Forgive me for not sending you a more tidy copy - still, it is legible, and I hope it may amuse you to read some parts of it - it amused me quite enormously to write it’, and referring to suggestions as to the illustrations that Orpen might care to make, ‘but you will do whatever you think best, and thus put me eternally in your debt - I have not thought of the financial problem which I leave entirely to you - the real thing to me is that you are kind friend. By the way, you will see that there is a gap in my narrative preceeding the great German attack of March 21st 1918 - it is here, that you come into my story: Antoine d’Orleans lunch at Amiens, your painting of my portrait and his in old marquis de Bargumont’s house just before the Germans march into it, as they had done in 1914. I have composed this bit, but there was not time to get it into type’, the two leaves tipped at upper margin onto two separate blank leaves at front of vol., both t.e.g., contemp. calf bound by the Times Book Club, gilt titled spines (The Adventures of Major General John Seely and vol. 2 subtitled European War), both slightly soiled and heavily rubbed, 4to/folio. Seely’s book was published as ‘Adventure’ in one volume by William Heinemann in 1930 with illustrations from portraits by William Orpen and A. J. Munnings. Seely’s account begins with his early years including eduction at Harrow School where he met Stanley Baldwin and Winston Churchill, the latter becoming a life-long friend. He served with the Imperial Yeomanry in the second Boer War and was mentioned in Dispatches. He was a Conservative Member of Parliament from 1900 to 1904 and a Liberal MP from 1904 to 1922 and from 1923 to 1924. In 1912, Seely was appointed Secretary of State for War. He had particular involvement in the development of a Flying Corps during World War One, during which time he became a Major General and Commander of the Canadian Cavalry Brigade.
