Add to basket12mo: 1 p. Twenty-one lines. Clear and complete. Fair: on lightly-aged and ruckled paper. He 'turned up at the Executive this afternoon rather in the hope of seeing you than in the expectation of being useful'. He had 'intended amongst other things supporting a meeting of the Committee sometime next week'. He is 'only just emerg…ing from the influenza you gave me last time, which proved of a rather virulent order!' He has 'a visitor in the house & must consult the home arrangements'. 'The absence of Fred Byles (on holiday) ties me somwhat more closely than usual. The papers for the Handbook strike a very good average, but they run to about 18 pp. over the estimate for space.' Ends with a misquotation from Thomas Gray. Fred Behrens (1849-1933), son of the textile merchant and philanthropist Sir Jacob Behrens (1806-1889), collaborated with Wheeler on editorials for the Bradford Observer (now Yorkshire Observer).

Add to basketZusammen 11½ SS. auf 9 Bll. Verschiedene Formate. Mit mehreren Beilagen (s. u.). Freundschaftliche Korrespondenz mit Eugen Pinner, dem Präsidenten einer nicht identifizierten Freimaurerloge: "[.] Beifolgend Ihrem Wunsche entsprechend 2 Photos des 'Bücherwurm'. Die Originalgrösse ca 40 cm würde ich äusserst mit 135 Mk abgeben kön…nen, die mittlere, ca 30 cm mit 100 und die kleine, ca 23 cm mit 80 Mk. Ich wäre Ihnen zu ganz besonderem Dank verpflichtet, wenn ein Ankauf erfolgen würde durch Ihre frdl. Fürsprache []" (a. d. Br. v. 1. X. 1935). - "Nehmen Sie herzlichen Dank für Ihre manigfachen [!] Bemühungen in meinem Interesse und für den übersandten Verrechnungsscheck über 35 Mk, welche den Erlös Ihrer letzten Verkäufe darstellen. Wie ich Ihnen bereits telefonisch verriet, muss ich diese Summe zur dringend notwendigen Anfertigung eines Bruchbandes (Doppelbruch) verwenden, was bei meiner leider so verbauten Körperformation eine besonders complizierte Aufgabe darstellt und mir hoffentlich nicht übermässige Belästigung schafft, da ich bisher nur ein solches für einen einfachen Bruch trug und der zweite Bruch sich erst in letzter Zeit - wohl in Folge der langen Krankheit, Anstrengungen und des vielen Hastens [-] verstärkt hat, so dass ich um diese recht unerfreuliche Sache nun auch nicht mehr herum kann []" (25. VI. 1936). - Der Berliner Jurist und Bibliophile Eugen Pinner war Vorstandsmitglied des Landesverbandes Berlin des Central-Vereins deutscher Staatsbürger jüdischer Herkunft sowie Mitbegründer und Schriftführer des Fontane-Abends. Im Juni 1942 wurden er und 200 weitere Berliner Jüdinnen und Juden nach Minsk deportiert und dort ermordet. - Die Karte vom 16. IV. 1932 an Fritz Wilmer. - Beiliegend mehrere Photopostkarten von Werken Plessners sowie ein gedr. Werbeblatt Plessners mit einigen eh. Zeilen und U.

Add to basketCorrespondence, memoranda, and notes in English and Arabic. 2 typescript pp. in-folio, 15 handwritten pp. in-4to, 32 handwritten pp. in-8vo. A collection of prewar and wartime notes and correspondence, some labelled "secret", from the desk of the longtime First Assistant Resident in Aden, Lt. Col. Harold F. Jacob, who served in…this capacity from 1910 to 1917 (and, once the War started, was also Chief Political Officer to the Aden Field Force). - In a classified report to a superior concerning tribal allegiances in Yemen and the threat of an Ottoman incursion, dated 30 June 1915, he writes: "Interviewed the Abdali Sultan at Lahej yesterday and the following is what I have been able to elicit. 1. The Sheikh Ibn Nasir Mukbil appears to be particularly anxious to secure our armed presence on the Haushabi border and Sheikh Husen Saleh the Azraki (our stipendiary) and Ali Ba Saleh the Haushabi Sultan's Minister seem to be willing tools in his hand to effect that purpose. It must be remembered that Ibn Nasir Mukbil is still friendly to us or rather his unfriendliness is not proved. [.] It is hard to prophesy correctly in Arabia, and from a distance, since Arab politics change in so kaleidoscopic a fashion, but I am inclined to believe, even if there be certain hostile Turks and Arabs at Al Dareja, that the situation is not so critical as our friend the Abdali Sultan would have us believe. [.] [A]s the Sultan of Lahej is able to procure at this stage 600 camels in 2 days I am strongly in favour of our engaging them since, if hostilities open, he will find it extremely difficult to raise these numbers [.]". - A telegram draft of 10 January 1917 to the General Officer Commanding Aden, likewise "secret", Jacob writes: "Idrisi quite ready conclude supplementary agreement as outlined by Secretary of State (stop) [.] Says Farasan is part & parcel his sea-board and expects British protection from all outside interference (stop) Says British flag, however, as repugnant on Farasan as would be at Jizan and likely draw Turkish vengeance as implying cession of Islands to us; further will preclude future favours qua arms from France and Italy (stop) I fully sympathize with both agreements and believe presence of flag will place Farasan in category of annexation subject to 'post-bellum' adjudication (stop) [.]". - Also, several items of Arabic correspondence, often with Jacob's handwritten translation into English underneath. Also, a quantity of 8vo pencil notes in English and Arabic, some in the hand of another officer (possibly the Aden Resident) and as early as 1911, often not easily legible, apparently referring among other subjects to "Philby", "How Turks lost the Yemen", etc. - Jacob spoke Arabic fluently and knew the Qur'an intimately. As Political Agent in Aden and in the Hinterland he served on Lord Allenby's staff as an advisor on South West Arabia, where he became acquainted with Lawrence of Arabia. In 1915 he published a book on Southern Arabia, "Perfumes of Araby. Silhouettes of Al Yemen". - Edges brittle; some browning and folds, but altogether a well-preserved survival.
