*Balkans Archive. An important collection of letters and papers of Joseph Swire, c. 1920s to 1940s, including personal correspondence, articles, reports, and press cuttings, most of it relating to Zog's Albania, and Bulgaria during the Veltcheff Affair in the 1930s, highlights include some twenty letters to Swire from Edith Durham, celebrated traveller and writer, written between January 1928 and October 1931, and an enduring correspondence between Wilhelm zu Wied [King of Albania for six months during 1914], and later his children, Karl zu Wied and Mary Eleonore, the whole carefully collated and sorted into some thirty folders and split between Albania and Bulgaria. The Albanian material includes two exercise books with Swire's notes on Albania (1950s), letters to Swire from Harry Lamb, Jade Salis, Luigi Villari, R. W. Seton-Watson, correspondence between Swire, Miss Toovey and Edward Boyle of the Balkan Committee dated between 1928 and 1939, confidential documents from the Balkan Committee, material relating to Swire's departure from Albania and his expulsion from Bulgaria; numerous press cuttings, articles, etc. Swire worked as a journalist in Bulgaria between 1932 and 1935 and because of his backing of Veltcheff, the architect of the 1934 coup d'etat, Swire was expelled from the country. His book ‘Bulgarian Conspiracy' (1939) is one of the best detailed accounts in English of the activities of the Macedonian Revolutionaries in the period from 1918 to the mid 1930s. The Bulgarian material includes letters and cuttings principally regarding Swire's petition to halt the execution of Veltcheff, with letters from Geoffrey Mander, Noel Buxton, Harold Nicholson, Lord Cecil, Ben Riley, Edward Boyle, et al; notes from the Balkan Committee, papers relating to Swire's expulsion, letters from Veltcheff and others. A full collation of this archive is available from the auctioneers. (a carton)
