SITWELL ON 'FACADE'
SITWELL
(Dame Edith, 1887-1964, Poet)
Fine Autograph letter signed in full to Miss Cooper
saying that she is "not sure to which of Dr Walton's works you are referring but I think it may be the orchestral suite 'Facade' the whole of which (it has many numbers) is adapted from a joint work of Dr Walton's and mine. This, also called 'Facade' consisted of poems of mine recited by a speaker, with a small orchestra, the music being, of course, Dr Walton's. The poems in question ... appear in my Collected Poems, not in the order in which they appear in Dr Walton's work ..." she then explains how they differ, she continues that she is "not very familiar with the Suite, as she has not heard it for a long time ...", when she has listed all the poems in the suite she goes on that she thinks "these all come to the suite. In my case, they did to the original work, from which the Suite was taken. We did a good many other ... a Scotch Rhapsody and a Tarentella which I have not reprinted ..." and she says the works can by got from the OUP, 2 sides 4to., Renishaw Hall, 5th January

SMILES
(Samuel, 1812-1904, social reformer, author of 'Self-Help' and 'Lives of the Engineers')
Autograph Letter Signed to Sir Theodore MARTIN
(1816-1909, Scottish Poet, Biographer and Translator) saying that he is "now writing out the life of James Nasmyth, Inventor of the Steam Hammer, as a sort of conclusion to my Lives of the Engineers. I am going to efface myself and write it out, from beginning to end, as an Autobiography. He has furnished me with all his notes which require a great deal of re-writing. I found in your admirable Life of the Prince Consort, a description of Nasmyths appearance at Worsley Hall ... He showed to Her Majesty and Prince Albert his Map and Drawings of the moon. I intend to quote this. But is there anything else in Her Majesty's Diary that might be given? I suspect not, as the Diary may still be private . But I thought I might mention the matter to you. I know you are in Italy at present, but I shall be glad to hear from you on your return ...", 2 sides 8vo., 8 Pembroke Gardens, Kensington, 27th February
