* Lowther (Hugh Cecil, 1857-1944, 5th Earl of Lonsdale), English nobleman and sportsman. Two Typed Letters Signed, 'Lonsdale', 14 Carlton House Terrace, Pall Mall, London, 26 January 1914 & Lowther, Penrith, 21 September 1917, both to the editors of 'Tit Bits', the first in response to being asked his views on whether girls should learn to box, saying that his views would probably be of little interest to anyone but that 'I should do all that I could to discourage any feminine relations of mine from learning the "noble art", for I am one of those who think that a woman should have all the refinements of feeling and feminine charm; and a feeling that she is full of all sensitive feelings that a woman should have is to me the greatest charm in a woman's character. And I am always under the impression that the woman who appeals most to a man is one who may be full of courage and determination but who in everything she undertakes and in all her actions is essentially feminine. I do not think that Boxing is in the least feminine, and, therefore, it goes without saying that anything that is calculated to make a woman masculine must be to the detriment of a woman herself, and somehow there is, to my mind, something repulsive about seeing, or even thinking of, a woman boxing', with a few further comments and also adding that Foils is, on the other hand, a good sport for some women, a few pencil marks and corrections, a little spotting and soiling, 2 pages on 2 leaves, 4to, the second letter in response to whether ladies should play football, to which he replies, 'I have not the slightest hesitation in saying that I think that one game ladies ought not to play is certainly Foot-ball. It is not a game for women. There is nothing so splendid as a well set-up, active Englishwoman, and there are many games in which she can compete with man, and almost on equal terms, but Foot-ball is certainly not one of those which is conducive to either the interest of the woman or to civilisation. Foot-ball is essentially a masculine game... it would be an impossibility to recognise Foot-ball matches woman against men, which is an impossibility, as must be known to all Foot-ball players as well as it is known to myself', a little spotting and marginal browning, one page, 4toQty: (2)NOTESLord Lonsdale was an avid sportsman and a founding member of the National Sporting Club. He donated the original Lonsdale Belts for boxing and, as a keen football fan, was chairman of Arsenal Football Club for a brief period in 1936.

In accordance with the policy of playing my brother's game, I have agreed to another postponement, but, believe me, for the last time’; he concludes 'I know I need not stress the highly confidential nature of this letter, or the grave danger of the information it contains ever being traced back to me. But as I look upon you as one of our staunchest supportest (sic) I am anxious that you should know the truth’, with four holograph additions to the text, 2 pages on two leaves of the Duke's personal monogrammed stationery, typed ‘Private and Confidential’ at head, very light paperclip rust stain to the upper left corner of the first page, two file holes to left margin not affecting text or signature, 4to, together with An accompanying enclosure, being a typescript of the two misstatements contained in The Londoner's Log of the Sunday Express which the Duke refers to in his letter, light toning, two file holes to left margin matching the Duke’s letter where previously filed, one page, 4to, with the Duke’s responses, in full: '1. "He lives as a refugee in France not because of the laws of England prevent his return, but because he wishes to do so". While the Duchess and I have received the greatest courtesy in all the countries, especially France, where we have resided since our marriage, I have not lived out of England for over two years by preference. It is true that there exists no law to prevent my returning to my country whenever I wish to do so, but I have remained away out of deference to my brother in order to leave the field clear for him to establish himself on the throne, which it is admitted he has succeeded in doing. 2. "The Duke has set his own conditions of return. He requires that the Duchess of Windsor shall be accorded the title of Royal Highness, and that she shall be received by both the Queens. Until these requests are granted, the Duke has announced that he will not set foot in England". I have never made any such announcement nor would I ever set conditions upon my return to England. Regarding the two stipulations I am alledged (sic) to have made, I wish to say firstly, that while naturally the matter of witholding (sic) the title of Royal Highness from the Duchess is an insult which I as her husband and a member of the Royal Family have always resented far more deeply than she has, we have too many other more important interests to worry over such a triviality. Secondly, whatever may be the behaviour of Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth towards the Duchess, it would in no way affect any plans we might make for going to England.’Qty: (2)NOTESA letter of truly remarkable historical content written in the years following King Edward VIII's abdication and subsequent marriage to Wallis Simpson, and demonstrating that the Duke was under absolutely no illusions as to the attitudes of his mother, Queen Mary, and sister-in-law, Queen Elizabeth, towards the Duchess of Windsor. Max Aitken (1879-1964), 1st Baron Beaverbrook. Anglo-Canadian business tycoon, politician & writer, owner of the Daily Express and London Evening Standard newspapers.
