The six items in good condition, lightly-aged and with slight rust spotting. Four of the letters concern an exhibition of the CUP's work at the Bumpus store, 350 Oxford Street. Lewis's four letters are all signed 'W. Lewis' and on his own CUP letterhead. One: 24 September 1931. 2pp., 8vo. In reply to Wilson's congratulations over the exhibition he informs him that he will be sending his son ('subject of course to your consent'), 'who has been in the printing [sic] now for two years and should know something of types. I have heard some criticisms of the Oxford Exhibition and several turned on the fact that nobody was there to be able to tell them about types, and therefore after next week I shall come up at least once a week and be available for that type of enquiry'. The rest of the letter concerns 'the little label for your correspondence' and 'a proof of the card all in black'. Two: 9 November 1941. 1p., 8vo. 'Its [sic] just like you to put the final touch to an interesting event. Frankly I have had little to do with it and the real credit lies between you and our publishing department and in that order. That it will do good I am sure. Practically every day I get some reference to it by our correspondents and the accumulative effect will I am sure be great. A lot of it has been good sound criticism which is good for the Press and printing generally.' Three: 3 May 1932. 1p., 8vo. 'You really are a wonderful fellow. Only you would think of sending me a telegram. I've never had one before from anyone and it comes as a delightful surprise. I felt pleased with the book, but now I am ready to swank about it.' Four: 5 July 1932. 1p., 8vo. He congratulates him on 'the Lewis Carroll Exhibition': 'How you do it I don't know. I only hope all publishers and printers appreciate how much you are doing for their respective trades. One cannot expect to see immediate benefit but I am sure the effect is cumulative and I do feel personally how much this Press is indebted for the work you put in all these Exhibtions.' Five: Kingsford (as Assistant Manager of the London branch of the CUP) to Wilson. 24 September 1931. On CUP letterhead, Fetter Lane, London. Signed 'R. J. L. Kingsford'. 1p., 8vo. 'How very nice of you to write me a line about the opening of the Exhibition! I thoroughly enjoyed the fortnight I spent in the Old Court House, and I am glad that you were pleased with everything.' He ends by stating that he is contacting the Jewish Chronicle about the exhibition. Six: Roberts to WIlson. 9 November 1931. Signed 'S. C. Roberts'. 1p., 4to. 'I [.] fully reciprocate your feelings about the Exhibition. I am quite sure that it has been of real service to the Press and I hope that your firm too has reaped some advantage from it. | The Syndics are extremely grateful to you for the opportunity which you have given them of displaying their books and it is especially satisfactory to reflect that all members of your staff and our own have worked in such cordial co-operation throughout the period of the Exhibition.'.
