WAUGH EVELYN: (1903-1966) English Writer and Novelist. A.N.S., with his initials E. W., on one side of his personal printed correspondence card, Stinchcombe, Dursley, Gloucestershire, n.d. (23rd June 1956), to J[ohn] Lehmann. Waugh informs his correspondent that he is moving house and ‘can’t write anything for months’, further adding ‘Anyway, I was born in London & left it, so I wouldn’t be a suitable man for your series’. Addressed in Waugh’s hand to the verso. Together with a second A.N.S., with his initials E. W., on one side of his personal printed correspondence card, Combe Florey House, near Taunton, n.d., to Neville Braybrooke. Waugh writes, in full, ‘Thank you for sending me the proof copy of your book which I look forward to reading’. Addressed in Waugh’s hand to the verso. Also including Auberon Waugh (1939-2001) English Journalist, eldest son of Evelyn Waugh. A.L.S., Auberon Waugh, one page, 4to, Chilton Foliat, Hungerford, Berkshire, 10th May 1970, to [Neville] Braybrooke, on Waugh’s attractive printed stationery. Waugh informs his correspondent that he has no objection to their studying ‘any marginalia in my father’s Tietjens editions’ although adding ‘I am rather surprised by what you tell me of their existence, since it was most certainly not his custom to write in books’. Waugh continues ‘I should check the handwriting – it might have been one of my sisters. When I last read them, I seem to remember a few underlinings, but certainly no annotations. I imagine he bought them second hand’. A few very light, minor creases, otherwise VG, 3 John Lehmann (1907-1987) English Poet and man of letters. Lehmann served as managing director of Leonard and Virginia Woolf’s Hogarth Press from 1938-46 after which he established his own publishing company, John Lehmann Limited, which operated from 1946-53.

WILSON EDMUND: (1895-1972) American Writer & Critic who explored Freudian and Marxist themes and influenced other American writers including F. Scott Fitzgerald. A.L.S., Edmund Wilson, one page, 4to, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, 11th September 1953, to [John] Lehmann. Wilson states that he appears to have only received one royalty payment for The Triple Thinkers, remarking 'I gather from our contract two are due' and asking 'Will you please let me know how our account stands?'. Wilson further adds that, if any money is due, he would prefer to collect it when he visits England for a week or two in the following January 'so that I can spend it there'. Together with a second A.L.S., Edmund Wilson, one page, 4to, Cape Cod, Massachusetts, 22nd September 1953, also to [John] Lehmann. Wilson states that he is sorry to hear that his correspondent has lost his firm, although continues 'I'm very glad to hear that you are starting a magazine. A good literary monthly is badly needed'. Wilson further remarks 'I can't do you an American letter though. I have never written this kind of article because I never know enough about what is being published - especially now that I live in the country & rarely read contemporary books. I can't do reviews either, but if I have anything I think you might use, I'll send it'. Some overall creasing and a few rust stains to each letter, the latter not affecting the text or signatures, G, 2 John Lehmann (1907-1987) English Poet and man of letters.

WATKINS VERNON: (1906-1967) Welsh Poet & Painter, a close friend of Dylan Thomas. A good T.L.S., Vernon Watkins, two pages, 8vo, Pennard Cliffs, near Swansea, 13th November 1953, to John Lehmann. Watkins thanks his correspondent for their letters and remarks 'I feel that if I wrote now about Dylan I would not do him justice. He was such a close friend that I simply cannot. If you want to know what I think of his work read the 'Times' obituary notice. I wrote it on Sunday. But it was the most painful thing I have had to write', further adding 'I stayed with Dylan many times in London and Laugharne. He sent me nearly all the poems up to and including 'Deaths and Entrances'. It is all too close. I saw him last a week or so before he went to America. He was my favourite living poet and just about my greatest friend'. Watkins also states that he has been asked by others to write a tribute and informs Lehmann that 'On Tuesday there was a short wireless tribute on the Welsh Home Service when Daniel Jones, the composer, his oldest and closest friend, spoke and played a piece of music. I read three of his poems and one of my own, - 'Portrait of a Friend', from my first book, which was written for him in 1938'. He concludes by suggesting that Edith Sitwell would give a very good appreciation, remarking 'What I have to say I feel I cannot say yet. This is, in fact, the most difficult time in which to say it'. Together with a second T.L.S., Vernon, two pages, 8vo, Pennard Cliffs, near Swansea, 8th August 1955, to John Lehmann. Watkins thanks his correspondent for their letter and adds 'I am