1p., 4to. In fair condtion, lightly aged and creased. With a few autograph corrections by Roberts. Having been unsuccessful in placing an individual with Wilson, Roberts writes: 'Of course forty years ago the advent of a bookshop like yours was a tremendous event, and we all flocked to it as something new and wonderful, as indeed it was. I recollect that among my little batch I bought a "Sesame & Lillies" in a little grey cloth cover and it turned out afterwards that it was one of two that Ruskin had had experimentally bound and turned down because he did not like the cover, for which he substituted the well known brown.'.…

R. J. L. Kingsford, in his history of the Publishers Association, describes Young as 'a bookseller of outstanding character and ability, a friend of Arnold Bennett, and the discoverer of the literary distinction of George Sturt'. 1p., 12mo. Neatly and closely written. Headed 'private', and addressed to 'Dear John'. Young is apparently following a dinner (of the Publishers Association) at which George Bernard Shaw was present, and the subject of the letter would appear to be an exhibition Wilson's firm has mounted of books by the London publisher John Murray. He asks him not to allow his 'remarks of Thursday to drill too deeply into your mind'. From Wilson's 'early note' he fears his remarks may have been taken too seriously. 'Knowing you so well and as you will believe with so considerable a liking, I thought you should be made aware of an outside impression which does exist though has not been expressed to me. It was a criticism of the publisher rather than of you. If you look at it from these outsiders point of view it resolves itself into propaganda for your firm.' From Young's own point of view 'such exhibitions can only do good to the Book trade and I am not minded to consider too personal a point of view. Now you may dismiss this matter from your mind If Murrays and subsequent shows would make it clear that the books exhibited are on sale at all reputable bookshops it might be "A Good Thing" as the author of "1066 and all that" says.' Young concludes: 'I wish I'd stayed another few minutes. - & seen G. B. S. I liked herself very much.' From the papers of John G. Wilson, for information regarding whom see his entry in the Oxford DNB.…

1p., 4to. In good condition, lightly aged. He acknowledges Wilson's 'kind letter regarding Dalglish', who 'suffered a good deal during the latter weeks of his life, but I am glad to say that even then he still retained that brightness of disposition of which you speak'. Dalglish will be 'greatly missed by many book buyers in the West of Scotland and we, personally, will find his place very hard to fill.' Wylie is 'taking a liberty' in sending Wilson's letter to Dalglish's widow: 'I am sure she will be glad to know that her husband left such a pleasant mark on the younger of his contemporaries'. He ends in the hope that 'time continues to deal kindly' with Wilson. For information on Wilson, who was born in Glasgow and served his apprenticeship there with the firm of John Smith & Son, see his entry in the Oxford DNB.…

See the two men's entries in the Oxford DNB. In good condition, on the first leaf of bifolium. (There are extensive pencil annotations in a later hand on the second leaf.) Very neatly written. Addressed to 'J. G. Wilson Esqre.' and signed 'Anstey Guthrie'. He has 'much pleasure' in answering Wilson's question. ''Shut Out' is a short story of mine which was published in Longmans Magazine about 1895 or 6, afterwards included in a volume of short stories under the title of "The Talking Horse". I think published by Messrs. Smith & Elder - but now long out of print. "The Talking Horse" is included in "Humour & Fantasy", but not "Shut Out".' See Image.…

Both 1p., 4to, and both in good condition, on lightly-aged paper. ONE (11 September): He is writing regarding Wilson's 'kind suggestion that I should call in and see you one day shortly before the publication of my THACKERAY book'. Having been told by 'Mr. Hartley' that Bumpus is on holiday, he will call on 14 September. TWO (13 September 1932): Presumably with his tongue in his cheek, he writes: 'Dear Sirs, | Thank you for your letter of yesterday, reference II,456JGW, and for saving me the risk of a fruitless visit. I will call to see Mr. Wilson on Thursday the 15th, instead of to-morrow.' Elwin's 'Thackeray: A Personality' was published by Jonathan Cape in 1932.…
