Cond. In a number of the letters Channing discusses a property he should like to purchase and enquires as to whether his correspondent knows of 'a timbered 4-6 room cottage which is for sale?', specifying that 'it must have a garden in which nightingales sing in nightingale time' (25th August 1933), further remarking 'Indeed I was serious about the cottage I am looking for…Please, instead of stopping keeping an eye open, keep open both your kind eyes!' (28th August 1933), and in other letters he also refers to his work, 'Have you a Boots' circulating library near you? If you have, and will ask them for "White Python" they will get it for you. When you have read it, I hope you will let me know whether you like it. It has just gone into its third edition' (25th May 1934), 'My next book will be called "The Poisoned Mountain"….Your criticism of "White Python" interested me. I don't think you'll find my next novel too fantastic' (25th March 1935), 'I am expecting to finish my new book "IndianMosaic" (a series of pen pictures of the India I knew & loved for 20 years) before Xmas. But…I may, when it is written, decide not to publish it, but to write another novel & let this semi-autobiography simmer, or mature. I do not feel that my readers wd. be much interested….they'd far prefer, I imagine, a tale I'd thought out on the lines of "King Cobra" - wh. story, by the way, has just finished running with Figaro! (Paris).' (28th November 1935),'My new book -(semi-autobiographical)- comes out….very shortly. Let me know how you like it, & why so, or not so!' (7th May 1936), 'Yes, you sent me your kind opinion of Indian Mosaic, in wh. you said I had not said enough about elephants! But you did not tell me what you wd. like my next "adventure story" to be about. So I have started on a Himalayan adventure with a new hero & heroine' (16th September 1936), 'My kitten is exceedingly flattered to receive your message & is sitting on the top half of this sheet of paper, as if censoring all my remarks! Heaven knows when I'll finish my new book. Haven't started it yet. I'm too busy trying to "see" it' (6th October 1936), 'I have to give a resume of KingCobra very swiftly & describe my previous characters - Colin, Diana….so that the reader who has not read 'K.C.' shall understand the background. And believe me, that is a tiresome business. At the 9th attempt I have gotten together a first chapter wh. I fancy will stand.' (21st December n.y.), 'The writing of the new novel - a Colin Gray thriller, but not wildly impossible - proceeds, but slowly. It is to be called "Nine Lives" & will (naturally) contain a kitten - my kitten. In the end it - but I won't spoil the story for you by telling you it in advance!' (10th December n.y.). Also including a promotional postcard issued for The Poisoned Mountain, featuring a portrait of Channing and various printed texts, signed and inscribed by Channing with his initials, two greetings cards, one signed by Channing and the other by the author on behalf of his cat, and two unsigned candid 2.5 x 4 photographs of Channing standing outdoors, in one of the images holding his cat.

MILLAIS JOHN EVERETT: (1829-1896) English Painter, one of the founders of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. A.L.S., John Everett Millais, three pages, 8vo, Bowerswell, Perth, 3rd August 1857, to a gentleman. Millais begins his letter in a polite manner, 'I hope you will pardon me for addressing you without being personally known to you, but as you have very kindly granted me a favour through my Father in law I will take the liberty of answering your letter to him' and continues 'I think the little boy I am desirous to paint is the elder of the two, for he has a rounder, & larger face with rather longer hair, he generally sits beside you at St. Johns and has a little nervous way of twitching his face….From the first moment I saw him, he struck me as being one of the most beautiful little fellows I have ever seen and I am very anxious to get a perfect resemblance of him in one of my pictures'. Millais further suggests a convenient time and day to commence his painting, commenting 'I shall not require him to sit more than three, or four times & I will take every care not to tire him'. A letter of good content & written from an interesting location. Some very slight, extremely minor traces of former mounting to the verso of the final page, otherwise VG Bowerswell was the family home of the Scottish lawyer and businessman George Gray (1798-1877) and his wife Sophia Margaret Gray, who together produced some fifteen children. Two of their daughters are of particular note, Euphemia ('Effy') Gray (1828-1897) wife of the critic John Ruskin who left her husband (without the marriage having been consummated) and later married Millais in 1855 and her younger sister Sophia Margaret ('Sophy') Gray (1843-1882) who served as muse to her brother in law.

