FRERE
Walter Howard, 1863-1938, Co-founder of the Anglican Religious Order the Community of the Resurrection and Bishop of Truro)
Fine pair of Autograph Letters Signed to Mr Wood,
the first starting "when I saw your letter I said to myself Can it be Wood? & it was. Greeting. A capital idea to put dear old Figgis in Hall or Combination Rms. We have (I think) nothing but a fairly good (but tame) photographers Carte de Visite. No doubt we would gladly lend it. But I dare say you have that already. What I should like to see is a good crayon drawing - Rothenstein or such. But perhaps that is hardly possible posthumously. I mean to get anything characteristic. Snapshots get more realism to help but I am not sure that any are to be found here. I will search ...", and the second is "an interim note to express my & our thanks for the letter & portrait of JNF. Our photograph so far as I remember is much more of his maturity and more characteristic. But I must wait till I get back to see it & perhaps a snapshot might turn up ...", total 3 sides 8vo., House of the `resurrection headed paper, 8th July and 19th August

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
