See the two men's entries in the Oxford DNB. Plain postcard, with stamp printed in red. In fair condition, discoloured and worn. Addressed by Gore to 'W. D. Ross Esq / 6 Charlbery Road / Oxford'. Begins: 'Will you forgive a p. c.? I have no secretary & am rather overwhelmed with applications. You may not know that I did the thing you suggest at the meeting for Oxford House in Magd. Hall last summer. But besides this I must respectfully say that I cannot undertake any more work than I have already on hand up to next Easter. Forgive me. I have the best will. / Charles Gore'. The subject of the letter is presumably the Oxford House Anglican settlement in Bethnal Green.

See the entries for Grey and Ross in the Oxford DNB. 2pp, 12mo. In good condition, lightly aged. Folded once for postage. Reads: 'My dear Provost / Probably you will not think that the enclosed requires any answer or that it is a matter for the head of a College but as it concerns a member of Oriel I send it on to you / Yours very truly / Grey of Fallodon.'.

See the entries for Lang and Ross in the Oxford DNB. 1p, 12mo, on light-grey paper. In good condition, lightly aged. Folded once for postage. Begins 'Dear Vice Chancellor. / Some time ago I proposed Sir David Cecil for election to the Athenaeum. His name has produced a remarkable number of supporters, but no one has been put down as seconder to my proposal.' He asks Ross to second Cecil's nomination, before writing a sentence which is hard to decipher. He concludes by suggesting that he inform the club secretary accordingly, if Ross is willing.

2pp, 8vo. In fair condition, lightly aged and worn, with slight spotting and single punch hole centred above letterhead. Folded twice. The letter is addressed to 'My dear Vice-Chancellor' without further elaboration, but the item comes from the Ross papers. Temple explains that it has been 'difficult to foresee how this summer could be arranged: the planning of domestic life in two houses under present conditions of staffing is very complicated!' His wife will not be joining him in the visit, as she 'feels obliged to spend that week-end at Canterbury'. He finds the arrangements the Vice-Chancellor has made for him 'most delightful', and hopes he will be able to 'stay and dine with you in College on the Sumday night', but 'it is possible that I may have to return to London in order to give a broadcast talk to America that night at about 10 o'clock'. He awaits a definite answer on the matter, but 'as it is a question of dining in Hall I hope no great inconvenience will be caused by leaving it open'. Signature and postscript in Temple's autograph: 'William Cantuar: / I suppose you will be wearing evening dress on the Sunday - ?'.

See his entry in the Oxford DNB. 1p, 4to. In good condition, lightly aged. Folded twice for postage. Addressed to 'The Provost of Oriel' and with sprawling signature 'Yours vy trly / Cosmo Cantuar:'. Reads: 'Dear Provost, / I have received your letter of November 20th about Mr. Randall Cooper. I am sorry to say that your letter came too late for the appointment of the first batch of Assistant Cataloguers. They have now been appointed but I am informed that there may be further appointments in the Spring. I am forwarding your letter to the Director of the British Museum informing him that I am willing to give Mr. Cooper a nomination.' For Lang's difficult relations with the British Museum as a trustee of that institution, see D. M. Wilson's 2002 'The British Museum: A History'. See Image.

See the entries for Grenfell and Ross in the Oxford DNB. 3pp, 12mo. On bifolium of light-grey paper. In fair condition, aged and spotted. Folded once for postage. The identity of the recipient is unclear, but the item derives from the papers of Sir David Ross [W. D. Ross], Scottish philosopher and Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University (see the Oxford DNB). Whilst fully aware that Ross's 'extra work'during 'this unhappy year' has been 'done with the view of giving your best to aid your country's interest', he has great pleasure in 'giving you the enclosed' (presumably some form of extra remuneration). 'The long hours & the worry of dealing with fresh questions every day, have been very trying to mind & body', and Grenfell assures Ross 'of the partners sincere appreciation of the manner in which you have executed your extra duties'. Grenfell has been 'personally specially interested in the able way in which you have executed the money & exchange questions arising from the Bank of England work'. He ends with best wishes to Ross and his mother for the coming year.

