Add to basketHood was married to the harpist Helen Patuffa Kennedy-Fraser (1889-1967), daughter of Marjory Kennedy-Fraser (1857-1930), the celebrated collector and singer of Hebridean songs. The two items are in good condition, lightly aged. ONE: Manuscript Letter Signed by 'Ulster Scot.' 1p, 8vo. Begins: 'Dear Rev Sir / Glad to see you took… up the "cudgels" on behalf of the "Ulster Scot."' The writer of the letter considers that the part played by this group 'in building industry &c.' was surpassed by their efforts 'in cristainising [sic] and civilising the nations of the world'. Descending into sectarianism he continues: 'The Roman Catholic Hierarchy judging from their public speeches would have us believe the very opposite. Like many another Scott I read with delight your article to the "Times" and on behalf of myself and others I return you my sincerest thanks'. TWO: Unsigned Note (1p, 8vo), addressed from '19 Sutton Court Road. / London. Chiswick. W.' Clearly written by Roman Catholic businessman W. Vance Packman, who corresponded from this address at the time. Reads: 'It is a pity that you have failed to point out that all the above were Celtic Catholics in communion with Apostolic See'. Annotated by Hood: 'My answer to this was that I was confining myself to facts.' Laid down at the centre of the page is a newspaper cutting of a letter to The Times from 'REV. J. C. F. HOOD, The Vicarage, Garstang, Lancashire' headed 'Points from Letters / The Ulster Scott'. Begins: 'Your columns lately have dealt with the achievements of Ulster Scots in the sphere of government, law, literature, and science. May I extend the record into the sphere of religion? It is sometimes forgotten that the foundations of civilization in Great Britain were laid to a great extent by men of that breed.'.
