Autograph Letter Signed to Mrs Joy P. Farley, of Bath,
saying "Your little nag about A.G.'s death exactly equalled mine when I first read the primary evidence ... but I don't feel justified in divulging my conclusions before they reach MS stage - and have been vetted by the executors ... But you may perhaps draw your own conclusions. 'First Whispers' owed a good deal to its author's vigorous imagination", adding, "I spent what was, I think, without exception the happiest month of my life" at Bath, 2 sides 8vo. and envelope, 19th April

Typed Letter Signed with autograph corrections to Mr Harding Edgar
telling him that he hasn’t got “the revised typescript with the properly collated Boisgobey’s and Gaboriau’s, so I’m not sure how many first Vizetelly editions we have, but this is the list of titles and if you have any titles apart from these I would like to have them whatever the edition...” there follows a list of titles by the two authors with an autograph addition at the end of the list and he then says he is “sorry I’ve missed out a Gaboriau Catastrophe 1890. As you see we seem to be pretty strong in Boisgobey’s!....”, 2 sides 8vo., with original envelope, C6 Albany, London, 27th November
