Cawley writes a social letter to his mother, informing her of recent activities, 'I went down to Salisbury plain…..I took advantage of my presence there to have a trip in an aeroplane. I went up about 700' - it was perfectly safe as no wind was blowing but I did not enjoy it, as I could not get over the fact that there was 700' of space between myself and the earth. I dined with Father & Oswald at the Automobile club on the night before the Olympic sailed & after dinner O & I went to see Kismet…..' and of his work, 'I shall be rather pressed with work for the next six weeks until the two books on which I am at present engaged are sent off for proofs to be printed, after that work will be intermittent, hard when the proofs come back for correction & easy when they have been sent off again…..'.

In a time when you are suffering great distress at his loss it will I trust be some comfort to Lady Cawley and you that his brilliant career ended as no doubt he would have wished to die when his time had come…..let me add that when his name was read out at the Cabinet today the sentiments I am expressing most imperfectly were rumoured all round the table by those of us who knew how bright, able and high spirited he had been', 3rd September 1914), C. J. Briggs (contemporary unsigned typed copy of a letter written On Active Service detailing Cawley's death, in part, 'On the early morning of the 1st September, when the Brigade was severely attacked, your Son and my Brigade Major was unfortunately hit by a shell on the head. He never recovered consciousness, and died in about fifteen minutes…..He has been a true friend, a loyal, zealous and conscientious Staff Officer to me…..He proved himself to be a real fighter in war, and was always cool and collected…..', 3rd September 1914), G. W. Browne (in part, '….as an old friend & a stout admirer of your brilliant son, with whom I had the honour to serve for 10 years in the 20th Hussars & whom I always tried to copy in every possible way - as being in my opinion the best soldier I have ever met, may I be permitted to express the regret which I feel only too strongly at his death…..The Army & nation have lost a brilliant soldier…..', 10th September [1914]), Major Rex Osborne (contemporary unsigned typed copy of a letter and a further holograph retained draft of the second page only of another letter, written and signed in pencil, in part, 'Our brigade was attacked soon after dawn at Nery by a force double our numbers….Our Brigade headquarters were more or less in the middle of the village and the enemy's fire was mainly directed at the Southern end of the village…..Stephen like the rest of us saw at once that the situation was exceedingly serious….it was an occasion which called for personal example from the senior officers. For this reason Stephen asked the General if he might go the South end of the village, and try to help restore order….He did so and then lay down behind a small bank in the advanced line beside Major Browning…..At that moment Major Ing, Queen's Bays was hit. Stephen said to Major Browning “Poor Ing's hit” and was then himself struck on the right side of the head above his ear and behind it by a piece of shell…..They carried him into a small house which was improvised into a temporary hospital. I went to say a last good-bye to him after he was dead and he looked quite happy. He was buried there…..' the holograph page stating, in part, '….on Stephen's grave the Germans had erected a small wooden cross….I established without doubt that Stephen was one of the 4 officers and all the identity of the other 3, and I wrote their names on the wooden cross. Besides Stephen in that grave lie Capt. Bradbury RHA (VC after death) Lt. Campbell RHA, Lt. de Crespigny Queen's Bays. He, at least, is laid beside men who are worthy comrades').
