COLLINGWOOD CUTHBERT: (1748-1810) British Admiral, captained HMS Royal Sovereign at the Battle of Trafalgar. Final page of an A.L.S., Cuthbert Collingwood, one page, 4to, n.p., n.d., to a gentleman. The final page comprises twelve lines of text, including a postscript, in part, `The Admiral assures me that my recommendations, within the limits of his power, shall be complied with. If Wise had served his time, he would have been made a Lieutenant…..The Spaniards always carry their Patron Saint to sea with them. I have given Isidro a birth in my cabbin (sic). The least I can do for him, after he had consigned his charge to me. It is a good picture as you will see when he comes to Morpeth`. Curiously, the verso features an address panel in the hand of, and signed by, Edward Jervis Jervis, 2nd Viscount St Vincent (1767-1859) Nephew of John Jervis, 1st Earl of St Vincent (1735-1823) British Admiral of the Fleet and Patron of Nelson. The 2nd Viscount has addressed Collingwood`s letter to Miss Brunton at Leatherhead, Surrey, adding the place and date, Stone, 30th March 1823, in his hand. This date is just over two weeks after the 1st Earl of St Vincent`s death and presumably Collingwood`s letter was sent to Miss Brunton as an addition to her autograph collection.

BETJEMAN JOHN: (1906-1984) British Poet Laureate 1972-84. T.L.S., John Betjeman, two pages, oblong 8vo, London, 1st June 1978, to Mr. Kerrane. Betjeman writes following a recent visit to Brompton Hospital, remarking `Little did I think I would ever go to a hospital for diseases of the chest. The liver, yes, but the chest, no. No matter. I was wrapped in a blanket, carried downstairs by two kindly and strong male adults out of my front door and watched this rather grim little street retreat from me and then found myself in your Tudor South Kensington mansion. I was feeling no pain nor fear but happy resignation into unknown hands of a kindly nature and then came a sensation that I was in a Norfolk rectory. This feeling was induced by the Tudor style windows, the stone dressings and the pleasant red brick outside. Through the window I could see another Tudor bay window with the blinds drawn and the light on. Here, I concluded, the Rector was writing his sermon. Every time I woke up, he was still writing it. It was a comforting thought. There was nothing impersonal or clinically official about this delightful, emergency ward which is, I understand, part of the original Tudor entrance to the Victorian Brompton Hospital. Then came the best moment of all-I had a volume of my favourite poet, Tennyson, with me and a Sister called Rosemary Brown read to me, at my request, The Lady of Shalott, most beautifully....After that I found myself on another floor on the other side of the road in a rather grim, empty ward whose walls were painted a cold, surgical blue but its gloom was dispelled by the most fanciful series of turretts (sic) and air vents with weather vanes on top of them so that I felt I was on the roof of a palace in Copenhagen or Bruges. A very pleasant sort of skyline to find in London where so much has become square and dull....` A letter of interesting content. VG
