DOWDING HUGH: (1882-1970) British Air Chief Marshal, Commander of RAF Fighter Command during the Battle of Britain. A remarkable War date A.L.S., Dowding, three pages, 8vo, Wimbledon, London, 23rd June 1944, to Mrs. Bines. Dowding thanks his correspondent for her letter and remarks 'Since I finished my book I have had a good deal of personal experience of a different kind & I agree with almost everything you say in your letter', adding 'Knowing my interest in the matter, my wife has sent me a long message about the animals which I hope to publish in my next book', continuing 'Animals have their own sphere, but pets can be retained in the human spheres so long as the love-link lasts'. Dowding also comments on motors, remarking 'my point was that in spite of the ease of personal movement they had artificial transport such as chariots; but in none of the books I had read then was there any mention of mechanical vehicles. In my own later messages however motors are mentioned & aeroplanes are common (all imaginary of course)' and further states 'If rivers are real & permanent the water is running down hill all the time & must presumably be replenished at the top. If they are imaginary the difficulty does not arise: as they may be seeing the Astral aspect of our existing rivers.' The Air Chief Marshal also reveals 'Fairies, gnomes & nature spirits in general I now accept holus bolus as to their existence. As to photographs of them I retain a healthy skepticism unless I know all about the conditions in which the photos were produced. My doubts about Reincarnation have now been removed also' and concludes 'I hope to get another book out by the end of the year, but I never get time for it just now'. A letter of extraordinary content for the references Dowding makes to his interest in spiritualism and belief in fairies and reincarnation. Some light overall creasing, age wear and minor foxing and with a few small tears to the edges, none of which significantly affect the text or signature, G Dowding was actively interested in spiritualism, both as a writer and speaker, as the present letter illustrates. His first wife, Clarice Maud Vancourt, had died suddenly in 1920, and the form that the message Dowding received from her, as mentioned in the letter, was presumably transmitted spiritually. The Air Chief Marshal was a member of the Theosophical Society, which advocated a belief in reincarnation, and he wrote of encounters with deceased Royal Air Force pilots in his sleep, describing them as 'spirits who flew fighters from mountain-top runways made of light'. Although aware of people considering him a crank for his belief in fairies and gnomes, Dowding (a vegetarian and member of the semi-secret occult group The Fairy Investigation Society) nevertheless believed that fairies were 'essential to the growth of plants and the welfare of the vegetable kingdom' and evidently found some sympathy towards his beliefs and views in the recipient of the present letter.

Gregory The Gift of Richard Hopton Esqr. at Canon Frome Septbr. 8th 1748. These books were Sr Wm Gregory's but bought by my mother when my Fathers Personal Estate was appraised at How Capel 1702 - 2 volumes' and 'Dr Gregorys Monument in Hambleton Church in Berkshire. He was Rector there', and with removed bookplate, all edges gilt, contemporary brown morocco with elaborate gilt decoration, joints split (old repair to upper joint), loss of leather at foot of spine, some wear, 4to Herbert 432; Darlow & Moule 331 and STC 2293. The New Testament part only of the Bible (NT comprising leaves 3O1-4E6). This and the black-letter issue of the same year are the first quarto editions of King James' version printed at Cambridge, being a reprint of the Cambridge folio of 1629. Sir William Gregory (1625-1696) was a British judge and politician. In 1677 he was elected a Serjeant-at-law and also sat as Member of Parliament for Weobly, Herefordshire. In the same year Gregory purchased the manor and estate of How Caple, Herefordshire, from Edward Caple, whose family had held it since 1289. After only a year in Parliament he was elected to serve as Speaker of the House of Commons in the Habeas Corpus Parliament. In 1689 he was appointed Chief Justice of the King's Bench, a position he held until his death. Richard Hopton (1685-1764), of Canon Frome, near Hereford married on 9th December 1705, Elizabeth, the daughter of Thomas Geers, M.P., of Bridge Sellers, Herefordshire. Elizabeth was the widow of a William Gregory (1676-1702) of How Caple. They had two children William (c.1700-1765) & Elizabeth Gregory. It would appear that at the time Richard Hopton gifted the Bible to William, the first volume (Old Testament) was included. (1)
