1p., 4to. In fair condtion, lightly aged and creased. With a few autograph corrections by Roberts. Having been unsuccessful in placing an individual with Wilson, Roberts writes: 'Of course forty years ago the advent of a bookshop like yours was a tremendous event, and we all flocked to it as something new and wonderful, as indeed it was. I recollect that among my little batch I bought a "Sesame & Lillies" in a little grey cloth cover and it turned out afterwards that it was one of two that Ruskin had had experimentally bound and turned down because he did not like the cover, for which he substituted the well known brown.'.…

R. J. L. Kingsford, in his history of the Publishers Association, describes Young as 'a bookseller of outstanding character and ability, a friend of Arnold Bennett, and the discoverer of the literary distinction of George Sturt'. 1p., 12mo. Neatly and closely written. Headed 'private', and addressed to 'Dear John'. Young is apparently following a dinner (of the Publishers Association) at which George Bernard Shaw was present, and the subject of the letter would appear to be an exhibition Wilson's firm has mounted of books by the London publisher John Murray. He asks him not to allow his 'remarks of Thursday to drill too deeply into your mind'. From Wilson's 'early note' he fears his remarks may have been taken too seriously. 'Knowing you so well and as you will believe with so considerable a liking, I thought you should be made aware of an outside impression which does exist though has not been expressed to me. It was a criticism of the publisher rather than of you. If you look at it from these outsiders point of view it resolves itself into propaganda for your firm.' From Young's own point of view 'such exhibitions can only do good to the Book trade and I am not minded to consider too personal a point of view. Now you may dismiss this matter from your mind If Murrays and subsequent shows would make it clear that the books exhibited are on sale at all reputable bookshops it might be "A Good Thing" as the author of "1066 and all that" says.' Young concludes: 'I wish I'd stayed another few minutes. - & seen G. B. S. I liked herself very much.' From the papers of John G. Wilson, for information regarding whom see his entry in the Oxford DNB.…

1p., 4to. In good condition, lightly aged. He acknowledges Wilson's 'kind letter regarding Dalglish', who 'suffered a good deal during the latter weeks of his life, but I am glad to say that even then he still retained that brightness of disposition of which you speak'. Dalglish will be 'greatly missed by many book buyers in the West of Scotland and we, personally, will find his place very hard to fill.' Wylie is 'taking a liberty' in sending Wilson's letter to Dalglish's widow: 'I am sure she will be glad to know that her husband left such a pleasant mark on the younger of his contemporaries'. He ends in the hope that 'time continues to deal kindly' with Wilson. For information on Wilson, who was born in Glasgow and served his apprenticeship there with the firm of John Smith & Son, see his entry in the Oxford DNB.…

See the two men's entries in the Oxford DNB. In good condition, on the first leaf of bifolium. (There are extensive pencil annotations in a later hand on the second leaf.) Very neatly written. Addressed to 'J. G. Wilson Esqre.' and signed 'Anstey Guthrie'. He has 'much pleasure' in answering Wilson's question. ''Shut Out' is a short story of mine which was published in Longmans Magazine about 1895 or 6, afterwards included in a volume of short stories under the title of "The Talking Horse". I think published by Messrs. Smith & Elder - but now long out of print. "The Talking Horse" is included in "Humour & Fantasy", but not "Shut Out".' See Image.…

Both 1p., 4to, and both in good condition, on lightly-aged paper. ONE (11 September): He is writing regarding Wilson's 'kind suggestion that I should call in and see you one day shortly before the publication of my THACKERAY book'. Having been told by 'Mr. Hartley' that Bumpus is on holiday, he will call on 14 September. TWO (13 September 1932): Presumably with his tongue in his cheek, he writes: 'Dear Sirs, | Thank you for your letter of yesterday, reference II,456JGW, and for saving me the risk of a fruitless visit. I will call to see Mr. Wilson on Thursday the 15th, instead of to-morrow.' Elwin's 'Thackeray: A Personality' was published by Jonathan Cape in 1932.…

1p., 4to. In fair condition, on aged and creased paper. He announces the publication of 'a book of outstanding literary importance, namely Meyerstein's "Life of Chatterton". Meyerstein is undoubtedly the greatest living authority on this subject, and his book, the result of nine years original research, contains much unpublished material. I believe it will be recognised as the standard work on Chatterton for many years to come.' He states that he has 'put a great deal of money and time into this book', and asks Wilson to help him 'make it a success'. The letter concludes: 'Our traveller will call upon you probably tomorrow. I shall be glad to know if you are able to use any prospectuses'.…

The six items in good condition, lightly-aged and with slight rust spotting. Four of the letters concern an exhibition of the CUP's work at the Bumpus store, 350 Oxford Street. Lewis's four letters are all signed 'W. Lewis' and on his own CUP letterhead. One: 24 September 1931. 2pp., 8vo. In reply to Wilson's congratulations over the exhibition he informs him that he will be sending his son ('subject of course to your consent'), 'who has been in the printing [sic] now for two years and should know something of types. I have heard some criticisms of the Oxford Exhibition and several turned on the fact that nobody was there to be able to tell them about types, and therefore after next week I shall come up at least once a week and be available for that type of enquiry'. The rest of the letter concerns 'the little label for your correspondence' and 'a proof of the card all in black'. Two: 9 November 1941. 1p., 8vo. 'Its [sic] just like you to put the final touch to an interesting event. Frankly I have had little to do with it and the real credit lies between you and our publishing department and in that order. That it will do good I am sure. Practically every day I get some reference to it by our correspondents and the accumulative effect will I am sure be great. A lot of it has been good sound criticism which is good for the Press and printing generally.' Three: 3 May 1932. 1p., 8vo. 'You really are a wonderful fellow. Only you would think of sending me a telegram. I've never had one before from anyone and it comes as a delightful surprise. I felt pleased with the book, but now I am ready to swank about it.' Four: 5 July 1932. 1p., 8vo. He congratulates him on 'the Lewis Carroll Exhibition': 'How you do it I don't know. I only hope all publishers and printers appreciate how much you are doing for their respective trades. One cannot expect to see immediate benefit but I am sure the effect is cumulative and I do feel personally how much this Press is indebted for the work you put in all these Exhibtions.' Five: Kingsford (as Assistant Manager of the London branch of the CUP) to Wilson. 24 September 1931. On CUP letterhead, Fetter Lane, London. Signed 'R. J. L. Kingsford'. 1p., 8vo.

He ends by stating that he is contacting the Jewish Chronicle about the exhibition. Six: Roberts to WIlson. 9 November 1931. Signed 'S. C. Roberts'. 1p., 4to. 'I [.] fully reciprocate your feelings about the Exhibition. I am quite sure that it has been of real service to the Press and I hope that your firm too has reaped some advantage from it. | The Syndics are extremely grateful to you for the opportunity which you have given them of displaying their books and it is especially satisfactory to reflect that all members of your staff and our own have worked in such cordial co-operation throughout the period of the Exhibition.'.…
