Brunel, two pages, 8vo, Thames Tunnel, 22nd April 1836, to Baron Delessert, first half written in French and second in English.

They report about us…and the loss of 30 persons on one of the lines only, the one of Birmingham…we can be proud of not having suffered till today any accident nor danger, and our workers are all healthy and “in good spirits”.´ Brunel further continues in English `We are going today to apply for a second payment from the Treasury where the funds are prepared for us..´ and ends referring to his son `My son is flying above…No less than 5 millions Sterling now in his hands of Railways, of those that bear the highest premiums, and more over a deputation from Wales just come to invite him to take another that will send a million, that is enough for a young man of just 30.´ With small paper loss to a corner of the blank address leaf bearing a red wax seal.

GURNEY BUD: (1906-1982) American Aviator and friend of Charles Lindbergh. Gurney is the only other pilot to have flown The Spirit of St. Louis. An interesting T.L.S., Bud Gurney, one page, 4to, n.p., 24th May 1977, to Alden. Gurney thanks his correspondent for an article that they had written for News Week, remarking ‘It was factual and to the point. Not at all like some things I have read’ and also writing ‘Now, one of the major T.V. circuits is advertising a re-hash of the Hauptmann trial. They will do anything for a dollar! I don’t see how Anne [Morrow Lindbergh, the pilot’s wife] can take much more of the torture she has had to bear’, further adding ‘The St. Louis Lindbergh Anniversary was surely the greatest in this country. There were about 1200 seats at the black tie banquet and perhaps a half million on the water-front to witness the afternoon air show and night acrobatics and fireworks. The afternoon parade was several miles long and required more than two hours to pass. I don’t think any other city came close to St. Louis. The Spirit of St. Louis really came through!’ and recounting a joke told by Lowell Thomas in Chicago. Gurney concludes ‘Fifty years from now there will be another anniversary of Lindbergh’s flight but I doubt very much if my telephone will be ringing as it has of late’. A letter of good content written in the year of the 50th Anniversary of Lindbergh’s historic flight. VG £100-120 Charles Lindbergh (1902-1974) American Aviator who made the first solo non-stop flight across the Atlantic Ocean, in The Spirit of St. Louis, 20th - 21st May 1927.

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.
