FROUDE
(James Anthony, 1818-1894, Historian)
Long Autograph Letter Signed to Martin
saying he has unwillingly “left your note too long unanswered. I liked the verses well - if not very well. I wanted a second opinion so I sent them to Allingham - who as you know is now helping me with the Magazine. I have had no answer from him, so you must kindly make my apologies to the lady. In all likelihood the MS is gone to the Press. I shall know in a day or two. I publish so little Poetry... when I make an exception it is exceptionally criticised. I hope you have better weather than we have, after two more protactedly lovely summers... the storms have settled down upon us & wind & rain & waves are trying their worse to wash away the Peninsula on which we are living. If we survive we shall be in London in 3 weeks... It is our last season here...” he continues about his landlord taking the property back for himself and his bride, explaining the problems with the property and saying that “after a season I expect he will invite us to return. A thousand thanks for the Horace, which however I fear is waiting for me in Onslow Gardens...”, signed on the first page, 4 sides 8vo., Kinnare, 20th October no year

FRY
(Charles Burgess, 1872-1956, Represented Britain at Soccer, Cricket and Athletics, World Record Long Jump Holder)
Autograph Letter Signed ‘C.B. Fry to Mr Lang
agreeing to “do what you ask. If you will put me in communication with the Editor he will no doubt let me know exactly what he wants and who will read it. It wld be a good thing if he cld let me know how much he requires & if necessary send me a specimen payt to guide me. Athletic notes have to be up to date & consequently are best if sent in as late as possible. I don’t want any pay unless the other contributors take it.. Poor old Teddy - Yes - no. 15 were in the cart rather. My failure was due to folly. Teddy deserved better. He really knew something for he did work & seemed to know his texts. I expect to come up for my degree next term & hope to come to see you...”, 4 sides 8vo., 22 Sydney Street, Cambridge, 7th October no year
