DOUGLAS ALFRED: (1870-1945) English Author & Poet, the intimate friend and lover of Oscar Wilde. A.L.S., Alfred Douglas, two pages, 4to, St. Ann's Court, Hove, 16th October 1941, to Mr. Brooks. Douglas informs his correspondent 'You may perhaps be interested to see the enclosed copy of a letter [no longer present] which I have just posted to the unspeakable Josiah Wedgwood. I also enclose the cutting from the Weekly Review to which I refer in my letter to the aforesaid JW.' Continuing 'Of course if you can print my letter to Josiah in Truth I shall be delighted.' Concluding with the post script 'I hope you won't take it amiss that I have sent back that cheque for a guinea. I don't feel that I can accept it, and I would much rather make Truth a present of my sonnet. When I was running the Academy, after it became my own property, more than half the stuff I printed was gratuitous, and I frankly explained that I could not afford to pay contributors adequately if at all.' Accompanied by the extract from the Weekly Review. With minor age related wear, a light rust imprint of former paperclip only slightly affecting one word of the text. VG Collin Brooks (1893-1959) British Journalist, Writer, and Broadcaster. Truth was a British periodical publication first published in 1877. A major controversy on Truth and its political agenda came during World War II, when false allegations were made implying that it was sympathetic to Nazi Germany. Josiah Wedgwood, a Labour MP, spoke in Parliament in October 1941 accusing Truth of being fascist and "a Quisling paper", and called for publication to be halted. The Academy was a review of literature and general topics published in London from 1869 to 1920 (in various guises). In 1920 James Conchie bought the title for Lord Alfred Douglas who incorporated it within his magazine Plain English.
