FIRST EDITION, illustrations to the ads at rear, a little corner-creasing to some leaves, pp. 63, [16, ads], small 4to, original yellow wrappers, with an illustration printed in green and pink to the front (signed 'E.J.'), the illustrator's ownership inscription is above: 'Personal copy. Enid Jones. Nov. 1933', slightly nicked at joint ends, fore-margin of rear cover a little creased, small spot at foot of front, very minor handling otherwise, the inside front-cover with the bookplate of Martin & Pamela Finch, very good. The copy of Enid Bagnold, Lady Jones, who provides the illustration to the front cover. Bagnold had studied art under Walter Sickert before becoming an author, but the charm of her work here lies in part in its modesty: a note within the image confesses that 'the hoods [on the prams] are up because they are easier to draw'. It was Bagnold - listed here, along with Vera Brittain, on the Executive Committee and the Literature Sub-Committee - who encapsulated the organisation as 'a West End Club to teach rich mothers East End Wisdom'. It was, more officially, an 'Infant Welfare Centre for Subscribers', giving advice to mothers on diet, nutrition and other aspects of care with a progressive outlook. Leading the advertisements at the rear is a photograph of a caged infant - being a 'Hammersmith member' using the open-air cage, attached to the window of a high-storey, recommended as a source of exposure to 'fresh air', particularly for those families without ready access to a garden.

No Binding. Zustand: Very Good. Two autograph letters signed (one incomplete, lacking first leaf) and a typed letter signed, 12pp. 8vo, [London] and Cousley Wood, 23 June 1941-7 September 1942. Long and fulsome letters about hospital work, the progress of the war and, given his correspondent, female novelists. Harold Kirk Waller (1881-1955), a pioneer advocate of breast-feeding, became Bagnold's gynaecologist in 1923, three years after her marriage to Sir Roderick Jones, the head of Reuters, and supervised the birth of the four children that became the centre of Bagnold's life. She was "utterly captivated" by Waller, in the words of her biographer, Anne Sebba - who surmises that he was the one other "grand passion" in her life after the unattainable Prince Antoine Bibesco - and they were close friends and correspondents. In 1938 she dedicated her frank novel about pregnancy and motherhood, The Squire ("the strongest baby you've brought forth", said Waller), to the "Creators and Inspirers" of the Babies' Club, Chelsea, of which Waller was co-founder in 1928, and in 1939 she handed over North End House to him as an annex for his British Hospital for Mothers and Babies in Woolwich. In June 1941 he writes at length and reflectively from the BHMB. "On the whole I think the young are inspired by the war, don[']t you? The girls especially are happier in the jobs they are doing, however grim . . . I am writing from my bedroom which overlooks the remains of a large crater. We had great luck. I cannot now remember dates but one Saturday night in April we had three in the garden. They fell in an oblique line, one each end & one in the middle just opposite the front door." One day he walked to her house at Hyde Park Gate on the offchance that she was there - "Alas, black windows, & through one I peeped & saw the garden gone all jungle, & the drawing room bare . . ." He hopes to get a medical paper published (the "agricultural authority (!)" is satisfied "that the [human] 'draught' is exactly analogous to 'letting down' the milk of animals"). Next year he writes from Kent, apologizing circuitously for having failed to get her and Roderick down to lunch (all their staff have fled). He has been reading Illyrian Spring, by Ann Bridge, and thought it "good up to the point where she rounds it off like a musical comedy . . . Surely this will be known as a period of fine novel writing by women? I don[']t read many but I'm putting my money on some future Desmond [MacCarthy] of A.D 2040 or later, coining some generic term for your group . . . I feel sure Rose Macaul[a]y & Virginia Woolf Rebecca West & the Kennedy girl for her one book [The Constant Nymph] & E.B. won[']t go musty . . . They will last for having bust up a lot of falsity & dared to find the truth about social relationships: specially for tackling mental conflict perhaps. Yes? No?". Inscribed by Author(s).
