SHAW GEORGE BERNARD: (1856-1950) Irish Playwright, Nobel Prize Winner for Literature, 1925. Interesting A.L.S, G. Bernard Shaw, one page, 4to, Whitehall Court, London, 18th January 1939, to W. A. Bedford, written in shorthand. Shaw announces `All my works are written in Pitman as far as first drafts are concerned` and continues `But you will look in vain in my shorthand for grammalogues and logorams, and contractions and word groups which make verbatim reporting possible. I have long since discarded most of them as unnecessary for my work, and very baffling to the typist who has to transcribe it. Of course I retain the ticks and dots that stand arbitrarily for the articles, prepositions, and conjuctions, with some of the words that occur most frequently; but for the rest, when there is no speaker to pace me, and my speed can be no greater than at which I can compose, I find it far easier, and consequently shorter, to spell the word fully than to recollect or invent a contraction for it.` Shaw further writes `You must also allow for the fact that I learned shorthand sixty years ago. During that time it has been necessary to make changes to prevent the textbooks from falling out of copyright into the public domain. I have not followed these changes. I place the short vowels in the old way, and have some other obsolete tricks that baffle the up-to-date typist.` and in concluding adds `I have done a good deal of my writing in the train, and I have found Pitman, because the characters are not written, but drawn, resists the joggling of the carriage much better than longhand, which is often hopelessly illegible under such circumstances.` A letter of good content, accompanied by a complete transcript.

* Doyle (Sir Arthur Conan, 1859-1930). Autograph letter signed `A. Conan Doyle’, Windlesham, Crowborough, Sussex, 22nd February, no year, to [Geoffrey] Hodson, `I expect Sunday is a Òdies nonÓ with you but we have our big Sunday gathering at 12.00 at the Queen’s Hall. I am the speaker this time and shall survey this movement in a way which might interest you. If you do come make for door 15 and the assembling [?] so that I can ensure you good seats. There is always a great crowd. If you can’t come what about sending a good man to report not what we say so much as the evidence of a big popular movement’, printed letterhead, a little soiling and creasing, one page, 8vo. The letter probably refers to one of Conan Doyle’s talks on spiritualism, possibly on 31st March 1920. Geoffrey Hodson (1886-1963) was an occultist, Theosophist and medium. In 1921 Conan Doyle arranged for Hodson to come to Cottingley to examine the now infamous Cottingley fairy photographs and to sit with the girls in the hope that even stronger fairy shapes would materialise. In August Mr Hodson reported seeing wood elves under some beech trees as well as dancing fairies in the field.. (1)
