ROOSEVELT MARTHA: (1835-1884) American Socialite, mother of American President Theodore Roosevelt and the paternal grandmother of Eleanor Roosevelt. A true southern belle, she is considered to have been one of the inspirations for Margaret Mitchell's character Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With The Wind. A good, lengthy A.L.S., Mittie, six pages, 8vo, Henderson, Herkimer County, 28th September 1882, to [Captain James D. Bulloch] 'My darling Brother', on mourning stationery. Roosevelt commences her letter stating 'I think of you tenderly & most lovingly as seated in that little room at Irvine's writing & thinking & looking so far away in yr. dear brown eyes', adding that she shall 'eagerly look for your book & read it with mingled feelings of pride, interest, love, all deeply permeated with the patient, thoughtful, painstaking truthful writer who tho' the revival of most of the incident must be painful in one sense must still remember thy interest such incidents will lend his book'. Roosevelt continues her charming letter with family news of their recent activities and many references to relatives and mutual friends, in part, '…the four or five months Theodore, Elliott & Corinne spent in Dresden in 1873 is always fresh in their memory - & it gave them such a spur in their German. Nannie being near Linlie will be a great comfort & advantage to her. I long to hear of her departure & first impressions….Bamie & I spend October at Tranquillity - hoping that Alice & Teddie, Corinne & Douglas & Elliott will spend some Saturdays & Sundays with us - November will find us all in the City for the winter. I wish you all could see the glorious view from The Mansion & the Farm House….clear atmosphere with every distant point & range, tree farm in view & blue either overall, then all in melting haze & great soft masses of clouds. Purple & gold sunsets, golden sun sets - then the heavens flecked with soft pink clouds & the distant hills steeped in depths of saphire (sic) blue….We took Tea with old Mr & Mrs Ward yesterday in their most comfortable Farm House which had the usual bead baskets large Bible in the best parlour & our tea was exquisite in its daintiness & brightly cleaned real silver….the Pastor of the primitive little church at the village of Henderson is a most agreeable man, a scholar & very fine preacher - Their House most pretty, cake & home made wine they refreshed us with when we called…..Douglas has gone in his dog cart for our mail at Jordanville. He is also ordering potatoes, buckwheat & maple syrup for all of our tables in the winter….Elliott is seated by Corinne reading Sidney Smith's Memoirs & Letters to her….& they are both laughing at some of the bon mots. Mr. Robinson rises at four a.m. after his toilette, he makes a little fire in his room, boils his water & makes his tea & partakes of it with bread & butter, reads & then has prayers at 7 am for the farmer….He again has prayers for us at half past eight after which we breakfast. Our table is waited on by a young girl formerly Mrs. R's Sunday School schooler. Her little brother Willie follows in John Martin's wake in overhauls far too large for him…..Elliott has been unfortunate in the illness of his horse Jack who foundered the other evening after coming in from the ride….the poor old Horse has his two feet done up & in saw dust while the Vet (as D & E say) from Utica visits him….' Roosevelt concludes by sending her love to Hariott, Jessie, Linlie, Jimmie and Stuart. A letter of wonderful content and quite scarce as a result of Roosevelt's untimely death at the age of 48 from typhoid fever.

In the first letter Epstein invites Hardman to come and see the bust of Cripps, explaining that it is not finished however adding that Lady Cripps is also keen to see it, and explaining 'I am a little uncertain about showing it yet to Lady Cripps who of course will have a not unnatural anxiety about it & I want really a decision from you before I show it [to] her'. The sculptor also comments on being shown an unsuitable place in St. Paul's that had been allocated to the bust although adding that he now understands he can choose any place he wishes for the memorial. In his second letter Epstein thanks Hardman for a payment of £337 and announces 'Tomorrow I am showing the bust to Lady Cripps, not without some trepidation! I think I have interpreted Sir Stafford in the right spirit.' and in further letters discusses the inscriptions to appear on the bust, preparations for sending the work to the foundry ('I have been today to the foundry & the more I think of it the less I like the idea of glasses on the bust. After all God made Sir Stafford without spectacles'), also requesting the final payment from the committee, updating Hardman on the progress at the foundry, discussing his thoughts on the pedestal ('Dove silver grey will look very fine & show up the bronze.'), and also commenting on a meeting at the foundry ('The reception….was somewhat curious I thought. The ecclesiastic talked as if we were attempting a crime when I asked about the site of the bust & Mr. Attlee was like a frozen turnip. A somewhat chilling affair.'), stating that he hasn't the heart to battle with the Cathedral authorities and also asking for confirmation of the date of the unveiling and requesting 5 or 6 tickets to give to friends who would like to attend ('I recall that the Dean hinted that a crowd would not be welcome! What a silly idea….I don't mind in the least the vagaries of the ecclesiastical mind. Of course it is their cathedral.') and in the final letter Epstein thanks Hardman for 'photographs of [the] great event, when we were shoved out after half an hour' and asks if he saw Tom Driberg's account?
