Five documents. The two telegrams are in fair condition, lightly aged and worn; the other items are in good condition. A photocopy of a typed page from Brooks's diary explains the context in entertaining fashion: '"Staggerer number one," whispered Dick Swiveller over my shoulder this morning when on my office desk I found a letter from Ronald Staples giving me a twelve month's statutory notice of dismissal from the editorship of Truth.' He explains that the magazine is losing money, and criticises Staples's plans. 'However here's a how-de-do! Unless I sell my Statist holding very soon, I'll be bankrupt, and now with no job to keep me in roof and oddments. I immediately wrote to Beaverbrook, who is in the Barbadoes. [.] I anticipate no help from that quarter, for many reasons, and will next have to try Hulton. The prospect of going back to slave-journalism is no pleasant [one] within a month of one's fifty-ninth birthday'. Next comes a typed copy of a letter from Staples to Brooks, 27 November 1952, beginning: 'When I first had the pleasure of meeting you on the subject of TRUTH you kindly said you would be willing to carry on the editorship "for as long or as short a period" as I wished up to three years.' He continues with reference to his 'serious illness', before stating that 'we are losing money rapidly and we feel that we should re-organise and change the format and size but not the character of the paper. We feel that the re-organisation will include an eventual change in the editorship. We know you will not regard it as unappreciative therefore if we ask you to please regard this letter as a formal twelve month notice of the termination of the engagement.' The next item is a carbon of Brooks's letter to Beaverbrook, 28 November 1952. He explains that he has to leave Truth, but has 'still to earn a livelihood. | Is there any possibility of your being able to fit me into your organisation? | I ask this not on grounds of personal friendship, but because I am an experienced leader-writer, feature-writer, literary critic and commentator, with some "following." He concludes: 'This request, I trust, will not embarrass you.' Beaverbook's response is a Post Office Cable & Wireless telegram, 5 December [1952] (capitals reduced): 'Letter received stop I would like it stop Please see Robertson | Max'. The fifth item is unconnected: a Cable & Wireless telegram, 24 December 1950: 'My dear Collin very many thanks for your good message and also for your goodwill and good friendship | Maxwell Beaverbrook'.

12mo, 2 pp. Twenty-eight lines of text. Good, on lightly-creased paper. Lockhart's signature has been docketed in ink (by Aitken?) 'Sir Robert'. A letter of condolence on the death of Aitken's father. Reminisces about the 'moment I came into his life', a 'luncheon at Charkley' soon after the First World War: 'The only other guest was Augustus John. [.] as you know, I learnt much from him. Indeed, it was he who taught me how to write, and in his house I met numerous people whom, but for him, I should never have known.' He considers that Beaverbrook treated him 'nobly'. He will keep the last letter he received from Beaverbrook: 'It was an original letter and, as you know, he always wanted originality in every writer and newspaper correspondent'. Beaverbrook was 'a very great and generous man' and Lockhart feels sure that his son 'will follow in his steps'. He hopes to see him, but is 'too old now to come often to London. I wish you a great future.'.

Aitken" in pencil on title page and page [5]. William Maxwell "Max" Aitken, 1st Baron Beaverbrook, Bt, PC, (25 May 1879 - 9 June 1964) was a Canadian-British business tycoon, politician, and writer. Beaverbrook was both admired and despised in England, sometimes at the same time: in his 1956 autobiography, David Low quotes H.G. Wells as saying of Beaverbrook: "If ever Max ever gets to Heaven, he won't last long. He will be chucked out for trying to pull off a merger between Heaven and Hell after having secured a controlling interest in key subsidiary companies in both places, of course.".
