See his entry in the Oxford DNB. From the Piffard papers. Marshall's handwriting is hurried and in places difficult to decipher. 2pp, 12mo. In good condition, lightly aged. Folded once. Addressed to 'Dear Mr. Piffard' and signed 'John Marshall'. Piffard's gift of 'the Box of flowers, with [?]' leads him to opine: 'The Daffodils are lovely. - Why is Nature so beautiful? Can it be merely to please the Eye of Man? Surely not, for much of it, nay most of it would evolve itself, if man were to be exterminated tomorrow.' After expressing pleasure at Piffard's continuing good health, he discusses 'remarks about [Sponge?]' by the recipient, ending with the observation that the response of 'larynx & trachea & bronchi to the action of cold air, & East Wind, remains as an individual factor, "a personal equation" the [?] would say, which [strike?] faces'. He ends by explaining that he should have been in Dublin on that day, 'receiving the Honorary Fellowship of the Royl. Coll. of Surgeons in Ireland, - dining c. the Lord Lieutenant &c. &c.', but that he 'dare not risk the double journey'. In a postscript he adds that there is 'nothing of Epilepsy or other serious trouble in Mrs. Piffard's attacks. Irregularity of the Circulation, owing to temporary causes, will account for all.'.

The subject of the present letter is, as Marshall's entry in the Oxford DNB explains, her 'translation of a play by the first female dramatist, Hrotsvit. 'Paphnutius' was given a world première by Craig for the Pioneer Players in January 1914.' The recipient, Henry Mackinnon Walbrook (1865-1941), was the drama critic of the Pall Mall Gazette. 2pp, 12mo. In fair condition, on dusty discoloured paper, with slight rust spotting from paperclip. She asks if he 'could spare time' to see her for a few minutes, as she thinks she could give him 'some further information about the enclosed [not present] which would make an interesting article for the P. M. G.' If Walbrook 'cannot be bothered' to write the article she can do so herself, 'but I am anxious not to do this as the translation is my work'. She asks him to 'telephone when I may see you'. As he has been 'so kind in helping me on one or two other occasions', she feels sure he will forgive her for 'asking for your interest in this production, which really is worth [last word underlined] your interest'. Minuted in pencil at head of first page: 'Passed on to F. A. H. Eyles for Interview.'. Seller Inventory # 23994
