BEAVERBROOK
(Max Aitken, 1879-1964, Newspaper Proprietor & Statesman, from 1917 1st Baron)
Typed Letter Signed to Herbert S. Gunn, 1903-1962, editor of the Evening Standard
1944-1952, saying he will "not bother to write words of praise of the Standard, though I could think of many. But I am a critic ...", hoping that "the leader on the Doctors", which he liked, was passed by the policy committee, Whitehead's advertisement note was financial news, "not up to the standard of the Diary ... Keep an eye on Baxter. His notes of November 16th on the Theatre were hurried ...", while the picture "Smart girl comes to town" does not warrant the caption or the space, and suggesting the series be dropped, he is just back from his place Gunn Point in Nassau, "a lovely spot and as beautiful as your wife" (Olive, m. 1944, formerly a Mail reporter), 1 side 4to., Cromarty, Montego Bay, Jamaica, 26th November no year, circa

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
