Typed letter signed on printed letterhead, Oak Cottage, Wimbledon Common, 6th April 1930, to Mr. Minney, thanking him for his letter and awaiting his final decision about some stories and articles, continuing that if 'a John Gray sends you any stuff it would be worth looking at. He is a clever kid - a cripple, with tremendous pluck and high spirits, and a keen cockney sense of humour and intelligence', continuing with more good testamonial for John Gray in order to secure a job for him, together with a further Tls to James Minney, dated 10th November 1931, all concerning some harsh criticism she had received, 'controversy is one thing, insult quite another ... not merely did you attack me in your paper, but actually wrote and signed the attack yourself - and followed it up with insults from a lot of ignorant stupid women - and ran a poster calculated to try and increase your sales through that attack', concluding in a similar vein, both one page 4to, together with another letter to Minney from Elinor Glyn, plus an Als from the artist William Powell Frith (1819-1909), plus a small group of approx. twenty letters and cards from the writer James Pope-Hennessy (1916-74), mostly to 'Darling Anne' (approx. 25)
