Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. [FISHER, Sir John]; NICHOLSON, Sir Walter Frederic (1877?1946). Typed letter signed W. F. Nicholson, on Admiralty stationery, concerning submarine fittings. Admiralty, S.W., 15 July 1905. Single sheet 230 × 203 mm, typed, with Admiralty blind-embossed seal at head; signed in ink at foot. Horizontal folds from original dispatch; light creasing and faint toning, otherwise clean and legible. Very good. An official Admiralty letter written on behalf of Sir John Fisher, then First Sea Lord, acknowledging correspondence and offering comments on the fitting of appliances for pumping air into British submarines while submerged. The letter confirms that such systems had been fitted 'since their first inception'. This is an early letter about submarine technology, with A class subs being launched in 1902 and B class only a year earlier in 1904.  Signed by Walter Frederic Nicholson, at this date a junior Admiralty official, who would later rise to become Permanent Secretary of the Air Ministry and appointed KCB in 1922.  The letter sits firmly within Fisher's programme of naval modernisation, during a period when submarines were controversial, strategically uncertain, and still regarded by many senior officers as auxiliary or even ungentlemanly weapons. An administrative letter in the formative phase of British submarine policy. Signed by Author(s).

The recipient Simon Nicholson was a colonial civil servant and a neighbour of Lugard at Tallboys in Abinger Hammer. He and his wife Molly were a cultured couple, and were friends of Edith Wharton and Bernard Berenson. The four letters are in good condition, lightly aged and worn, and each is 2pp, 12mo. Each folded once. The first three are signed 'Lugard' and the last, to Molly Nicholson, 'Fred Lugard'. In the first letter (23 September 1940), after expressing pleasure at seeing Nicholson again and having 'a talk', he begs him 'not to postpone your week-end here. Molly needs it badly She did not say so quite the contrary but I did not need to be told.' He asks him to come the following Saturday, adding: 'You can bring papers & have the drawing-room to yourself.' He asks to be informed 'as much in advance as is convenient as I may have Reg Brackenbury & his wife any week-end'. Lugard's brother 'was disappointed that you forgot to hand me some papers you had for him'. The second letter (21 March 1941) concerns arrangements for a meeting, with Lugard stating that 'it is a monstrous long time since I have seen you'. He also expresses regret that Nicholson is 'selling Tallboys'. The third letter (9 May 1941) begins: 'My brother & I are both delighted to hear that you are coming back to Tallboys, & selfishly hope that you will continue to fail in your attempts to sell it. If Little Parkhurst can be of any use to you in the transition don't fail to make use of it.' He has 'been much engrossed with Abyssinia of late', and looks forward to talking to Nicholson about it. In a postscript he names two individuals who 'are coming "to talk over old times"'. In the final letter, to Molly (22 January 1943), he regrets that it is so long since he has seen her and her husband, 'for though so comparatively close the lack of petrol has as you say placed a gulf between us. Simon wrote me a most welcome letter from his office & I enclose this little note to you in my reply.' He find the 'news from Russia [] very cheering - & wonderful', and does not suppose it will be 'very long now before our turn comes to face the Nazis in Europe'. He ends in the hope that 'some obliging friend' will give the Nicholsons 'a lift over'.