See the entries for Bevin and Ross in the Oxford DNB. In good condition, lightly aged. Folded twice for postage. Addressed to 'Sir David Ross, K.B.E., LL.D.' and signed 'Ernest Bevin'. Begins: 'Dear Sir David, / In connection with my general plans I wish as soon as possible to make definite proposals concerning the Fair Wages Clause.' He understands that 'discussions between the T.U.C. and the British Employers' Confederation have reached an advanced state', and hopes that they may be brought to an early conclusion, 'in order that your Committee may be in a position to make a report in the very early future'. He asks Ross to 'communicate with both bodies with a view to an early decision being taken'. A report within a few days 'would be of very great help' to Bevin. The Oxford DNB states that Ross's 'gifts of industry, clarity, and fair-minded good sense were constantly in demand on many public bodies', including the National Arbitration Tribunal (194152) and the Civil Service Arbitration Tribunal (194252).

See the entries for Milner and Ross in the Oxford DNB. 2pp, 12mo. In good condition, lightly aged. Folded once for postage. Addressed to 'Dear Mr Ross' and with good bold signature 'Milner'. The subject of the letter is the philanthropic 'settlement' Toynbee Hall in Whitechapel, founded in 1884 by Canon Barnett and Henrietta (DBE), his wife. Milner begins the letter by giving his opinion that 'the Toynbee meeting must be put off', as 'Everything is in the melting pot.' No decision has been made regarding the new warden (following the departure of Edmund Harvey the previous year), and the future site of the settlement is uncertain. 'Nothing will be lost by waiting till we can confront the world with 1) a Man 2) a Policy.' As things stand, he does not know 'how I could appeal effectively to an Oxford audience to "come over & help us"'.

See Dalton and Ross's entries in the Oxford DNB. 1p, small 4to. In good condition, lightly aged. Folded once. The body of the letter consists of nineteen typed lines, with 'My dear Ross,' and 'Yours sincerely / Hugh Dalton.' in Dalton's autograph. Typed name of recipient at foot of page: 'Sir David Ross, K.B.E.' He is writing to thank him 'for all the help which you have given in connection with the Committee on the Release of University staff from Government Service, on which you have so kindly acted as University representative'. He explains why, since the 'numbers of cases requiring arbitration by this Committee have steadily dwindled', 'we should now regard this Committee's activities as being formally ended'. He ends by thanking him for 'discharging this awkward task' of deciding between 'the conflicting claims of a university and the needs of an employing Department'.

See his entry, and that of Ross, in the Oxford DNB. 1p, 12mo. In good condition, lightly aged. On blue paper. Folded twice for postage. Ross is not named, the letter being addressed to him as 'The Provost, / Oriel College, / Oxford.' Bold signature: 'Nuffield'. Headed 'PERSONAL' and beginning: 'My dear Provost, / Now that your term as Vice-Chancellor has come to an end, I feel I should like to send you a brief assurance of the warmth of my appreciation of the valuable help you have always so readily given in the development of my Trusts and my other University interests.' He realises that the 'advancement' of the trusts 'is dependant to no small extent on the active interest of the Vice-Chancellor', and he and 'the many who are actively concerned in the progress of the Trusts, are very sensible of the gratitude we owe to you for the intentness of your co-operation during the last three years.'.

See the entries for Bevin and Ross in the Oxford DNB. In good condition, lightly aged. Folded once for postage. Addressed to 'The Vice Chancellor, / Oxford University'. The two lines of Bevin's autograph valediction ascending and converging at the same time: 'Yours sincerely / Ernest Bevin'. He was glad to receive Ross's letter 'about the visit of the Greek Regent to this country'. He feels sure that 'the Regent will wish to accept an invitation to visit Oxford'. He gives tentative dates for his stay, undertaking to 'have a day at least set aside for this purpose'. He will advise Ross about 'the most suitable choice of dates' as soon as he can. See Image.