glad that my Foreword to Dylan's book interested you', further remarking 'No, I didn't know you that you were paying Dylan a weekly sum for the novel, but I very much appreciate your having done this' and continuing 'I saw a lot of him when he was doing the film work, staying with him often, and certainly I had the impression that prose would come to him more easily at that time, as it nearly always did, than poetry. He found it extremely difficult to do any writing at all in London, and certainly most of his writing, and his best, was done in Wales. I do, though, agree with you that when he made that remark to Oscar Williams he was talking of a possibility, a rather remote one. I don't think he meant to finish the novel. I spent a day with him at Laugherne a fortnight after that letter was written, and he was entirely occupied with the revisions of 'Under Milk Wood'. I think I have implied that in my foreword, but I also think that the novel was something he worked on much earlier than I have suggested, perhaps when he was still seventeen. I wanted, though, to confine my remarks to my own contact with the work through his conversation and through his reading it aloud to me'. Also including an A.L.S., Vernon, three pages, 8vo, Pennard Cliffs, near Swansea, 12th December 1964, to Neville Braybrooke. Wakins thanks his correspondent for their letter and remarks 'I'm glad you enjoyed Dylan's letters, which are wonderful, I think'. Watkins further adds that he cannot answer a question regarding a Stevenson story, although comments 'I bought the adaptation when it came out in a magazine this year, but my impression of it wasn't really as enthusiastic as yours. He certainly read Stevenson early, and liked him a lot, but I don't feel, as you do, that the adaptation is anything like as good as his original late prose, which in the broadcast scripts is superb. I must confess though that I haven't read the original Stevenson story, only Treasure Island and a few other things. His romantic imagination appealed to Dylan, & his wonderful power of transmitting physical sensations'. Watkins continues his letter with news of his own activities since returning from America, including translations of Dante and a presentation regarding Dylan Thomas for the Royal Institution with Professor Price, also referring to mutual colleagues including Professor O'Neill, and his experiences in Seattle where there was 'a very enthusiastic poetry audience & they were very kind….'.

Robert Muller (1773- c.1800,British ) Portrait of the Rt Rev John Douglas, DD, Lord Bishop of Salisbury 1721-1807, inscribed on plaque 'Rt Rev John Douglas, DD, Lord Bishop of Sarum, 1791', oil on canvas, 127 x 101cmProvenanceBy Direct Family descentNotesDouglas, John (1721-1807), bishop of Salisbury and writer, was born on 14 July 1721 in Pittenweem, Fife, the second son of Archibald Douglas, a merchant, and his wife, who was the daughter of Melvill of Carsender in Fife. His paternal grandfather was a distinguished minister in the Scottish Episcopal church, who, in 1669, had succeeded the historian Gilbert Burnet in the living of Saltoun, Haddingtonshire. Douglas attended the grammar school at Dunbar, where he received a good classical education, and was then sent for a short time to two private schools in London. In 1736 he was entered as a commoner at St Mary Hall, Oxford, and two years later he was elected to a Warner exhibition at Balliol College, where Adam Smith, a distant relative, was his contemporary. He graduated BA (1740) and MA (1743). He was sent abroad by his father, from 1740 to 1742, to learn French, and on taking deacon's orders in 1743 he embarked on a highly successful career as a clergyman. In July 1744 he became chaplain to the 3rd foot (Scots) guards, serving as an aide-de-camp at the battle of Fontenoy (29 April 1745). He resigned his commission on the army's return home the next year to fight the Jacobites, and was elected Snell exhibitioner at Balliol (1745-7).Ordained priest in 1747, Douglas became curate of Tilehurst, near Reading, and also of Duns Tew, Oxfordshire. At about this time friends of his mother introduced him to William Pulteney, first earl of Bath, whose wealth and political and literary connections made him a highly desirable patron. An early assignment was to take Bath's 'difficult' heir, Lord Pulteney, on a grand tour of Holland, Germany, and France between July 1748 and October 1749. In Paris Douglas met Montesquieu but his journal of his tour devoted more pages to the Jansenist controversy and to the exposure of the miracles at deacon Pâris's tomb, which later figured in his pamphlet on supernatural phenomena, The Criterion. On his return to England he was presented by Lord Bath to the free chapel of Eaton Constantine and to the donative of Uppington in Shropshire, exchanging the latter, in 1750, for the vicarage of High Ercall, also in Shropshire. He seldom visited his livings