HURST FANNIE: (1885-1968) American Novelist. Series of six A.Ls.S., six T.Ls.S. and a further ten memos and autograph notes etc., a few signed in full, some signed with her initials or a drawing of a lily, and others unsigned, twenty seven pages (total), 4to, 8vo and 12mo, various places (New York, Trinidad), October - December 1955 (although most with n.d.), to Alix Williamson. Hurst writes on a variety of subjects, finalising a contract with Williamson, discussing her work and ideas for future projects, providing details of various talks, arranging appointments, in part, 'Our enterprise-public-relations is now a few months old. I bear in mind what you warned about getting off to a slow start, so while I wish such were not the case, am not unprepared for it. What I do feel however, is the need for a more original approach….I have not a "public-relations-mind" so must look to you for the suggestions….You remarked when we started that you had "plans in the making" Are they coming along?' (29th December 1955), 'I certainly did not mean to give you the impression that I was not in favour of radio appearances, and I want us to proceed along those lines. What I attempted to point out was the fact that such appearances have been my practice over the years, and I think we need a variation of some sort. That is what I meant by "original" thinking. Obviously the ordinary guest appearance had not done the job in the past. I know there are "devices" for projecting an idea, but I am not sufficiently familiar, as I stated, with your vocation to have any ideas of my own' (31st December 1955), 'Wanted a story developed out of an incident pertaining to me and the trial by "welfare groups" of the teen age murderers' (n.d.), 'Can you come up with any ideas to break the stale mate. The type of story that appeared in the hotel magazine - but in a national publication? Or something with an "angle"…..Or even "spots" here there & everywhere' (n.d.), 'Are you going ahead with what you have for photographic spread? Seems to me "person-to-person" in the home sort of thing is having its moment' (n.d.), 'The difficult we do immediately. The impossible takes a little longer! If Fannie believes that, let her go ahead. I did' (n.d.), 'When I was newly out of college I wanted to leave my home for New York and a writing career. My parents were deeply disturbed. One evening, during the controversy, a learned and locally famous friend came to call. My father bluntly placed the family problem before him, urging him to impress upon me the difficulties, not to say impossibilities, inherent in my ambitions. Our friend spoke words that burn indelibly across my memory; "The latent powers within human beings are phenomenal"' (n.d.), 'Embarrassing Incident. One evening, at a junction, I was introduced by a friend to a lady from Austin, Texas. Hurst? she repeated. Are you related to William Randolph Hearst? No I replied, I spell my name differently. Are you one of the Hursts from Baltimore she persisted. Bishop Hurst is a distant relative of my husband. You'll soon accuse me of being Fannie Hurst I parried. Oh no, she retorted, she's old enough to be your grandmother' (n.d.). Accompanied by a printed magazine article about Hurst written by Williamson and entitled New York way of Living. Some light overall age wear, some with minor tears to the edges etc. Generally G to VG, 23 £150-200 Alix Williamson (1916-2001) American Publicist who specialised in promoting musical artists including The Trapp Family Singers.
