1p, 12mo. In fair condition, lightly aged, with traces of grey-paper mount on blank reverse, and minor discolouration at one edge from glue used. The actor Henry Leigh Murray (1820-1870) is identified in pencil as the recipient. The letter begins: 'My dear Sir, | You are quite welcome to a P[rivate]. Box if there is one to spare'. He asks him to 'call or send to Mr. Massingham at the Box Office at 1/2 past 4 o'clock who has received instructions to attend to your wishes, if all the Boxes are not let by that time'. Massingham was for upwards of forty years (from the 1790s to the 1830s) the door keeper at Drury Lane. The letter is accompanied by a cutting of a magazine article by Henry J. Byron, 'Charles Kean and the Utility Gentleman. A Reminiscence'.

2pp., 12mo. In good condition, lightly aged, with light pencil line by Forsyth through first page. She hopes that she is not 'asking too much' in requesting 'two stalls or a box for the premiere of "Eugene Oneghin" - Friday evening'. If 'not impossible', he would like 'a lunch to be present that night. He asks to be sent word to the Garrick Club.

Original typed letter on Paul Sabel & Co.'s letter-headed paper 7'' x 8''. With small reference to second-hand books. SIGNED 'Paul Sabel.' Member of the P.B.F.A. BOOKS (Binding, Collecting, Printing, Paper).

3pp., 12mo. 55 lines, neatly and closely written. Good, on lightly-aged paper. Addressed to 'Mr W. Shoberl.' An excellent letter, giving an experienced and knowledgable view of the state of the mid-Victorian British booktrade. Redding begins by stating that he is 'indeed concerned to hear the statement' Shoberl has communicated to him. He wishes it was in his power to forward Shoberl's wishes. 'The Downward tendency of our present literature and its continued deterioration by the utter disregard for any thing on the part of the public but that which any body may do, with the continual competition as to price among the booksellers, have utterly destroyed authorship. The American looks to costing nothing for copyright, reprinted here as of English authorship reduce the chances of obtaining employment very low indeed. I feel the times too much myself not to sympathise with others. There is not a boarding school girl whose diatribes do not ascend in the market, better than those of an educated person who has had long experience. The prospect is gloomy enough', and Redding cannot help him. 'I have no business connections out of the old way, and so far from finding my present cause a prosperous one I look to the future with apprehension. My life with 50 years of adventures is nearly ready, but I almost despair of doing any thing with it, though I have records of so many well known characters to display.' Redding remembers Shoberl's father well, 'and when you speak of friends gone off the stage of existence I can assure you I feel the same'. In the final paragraph he again expresses a desire to assist Shoberl if he can, and he expresses a hope 'that things may soon take a turn' with him. Shoberl did gain employment in the book trade, first as assistant to the London publisher Henry Colburn, and then as a publisher in his own right.

Harry Harkness Flagler was son and heir to one of America's greatest fortunes, inheriting the sumptuous Whitehall estate in Florida (now the Flagler Museum). The recipient was the wife of Frank Edgar Johnson, whose obituary is in New York Times, 5 December 1932 ('Yonkers life insurance man was an authority on birds'). 6pp, four of which in 12mo and two in 8vo. On two bifoliums, each with the final page of text written lengthwise across the central opening. In envelope, with post mark and stamp, addressed by Flagler to 'Mrs. Helen Lossing Johnson | 16 Amackassin Terrace', and with 'Yonkers | New York' added (by a secretary?). In good condition, lightly aged. Folded twice. Signed 'Harry Harkness Flagler'. He begins by apologizing for the length of time he has retained the things she has sent him (he has only just returned to his desk since coming back from his holidays, having fallen 'a victim to the prevailing specimen of grippe'), before giving what he describes at the conclusion of the letter is a 'discouraging' report on them. He admits that he hasn't 'any idea of the value of the items you sent me, but the interest in the diaries for me would be in the possibility of their publication either privately or publicly at some time. This I am now told by authorities would be an impossibility as the right of publication would remain with the descendants of the family and I am told that one of them in Philadelphia has had such a project in mind for some time. He also owns the diary (the original) in part I understand.' Another part of the diary is, as Mrs Johnson probably knows, in the possession of the New York Historical Society, and while Flagler was comparing with Mrs Johnson's father's copy, the librarian told him 'that any copies of this kind of original documents [sic] has little commercial value [.] As to the County items I do not find they are of sufficient importance to warrant my making you an offer on them.' He explains that he is not 'making a general Collection of County items, but only of those which (like the P Map) have a real significance'. Knowing the value she places on the items because of the 'research and methodical care' of her father, he will return them to her 'by hand on Saturday'. He ends with thanks and renewed apologies. Note (via Google); "Margaret Sweet Johnson (1893 - 1964) and her mother, Helen Lossing Johnson are probably best known for their books about dogs. The family were lovers of nature and art, and Margaret Johnson's father was a keen naturalist, specialising in ornithology. Helen Lossing Johnson, an artist, encouraged her daughter to study at the Academy of Design and the Art Students' League in New York. Mother and daughter collaborated on many books, with Margaret Johnson carrying on after her mother's death." Perhaps the material assessed by Flagler involved her father, the naturalist.

2pp., 12mo. In fair condition, on aged and worn paper, with two punch holes at head. The first page with deletions in pen and pencil, and the second page entirely scored through. Found in a collection of House of Commons documents. The first page begins: '1. | ponsibility. | one of great experience - weight - | unpleasant because I must complain | tone of despatches | none could feel more keenly | or more desirous - | not so much hardened - | action of England so important'. The second page contains the following: 'D. de Gramont had said "he trusted much to the aid of HM govt" | 11th. despatch - | page 7 | "he begged HM. Govt. to use all their influence to bring about a voluntary renunciation" | 15th. desp. page 11 | true [last word underlined twice] that Lord Lyons spoke strongly (no. 30) July 12. | - approved -'. Also a longer quotation from 'Lord G[ranville]. Jul. 13. (Desp. 83)'. Herbert was in France during the Franco-Prussian War. He was present at the Battle of Sedan (1870), and was one of the very first to enter Paris after its capitulation following the siege (being nearly shot as a spy on his way in), and remaining there during the Paris Commune.
