Description:
Thomas Nelson,, 1927. 8vo., single sheet on the printed stationery of Thomas Nelson the publisher (Buchan was a director of this company among several others); dated 6 December 1927; addressed to Edmund Vale at his home address in Bethesda, North Wales; very lightly age-browned but a clear, crisp letter with strong signature 'John Buchan'. The letter is friendly if somewhat imperious in tone ('Dear Vale'). Buchan is glad that Vale's 'railway books are going on well' ands hopes that Vale will be successful in getting his collection of stories published (but evidently not by Nelson). Buchan likes the projected title 'Tapestry Tales' but declines to provide an introduction: 'it would do no good to the book and I really have not a moment to spare'. John Buchan (1875-1940), polymath, writer, statesman and businessman. Suffice it to say that letters signed by him are scarce. Henry Edmund Theodoric Vale ('Edmund Vale'; 1888-1969) was a prolific…

Description:
1957. Single sheet, 8vo., a near fine copy. Signed simply 'Tedder' in the writer's usual manner, the letter is written to Geoffrey Moore, founder of the Buccaneers Cricket Club, and demonstrates the airman's keen and continuing interest in the sport. Tedder was President of Surrey County Cricket Club from 1953 to 1958. The letter regretfully declines Moore's invitation to attend the Buccaneer's annual dinner (held at Lords). Marshal of the RAF Arthur William Tedder, 1st Baron Tedder (1890-1967) was one of Britain's most distinguished air commanders. Educated at Whitgift School and Magdalene College, Cambridge, he transferred from the Dorsetshire Regiment to the Royal Flying Corps in 1916, serving in France from 1915- to 1917 and in Egypt from 1918 to 1919. He was then commissioned in to the (new) Royal Air Force where was appointed Director of Training from 1934 to 1936, after which he became Commander RAF Far Eastern Forces. During WWII he was head of RAF Middle East…

Description:
1949. Single sheet, a near fine copy. Signed simply 'Wavell' in the writer's usual manner, the letter is written to Geoffrey Moore, founder of the Buccaneers Cricket Club, and demonstrates the soldier's keen and continuing interest in the sport. It is noteworthy that Wavell was particularly proud of his membership of the MCC at Lords. The letter declines Moore's invitation to attend the annual dinner, but carries Wavell's best wishes for the Club for the coming year during which he hopes to see tham in action. Field-Marshal Earl Wavell (1883-1950) was one of the twentieth century's most distinguished soldiers. Following considerable success against the Italians in North Africa, his career reached its peak with his appointment as Supreme Allied Commander, South West Pacific, ABDA (American, British, Dutch and Australian) Command in 1942 and subsequently as an outstanding Viceroy and Governor General of India from 1943-1947. He was recognised also as a scholar, compiling the…