GAINSBOROUGH THOMAS: (1727-1788) English Portrait & Landscape Painter, a founding member of the Royal Academy of Arts. Gainsborough was the dominant British portraitist of the second half of the 18th century, surpassing his rival Joshua Reynolds. An extremely rare D.S., Tho Gainsborough, one page, oblong 8vo, n.p., 21st March 1768. The manuscript document, entirely in the hand of the painter, is a receipt for the sum of 'ten guineas' received from Sir John Sebright 'being half payment for a three quarter Portrait.' Signed by Gainsborough at the foot and docketed by Sebright to the verso. Very slightly irregularly torn to the right edge and lower right corner, not affecting the text or signature, otherwise VG Sir John Sebright (1725-1794) British General and Politician, a close friend of the Irish statesman and writer Edmund Burke. Gainsborough's portrait of Sebright was executed in oil on canvas, the image shown within an oval and depicting the subject in a three quarter length pose, wearing uniform, with his head turned towards the viewer. The portrait was exhibited by Sir Edgar Sebright (1854-1917) in the late 19th century and was more recently sold at Sotheby's in New York on 17th January 1992. Sir Edgar Sebright also owned portraits by Gainsborough's great rival, Joshua Reynolds. Autographs of Gainsborough are extremely rare in any form and American Book Prices Current record only eleven examples having been sold at auction since 1975, only one of these being a similar receipt to the present lot. It is also interesting to note that in the recently published biography Gainsborough: A Portrait, the author James Hamilton laments the fact that Gainsborough's letters and other papers were mostly destroyed after his death in 1788.

WILLIAMS TENNESSEE: (1911-1983) American Playwright who adapted much of his best work for the cinema. Pulitzer Prize winner 1948 & 1955. A good, interesting A.L.S., Tenn Williams, one page, 4to (written to the verso of a T.L.S. to the playwright from M. David Samples, a college teacher in New York), n.p. (New York), 8th June 1972, to Mr. Samples. Williams responds to the letter from Samples, dated 5th June 1972, in which the teacher writes, in part, 'I understand you will be on hand for discussion following performances this week….I am bringing to a close my class on Contemporary Dramatic Literature with a study of your plays. The students have posed a number of questions which I am naturally unable to answer…..I hoped you might find a moment to pen an answer. They would, of course, be so terribly impressed if the answer came directly from the playwright. Several students seem to feel a definite parallel between certain characters in your one acts, and events as well, that appear to have been reused, expanded or used in variation later in your full lengths. For example, Portrait of a Madonna and Streetcar Named Desire, Lord Byron's Love Letter and Glass Menagerie etc. Or is it merely the ideas that seem similar?'. The playwright initially apologises for writing his reply on the verso of his correspondent's letter ('I am in the dressing room without stationery') and continues to address the observations presented to him, 'I am mystified by the parallel between "Lord Byron's" & "Glass Menagerie" - but I am surely well aware that there is a continuity of concerns and ideas running through my fiction and plays', further adding 'This seems to be true of all "organic writing" - I am sure you know what I mean'. A letter of fine literary content with references to his first major success. Some traces of former mounting to the upper and lower edges of the recto (featuring the letter of Samples) which has resulted in some very minor staining to the upper and lower edges of the verso, only very minimally affecting the date and a few words of the letter by Williams. Otherwise VG The Glass Menagerie (1944) is a five-character memory play by Williams with strong autobiographical elements, reflecting closely on his own unhappy family background. The playwas Williams's first major success, catapulting him from obscurity to fame and pathing the way for his reputation as one of America's most highly respected playwrights.

Applying the Richter scale of one to twelve, this would give a reading of from six… to nine'Together with an A.L.S., John Osborne, to the verso of a picture postcard reproduction of Mark Gerson's portrait of the playwright incorporating the façade of the Royal Court Theatres and their production of Look Back in Anger, n.p., 2nd June 1993, to Karl Heinz Fleitmann.