but spent the winter in London, in a house next to that of his patron, whom he accompanied in the summer to Bath, Tunbridge Wells, and to nobles' houses, acting as Bath's chaplain and secretary. Douglas's first marriage, to Dorothy Pershore (d. 1752), sister of Richard Pershore of Reynolds Hall, Staffordshire, in September 1752, ended with her death in December of the same year. In April 1765 he married Elizabeth Rooke, daughter of Henry Brudenell Rooke. They had two children: William, who became chancellor of the diocese of Salisbury, and Elizabeth.Douglas began to earn a reputation as a critic and controversialist, first by exposing the forgeries of William Lauder, who had accused Milton of plagiarism. His pamphlet on this subject, Milton No Plagiary, went into two editions (1750-51 and 1754), and caused Samuel Johnson, who had written a preface to Lauder's book, to dictate to Lauder a letter to Douglas, confessing to the imposture. Douglas then sought to elude David Hume's arguments against miracles in The Criterion (1752, 1754, and 1757), which made much of differences between alleged modern contraventions of the laws of nature and those presented in the Christian gospels. Later Douglas dined in a friendly spirit with Hume, who in 1773 considered him a 'better hand' than either Sir John Dalrymple or James Macpherson (Ossian) for continuing his History of England beyond 1689 (Letters, 2.269). After trouncing the Hutchesonian sect in an Apology for the Clergy (1755), Douglas then turned on the Scottish Jesuit mole Archibald Bower in several pamphlets published between 1756 and 1758, pillorying him for dishonesty and plagiarism.Oxford University granted Douglas a DD in 1758, and Lord Bath presented him to the perpetual curacy of Kenley, Shropshire, also securing him a canonry at Windsor in 1762. The previous year Douglas had exchanged his Shropshire livings for the rectory of St Augustine with St Faith, Watling Street, London. He worked for Bath and his heir in Shropshire politics and wrote several political pamphlets, mainly under his patron's direction. He assisted Samuel Johnson in 1762 in the detection of the Cock Lane ghost. In the following year he edited the Diary and Letters of the second earl of Clarendon and accompanied his patron to Spa, where he made the acquaintance of the duke of Brunswick. Bath died on 1 July 1764, leaving his library to Douglas, who sold it for £1000 to Bath's brother and heir, General Henry Pulteney; on inheriting it a second time, on the latter's death, Douglas sold it again, on the same terms, to Sir William Pulteney so that it would remain at Bath House. He is believed to have been prevented from writing a biography of Lord Bath by General Pulteney's destruction of his brother's papers.Douglas wrote more political articles, in 1766, 1767, and 1768, which were published by the Public Advertiser; he also contributed all the letters signed by Tacitus and by Manlius which appeared in that periodical in 1770 and 1771. In 1775-6, at the request of Lord Sandwich, he helped Captain James Cook to edit his journals (Voyage towards the South Pole, 1777); he also edited and wrote an influential introduction to Cook's last journals (Voyage to the Pacific Ocean, 1784). The second earl of Hardwicke enlisted him to edit hisMiscellaneous Papers, for publication in 1778, and the same year he was elected FRS and FSA. In March 1787 he was appointed a trustee of the British Museum, which had opened on 15 January 1759.Throughout these years Douglas advanced steadily in his clerical career. In 1776 he exchanged his Windsor canonry for one at St Paul's; on 18 October 1787 he became bishop of Carlisle, on 21 March 1788 dean of Windsor, and on 28 July 1791 bishop of Salisbury. James Boswell obtained anecdotes and information from Douglas for his Life of Johnson and proposed him for membership of the Johnson Club on 14 December 1790; he was elected on 22 December 1792. Acknowledging his 'advanced years and infirmities' Douglas made a will, on 21 April 1806, which reflected his wealth, his fairness but not excessive charity to dependants, and his complete trust in his son William as executor. He died of a gradual decay on 18 May 1807, his wife having predeceased him. He was buried a week later, on 25 May, in St George's Chapel, Windsor.Average for his time in the performance of clerical duties, Douglas was regarded as a likeable, sociable, and respectable figure in the Church of England. As a man of letters he was notably industrious, and his family rarely saw him without a pen or a book in his hand when company was absent. He was well read in history and literature as well as in the church fathers and English divines, and made a telling case in controversies within his knowledge. Of his writings his introduction to Cook's last explorations had perhaps the greatest impact, drawing wide European and American attention to the resources of the Pacific north-west.

