Autograph Letter Signed to Charles REILLY
(1874-1948, Head of the Liverpool School of Architecture) thanking him for "sending me the Cripps Petition. Certainly I will sign it and I shall ask Gavin what he thinks about it. But not easy for usto get more signatures - however I'll see about it. I have not been back to Brightonsince I saw you ... I think I can finishe that drawing of the front without goig back ... ... Lutyens looked fine at the RA banquet and I liked very much his air of courtesy and hospitality without pompousness. From where I was, unfortunately, he was not very audible so ... I only mastered his speech next morning (but don't tell him this!). I think a school of traditional architecture is much needed in London when I see the full horror of that horrible new side of Berkeley Square. There are lots of good things to pick out in the RA - the total effect is a jumble but I don't see how you can avoid that, especially in these days. Stephen I'm glad to say sold his big picture on Private View day. I haven't forgotten the kind promise of yourself and your friend to buy drawings for my 'Casals Fund' ..." with a postscript that he has "a very elaborate drawing of John Brown's Shipyard Clydebank with the 'Queen Elizabeth' building at the R.A.", 2 sides 4to., with original autograph envelope, Grayflete, Ferry Hinksey, Oxford, 1st May

Fine Autograph Letter Signed to Charles REILLY
(1874-1948, Head of the Liverpool School of Architecture) saying that he has "been working in the West of Scotland and have now transferred to the East. Weather very cold & east windy & the artist not so young as he was. But it is very quiet here at present which is a great blessing. Of course I'd be very glad to oblige you or your friend in any way i could. But my position is that every sketch I do and its copyright belongs to the Admiralty and I have no power at all to give any 'permissions'! I feel sure some sketch of mine would be available for the 'calendar' purpose ... for a small fee. The Admiralty and Ministry of Information work together in the matter ... I send all my drawings direct to Gleadowe (Admiralty, Whitehall) & that is the end of the matter as far as I am concerned. I sent Gleadowe lately a number of drawings - feel sure you would find a suitable one amongst them. Ask him or Francis about it. Your house is certainly delightful and I much want to see it. My prayers for it escaping the bombs ...", next to his signature he has put "(Major Sir Muirhead Bone R.M.)", 2 sides 8vo., with original autograph envelope, Admiral Superintendent's House, Rosyth, Dunfermline, 14th October

Autograph Letter Signed to H. C. Laurence
thanking him for his “nice kind letter about Old Spain. But it is the Book in a Million! You must buy it! What about buying it from me in two or three instalments? That could be managed all right. I would like so much for you to have it that I’ll tell you what I’ll do - I’ll give you a Spanish sketch into the bargain! What do you think? Delighted to hear that Nigel Warren has one... It really is a fine thing...”, 1 side 4to., with original autograph envelope, Grayflete, Ferry Hinksey, Oxford headed paper, 3rd December