Highly Important Manuscript Account Stack (Austin) Important manuscript document headed 'Copy 20.8.29 Own acc/ of Negotiations', in Mrs. Stack's hand. 50pp, on lined paper, secured with staples, with a separate paper label addressed to Austin Stack. With a typescript document (carbon copy) headed 'Second statement of Mrs. Austin Stack,' 61pp, numbered 1 - 17, 20-63 (i.e. lacking pp. 18/19), possibly a copy of a statement to the Bureau of Military History. The manuscript statement consists of Mrs. Stack's transcript of Austin Stack's own account of his part in the negotiations which led up to the Truce, his knowledge of the Treaty talks, dealings with De Valera, Griffith, Collins, etc., cabinet discussions, talks with A.W. Cope and James Mac Mahon, etc., etc., copied from an original written while he was in prison on hunger strike (presumably 1923), not knowing whether he would live or die. The typescript includes a full transcript of the manuscript (in pp. 26 - 63), with an earlier narrative by Stack of events from his hunger strike in Belfast Jail (November 1918) to May 1919, pp. 7-17, and with introductory and connecting passages by Mrs. Stack. The two missing pages do not appear to be of great consequence. Together these are documents of considerable importance, containing first hand accounts of many significant events and discussions - hunger strikes, Truce and Treaty talks, setting up of Republican Courts etc. Austin Stack was Minister for Home Affairs in the first and second Dail, a close associate of De Valera and a leading anti-Treaty activist. He died in 1929, still a young man but weakened by repeated hunger strikes. As archive material, w.a.f. Family Provenance. (1)

The Kevin Barry Stained Glass Window King (Richard J.) [1907-74] Two framed cartoons, crayon and ink, each circa 27" x 30", showing sections of his great window in memory of Kevin Barry, made in stained glass at the Harry Clarke Studios and now at University College Dublin. There are eight panels in the finished window. The present drawings relate to two of the eight, including the bottom right panel which shows Barry under arrest by British soldiers, with the words 'Chun Saoirse na hEireann' ['Towards Irish Freedom']. The other panel 'The Flight of Eoin Roe O'Neill' these appear to be all that has survived of the original drawings. * Kevin Barry, a medical student at UCD, was arrested after a raid on a military lorry in which several British soldiers were killed. He was aged 18 when hanged in Mountjoy Jail on 1 November 1920. 'Just a lad of eighteen summers ..' * Richard King was born in Castlebar, the son of a sergeant in the RIC. Coming to Dublin in 1926, he enrolled at the Metropolitan School of Art, where he studied under Austin Molloy. On Molloy's recommendation he went to work at the Harry Clarke studios, and in 1935 (after Clarke's death) he became manager of the Studios. Later he worked as a freelance artist, completing commissions of various kinds including ecclesiastical art, postage stamp design etc. (2) Provenance: Family of Richard King, by descent.
The Republican Poetess Cavanagh MacDowell (Maeve) A folder containing a large collection of her original poetry, many signed, probably intended for a collected edition, with about 75 pages typescript (some duplication), including a poem in memory of Hermann Goertz, and about 15 items in manuscript, some signed, many with corrections, also a typescript list of her works and some other items. * The folder also includes a sheet in Cavanagh's hand headed 'The night before 1916 in Liberty Hall', giving an important eyewitness account of the scene in Liberty Hall as Connolly tried to reassure Citizen Army members that the planned Rising had only been postponed. 'I remember how indignantly they exclaimed "Ah they'll never do anything". But Connolly soothed them down and told us all things would go on and it would be only a part postponement. He then showed us along the passages & into one of the rooms, the girls were still venting their disappointment. Dr. Lynn was there - Helena Molony & Mary Perotz ..' [See R.M. Fox's chapter on Cavanagh in his 'Rebel Irishwomen', elsewhere in this sale, where some of this account is confirmed]. The folder also contains an incomplete letter in an unknown hand, apparently referring to an occasion when Mary MacSwiney prevented a letter from [Michael] Collins being given to [her brother] Terry, then towards the end of his hunger strike. [It has been reported elsewhere that Collins urged MacSwiney to call off his strike]. There is also a letter or draft letter in Cavanagh's hand to a newspaper about cock-fighting, and a few childish letters addressed to 'Dear Nan'. The poetry is of mixed quality. Cavanagh was not a major poet, but she was not without talent, and the best items in this collection are certainly worth preserving. Maeve Cavanagh was an early member of the Gaelic League in Dublin; later she moved to Sligo and Derry. She began writing verses for The Peasant, edited by W.P. Ryan, and wrote for various Republican and left-wing papers after her return to Dublin around 1910. She was often in Liberty Hall, and on Easter Monday morning, 1916, she was sent to Waterford with James Connolly's message, 'We fight at noon'. By the time she was able to return to Dublin, it was all over. Her brother, Ernest Cavanagh, drew cartoons for the Irish Worker, for which Maeve wrote the captions. He was shot dead by a British soldier while standing unarmed on the steps of Liberty Hall on Easter Tuesday 1916. As a collection, w.a.f. (1) Provenance: From the family of Austin Stack.
