MALLOCK
(William Hurrell, 1849-1923, Novelist and Economics Writer)
Autograph Letter Signed to Mrs Jeune
saying how glad he is that she “can come to lunch on Wednesday... I am here till Tuesday. I shall probably come to London on Tuesday night. I have sent cards today to the Ramsdens... Higgins... & Lady Marian Alford... I sent cards to these myself, because I wanted in each case to add a line or two, but I have not sent cards to Freda... & Lyttons... because I thought that if there were no reason to the contrary, it would be better that the cards should come from you, than that they should be sent with my compliments. If I think of any more people to ask I will let you know tomorrow...”, 2 sides 8vo., Fetteresso, Torquay, 28th February

Typed Letter Signed to the Rev. Edwin Matthews
regretting that her reply to his question on the "lesson of life ... must be a little bitter ... (I am not really bitter, having a sense of humour and a great delight in life). For undoubtedly the lesson which has most impressed me is the sorrowful mistake of marrying young ... One neither thinks nor feels the same in the twenties as in the teens ...", 1 side 4to., heading with inkpot device, 57 Arthur Road, Wimbledon Park, S.W.19 but from No. 3 Flat, 4 Lyall Street, S.W.1., no date, c.

MANNIN
(Ethel, 1900-1984, Travel Writer and Novelist)
Typed Letter Signed to the Frederick Staerck,
thanking him for his letter and saying she is “glad you like ENGLAND MY ADVENTURE - a number of people seem to have done so, and to have liked it more than the previous two England books, ENGLAND FOR A CHANGE (1968) and ENGLAND AT LARGE (1970). I think perhaps the relating of places to people, as in the third book, does make it more interesting. My publishers would like me to do yet another book of this kind, this time going north of the Border, but though I like the Border country I don’t think I will, as being now old, I find all the travelling involved very tiring. And three is anyhow a nice round number, and completes a trilogy! As does the novel I had out on the day you wrote, MISSION TO BEIRUT, the third of the novels with Middle East background which began with THE MIDNIGHT STREET... based on the life and death of Gen. Qassim of Iraq and to which FREE PASS TO NOWHERE (1970) was a kind of sequel. I will write no more novels, now, with a Middle East setting... there was a novel with a mainly North West Frontier of India (now Pakistan) setting, THE CURIOUS ADVENTURE OF MAJOR FOSDICK. For the setting of the 1974 novel I am at present working on I’ve gone to an island off the West coast of Scotland...” ending with a note about the origin of her and her correspondent’s surnames, 1 side 4to., Oak Cottage, 27 Burghley Road headed paper, 3rd March
