BEDFORD
(Sybille, 1911-1006, German born English Writer of Non-fiction and Semi-autobiographical Fiction)
Autograph Letter Signed ‘Sybille’ to Josephine PULLEIN-THOMPSON
(1924-2014, Writer best known for her Pony Books) thanking her for “making my 80th Birthday party so memorable & so delightful. I am still overcome by the ‘Tributes’! I couldn’t really believe the speakers were talking about me. But what a warming purring feeling it does leave behind! I realise how hard and devotedly you all must have worked to make everything go so smoothly - and such a delicious dinner. Anna was thrilled to be sitting beside you. I do rather wish I’d bought Jack (my great-grandson!). He adores parties... one thing still haunts me and you. must deal with it for me, like a dear. I was just coming up to Peter’s name, at the end, when it (his name) fell though a hole in my memory without warning... it is too embarrassing... I know Peter is too nice to take umbrage - but not to mention him of all people. It was partly because I’d been thinking about David Caron & the old days...”, 2 sides 4to., 30 Clareville Grove, 14th May

ORIGINAL SKETCHES SENT AS A REPLY TO A LETTER
BEERBOHM
(Sir H. Max, 1872-1956, Humorist & Caricaturist)
Page of five pencil caricature sketches
on the blank last sheet of an Autograph Letter from Ethell STYAN in which she asks him if he "could do a drawing for me to give Lord Howard de Walden for a wedding present. I can think of nothing more suitable nor applicable to him that that - but I can't afford more than ten guineas for it. Can that be done? Sickert would approve this frank & brutal bargain. I do hope you are going to give us some more of Julenka's exploits. She has been refreshing. Lord Howard is to be married on the 20th inst. I have left it till late of course ...", on the verso of the 3rd side are 5 sketches of heads of men, mostly with rather prominent noses in caricature expressions, 4 sides 8vo., in total, 30 South Street Mayfair headed paper, 11th February
