Autograph Letter Signed to Dewar
saying that he can’t tell him “how touched and delighted we both are by your kindness. What a beautiful book! What a beautiful edition! what a beautiful inscription! Again I can only say we are more pleased than I can tell - and with the inscription not least of all. Thank you most heartily. Surely the volume is a rare one? The Farmer’s Boy I know and possess. But I am ashamed to say that of this book I never heard. And how delightful it is! It reached us on Thursday night - but I delayed writing till we had both read it through. And we are both most charmed with it. It is a book everyway after our own hearts. I hope both you and Mrs Dewar have kept well during this tryig winter - which with its plague of Influenza has laid so many of us low - myself amongst the number. But thanks to the lavish care bestowed on me I’m now quite recovered. Again with our united thanks and kindest remembrances...”, 2 sides 8vo., 20 Fitzroy Street, 24th February

JOHN
(Augustus, 1878-1961, Painter)
Fine Autograph Letter signed to "Dear Jim"
saying that "it's a long time since you wrote and sent me that fine drawing. What must you think of me? I have it is true been laid up in hospital ... for a long spell after an operation. They removed a Stone from my inside which, after years was becoming a great nuisance and upsetting me a lot. The Op. was a great success, and I am now convalescing and Dode & I are just about to move to the South of Spain to Malaga where I am told sun is guaranteed. It has been a frightful year here. Please don't think I didn't appreciate your kindness in sending me the splendid cat. It is drawn with the spirit of a calligraphic Chinese Masterpiece! I hear often from Poppet, and Pol also has written. His work from what I have seen, shows real sensibility and appears to improve all the time. He is to have a show in London in the Spring. I too, hope to get busy in the south after so long a break. It may take some time to find a suitable place but we are first at a village on the sea ... Well, my dear Jim, we leave tomorrow for London ... Thank you again for your letter and the Cat! ...", 2 sides 8vo., Fryern Court, Hants headed paper, 12th December
