Published by 14 Queen Street Mayfair London October, 1924
Manuscript / Paper Collectible
1p., 4to. The leaf is divided into four panels by a central horizontal crease; Arlen writes on the upper panel of one page, the rest of the leaf being blank. In fair condition, lightly aged and worn. Arlen writes neatly at the centre of the panel: 'Dear Sewell Stokes | Pip, Squeak and Wilfred. | Yrs. | Michael Arlen.' And at top left: '14 Queen St. | Mayfair. | October, 1924.' At the time of writing the precocious Stokes was an assistant editor at T.P.'s Weekly. 'Pip, Squeak and Wilfred' was a cartoon which ran in the Daily Mirror from 1919 to 1956. The significance of Arlen's utterance is unclear.

Published by 21 November ; 6 Liskeard Gardens London SE3 on New Statesman letterhead, 1957
8vo, 2 pp, 33 lines. Good, on lightly aged and creased paper. An interesting letter, written by a former policeman to a former probation officer, on the subject of the latter's book 'Come to Prison: A Tour through British Prisons today' (Longmans, 1957), about which the former has written a negative review. Begins by praising Stokes' 'really generous letter, written at what cost in self-control I can only dimly imagine'. When Hewitt 'read the published review', he thought 'that it was still on the whole unfair'. 'I hate reviewing really, and am a bad reviewer. Objectivity eludes me, and I pontificate, as if I were the only man in the world with the knowledge of the subject.' He claims what he 'really thought' was that 'the name of Sewell Stokes commands respect'. He remembers 'how very impressed G. W. Stonier was years ago with Court Circular, though I thought that book was unfair!' He is writing 'an Observer "profile" ' of Sir Lionel Fox, whom they both admire. Concludes 'I'm afraid your very readable book will be a success, despite the price!'.
Published by Wimbledon London postmark. 23 May, 1934
Manuscript / Paper Collectible
Unillustrated official 'POST CARD' with printed penny stamp. Addressed on one side, with Wimbledon postmark, to 'Sewell Stokes, Esq., | 53, Holland Park, W.11.' In good condition, lightly aged and worn. Twelve typed lines of text. The subject of the text is Stokes's forthcoming autobiography 'Monologue' (Hutchinson, 1934), with Mannin referring to her own 'Confessions and Impressions' (Jarrolds, 1930). After thanking him for his letter she writes: 'I am glad you have decided to dispense with an introduction to the book books, particularly of this kind, should stand on their own legs . . . if at all, and the older I get the more I am agin them, except in very exceptional circumstances (which means, of course, that I regret mine deeply)'. She explains that 'being agin such books I couldn't do what you want, though I wish you luck'. Concluding on the subject of Stokes's 'Isadora Duncan: An Intimate Portrait' (Brentano's, 1928) she writes: 'I visited Elizabeth Duncan in Salzburg last summer and met Seroff in Vienna, and recalled you book on Isadora.'.

Manuscript / Paper Collectible Signed
According to Noël Coward s entry in the Oxford DNB, his family moved through the suburbs of south London, before finally setting in Ebury Street, where his mother Violet acquired a boarding-house on the fringes of Belgravia . The letters are written on the verge of the huge success of the revue Bitter Sweet (1929). The recipient of these letters Sewell Stokes was an author and broadcaster who also worked as a probation officer and prison visitor, writing several works on the British penal system. In collaboration with his brother, Stokes also produced a controversial and successful play (later film) about Oscar Wilde, with his friend Robert Morley in the lead role. Both letters are in fair condition, on lightly creased and discolored paper, each with a short closed tear along a crease. Both folded twice. Both signed Arthur S. Coward , and the first addressed to Sewell Stokes Esq / 48 Springfield Rd / St Johns Wood N.W.8. ONE (18 January 1929): He thanks him for his letter respecting a special article about Noëls early days , but he cannot well do this without first having his advice . He is writing to his son by this mail and will no doubt hear from him by return mail . TWO (20 February 1929): Again on the subject of his letter to me respecting particulars of my son Noëls youthful days , he thinks it will be best for Stokes to write to him for this information if you do not mind .
