one of the largest speaker bureaus in the country. In 1919, before this letter was written, he had formalized relations with the Literary Agency in London arranging for a complete interchange of talent. Gerald Christy (1865-1944) took over The Lecture Agency, Ltd., in 1890. It was the chief lecture booking agency in the British Empire, with a monopoly of the lecture field in England. It was founded in 1879, six years after Major Pond founded his business, and with which it always maintained a close working relationship. Robert Leigh Ibbs along with John Tillett founded Ibbs and Tillett was the London-based classical music artist and concert management agency (1906-1990). " For the greater part of the twentieth century, Ibbs and Tillett's concert agency was to the British music industry what Marks and Spencer is to the world of the department store. The roll-call of famous musicians on its books was unmatched, and included such international stars as Clara Butt, Fritz Kreisler, Pablo Casals, Sergei Rachmaninov, Andrés Segovia, Kathleen Ferrier, Myra Hess, Jacqueline du Pré, Julian Lloyd Webber, Clifford Curzon and Vladimir Ashkenazy, to name but a handful ."
