MEYNELL
(Viola, 1885-1956, Writer, Novelist and Poet)
Autograph Letter Signed to 'Dear Sir Ronald' (STORRS )
(Sir Ronald Henry Amherst, 1881-1955, Near Eastern Expert and Governor) telling him that "so much of Francis Thompson's handwriting is in pencil, & so much of it unsigned, that a letter in ink, & with the signature, seems the best thing to send you. The article by my mother which it refers to is one called 'At Monastery Gates' which was reprinted in The Spirit of Place in 1896. It was written after she & my father had visited Francis Thompson at the monastery (Franciscan) at Pantasaph. I cannot convey to you - & you can never find out for yourself - how pleasant it is to sit next to you at luncheon. And thank you again for your book. I didn't realise it was inscribed until I opened it in the train ... to my great pleasure ...", 1 side 8vo., Greatham, Pulborough headed paper, 8th July
