BONE (Sir Muirhead, 1876-1953, Water-colour Painter & Etcher, War Artist)

Fine Autograph Letter Signed to Charles REILLY (1874-1948, Head of the Liverpool School of Architecture) saying that he has "been working in the West of Scotland and have now transferred to the East. Weather very cold & east windy & the artist not so young as he was. But it is very quiet here at present which is a great blessing. Of course I'd be very glad to oblige you or your friend in any way i could. But my position is that every sketch I do and its copyright belongs to the Admiralty and I have no power at all to give any 'permissions'! I feel sure some sketch of mine would be available for the 'calendar' purpose ... for a small fee. The Admiralty and Ministry of Information work together in the matter ... I send all my drawings direct to Gleadowe (Admiralty, Whitehall) & that is the end of the matter as far as I am concerned. I sent Gleadowe lately a number of drawings - feel sure you would find a suitable one amongst them. Ask him or Francis about it. Your house is certainly delightful and I much want to see it. My prayers for it escaping the bombs ...", next to his signature he has put "(Major Sir Muirhead Bone R.M.)", 2 sides 8vo., with original autograph envelope, Admiral Superintendent's House, Rosyth, Dunfermline, 14th October

Autograph Letter Signed to H. C. Laurence thanking him for his “nice kind letter about Old Spain. But it is the Book in a Million! You must buy it!

Allow me therefore to devote to her the sitting which you had the kindness to reserve for me today. I promise to make up the lost time and will have the honour, if you are agreeable, to expect you tomorrow, Saturday, at the usual time of 2 o'clock.
I pray you be assured, Sir, with my regrets and all my apologies, of my highest regards.
