(John Frederick, 1907-1987, English Poet and Man of Letters)
Autograph Letter Signed to Mr Hamilton
saying that he has “only just got back fro abroad (last night), so I hope you will excuse me for not answering your letter before. I did have a word... with Dr Klopstock before I left, and he promised to ring me to arrange a meeting this month. Meanwhile, of course, no agreement about the last seven years of ‘The London Magazine’ is valid without my signature. As for the Cheltenham Festival, I am honoured that you should invite me. Dates are, however, important. I have to go abroad for a short trip - Venice/Vienna - between September 15th and October 11th, so an exact commitment is essential. If you can now say definitely that it will be October 4th I think I can come...”, 2 sides 4to., 85 Cornwall Gardens headed paper, 12th July

Small collection of Three Autograph Letters Signed to Mr Hancox
the first says that he has received "a catalogue from your firm ... I notice that you are preparing one on the Thirties, and I wondered whether you would be interested in my little paper-covered book of poems, published in 1944 'The Sphere of Glass'. I have one or two copies, as the survivors were returned to me when the Hogarth Press was taken over by Chatto in 1946/7, & have been buried in my glory-hole ever since ..." offering to sign some copies if he wanted to buy them, the second agrees the price at £4 and suggests that he buys one and can come back for more if they sell though "Even more was suggested to me by someone who should be an expert!", and the final one just sends his thanks, 4 sides 4to., 85 Cornwall Gardens headed paper, 20th May to 27th July
