FAULKNER WILLIAM: (1897-1962) American Writer, Nobel Prize winner for Literature, 1949. Autograph Telegram Signed, BILL, in capital letters, one page, oblong 8vo, Paris, n.d. (c.1955?), to Howard Hawks in Cairo, Egypt. The partially printed telegram is neatly completed in ink by Faulkner, entirely in capital letters, and states, in full, 'Booked N.Y. 19 April unless I hear from you. Of course will stay here on call or meet you at need if notified tel no.' The writer has also penned his name ('WILLIAM FAULKNER') in ink at the base, along with his address at the Hotel de Beaujolais in Paris. A rare autograph with an interesting association. A couple of very small, extremely minor tears to the edges, not affecting the text or signature, otherwise VG Howard Hawks (1896-1977) American Film Director, Academy Award winner. Hawks employed Faulkner as a screenwriter in Hollywood, and the two men became friends, sharing a passion for drinking and hunting. Indeed, Hawks' brother, the American film producer William Hawks (1901-1969), became Faulkner's Hollywood agent and the writer himself conducted an affair with Meta Carpenter, Hawks' secretary and script girl. In 1955 Hawks produced and directed the epic film Land of the Pharaohs starring Jack Hawkins and Joan Collins. Much of the film was shot on location in Egypt, and the present telegram most likely dates from the time of filming. The movie was Hawks' final collaboration with Faulkner before the author's death.

Powell Cotton'. Rare. VG Catherine Parr died, aged around 35 or 36, on 5 September 1548, at Sudeley Castle in Gloucestershire, from childbed fever, having given birth to her only child, the daughter of her fourth husband, Thomas Seymour, six days earlier. In May 1782, John Locust discovered the coffin of Queen Catherine in the ruins of the Sudeley Castle chapel. He opened the coffin and observed that the body, after 234 years, was in a surprisingly good condition. Reportedly the flesh on one of her arms was still white and moist. After taking a few locks of her hair, he closed the coffin and returned it to the grave. The coffin was opened a few more times in the next ten years, including a disinterment by Colonel Richard Powell Cotton in 1783, when the present hair was apparently removed. Parr's coffin was finally officially reopened in 1817, when nothing but a skeleton remained. Her remains were then moved to the tomb of Lord Chandos whose family owned the castle at that time.
