* Mitford (Nancy Freeman, 1904-1973). A good collection of 17 Autograph Letters Signed and 8 postcards, signed variously 'Nancy Mitford', 'Nancy Rodd', 'Nancy' & 'NM', primarily from Paris, 1967-72, the letters a total of 30 pages, some scattered spotting and creasing, 4to/8vo (Qty: 25)NOTESThe wit for which Mitford was so well known as a correspondent shows through these letters, even when she was in great pain and most desperately ill with the cancer which was shortly to end her life. ‘... I’m fascinated by what you say of the archives of St G[ermain] des Prs - what a lot of French stuff there is in Russia. I've just done an essay on Carlyle & F[rederick] the Great & remarked, though it's perhaps not very original, that whereas modern historians put everything down to economic trends the 19th cent English ones put everything down to religion. I suppose it's because the modern ones despise this attitude that they avert their eyes from the Wars of Religion. …' ‘… You might go & see Mr Buchanan at the bookshop [Heywood Hill] … . Sometimes they print little things in limited editions for sophisticated customers (a few dirty words if there are any might be a help!!). …’ ‘… The awful thing about being ill nowadays is that nobody takes an interest in you - all the doctors spend their time either I suppose transplanting hearts or else patching up road accident victims. When I was young the Dr used to pop in to see how you were. It was more comfortable. In 5 weeks I've only seen doctors twice - my own & the specialist. I hope they are praying for one but doubt it! …’ [After reading Washington Square :] '... My view about marrying for money is that people must have a reason for falling in love & that is often money, but doesn't prevent a marriage from being as happy as when founded on other reasons: sex, power & so on! I would like to have had a word with the doctor! But I think he was one of those fathers unable to bear the idea of his daughter marrying at all. …’ ‘… Misprints. I was thinking, while reading for Frederick, how old books never have them. They are among the wonders of progress. Partisan for artisan is rich. The worst is that the reader NEVER twigs.’ ‘… Noel Coward really was I.S. here (in a cloak & dagger flat with 3 entrances) but I am NOT (far too deaf & dotty I fear). …’
* Sitwell (Edith, 1887-1964). A series of 18 letters, six in the third person, to her insurance brokers, largely relating to jewellery purchases, 1954-1964, all to the Atlas Insurance Company, some to named individuals, together with five letters written on her behalf by secretaries, and a valuation certificate from Cameo Corner, 1958, a total of 38 pages, small 4to (Qty: 23)NOTES'... When the Manager was so kind as to insure Dame Edith's Jewellery some time ago, amongst the items was a Renaissance pendant, consisting of a Queen's Head carved out of a garnet, with a gold crown, and surrounded by branches with flowers of white enamel with centres of rubies. (To this subsequently added a brooch - value £65, I think, if I remember rightly, from Cameo Corner. ...The whole jewel was inadequately priced at the moment. Dame Edith's secretary, Miss Salter, took it the other day, to be valued at Messrs. Philipps, the antique jewellers, of New Bond Street, and they said that although it was impossible, really, to price it, as it is a work of art, they would sell it for £600. ...' '.. a deep blue, square-oblong aquamarine ring, purchased for £160. '... my sable-dyed Rolinsky coat, bought by me for £82. 19s. '... I have just (with my Guinness prize) bought two new rings from Cameo Corner ... the amount I shall pay for these will be either £175 or £180. '... One ring is an amethyst surrounded by diamonds, the other a ring of small pearls with a few tiny diamonds interspersed. ... Incidentally, I changed the amethyst ring, and the pearl ring that I bought last autumn, for a topaz & pearl ring, and three half hoop pearl rings. These came to £25 less than the others, but I shall, when I have been televised, get another ring which will increase that sum. etc. etc. ...' Edith Sitwell was well-known for her extravagant taste in jewellery, and this correspondence shows how seriously she took the question of valuing her new purchases, very many of them from Cameo Corner in Museum Street, London. Dame Edith (who, as ever, insists that she should be properly identified as 'Dame' or 'D.B.E.'), describes the individual purchases in her letters, and is most particular to ensure that she has full insurance cover when travelling abroad. The letters reveal not only an enthusiastic collector but a remarkably business-like personality. The letters are variously written from Renishaw Hall, The Sesame and Imperial Club, and Chicago, and all bear the received-stamp of the Leeds branch of the insurers, some being annotated with financial calculations in pencil.
