2pp., 4to. In good condition, lightly aged. He knew that Finck was ill, but 'the news of his death broadcast on Friday night came as a shock to me. | He & I had known each other for many years, & specially during the last five or six years we had much to say to each other at the Savage, my admiration for him deepening the more I knew him.' Another member of the Savage Club, Philip Page, referred to Finck as 'the most genial man he ever knew', and this was 'endorsed by all his fellow Savages'. As 'Chairman of the House Dinner on Saturday night', Hammerton paid 'a brief tribute to him', and asked 'the Brethren who knew him so well to toast his memory in silence'. He ends with reference to '[a]nother dear friend of mine', who 'passed away within an hour or so of Herman - Sir Wm. Ramsay - to whose widow I have been writing tonight'. While Ramsay 'had his fill of years' at the age of 88, Finck hadn't, 'though his years were full & mostly lovely, and none of us who knew him well will ever hear one of his compositions played without feeling he is still with us . . . dear old Herman.' Finck's 'In the Shadows' was one of the last songs played as RMS Titanic went down.

He is sorry that Shorter was not able to visit the Chateaux of the Loire, but hopes that 'the sea air of Dieppe' has done him good. The year before Shorter's death, Hammerton writes: 'But you must really cease this brink-of-the-grave touch! Ten years hence, from an inglenook at Knockmoroon [where Shorter would die], you will wonder why you were anticipating the "closing down" of C.K.S. when everything was still "calling".' Discusses an 82-year-old friend for whom, 25 years before, 'all his thoughts & his physical equipment seemed "graveward hurrying". He is now quite lively: "the will to live" was the reason he gave me for his happy continuance after a long period of ill-health. Don't give in (even by contemplation) to the feeling that teh sands are running low in Old Time's glass.' Quotes eight lines from a poem by Thomas Hardy, 'written before 1898': 'Think of it, nigh on thirty years ago & he is still to the fore with another life-time of achievement to his credit.' He is 'going to print this out in a book' he is 'writing in a hurry'. He will be golfing with 'Sutton at Margate' the following week, so cannot meet Shorter.
