*Waugh (Evelyn, 1903-1966). Autograph letter signed, 'Evelyn Waugh', Piers Court, Stinchcombe, Gloucestershire, Christmas Day, 1946, to Monsieur Danver, giving a lengthy account of his entire career up until 1946, Danver was the French translator of 'Vile Bodies': 'your translation... will breathe new life into a text which has become somewhat "dated" in the original', and answering questions about specific phrases and references in the novel, 'Blast was an avant garde publication of the time - Vorticist, - edited by Wyndham Lewis, probably now forgotten by all but a dozen Englishmen', and regretting that he has no recent photograph but enclosing 'a reproduction of the portrait of me made in the year I wrote "Vile Bodies". Perhaps that could be used by the publishers, but they must make plain that I am now 17 years older, fatter & uglier', then giving a lengthy autobiographical account with his academic and other achievements, Modern History at Oxford, painting, cabinet making, all described parenthetically as 'without glory', before listing his publications including his first novel 'Decline and Fall' which 'was a success. Since then I have had no bitter struggles for recognition & have always been unduly praised by critics & unduly prosperous', mentioning his war service, 'varied, enjoyable but without distinction... finished the war among Tito's beastly partisans', his marriage and conversion to Catholicism, and, finally, 'Brideshead Revisited' on which he comments, 'This book is more serious than its predecessors, has annoyed most of the English critics and delighted illiterate Americans in a disconcerting way. But I like it', 4 pp., the final two pages written longitudinally down the centre spread, a little creased at edges, 4to, together with the aforementioned colour reproduction portrait after Lamb, inscribed and initialled by Waugh in ink to lower margin, 'Now aged 43 and much altered for the worse', 8vo, the two items preserved in a purpose-made cloth chemise and quarter morocco gilt book box (2)

*Limehouse Declaration. The Declaration for Social Democracy, 25 January 1981, printed statement on thick parchment paper, signed at foot by Roy Jenkins (1920-2003), Bill Rodgers (1928-), Shirley Williams (1930-) and David Owen (1938-), SDP 'Social Democratic Party' circular blind stamp lower left, 40 x 30 cm The SDP began in January 1981 with what became known as the Limehouse Declaration, a statement of intent by four former Labour Cabinet ministers, wanting a more centralist path than the Labour party. The party was formally founded on 26 March, and within a few months had formed an Alliance with the Liberal Party. The SDP merged with the Liberal Party following the General Election of 1987, the unification process being completed in 1988. No other copies of this signed document have been located and how many copies were printed and signed is unknown. The SDP blind stamp would suggest a date of some time shortly after the official founding on 26 March 1981. (1)