*Dickens (Charles, 1812-1870). Autograph letter signed, 'Charles Dickens', Gad's Hill Place, Higham by Rochester, Kent, Saturday, 7 January 1865, to Mrs Collinson, in full, 'I hope you will excuse my having detained your MS a little longer than I might have done at another time of the year, and when less occupied with a book of my own [Our Mutual Friend was published as a monthly serial between May 1864 and November 1865]. It has received - as I hope I need not assure you - my most careful attention and consideration. The result is that I feel thoroughly convinced it would not bear division into portions for periodical publication. It is not strong enough or various enough to stand that severe test and carry the reader on. As a domestic story, with a plain good purpose, not much change of scene, and no great force of incident, it must be read complete. I think in that entire form it would achieve a fair success, and I recognize in the heroine many of those delicate womanly touches of character in which you excel. But I have not the slightest doubt that it would fall flat and fail, if it were published in serial chapters. It shall be packed in a convenient parcel at the office, and sent to you on Monday. I am more disappointed in not being able to accept it than I trust you may be for the receipt of this note', written in blue ink on rectos of a black-edged letterhead bifolium, central vertical brown streak to all pages not affecting legibility, 2 pp., 8vo, together with an earlier autograph letter from Dickens on Gad's Hill Place letterhead, 6 October 1862, presumed to the same recipient, beginning 'I have read your pretty story with very great pleasure, and shall be happy to retain it for the Christmas No. of All The Year Round, if you will give me your free permission to condense it a little, and to alter some of the dialogue. You may be quite sure that I will touch it with a delicate and sympathetic hand...', one and a third pages, written in blue ink to rectos with the lower two-thirds of the second leaf containing sentiment, signature and recipient's name cut away and now missing, 8vo Mrs Julia Cecilia Collinson Stretton (1812-1878) is known to have published two stories in the Christmas Number of All The Year Round, published in December 1862, namely 'His Portmanteau' and 'Hat-Box'. It is to one of these two stories that the second letter is presumed to refer. Mrs Collinson published a number of triple-decker novels with Hurst and Blackett between 1855 and 1869. It seems likely that the book Dickens rejected in the 1865 letter here was 'The Pemberton Family' published by Hurst and Blackett during 1865. (2)

Patrick Collins HRHA (1911-1994)Heavy Water on the BogOil on canvas, 40.5 x 49 (16 x 19¼”) Shaped, signed and dated (19)84; inscribed with title and dated (19)86 (Sic) versoProvenance: The Eamonn Mallie CollectionThis colourful work by Patrick Collins reflects the colour in my relationship with the original owner of the work my late friend and collector Vincent Ferguson from Sligo. We were both crazy romantics who indulged our passions with periodical exchanges of paintings. 'Heavy Water on the Bog' tells its own story, and Vincent's love affair with Collins' paintings. This work stirs many memories of a wonderful day in the late Vincent's ever welcoming home at Rosses Point where he and his wife Noleen were the perfect hosts. When Paddy passed away Vincent decided to mark the occasion with the scattering of the artist's ashes on the waters of the Garavogue River in Sligo where Collins was born. Ciara Ferguson - Vincent's daughter who witnessed the scattering of Patrick Collins' ashes on the water crystallised the extraordinariness of the moment: of Patricia and Penelope Collins she said… Patricia was in a velvet cape and she and Penelope were like Patrick's handmaidens tossing the ashes where he played as a boy. Ciara continued “… the image that stands out in my mind is the moment that the ashes are being scattered on the water to the strains of a lone piper, then in the background I heard the flapping of the wings of a single swan taking off from the water. It was just perfect. Vincent Ferguson held the view that Collins saw his Sligo roots as a child as the source of his magic in his art and he feared that in returning to that spot where he played as a child the mystery of the place might be diffused. That spot was Collins' Shangri La. According to Vincent, Patrick Collins only returned to that river bank a few years before he died. I joined the ashes scattering gathering back at the Ferguson home for drinks and eats. My lasting memory of that afternoon was the sight of Basil Blackshaw, TP Flanagan, Sean McSweeney and Barrie Cooke all gravitating towards their own works on the Ferguson walls, ignoring their fellow artists' images. Blackshaw, Flanagan, Cooke, writers Anthony Cronin, Dermot Healey and Vincent who were all present that day in Rosses Point are now all ar shlí na fírinne - ar dheis Dé go raibh an-anamacha. Tá an t-ádh orainn go maireann 'Heavy Water on the Bog'. Eamonn Mallie
