See the entries for Robinson and Cooke in the Oxford DNB. 3pp, 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition, folded twice. Addressed to 'My dear Mr Cooke'. Cooke's 'friendly note' about the time he 'proposed setting out for Deal' was received on the Thursday, and the Robinsons are 'glad indeed to hear that your dear Mother is again restored to her usual health'. The Robinsons think that 'change of occupation & fresh air together, may have the desired effect both as regards yourself & your son Conrad'. The present season has been a 'trying' one, and Robinson gives a brief description of his own indisposition. He hopes that he can meet Cooke 'on Thursday week, the day before the private view'. A reference to 'Mr & Mrs Cope' follows. Robinson is sorry that the 'programme' Cooke has 'sketched' leaves 'little chance of our seeing you before you return from Stratford'. He ends by informing Cooke that his wife is 'pretty well'. Conrad Cooke's entry in Grace's Guide stresses his electrical work (he designed and installed first electric light on the Clock Tower of the Houses of Parliament) and his early promotion of the telephone.

Farren's entry in the Oxford DNB concludes by describing him as 'a theatrical sophisticate, equally at home in period comedy and modern plays; he was, besides, one of the finest actors of his century'. From around 1821 Farren lived with the actress Mrs Faucit (Harriet Elizabeth Savill, née Diddear, 1789-1857), with whom he had two sons. An excellent item, casting vivid light on the Olympic Theatre of Madame Vestris and J. R. Planché in its late-Georgian heyday. In the second letter, to John [Smith], Farren discusses with great enthusiasm plans for staging a play by the recipient at the Olympic, declaring that he 'will not lose sight of it until it is triumphant!!' (The play would appear to have been titled 'The Sign Manual'. No information about it or the playwright have been discovered.) The two letters are on a single bifolium, and total 3pp, 4to. In fair condition, aged and worn, folded several times, with a number of closed tears to edges of folds. Addressed on reverse of second leaf, with postmark and broken seal in black wax, to 'G. Smith Esqr. | Theatre Yarmouth | Norfolk.' Farren's initials ('W. F.') are at bottom-right of address. The first letter, to 'Dear George', is a brief one, reading: 'I have this Morning received your Letter, and reply at once that I will act with you in Cambridge on Monday the 17th. For three Weeks ending on the Saturday the 23rd. If to the contrary let me hear from you. I returned early last Night from Bristol, where I have been playing the last Week. Southampton I purposed going to, but shall give it up. So much for you, with kind regards to your Father. After you have read this, put the remaining part of this Letter into your Brothers hands. Yours very truly | W. Farren'. The second letter is 41 lines long, covering the two central pages and concluding with a long postscript (again signed with initals) at the head of the first page. It begins: 'Dear John, | Mr. Planché knowing that I was expecting home last night visited me this morning to say he likes your Piece very much, [last two words both underlined twice] but to suit the Olympic you must make some alterations which are very easily done' the speaking Conspirators must be lessened in number, and he wishes the young Man & young Woman made Musical and Gen[era]l somebody, whose Name I forget, made a Bass Singer for a Finale. I think Planché's idea altogether excellent but as it would be impossible for you to easily comprehend what he means without your seeing him my advice to you is put yourself on the Top of the Yarmouth Coach and come up to Town, as soon as you can, and bring everything in the way of Dramatic Composition you have by you, with you. We have stomach for them all!! Planché speaks highly of your dramatic skill your Adelphi he says was murdered'. He returns to the 'present Work', reporting Planché's opinion that there is 'a little too much Melo Drama in the last Scene which he wants put into Musical Situation: [] a Song for the young Man by Mr. Manvers, a Song for the Girl by Miss Taylor [] and the Genl. A Bass for Bland'. He concludes in the same enthusiastic tone. The postscript begins: 'Remember I have recommended this Piece The Sign Manual and I will not lose sight of it until it is triumphant!!' He stresses that the plans for the finale are of 'great importance'.

3pp., 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged. The name of the addressee has been amended from 'J. B. Waring' to 'J. R. Planché Eqr.' In 1854 Wyatt and Waring had collaborated on four architectural guidebooks to the courts of the Crystal Palace at Sydenham, and the present item relates to sculptures present there. The letter beings iwth Wyatt thanking Planché for 'a copy of your interesting comments on Professor Cockerell's views with respect to the Wells & other sculptures', which he has read 'with care and interest'. They only serve to confirm the original impression which in my mind when I first heard Cockerell promulgate his theory at one of the Academy lectures some 12 years ago, viz - that there existed no evidence worthy of credit for the clear identification of one quarter of the whole number of statues.' As 'Carter, Gough, and others' have 'failed altogether', and as Cockerell's theory has gone uncontradicted 'neither Waring nor I had any other alternative than to cite his work and his authority as all of any importance that had been written on the subject. | Should our handbook ever reach another edition it will be our duty to allude to that as doubtful which at the date of our publication had not been contravened.'.

3pp., 16mo. Bifolium. Fair, on lightly-aged paper, with traces of previous mounting to the reverse of the last leaf. Horne writes that he is enclosing a copy of his play 'Gregory VII' for 'Mr Chas Kemble'. 'I have not written his name in it, because as you were so kind as to interest yourself in the matter, I thought I would leave it in your hands so you may give it him; or say you asked me for a copy for the purpose, or say nothing - or anything. Isn't this a fine mode of expressing my confidence in your judgment? - good taste, &c' In a postscript he states that he has sent his 'Cabinet Measures [a comedy, not performed or published] to Mr. Bartley to read, at his request.' He has done so 'only with a view to his seeing how I can write for a given company'. According to the Oxford DNB Horne had already 'besieged the actor-manager William Macready' about two other plays, and like them 'Gregory VII' was not staged.

8pp., 12mo. On two bifoliums. In good condition, lightly aged. The letter begins: 'I think your Mr. B charges a long price for his relics and if the tomb of Sir John Chappell who apparently married a Harington is in existence you mght have as good drawing for it for the money. (Five Guineas!) The Print however may be rare but of that I am no judge. I dont understand how the inscription applies to that print unless Lady Chappell was the daughter of William Harington Son of William Harington & his wife Joana daughter of William Haslee.' He discusses another print in the following paragraph, and comments: 'The books if not common may be worth a price.' before turning to Harington's pedigree. He begins by stating that he is enclosing 'a pedigree made out from such materials as I have at hand up to the time of Edward Ist.' (not present) before turning to a number of cruxes. He concludes with his sympathies for 'such a continuation of Family affliction as you appear to be in'. The last two pages are filled with 'references to the Pedigs. in the B. M. named by Sims in his Index'. From the Harington family papers.
