1p., 4to. In good condition, lightly aged. Addressed in type to 'My dear Shepard,' but with the last word corrected in autograph to 'Ernest'. He has now 'made sufficient progress with Monmouthshire' to be able to give Shephard 'a line': 'The first two verses bear upon the Wye valley and the Usk valley, of which Tintern is the best symbol. The last verse states that should King Arthur return to set up his table once more, he would be able to make a rapid fortune by providing tea, | With Guinevere and Lancelot | Alert to keep the water hot.' He suggests that 'the lower part of the page shows King Arthur and his knights waiting on a crowd of trippers, and in the upper part you have Tintern, and perhaps a winding road crowded with cars and chars-à-banc, with a background of wooded mountain scenery.' He concludes by stating that he has 'asked Mr. Ashley Cooper, the cricket collector', to let Shepard 'have the three Graces', with the assurance that he will return them 'safely and quickly'. The poem appeared in Punch in the same year.…

1p., 8vo. Signed at bottom right: 'E. V. L.' Sixteen lines of verse, divided into two eight-line stanzas, beginning: 'As I went down to Hertfordshire | To visit Hatfield Oak, | I met the prettiest girl, to whom | Courageously I spoke.' The conceit of the poem is that the girl is the 'Queen of Hearts', and the author is trumped in his suit of her by the king, the last two lines reading: 'The King strode in, the Queen to win, | And I I lacked the Ace.' Charles Lamb, whom Lucas greatly admired and whose works he edited, had particular links with the county of Hertfordshire.…

A total of 50 items, all but the three earliest of Strong's letters held together with a brass stud. The collection in good overall condition, on lightly aged and worn paper. Strong's 24 letters total 37pp., with the early letters signed 'L A G Strong' and the later ones 'Leonard', and occasional variant signatures in between ('Leonard Strong', 'LAGS'). The copies of Greenwood's 26 letters (two in autograph, the rest typed) total 32pp. An interesting correspondence, in which Strong responds with tact and patience to his inexperienced correspondent's proposals and actions. Strong had considerable experience, not only as a publisher with Methuen, but also in the film business: for example, his own novel 'The Brothers' was made into a film in 1947, and he also worked on the script of the David Niven comedy 'Happy Ever After' (1954). The three earliest of Strong's letters date from 1946, and concern her request to work as his secretary. In the first, on Methuen letterhead, 8 August 1946, he explains: 'During the war, my wife has typed my MSS but of course, I have had to do them & my letters all longhand: no dictating: with great loss of time. | I'm longing to be able to dictate letters & start work, radio scripts, etc: BUT we have no room in the house for a secretary to live in: there is no room locally: so that, since the war stopped, I've still been able to do nothing about it. | What I want at the moment is somewhere in London, with but one room & typewriter, to which I could go on three or four mornings a week for a start, at any rate.' The next two letters indicate that the scheme fails for want of accommodation. The rest of the correspondence dates from between 1949 and 1952, with Greenwood explaining (7 March 1949) that she has 'left the Bank at last and for the past few months have been working as Secretary to Mr. Robert Donat, the actor. I have always been interested in writing, as you (perhaps regretfully) may remember, and have never quite given up on the idea. On entering the film business I found, at least I hope so, a good outlet for this ambition. Yes, writing film scripts!' She explains that she has teamed up with a former secretary of his 'and started a script writing concern which we called "FILMPLAY". I did a script of Hugh Walpole's "Rogue Herries" for Robert Newton, which greatly interested him []'. In response to her request that he let her have 'a go' at working on one of his novels, whilst sending him samples of her work, he replies (10 March 1949): 'I am appalled by your industry and optimism in making scripts for which you have no contract! [] If you can interest a producer in Trevannion or The Bay or any of my books, then I shall be only too glad. There are enquiries after Trevannion, but nothing at all defininite, and the market is wide open. Cecil Parker is a good idea but I think Ralph Richardson an even better?' On 28 May 1949, in a five-page autograph letter, he strikes a note of disapproval: 'I'm afraid I didn't much care for your synopsis of TREVANNION which has a complete misstatement in the first sentence, by the way but at the same time I didn't want to hinder you from trying to place it with a producer. [] I am shocked by your letter to Eric Portman. Honestly, I cannot have my book touted around in this undignified way; apart from the fact that Portman would not at all suit the character, nor the character him. [] I think, too, that it is wrong of you to say that we are personal friends. We might be, if we had met: but what on earth would that have to do with the merits of the synopsis? I don't agree that one has to push in the film world: &, even if one did, that is hardly the way.' He elaborates on his position on 3 June 1949: 'Let me put it this way. I have been doing film work now since 1936, and my name has a certain professional goodwill as novelist and screen-writer. There could be no harm in your submitting a synopsis of one of my books, made with my permission, to produc.…
