With the original envelope, addressed in Shaw's holograph. Ottoline's health had been frail since her operation for necrosis of the jaw in 1928. She placed great faith in Dr. A. J. Cameron at the Sherwood Park Clinic at Tunbridge Wells. It is generally accepted that Cameron's use of the controversial drug Prontosil contributed to Ottoline's death on 21st April 1938. Cameron had committed suicide three days earlier. (1)

Railway Wooden Police Truncheon, London & Brighton Railway. A quite magnificent item of considerable rarity. Almost 19" in length, it bears the large, Victoria Crown emblem at the top with 'LBR' in large, script lettering beneath. At the bottom of the shaft is the word 'Constable' within a wreath. The base of the handle has a small painted '69'. The usual LBR Truncheons have the crest and company name in full; this example is considerably scarcer than those. The London & Brighton Railway was opened between Norwood Junction and Brighton in May 1840 and amalgamated with the London & Croydon Railway to form the LBSCR in July 1846. Therefore, this Truncheon is easy to date as 1840-46. Extremely good condition throughout.
