* Baden-Powell (Sir Robert, 1st Baron, 1857-1941). A long Autograph Letter Signed as ‘Wunhi’, Meerut, N.W.P., 8 October 1897, [to Mrs Compton Turner], ’I think you would have laughed as you see me yesterday evening. I had intended to go out to Mashobra in the afternoon (having arrived in Simla at daybreak) but I was waylaid by the theatre folk who were for making me take a part in "Sweetheart" – "Dress rehearsal on Saturday – performance on Monday & Tuesday-“ “What? And give up Bendochy? I’d rather die first!” So then they insisted that I might buy myself off by painting scenery and like the ass that I am, I gave in – put off Mashobra till today and started to work scene painting - and there I remained until after dark. Then I thought to come and make my peace with you (for I had not heard anything in reply to my prayer about Miss Molly and the Geisha) and I thought I was not in good odour, which to me is more painful than walking barefooted on knife-blades - and especially I wanted to call because, between ourselves, my visit to Simla is not really for the purpose of shooting birds, sketching, picnicking, etc., but to try and get medicine for my disease (i.e. roam-sickness) from my doctor (the Adjutant General)…’ , then telling of how he had gone to Southwood, ‘and while arranging my collar and smoothing my locks on the doorstep I heard music within, which I did not like to disturb so I sat down and listened to it, and I sat on and on listening, until “Auld Lang Syne” was played, and then the “Dead March in Saul”! - played jauntily too…’, four lines on page 5 heavily deleted in ink with bleeding to recto affecting text but not legibility on two lines, the rambling post script finishing vertically upwards on inner margin of page 5 also, a little spotting, a total of 8pp. on two bifolia of ‘DVC, Meerut N.W.P.’ letterhead, 8vo (Qty: 1)NOTESFrom the Pamela Dugdale collection. Baden-Powell played the comic part of Wun-Hi in The Geisha in Meerut in 1897 with Mrs Ellen Turner's daughter, (also Ellen), playing the part of Molly Seamore. Thereafter many of Baden-Powell's letters to mother and daugher were signed 'Wunhi'.