See the entries for Morrison and Ross in the Oxford DNB. The three items are in good condition, lightly aged and folded for postage. The second item has a punch hole centred at the head of the leaf. All three 1p, 12mo, and each with Morrison's sprawling signature 'Yrs sincerely / Herbert Morrison /', the first in green ink. ONE (25 November 1941): Addressed by Morrison in green ink to 'Dear Sir David'. Thanking him for a note 'in which you assure me of the appreciation of the Nuffield College Committee at my action in agreeing to release Mr. Harold Butler at the end of this year so that he may resume his duties as Warden of the College'. TWO (19 January 1944): Addressed in autograph to 'Dear Vice-Chancellor'. Accepting 'the kind invitation of Lady Ross and yourself to put me up at the College on the night of Thursday, the 27th January'. He will inform him 'on when I shall expect to arrive in Oxford'. THREE (24 January 1944): Having just received an invitation from the President of the Union, 'inviting me to dine at 7 o'clock before the debate next Thursday', he informs him when he expects his car to arrive at Oriel. He gives details of when he will have to leave for 'town', apologising to the Rosses for 'undue inconvenience'.

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.'.

Four scarce pieces of ephemera: no other copies of them traced on either JISC or WorldCat. See Ross's entry in the Oxford DNB. The three reports give lists of college persons, with general and particular news. Items Two to Four in good condition, lightly aged and creased; Item One as described below. ONE: 'ORIEL COLLEGE, OXFORD / 1917-1918'. Signed in type by 'L. L. P.' [i.e. Langford Lovell Price, retiring treasurer] and dated 31 July 1918. 7pp, 12mo. On two bifoliums of thin war-economy paper, glued together. With stamps of The Treasury, Oriel College, Oxford, and 'With the Treasurer's Compliments'. Aged, creased and worn. Begins: 'The prolongation of the War during the past academical year (1917-1918) has postponed for a while the hope of a revival of the happier, more tranquil state of normal times.' Later: 'For the moment, however, the Provost, a single Tutor, a Treasurer and less than a handful of Fellows, fourteen Undergraduates, and a small remnants of servants dwell in, or use, some of the rooms in the Front and Back Quadrangles, while a Principal, Tutors, Bursar, and students of the other sex retain in their large numbers their temporary occupation of the new and older buildings of St. Mary's Quadrangle.' Later: 'Mrs. Grundy, the wife of Dr. G. B. Grundy, Fellow and Tutor of Corpus Christi College, is, as a new experiment, undertaking the supervision of the internal housekeeping arrangements of the College.' Includes 'Military Honours', and information regarding the 'Loggan' drawing of the college by E. H. New. TWO: 'ORIEL COLLEGE, OXFORD, / 1921-1922.' 7pp, 12mo. On two bifoliums, stitched. More expansive list than in One, with briefer accompanying text. Begins: 'The College is still very full. There were 157 Undergraduates and Bachelors of Arts in residence in Michaelmas Term, 1921, 159 in Hilary Term, 1922, and 160 in Midsummer Term, 1922. Of these 85 to 90 lived in College. About 50 have gone down since Midsummer, but about 50 freshmen are expected to come into residence in 1922-23.' THREE: 'ORIEL COLLEGE, OXFORD, / 1922-1923.' 4pp, 12mo. Bifolium. Begins: 'The numbers were slightly lower than in the previous year.' Later: 'During the year various improvements in the College buildings have been carried out; several portions of St. Mary's Quadrangle have been restored, and new baths have been provided. Schemes for further improvements are under consideration.' FOUR: Handbill prospectus for 'The Provosts and Fellows of Oriel College Oxford' of Richards and Shadwell. Basil Blackwell, Oxford.
