Gallard Esq. With the kind regards of Herbert Hoover". Together with a one page signed typescript letter, to the same recipient, dated 1957: "Dear J.A.L. That was a most gracious letter. And it brought back recollections of many times when the world was steadily getting better in its conduct - instead of worse! The Mansion House lunch was given to all the then Food Administrators of the Allies. I made a speech which was three times too long for anybody's digestion. I have learned better. Theodore passed away some years ago. Grenfell was a rascal, but the Lord forgave his sins on the British battlefields, so I could follow suit. I send you a magazine which is probably not on your stands. Hoping we will all meet again some time, and with kind regards." Plus a typescript letter from the Herbert Hoover Library, 1999: "These materials are of historical interest and would be welcome additions to our archival holdings. Gallard had been involved in mining during Mr. Hoover's time in London and later in food relief.", also with a part copy of Newsweek, 1957 and a press cutting. (1)

Typescript of a 1752 Court Case Regarding Lands in KerryCo. Kerry: Typescript (22 pp) of a case to be heard by the Irish House of Lords on 4 March 1752 between Francis Thomas, Earl of Kerry and Lixnaw, a minor, and John Petty, Viscount FitzMaurice.Thomas (FitzMaurice), 1st Earl of Kerry and Lixnaw, married in 1692 Anne Petty, daughter of the celebrated Sir William Petty, economist, scientist, philosopher and land surveyor. They had two sons: William, who succeeded his father in 1742, and John, who in 1751 inherited the estates of his maternal grandfather, changed his name to Petty, and was created Viscount FitzMaurice (he became Earl of Shelburne in 1753). William, 2nd Earl of Kerry, died in 1747 and was succeeded by his son Francis Thomas, then a young child. The law-suit is thus between a nephew and an uncle, John (the uncle) claiming money and lands under settlements made by his father the 1st Earl. In 1750 the court upheld his claim, but the nephew (through his guardian) appealed the case to the House of Lords. In this document, John demands that the original judgement be upheld.John's insistence was caused in part by the fact that under Earl Thomas's management the Kerry estate had greatly increased in value, with the construction of a mansion, deer park, gardens, fruit and forest plantations, and encouragements to tenants to improve their lands (see p. 13).An important legal document illustrating the complexities of Irish land ownership, the feuding's within a prominent family, and the development of a Kerry estate, in the first half of the 18th century, as a typescript.
