HILTON-39127-1.jpg "AS YOU SURMISE I AM NOT A WOMAN (CAMBRIDGE WOULD NOT HAVE ME IF I WERE)."
HILTON (James, 1900-1954, Author of 'Lost Horizons' & 'Goodbye Mr Chips')

Fine early Autograph Letter Signed to Mrs Wood, thanking her for her letter and "review in the B. Poet. As you surmise I am not a woman (Cambridge would not have me here if I were), as a matter of fact I am just a B.A. having a post graduate course. If you thought the Times Lit Supp. unfair to Storm Passage, you should have seen its review of C. Herself! The general import of it was that I should go back to my cradle and not trouble the august Times reviewers any more! I am glad however to find you agree with me that the Times reviewing is sometimes a little malicious. The best reviews I have had so far are your own and one in the Manchester Guardian (I conribute to the latter sometimes) ...", with a postscript that he thinks her "criticism ... very valuable especially about Alice Aune's baby. I knew all the time that I had not made the little creature live, but you are the first reviewer to remark on it ...", 2 sides 8vo., Christ's College, Cambridge headed paper 16th May

HOCKING (Joseph, 1855-1937, Congregationalist Minister and Novelist)

Autograph Letter Signed to David Rees, saying that his "pictures are of great promise", and commenting that "the 'up to date Tourist' is ... too wooden ... It is not safe either for an artist or a literary man to be dependent on that profession until he has absolutely conquered his faults. My advice is stick to your stockbroking for a few years. But meanwhile cultivate the gift which is undoubtedly yours ... I know of dozens of very good artists who are stumping London, and besieging editors in vain, poor fellows, who are nearly starving. They did what you evidently feel like doing. At present your work wd. not be taken by an editor but you are only 18; and there is no reason, as far as I can judge, why in a few years, you shd not see your work in the public press. If you will stay behind at some service I shall be glad to talk with you. P.S. Why not attend classes for drawing?", 4 sides 8vo., Trevanion, Hadley Common, New Barnet, Hertfordshire, 21st January worn at creases
