Weld and Vaughan both have entries in the Oxford DNB. The notice is printed in copperplate on the recto of the first leaf of a 4to bifolium. In fair condition, aged and lightly worn, with short closed tear to one edge, and slight damage to the second leaf from the cutting of the seal, which is present on the verso, with a good impression, in red wax, together with two postmarks and the address, in Weld's hand, to 'W. Vaughan Esq - [F.R.S.] / 70 Fenchurch Street / [Royal Society.]' The notice, signed 'C. R. Weld', reads: 'These are to give Notice that on the Thirtieth Day of November 184[4] being ST. ANDREW'S day, the Council and Officers of the Royal Society are to be Elected for the Year ensuing; at which Election, Your Presence is expected, at One [amended in manucript to 'Four'] of the Clock in the afternoon at the Apartments of the Royal Society, in Somerset Place, Strand.' A postscript, with manuscript emendations, gives details of the dinner to follow the election, 'at the Crown & Anchor Tavern in the Strand'.

From the papers of W. J. Macqueen-Pope (see his entry in the Oxford DNB). Addressed in autograph to MP care of the BBC, and then forwarded to his office, 359 Strand. Pencil annotation by MP. On one side of an unillustrated postmarked printed British 'Indian Postage' air mail card with Indian postage stamp. In good condition, aged and lightly-worn. Also in Singh's autograph is the salutation to 'Dear Pope' and the valediction 'Your sincere / St Nihal Singh ST NIHAL SINGH'. He is addressing MP 'informally in the belief that you are an old - and esteemed - acquaintance who in the years of my London journalism, gave his working hours to Rothermere Press and his leisure to Shakespeare and used to give me the pleasure of his company now and again'. He continues: 'SHOULD it be a case of mistaken identity (a phrase that must have often leant from your lips), let me hasten to ensure you that your broadcasts invariably delight us. You often speak of players whom we knew -- some of them in private life as well as on the stage. Your voice as we receive it is clear and pleasant.' Carbon copy of MP's typed reply, 9 November 1951: 1p, 4to. Aged and worn, with creasing and wear at foot, but no loss of text. He believes that Singh has him mixed up with 'T. Michael Pope, who was a journalist and a friend of mine although no relation. I have always worked in the theatre, although for many years now my job therein has been a combination of management and publicity which always brought me into the closest contact with Fleet Street, and I feel sure we met.' Singh's postacard has given him 'great joy. Nowadays I write many books all on the subject of the Theatre. I don't know whether they ever get to India but if they do, I am sure you would like them.'.

All texts clear and complete. Autograph item with some creasing, otherwise in good condition on lightly-aged paper. Ten items signed 'Compton Mackenzie', and two ''. Eight of the items each one page of landscape 8vo; one 8vo, 1 p; another 12mo, 1 p; the autograph note 4to, 1 p; and the card 16mo, 1 p. The first item (4to, 1 p, in autograph) is dated 22 September 1948. Having met Brett-James he thanks him for sending the proofs of his war memoir 'Report My Signals' (London: Hennel Locke Ltd, 1948): 'I was much impressed by it, and supported it strongly for a Book Society Recommendation. But please keep this to yourself, because other members of the committee still have to give their opinion.' Other topics include Mackenzie's military history 'Eastern Epic' (1951), which he admits is 'going to be rather choppy', Brett-James's '5 Div. History', 'Piggy Heath' and Brett-James looking through (in 1955) 'the first seven chapters' of one of Mackenzie's books. Three letters from 1952 concern Brett-James's attempt to join the publishers Chatto & Windus. In the first (27 March) Mackenzie writes: 'I have written to Chattos about you, but I don't expect there'll be any chance of a vacancy there because Piers Raymond and Peter Cochrane are now Directors and both young men. Their reader is Cecil Day Lewis. I sympathise with your wish to be with them because they are really delightful people to be with, but I don't think you must have much hope.' In the same letter he refers to the loss of 'reading sight of my left eye'. The letter from Mackenzie's second wife (landscape 12mo, 1 p), signed 'Chrissie MacSween', has a square of paper torn from the bottom right-hand corner. Despite this, the text is legible. Apologising for 'this seeming familiarity' she is returning Brett-James's railway ticket, 'which Kenny [i.e. Mackenzie] found on the floor after you'd gone'. She speculates that he may be receive 'the full refund on it'. Also fourteen newspaper cuttings by and about Mackenzie, from between 1938 and 1962, all in good condition on lightly-aged paper. Including two of Mackenzie's 'Sidelight' columns from the Spectator, both 1953, and a 1938 article by him from the Listener entitled 'I Became an Author'. Also an appreciation by Joyce Weiner in John o'London's Weekly, 1953, 'Seventy Happy Years', and 'An Appreciation [of Mackenzie's 'On Moral Courage'] by Sir Charles Petrie', Illustrated London News, 1962. From the papers of Anthony Brett-James.

A feature of Brett-James's well-received war memoir 'Report My Signals' (1948) was the fifteen reproductions of his pencil drawings of Indian men who served under him. None of the portraits present here feature in that book or have been reproduced elsewhere, but those published in the book give an excellent idea of Brett-James's skill at conveying character in well-executed pencil sketches. The nineteen drawings in this collection are all in good condition, on aged paper, with occasional light creasing. Eleven are in 8vo, and eight in 12mo. Eighteen of the nineteen are signed by Brett-James with his monogram initials. Four of the 8vo portraits have a few features picked out in colour. Having commanded the Madrassi Signals of 123 Brigade in a drive through central Burma to Rangoon, Brett-James sought - as described in RMS, pp.310-328 - to 'recover from a sickness' by travelling in April and May of 1945 'up to the hills', setting out 'out with a Dutch companion, sirdars and porters to trek through the state of Sikkhim, to see the snows of Everest and Kanchenjunga, and to glory in rhododendron trees and sublime scenery' (RMS, p.309). Five of the nineteen pencil drawings in this collection are portrait heads of Tibetans encountered on that journey, executed in Dentam, Kewzing, Namchi, Phalut and Tanglu. All five are dated by Brett-James, with the names of the sitters given as: 'Lob Song. Tibetan Sirdar' [i.e. the 'well-known sirdar named Lobsang, who accompanied the 1938 Everest Expedition as far as Camp Six', depicted here by Brett-James 'wearing the Himalayan Club bronze medal', RMS, p.315], 'Gyalgen. Sherpa Sirdar' [RMS, pp.314-323], 'Subha Rai. Nepali Sirdar' [RMS, pp.314, 320, 322-327], 'Song Yol. Lepcha Chowkidar' and 'Netuk. Lepcha'. A further twelve portrait heads (four in 8vo and eight in 12mo) date from a visit by Brett-James to Darjeeling in August 1943. Two of the twelve (both 8vo) are captioned: 'Sherpa Ponywallah' and 'Tibetan Wanderer'. The last two portraits in the collection (both 8vo) were executed in Naga in December 1944: 'Zakkah Hai. A Naga hillman' (with red shawl and orange necklace) and 'Naga Roadmender'. See sample image.
