The surgeon was a passionate collector of Nanking Chinese porcelain and was celebrated for his 'Octave' dinners, as referred to in the present letter, at which eight diners ate eight light courses commencing at eight o'clock. The poet to whom Yarrow remained a place 'of the imagination' is William Wordsworth (1770-1850) English Poet Laureate 1843-50 whose poem Yarrow Unvisited was published in 1803. In the present letter Hardy refers to Tess of the D'Urbervilles, published in 1891, which did indeed please mature readers, although Hardy was wounded by criticism of its sexual frankness.

'My favourite joke….’ FORESTER C. S.: (1899-1966) English Novelist whose works included the Horatio Hornblower series and The African Queen (1935) which was later made into a film starring Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn in 1951. A.L.S., C. S. Forester, one page, 4to, London, 1st April 1929, to Mr. Grubb. Forester informs his correspondent that he will try and answer his letter relative to the Public Ledger Syndicate as best as he can 'but I suppose I shall not be very extraordinary if I make a dismal failure of it'. The novelist continues 'My favourite joke is about the Cardinal-Archbishop who found himself beside the Chief Rabbi at a City dinner. Said the Cardinal, absentmindedly - "Can I help you to a little of this ham?" "I shall wait for that until Your Eminencie's wedding breakfast' and further adds 'The other story I like is about the three girls who went for a tramp in the woods. He is now in hospital'. Forester also writes 'For publicity I have not much to suggest. Published a novel eight years ago, nearly, at the age of 22, & have regretted it ever since. One of the very few people who have succeeded in getting a motor boat down 300 miles of the unnavigable river Loire - may be the only one. Was wrecked in the Thames once on Good Friday, kicked off my shoes while swimming ashore, could not, of course, buy new ones, & came back to London by train (& taxi) in stockinged feet in a crowded excursion train. Spending this summer wandering about Germany in a 15ft boat with my wife, who is a county hockey player. Chief distinction, being the laziest man north of Naples'. A scarce and amusing letter, written on April Fools' Day.

DU MAURIER DAPHNE: (1907-1989) British Author. A.L.S., Daphne, two pages, 8vo, Cannon Hall, Hampstead, n.d. ('New Year's Day'), to [Foy Quiller-Couch]. Du Maurier announces 'Bless you. I can go out and conquer a world now. I'll not be afraid any more' and continues 'I go into the slaughter house on Monday, but as I still have a heavy cold they can't cut me up until its better'. Du Maurier further invites her friend to come and see her, adding 'And wear the blue beret - be you. Yes - I'll work you off your legs, my girl - you wait! Your letter has made me supremely happy!'. Some light overall age wear and creasing and a few small tears and small areas of paper loss at the edges, about G Foy Quiller-Couch - daughter of British writer Arthur Quiller-Couch (1863-1944), and a life-long friend of Du Maurier. Indeed, Du Maurier was accompanied by Foy Quiller-Couch when she became inspired with the storyline for her novel Jamaica Inn. In 1930, apparently around the time of the present letter, the two ladies were staying at Jamaica Inn and went riding on Bodmin Moor. They became lost in bad weather conditions and apparently sheltered for some time in a derelict cottage on the moor but were eventually led back to Jamaica Inn by their horses.

'Alas, I am called Mourning…’ HUGO VICTOR: (1802-1885) French Poet & Novelist. A poignant A.L.S., with his initials V. H., one page, small 8vo, n.p., 27th October n.y. (1843?), to an unidentified correspondent, in French.

Luctus Sum' ('I am grieving'). A few words of text are a little light. A band of uniform discoloration to almost one half of the page, lightly affecting the text and the second initial of Hugo's signature. About G Hugo's oldest and favourite daughter, Leopoldine, had tragically died on 4th September 1843 at the young age of 19. She drowned in the Seine at Villequier, pulled down by her heavy skirts, when a boat overturned. The event occurred shortly after her marriage to Charles Vacquerie, who also died in his attempts to save his wife. The death left Hugo devastated; he was travelling in the South of France with his mistress at the time and first learned of Leopoldine's death from a newspaper he read in a café. He wrote many poems afterwards about his daughter's life and death.

Grubb informs his correspondent 'No book has appeared since The Barefoot Man and I am just getting into another one, the tentative title of which is Let The Clocks Run Down. It is (a switch) about a Conspiracy to Prevent the President from Being Assassinated and that's all I am going to tell you about it (I don't really know much more) save to say that, as I now envision it, it will have all and more of the suspense and excitement of The Night of The Hunter or The Watchman' and continues 'I begin a book with a desparate (sic) idea in which I half-believe, force myself to continue, and soon become so hooked with the idea that I am forced to complete it out of curiosity to see how it will all come out. Much of the same motive works in reading a book, I suppose.' He further writes 'one of the strongest literary influences in my life as a writing man has always been that brave, tragic New Zealand genius Katherine Mansfield. She and Kipling and Stevenson just about complete that pattern and the other two have associations not too remote from Australia' and also refers to several of his books, recommending that his correspondent tries and locates a copy of A Tree Full of Stars at the Gotham Book Mart in New York. In concluding Grubb reflects 'The kinship which art establishes for a writer is of a most delicate and yet substantial nature. Letters from far corners of the earth don't come often but when they do they are like the warm breath of exotic breezes against one's weary brow. A writer wonders -- at least I do -- when he sits down amid the solitudes and begins the first picking at his typewriter who (if anyone) is going to be hearing his small, lost voice....' Beneath his signature Grubb has added a small original drawing of a flower. A letter of interesting content. Some very light creasing and minor age wear, otherwise VG
