Manuscript / Paper Collectible
Anne Chamberlain stood before the crowds on the balcony of Buckingham Palace with her husband and the members of the royal family, following his return with the 'piece of paper', 30 September 1938. 1p., 12mo. On blue paper. In fair condition, worn and lightly-creased, with a couple of staple-marks at head. The salutation and valediction are written in flowing autograph: 'Dear Mr. Brooks' and 'Yours sincerely | With all kind remembrances | Anne Chamberlain'. She has 'noticed lately an alteration in the reading matter, as well as the cover, of "Truth."', and hopes that 'this does not mean that you have given up being the Editor?' She asks to hear from him, and invites him 'to look in to sherry some day'. The note is accompanied by a leaf carrying a page of typed transcription of an undated entry from Brooks's journal, including: 'I am also finishing at leisure Sam Hore's Nine Troubled Years. [] Talking of Sam, here is a long-behind-the-times letter from Mrs Neville'. Brooks had relinquished the editorship, after twelve years, the previous year.

Manuscript / Paper Collectible
See her entry in the Oxford DNB. An interesting letter, whose circumstances are intriguing. 3pp, 12mo. On two leaves of letterheaded paper. In pencil. From the Asquith papers, and possibly a draft letter to her son Anthony ('Puffin'). In good condition, lightly creased. Folded once. The signature is a short squiggle. The handwriting is challenging, and the following interpretation is tentative. She begins: 'My Darling, I felt rather guilty after leaving you about abusing yr. love of blue in yr. pictures. - I can see that nothing I say can alter yr. love of this colour, & I hate hurting yr. feelings all the same I wish you wd try once to do an oil sketch of white on white like S[?] P[uff?]'s head where no one but S[?] wd. have put his thistle-down hair on a white background. I long for you to do a wild sketch of flowers quite unfinished, as you cd. do it on yr. head "Avoid l'illustration" as Image [the artist Selwyn Image (1849-1930)] said to me. It was lovely seeing thee so well & warm in yr. lovely shelter, my [back?] so nice on yr. little head. Do a few short paragraphs for me & send them to La Dame de Vie. I was 10 years out in Chardins birth! - [?] safe to try my head against yours in dates! - Just off to [?]' Postscript appears to read: 'Cssh me the xtra [sic] sending Times article here'.

See her entry, and those of her husband and their two daughters, in the Oxford DNB. 2pp, 12mo. In good condition, lightly aged. Folded for postage. Although Sayers' name and address are given as recipient at the beginning, the letter is clearly a circular, and the signature is cylcostyled. It begins: 'Dear Sir, / I venture to appeal to your sympathetic interest in a cause which is very near my heart, and which, in a variety of ways, is voicing the Empire's gratitude to our Sailors.' She requests 'generous support' for the British and Foreign Sailors' Society, which 'has been entrusted by the Authorities with definite responsibility for the immediate welfare of aged mothers, widows and orphans of the heroic men who have fallen while on Active Service'. Later she notes that 'at least £50,000 will be necessary for the great task the Sailors' Society has set itself'. She has personal knowledge of 'its practical methods, its world-wide outlook, and its efficient administration'.

Published by . Christmas card by Lum & Feher Press Honolulu, 1966
Manuscript / Paper Collectible Signed
In good condition, lightly aged and worn. Christmas card with unusual image of the three wise men (in Roman helmets) seen from behind, following the guiding star as it leads them across a Hawaian beach to the hut in which the birth of the messiah is occurring. Printed message in card in Hawaian and English. The reverse of the second leaf has nothing printed on it other than the publisher's slug, and at the head the prime minister has written 'Happy Christmas'. Beneath this, one above the other, are the five signatures: 'Harold Wilson | Mary Wilson. | Giles Wilson. | George Brown | Sophie Brown'. At bottom right is written the date '1966'. Written in German, inside the card, presumably by Sophie Brown, is a message in German, dated 'Honolulu 10.12.1966.' It is signed 'Ihre [Polali?]'. The visit to Hawaii does not appear to have been an official one. It would certainly have made for a lively holiday: while Brown is remembered as a hopeless drunkard, Wilson's consumption of alcohol was apparently even greater.

Manuscript / Paper Collectible
See her entry in the Oxford DNB. 1p, long 8vo. In good condition, lightly aged. Headed 'TORRINGTON SQUARE. / To the EDITOR of The TIMES'. Whether the letter was published or not, and if so whether it appeared in its entirety, is unclear. Clearly a carbon, but with her characteristic signature at end in black ink 'Margot Oxford'. The forty-seven-line text has four autograph emendations. Begins: 'Sir, / It has been officially announced that the building of the School of Oriental Studies (London Institution) in Finsbury Circus is to be sold and that in due course the School "will be accommodated in its own new building on the Bloomsbury site"; and further that the Court of the University of London has presented a new site to Birkbeck College.' In the light of this, and as a Bloosmburyite (the Asquiths had lived at 44 Bedford Square since the early 1920s), she continues: 'May we see in these announcements, the gleam of a hope that the University proposes to preserve the garden of Torrington Square and to surround it with a group of beautiful buildings, generously spaced, and allowing glimpses of those wonderful trees?'She quotes a 'Resolution adopted by the Senate of the University in March 1928', suggesting that 'a group of beautiful buildings' would give 'greater scope to the genius of the Architect, Mr. Charles Holden, than a single patternised building'. In then emphasizing 'the strenght of public opinion in favour of the preservation of London squares, she quotes a statement by Lord Rothermere 'in handing over the Geraldine Mary Harmsworth Park in Southwark'. The final paragraph outlines how '[t]he garden of Torrington Square could be made a thing of beauty, rivalling the garden of New Square in Lincoln's Inn', and could be used for purposes including 'garden parties, open air concerts and plays'. Construction delays and the war meant that what became SOAS did not move to its Bloomsbury site until 1941.

An opponent of appeasement and Winston Churchill's closest female friend. See her entry in the Oxford DNB. 2pp, 12mo. In good condition, folded twice for postage.

She regrets that she is unable to accept his invitation to 'come to Monmouth in November - as my plans are very uncertain - it is just possible I might be abroad then. / It is so good of the Monmouth Town [bench?] to invite me'. She ends by asking him to thank them for 'their kind offers of hospitality'.

See her own entry in the Oxford DNB, as a 'political wife', and that of Yonge, whose 'Unknown to History: A Story of the Captivity of Mary of Scotland' was published in 1882. 3pp, 12mo. Bifolium. Signed 'G Salisbury' and addressed to 'Miss Yonge'. In good condition, with negligible remnants of windowpane mount adhering at edges. 'One of the original casket letters was found at Hatfield some years ago by Dr Brewer who was then looking over the papers on behalf of the Record Office to which he belonged - Also a copy of another - of the same date. Both these papers were apparently used at Mary's trial - & the original one is docketted in Burghleys hand - Whether it is in Marys handwriting or is a forgery - probably of Maitland of Lettingtons - I cannot say.' She continues for another page, with reference to Queen Elizabeth, and an invitation to Yonge to visit Hatfield.
