STRUTT
(Joseph jnr, 1775-1833, Son of the Engraver and Antiquary, Librarian to the Duke of Northumberland)
Autograph Letter Signed to Mrs Ogborne
returning "your copy corrected, and a transcript throughout, of the Latin memorial and here follows, in English the concluding sentence, or, rather part of a sentence, beginning after the last period,and with the word Post that you may perceive the defect at the end: But after these and many such like duties (or works of benevolence) or services, rendered both to God and his/her country, and to me, his wife/her husband,and the his/her children .... As to your publication' as a well wisher to literature, I hope it may reward your pains, by meeting with many friends. On looking again at your letter since writing the above, I perceive the personage in question is a lady but the transition is easy, as amended above. But to proceed in answer to your enquiry, whether she was a native of Rumford? The Latin does not say so much, of herself it does not speak at all ... There is no word in the original for her or his the omission is no defect, but a grammatical licence ... With respect to my account, I have kept none, not could I, had such been my intention, have minuted down every moment that has been devoted to the task, the time so employed having been stolen from my (then) vexatious and unprofitable (to me) burthen of my Leicestershire Index, in addition to a world of other occupations suffice it that if the Work meet with success on its trial, and you reimburse your own expended labours, that then you may think of a trifle for my pains ...", he continues about other accounting matters, 2 sides 4to., with integral autograph leaf and seal, Phoenix Row, Isleworth, 23rd August

TENNIEL
(Sir John, 1820-1914, Caricaturist & Illustrator of ‘Alice in Wonderland’)
Exceptional Autograph Letter signed in full to Mrs Grahame
sending “a thousand apologies for the delay...” sending best wishes for “this ‘New Year’ and the years to come. It was, indeed! - a great happiness to me to receive a little ‘Christmas Greeting’ from you and I thank you... but why you should suppose that I have already arrived at the stage of ‘second childishness’ which delights in toys! - and which the ‘picture-post card’ so picturesquely suggests! altogether passes my feeble imagination to discover, seeing that I am only just about completing my 84th year!!! Some weak minded person might possibly take it - Sarcastic? I am ‘not such a sickly creature I give heaven praise’, and even venture to hope that ‘tho’ lost to sight’ - I may be, not entirely forgotten...”, 2 sides 8vo., 10 Portsdown Road, Maida Hill, 5th January
