Published by to 1919 each a 'Charles Letts School-Boy's Diary'. At front of diaries for 1916 and 1917 he writes: 'C L. Harris / 120 Gladstone St / Bedford', 1916
Manuscript / Paper Collectible
See Fry's entry by Michael Billington in the Dictonary of National Biography. His brother survives as a rather shadowy figure: he was certainly alive in 1978, when Fry referred to him in the account of his family background 'Can You Find Me / A Family History' (OUP). In that volume Fry describes his 'brother Leslie' as a baby 'growing sturdily', noting that 'though he was later called by his first name Charles, he was Leslie for many years to come'. The four years of diary entries that are present here are short and factual and rather uneventful, but they have a double interest: at once casting light on the family background of one of England's finest twentieth-century playwrights, and giving a picture of the development of an average English middle-class schoolboy around the period of the First World War, as he rises to position of 'Head of School' at Bedford. The four volumes are in fair condition, aged and worn, with the 1916 diary sprung from its covers at the gutter of the rear endpapers. The four volumes are uniform in embossed brown cloth, (described by the publisher as 'Art Linen'), each with back loop for pencil. Each volume provides space for four days' entries per page, with numerous preliminary printed pages with the customary useful information, including endpapers and other matter reflective of the conflict, with maps of the Europe theatre, illustrations of medals and of a 'soldier-' and 'sailor-boy hero of the Great War', the last volume carrying a 'Message from Admiral Sir John Jellicoe to the Readers of "The Schoolboys' Diary'. In the first three volumes Harris writes in pencil, filling in the diary assiduously from 1 January 1916. In the final volume, by May of 1919, the entries become intermittent, and on 15 August 1919, they cease entirely. In additional to the daily record, Harris also provides details of 'Pocket Money', personal information (including 'Size in Hats') and memoranda (dates of significant events, such as 'Promoted to Lance-Corporal in the O.T.C.', 'Received 1st XV colours' and, on 24 July 1919, 'Made HEAD OF SCHOOL.'). Loosely inserted are a few postal order counterfoils and Chatham bus tickets. The entries begin in 1916 with Harris on his school holidays, doing errands for his widowed mother and reading to her, and entertaining his brother 'Arthur' (i.e. Christopher Fry), for example by taking him on walks (to town for a haircut) and helping him with his stamp collection. The monotony of school begins (repeated entries in early volumes start with 'School as usual') and the entries reflect the rounds of sport (he is captain of the 'Wasps' cricket team in 1916), cadet corps, bible classes, exams, trips to London (2 January 1919: 'Went over St Dunstans in morning with Jack / Uncle Walter took Jack, girl, Madeleine & myself up to the "Old Vic" to see Shakespear's "Macbeth" 2.0-5.0. Jolly fine performance though a bit tragic / Left & returned by train took 1 hr each way.'), his health (recurring toothache, mumps, etc), the weather, involvement (for the war effort?) in agriculture (11 September 1918: 'Another dismal day all by myself. Have quite made up my mind to chuck farming if this goes on, especially as when I was happily walking home at 4.30, I ran into more work & had to load wheat till 7.9.'). By 1918 the entries begin to loosen up a little. On 19 March for example: 'Rotten, wet beastly, muddy, miserable day, with a boil on my chin about the size of an egg & a Corps Inspection 2.30 by Lieut Col Pilkington on top of that. The rest may speak for itself. Also EII beat WII by 1/4 length.' And on 10 September; 'G [his friend Gerald, often referred to] & I shocked barley all the morning & then ditched until 5.30. Shocking barley is qute a decent job.' The signing of the armistice, 11 November 1918, is greeted with 'Flags all over the town, bells, etc. Bands in afternoon; town packed.' And on the following day 'Whole Holiday for Armistice / Thanksgiving Service in Hall instead of Prayers.' Final.

Manuscript / Paper Collectible Signed
No Binding. Condition: Very Good. Handwritten deed on folio sheet of laid paper. Double-sided with signature of Christopher Greenup attesting the validity of the deed on the verso. Deed records the transfer of property in Mercer, County in the District of Kentucky near Irish Station, from John Brown to Jared Cowan, one of 32 original settlers of Fort Harrod, Kentucky's first permanent settlement. Also contains the signatures of Kentucky pioneers John Cowan, James Brown and Thomas Speed. John Cowan, brother of Jared, and James Brown were two of the original 31 settlers of Harrodsburg, and along with Jared are listed as members of Harrod's Company of Kentucky Pioneers. Thomas Speed, brother of Farmington Plantation founder John Speed and uncle of Lincoln's future Attorney General James Speed, later served as a major in the Kentucky militia in the War of 1812 and as a U.S. congressman. Several folds to the sheet with splitting to the folds in various places. Old stain at bottom of the sheet obscuring several words of the document but not the signatures. Rare of autograph of Christopher Greenup (1750-1818), future third governor of Kentucky from 1804-1808. During the Revolution Greenup served as a lieutenant in the Continental Army and a Colonel in the Virginia militia. Greenup served as clerk of the first Kentucky statehood convention in 1784 and participated in each of the subsequent conventions leading to Kentucky statehood. Following statehood in 1792 Greenup in both the Kentucky Senate and House at various times and first ran for governor in 1800, finishing second. During his second run for governor in 1804, Greenup's popularity in the state allowed him to run unopposed for the office. In 1812 Greenup served as presidential elector for the ticket of Madison and Clinton and in 1813 served as Kentucky Secretary of State. In the context of the present document Greenup in his role as a lawyer is validating the deed on behalf of the Virginia Supreme Court. Jared Cowan is sometimes confused with his brother James who was killed by Indians in 1774. Jared however lived in Mercer County until his death in 1795, with his will attested and inventoried in 1796. An extraordinary document of early Kentucky. Signed by Author(s).
