CONTENT: The letters are primarily a correspondence between Roy Fuller & Neville Braybrooke in response to Neville Braybrooke's request for copies of letters to Roy Fuller from J.R. Ackerley that could be used for the book being compiled by Neville & June Braybrooke ÔThe Letters of J.R. Ackerley,Õ published 1975. Fuller's letters are written in a neat spikey hand and clearly show the affection and respect he held for "Joe," having kept all his letters "there are more than 68 items, but quite a few are mere notes-though scarcely without some characteristic phrases." Topics include references to 'Hindoo Holiday,' Ackerley's account of his time in India as the personal secretary to the Maharajah of a small Indian principality; 'The Listener,' with some notes from Ackerley being on Listener headed paper; and Fuller's novel 'The Ruined Boys.' Discussion also on the detail of poetry such as 'Waist of the Wasp' a poem 'To a Wasp' by Fuller included by Ackerley in an edition of 'The Listener.' Neville Braybrooke's hand-written notes in red felt tip & blue biro add information on dating and cataloguing in preparation for his forthcoming book; the letters are also grouped in Braybrooke's system of paper clips and staples,keeping batches of letters together. Ackerley letters to Fuller are written with wry humour and sharpness ".the book made heavy demands on my concentration (as, for instance, Compton-Burnett does, and Francis King doesn't.)" There is also insight into Ackerley's scorchingly strong working practice and principles: "I don't wish to pat poor poets on the back just because they are poor poets. I also think that it is necessary to try to have or set a standard of value, and that far too much, O far far too much is being written." JOE RANDOLPH "J. R." ACKERLEY (1896Ð1967) was a British writer and editor. He joined the BBC the year after its founding in 1927, and became literary editor of The Listener for more than two decades where he was responsible for publishing many influential British poets and writers. He was openly homosexual, at a time when homosexual activity was forbidden by law and socially unacceptable. ROY BROADBENT FULLER (1912Ð1991) was an English writer & poet. He received a C.B.E. and Queen's Gold Medal for Poetry in 1970 and the Cholmondeley Award from the Society of Authors in 1980. NEVILLE BRAYBROOKE (1923-2001) was a man of letters: poet, novelist, essayist, biographer of Olivia Manning, editor, literary critic and publisher of Mahatma Gandhi's autobiography. Very good.

Zustand: Very Good. Typed copies of J. R. Ackerley's letters to Fred Urquhart contained in a light brown file. 25.5 x 21 cm. pp. 31. Numbered 1-42 in pen (includes one letter from Urquhart to Ackerley) and with handwritten notes attached. Occasional markings and comments in pen. The correspondence centres on Ackerley's continual criticism and rejection of Urquhart's work, however his comments are not entirely without encouragement. Typed signed letter from Fred Urquhart to Neville Braybrooke addressed from Spring Garden Cottage, Fairwarp, Uckfield, Sussex dated 20th April 1971 and consisting of about 545 words in which he says he has only just learnt that Braybrooke is in the final stages of editing his book on Ackerley's letters. He says he has numerous letters from Ackerley but they are in some disorder and would take him time to sort out. 'He gave me great encouragement as well as much well-needed criticism, when I was writing my early stories in the 1930s.' He adds that he did eventually publish one called Alicky's Watch in The Listener. He says he thinks some of his Ackerley letters may have gone to the University of Texas who had started to buy his original MSS and literary papers. On looking through one of his boxes that morning he finds letters from John Lehmann, Edwin Muir, Francis King, Edward Garnett and 'God knows how many others.' Typed signed letter with a handwritten addition from Fred Urquhart to Neville Braybrooke addressed as above dated 5th May 1971 and consisting of about 700 words in which he says he has found 41 Ackerley items. 'Some are letters, some are notes, a few are just words on rejection slips.' He says most date from the late 1930s and the last consists of a few words on a rejection slip dated 1950. He suggests two items should be read in conjunction with the letters, one is a draft of part of a letter from himself to Ackerley answering some questions and the other is a note from Maurice Ashley, Ackerley's deputy at The Listener, accepting his story Alicky's Watch, 'a little ironic that it happened when Ackerley was away.' He then goes into detail about letters from other people and says only one Ackerley letter went to Texas. In his handwritten addition he apologises for the fact his letter to Braybrooke c/oThe Spectator never reached him and says he appreciated the review. Handwritten signed letter from Fred Urquhart to Neville Braybrooke written on headed notepaper addressed as above (name of cottage altered by hand) dated 1st August 1971 and consisting of about 190 words in which he thanks Braybrooke for returning the Ackerley letters and says he was sorry to miss him. He is extremely busy with work on the paste-up of Dents' Dictionary of fictional characters and doesn't think he'll get to London in the near future. Fred Urquhart (1912-1995) Scottish short story writer who Orwell praised for his 'remarkable gift for constructing neat stories with convincing dialogue.' For many years he lived in East Sussex with his companion, the dancer Peter Wyndham Allen. Joe Randolph Ackerley (1896-1967) writer and poet and literary editor of The Listener. He exchanged letters with numerous writers of note for forty years and was openly gay at a time when it was forbidden by law. Neville Braybrooke (1923-2001) was a poet, writer, editor and publisher.

However brief, they convey an insight into a personal and professional world, with references to work, commissions, and personal anecdotes. Many of the letters express their admiration and respect for Ackerley: and those who knew Ackerley well give details of friendship and warmth:James Kirkup "I think I was his only friend to like Queenie as he did, so he wrote tome about her." Artist John Pipers's letters, together with Ackerley's are a purely creative dialogue concerning articles for The Listener on art exhibitions:"I did two long specific articles in consecutive weeks, called 'Young English Painters,' which illustrated for the first time ever Victor Pasmore, Coldstream, Richards and Medley. I made a point of this as it showed how willing Joe was to take a big plunge when he thought it was in the right direction." Writing to H.B. Mallalieu, J.R. Ackerly:"I am much fortified at having a poem dedicated to me." A copy of the poem 'Letter in Wartime' is included in the bundle of correspondence.
