Paper. Condition: Good. First Edition. An Original Hand Written Letter and Signed by Thomas Hughes. C1882. Thomas Hughes writes on June 15 1882 to a London clergyman, Henry Shuttleworth: Dear Shuttleworth, I have been moving about for the last week so that yours of the 9th only reached me yesterday. Of course I shall be glad that the hymn should be printed and used in any way you please. I am doubtful whether I shall be able to be in town on the 28th and 29th, but will do my best to get to the meeting at Lord B's and Lambeth. I hope the Y.M.F.S. [Young Men's Friendly Society] flourishes. Yours ever Thomas Hughes. It's thought Shuttleworth wanted to re-print Hughes's hymn, O God of Truth, which he wrote around 1859 to a late 17th century refrain. It was originally put into a collection called Lays of the Sanctuary, which was published for charity. The letter is written in ink on the front page of off-white, four-leaf notepaper measuring 7"x 4½". It bears the letter-head of Macmillan, the London publishing house.

See his entry in the Oxford DNB. In good condition, lightly aged. On first leaf of a bifolium of wove paper. Folded for postage. Signed 'Tho. Hughes'.

The last paragraph of McKenny Hughes's entry in the Oxford DNB deals with his marriage, noting that his wife was 'a keen amateur archaeologist, a botanist, and a distinguished artist, and under his tuition she became a valuable geologist', and that the couple 'travelled together on field excursions', being accompanied on a trip to the Balkans by an armed guard. Six boxes of her papers are among the rest of those of the Hughes family in the Sedgwick Museum, Cambridge. The present item is 64pp, 4to, mostly on the rectos of a ruled 'Universal Exercise Book. / 60 Pages One Penny.' The covers are a bit chipped and the pages a little browned, but the overall condition is good. Signed on the cover 'By Mary Caroline Hughes', with 'Finished M. S. 1' at the head. The essay is one over which she evidently took great care: there are numerous emendations and additions throughout. Extra passages are inserted on slips, several emendations are pasted over the text. There is no title, the work beginning with a quotation from 'Sleep and Beauty': 'Happy he who trusts / To Clear Futurity his darling Fame'. Although not especially perceptive, Hughes is always readable here. She begins: 'Although Keats had rested in his grave more than twenty five years before any biography of him was written we of the present day know perhaps more of that April life with its Spring brightness, its sudden storms, its nipping frost, than the friends who know him best.' Upside down at the back of the exercise book are three pages of pencil notes on Keats.…
