In addition to being signed by E.EO Somerville on the half-title page of volume I, there is an autographed letter signed by her written on a single sheet of paper folded in forths and tipped-in to the half title page. Somerville writes in bold, black ink: "45 Beaufort Gardens/ London/ S.W.3.Nov. 11.27" "Dear Mr. Smith, Forgive a very (underlined) hurried line. Ive written to Mr. Connett & asked him to refer the question of leaving out the par. About my horse to Mrs. Hitchcock. The letter is hers & I dont feel that I am authorized to leave anything out of it(tho I have asked to have a few words added to it, to which I am sure she will not object). I have today despatched the signed sheets. (A terrible business signing themas you, no you no doubt, know!) I prefer the plain white paper to using my tinted note paper (for the purpose), I think it will look more in keeping. I am very anxious to have the prospectus, & I have asked Mr Connett for a proof of the title pagewhich I hope to get before the 9th of the month. I am terribly busy getting ready for my picture shows, & London is a place where one never seems to have a minute to spare! (Which is my only excuse for this scribble). With very kind regards, Yours sincerely, E. OE. Somerville Somerville and Ross(Edith SomervilleandViolet Florence Martin, writing under the nameMartin Ross) were anAnglo-Irishwriting team, perhaps most famous for their series of books that were made into the TV seriesThe Irish R.M. The television series is based on stories drawn fromSome Experiences of an Irish RM,Further Experiences of an Irish RMandIn Mr Knox's Country. The various stories concern the life of anAnglo-IrishformerBritish Armyofficer recently appointed as aresident magistrate(R.M.) in Ireland, which at that stage was still wholly a part of theUnited Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, some years before its partition into theIrish Free State(now the Republic of Ireland) andNorthern Ireland.Somerville and Ross also wrote other work together, including the novelThe Real Charlotte(1894), considered their masterpiece. Even after the death of "Ross" in 1915, Somerville continued to write and publish stories under their joint names, claiming that the two were still in contact.The Big House of Inver, a novel of 1925, falls into that category.The precise nature of their relationship whether they were romantic and sexual partners as well as literary collaborators and friends has been the object of speculation by later writers.
