CLODD
(Edward, 1840-1930, Banker, Writer, Anthropologist and Rationalist)
Autograph Letter Signed to ‘My der Lucy’
starting “Do I remember the story of The Woman who had Genius? Can I ever forget it! I stuck it in the copy of your Last Touches given to you in - well, as you say, years do tell such tales! Tis one of the loveliest short takes that you ever wrote, it throbs with your nervous English. Your letter is deeply moving, what you say on human limitation and possibilities is all true. Of course, as Agnostics, we do not and cannot deny, neither but I don’t want to burn the first page of your letter because that is a valuable human document...”, 2 sides 8vo., Aldeburgh, 25th February

Autograph Letter Signed to Alfred William BENNETT ,
(1833-1902, Lecturer in Botany at Bedford College and St. Thomas' Hospital), telling him that "Anstie ... is very hearty and anxious to do anything that will tend to success ... we are not so well represented ... on the Annual Committee as could be wished", they both feel "the awkwardness of a circular signed (1) by not a single senator (2) by not a single practising doctor (3) by no numerous body of graduates (4) by no men who have either an official or representative character", afraid that it may "rouse the ... fury of the medicals and deprive us of a good many neutrals ... it suggests the tailors of Tooley St. ... I will do what I can in the way of a private whip, and I am not without hope that we may succeed", 3 sides 8vo., 50 Ladbroke Grove, W., 6th January
