2pp, 12mo. In fair condition, lightly aged. A daughter from Lady Derby's first marriage was married to the Earl of Galloway, from whose seat Derby writes. Addressed to 'G. [sic] Norbury. Esq.' Having received the letter of the unnamed male recipient, he feels he 'must decline to give my name as "patron" of the now proposed society of water colour painters in Liverpool: not because I do not approve of the formation of such a society, but because your invitation to join it is the first intimation I have received of any such project being in contemplation'. At present he knows 'absolutely nothing of its chances of success, nor of the individuals by whom it is being promoted'. Should the society 'appear likely to deserve and obtain support', he will 'with pleasure join in promoting it', but he cannot give his name without more information. Norbury was the Liverpool Watercolour Society's first president; Derby does not appear to have been involved.

See his entry in the Oxford DNB. Mill had died on 8 May, and in his 2018 biography, Timothy Larsen gives an account of the controversy over the efforts to have buried in Westminister Abbey. (In any event by his own desire Helen Taylor had her husband buried at Avignon.) 2pp, 12mo. With thin mourning border. In fair condition, lightly aged. Folded three times. Begins: 'Lord Derby regrets that he shall not be able to see Mr Arnold when he calls to-day, as Lord Derby is sitting on an arbitration case at Westminster which takes him away from home at eleven till four.' Derby now turns to the purpose of the proposed meeting, explaining that he will 'with pleasure join in any mark of respect to the late Mr Mill which does not take such a fashion as to imply on the part of the contributors or promoters an agreement in Mr Mill's political opinions.' The recipient 'Mr Arnold' is undoubtedly Matthew Arnold. See his effusive letter to his wife, 1 October 1882, on a visit to Derby's country house.
