First two letters 1p., 4to; third letter 2pp., 4to. All three signed 'John Cartier'. In fair condition, lightly aged and worn. In the last letter he states that he has received the 'envelopes', and has 'distributed them round to various singers and musicians who will eventually, I am sure, be sending you a photograph with best wishes'. He apologises for being unable to invite him to visit: 'You see, this is a very tiny flat and, in fact, I am very seldom here for any length of time as my work means continual journeying from place to place for concerts and shows. For instance, I am just off to the Channel Islands for some "Yeomen of the Guard" productions, an soon go back to America for concerts. This sort of thing is really quite hard-going and leaves very little time for doing many things one would like doing. The thing I look forward to most is to stay in one place for any length of time.' He ends with condolences over the recipient's heart attack. In the first letter, written on Cartier's return from America, he states that he is enclosing photographs 'to swell your already enormous collection'. In the second he explains that he is sends two more photographs, 'taken some time ago'.

See his entry and hers in the Oxford DNB. The two items are in good condition, lightly aged, and each folded once for postage. Neatly and firmly written. Both addressed to 'Dear Miss Scott' and signed 'Keith Falkner'. ONE: 2pp, 12mo. Eleven lines. He will be 'pleased to sing in the "Peasant Cantata" at the Union "At Home" on June 28th' and asks to know 'which version you will be doing as soon as you decide?' He ends with thanks for her 'kind sympathy - I do appreciate it very much'. TWO: 2pp, 8vo. Twenty-three lines of text. Her letter has been redirected, and reached him a couple of days before. He is glad she 'enjoyed the broadcast' he gave on 3 August. 'I am now working in my few spare moments on a programme that will deal with the 'time of day' instead of the year. I hope to do it towards the end of September, the Air Ministry permitting.' (Oxford DNB: 'During the Second World War Falkner served in an administrative capacity with the Royal Air Force'.) He regrets to inform her that after writing to her last 'from Orkney that I was posted south before the Male voice choir had given their concert & also I cannot find enough to say that is interesting'. He promises that if in future he does find anything 'of interest to the Magazine' he will send it to her. His wife is 'still working in [Inverness?] & enjoying life as much as is possible', and they 'have good news of our girls in Cincinnati'.
