He invites Philipart to 'do us the pleasure of meeting Dr & Mrs Bennett on Wednesday next at dinner at 6.40 for 7 o Cl'. He is 'most anxious', as they are 'both going down the hill [last four words underlined] to renew an old & much valued friendship & to re introduce you to some of my grown up children'. He urges him to 'make an effort to come among yr old friends & shake them again by the hands', and will 'consider it a compliment' should he do so. He asks him to 'tell Dr Bennett that the engagement is for Wednesday not Tuesday as we agreed upon this morning'. The author of this letter is not to be confused with his son L. Forbes Winslow (1844-1913), also a psychiatrist, as well as cricketer, remembered for his involvement in the Jack the Ripper case.

Letter One (November 1848; folio, 1 p; on discoloured, creased and worn paper): Availing himself of Philippart's 'kind permission to contribute to the U. S. Magazine', Stocqueler is sending 'the commencement of a Historical Sketch' he has 'long meditated writing'. 'A note in this month's Dublin University Mag. has afforded the text - & the pretext'. It 'will be calculated to please the India Office', and will contain 'a good deal of personal sketch'. Addressed on reverse to Philippart at the Magazine's office at 19 Catherine Street, Strand, and docketed by Philippart. Letter Two ('Thursday', 12mo, 2 pp, good). Warning Philippart against 'being led' by Sir John Henniker 'into any publication regarding his affair with Captains Bray & Wilson. He adopted so infamous a course in regard to them some months ago, thro' the U. S. Gazette, that I was obliged to tell him to his face he was a poltroon - He swallowed the insult & sneaked away. There is no dependence to be placed on one word he says.' Bray is rich and will 'bring an action against him or those who publish any of his statements, on the slightest pretext'. Letter Three (10 August 1870; 12mo, 3 pp; good, on lightly creased and discoloured paper): He is returning the volume on the Victoria Cross. He has 'duly recd.' Philippart's note 'enclosing an extract from 's letter to you & have no doubt I shall be able to make some use of it if occasion shd. arise'. Discusses a newspaper of which '' has 'evidently been trying to dispose a part'. 'Who would be the business associate of one so wanting in temper or decision? Not I. Two months ago he gave me a month's warning. At the end of that time asked me to go on.'.

Manuscript / Paper Collectible
3pp, 12mo. Bifolium. In fair condition, lightly aged and worn, with traces of mount, and red wax seal, adhering to the reverse of the second leaf, which is franked (the franker's name and signature illegible) to 'Sir John Phippart [sic] | &c &c | No 8 New Burlington St'. Slight loss to one corner of second leaf, from breaking open of seal, with damage to one word of text. The recipient is the naval writer John Philippart (c.1784-1874), and the address is in fact that of the publishing house of Colburn and Bentley, publishers of the Naval and Military Gazette of which Philippart was the editor. The letter, which concerns a contribution to that journal by Dundas, begins: 'Dear Sir | I shall send in a few days another conclusion to your journal which I think you will deem better worth insertion than my foregoing one. It contains the battle of Fuentes and some matter immediately succeeding'. Dundas hopes that Philippart will find room for the piece in the number for March, and explains that it will take at least as much space 'as the Artle you mention to be in the Jany No and which has not come to hand'. In a postscript he asks, 'If it is not a secre[t,] Pay who is [binded?] whose opinion in my respects coincide with mine?'.
