GOMME (George Laurence, 1853-1916, F.S.A., Folklorist)

Autograph Letter Signed to the Revd. W.C. Lukis, saying he was "very glad to receive the approval of so eminent an antiquary as yourself to my letter in the Athenaeum ... Of course the great need is co-operation under the lead of some powerful fellow" [of the Society of Antiquaries]. "Letters to the President or Council get a polite acknowledgment and are then forgotten and the great body of the fellows know nothing of it", envisaging "some plan ... to show the council ... that the old hum-drum must give way to proper activity", 2 Park Villas, Lonsdale Road, Barnes, 14th October
