WINGATE
(Sir Francis Reginald, 1861-1953, Sirdar of the Egyptian Army, Governor-General of the Sudan 1899-1916 and from 1920 1st Baronet)
Typed Letter Signed ‘Reginald Wingate’ to R. Nicholson CMG, CBE,
Secretary of the Royal African Society who retired from the post in 1938, saying that “by some extraordinary lapse, I entirely missed the inclusion of your name in the New Year’s Honours List and it was only when I got the African World on Saturday that I saw your name was included in the List for a C.B.E. I cannot tell you what sincere gratification this gave me and I am sure all your friends will rejoice with me that your splendid services while Secretary of the Royal African Society have been recognised in this way. I hope you will live long to enjoy this honour and perhaps other which may follow... I do not know whether you saw a letter published in the ‘Times’... from my son, dealing with the Refugee and Palestine questions and strongly recommending the adoption of British Guiana as a home for them. As you have had a good deal of experience in that part of the world perhaps some day we can arrange a meeting between yourself, my son and myself to talk the matter over, that is to say, if you are free, but I suppose you do not come to London more often than you can help. I do hope your general health has improved...”, 2 sides 4to., Queen Anne’s Mansions, St James’s Park, 9th January
