So there!!!!! If I get the counting wrong then my Aimée must apply a touch of the salt out of her loveliest glass things, et V’la! Robin’s himself again. You are rather dears, aren’t you? I’m not much of a judge, no experience of life & luv & things that count. But I’m scrattin’ along towards the lost dog’s home as merry as a grig, whatever a grig is. I believe Erb is coming here to tea. If so he can bring this to you and so miss the suffraggetteeesssese-don’t know how to spell ‘em. All Fleet St. is in a state of fever about them. We have notices to come down to the office for orders tomorrow as a great raid of the ‘Ladies’ is expected at all newspaper offices tomorrow or Xmas Day. Sweet dears, aren’t they! The pleasure they give to thousands of poor devils by robbing them of Xmas presents is incalculable, I don’t fink! Goodbye my dear. May the blessings&c, (vide supra!). The most hearty thanksto you & Gorbless you for a good’un, & him for second best!...”, 1 side folio with original autograph envelope, 33 Oakley Street, Chelsea, 23rd December no year,

LEHMANN
(John Frederick, 1907-1987, English Poet and Man of Letters)
Autograph Letter Signed to Mr Hamilton
saying that he has “only just got back fro abroad (last night), so I hope you will excuse me for not answering your letter before. I did have a word... with Dr Klopstock before I left, and he promised to ring me to arrange a meeting this month. Meanwhile, of course, no agreement about the last seven years of ‘The London Magazine’ is valid without my signature. As for the Cheltenham Festival, I am honoured that you should invite me. Dates are, however, important. I have to go abroad for a short trip - Venice/Vienna - between September 15th and October 11th, so an exact commitment is essential. If you can now say definitely that it will be October 4th I think I can come...”, 2 sides 4to., 85 Cornwall Gardens headed paper, 12th July
