MENUHIN
(Sir Yehudi, 1916-1999, American Violinist and Conductor, 1st Baron)
Fine Typed Letter Signed ‘Yehudi’ to Dr Camille Honig
saying that “no one can possibly take exception to the founding of a Martin Buber Society, but it is quite unrealistic to organise the kind of function you have in mind for the 23rd September: these things simply cannot happen that way. Everyone is already committed... for myself I am up to my eyes and ears in the Commonwealth Arts Festival... Incidentally in the clipping from Time magazine about Buber it is not quite correct to say that he was ‘Judaism’s first ecumenist, who revered Jesus as much as a Jew might’, for actually Constantin Brunner preceded him with his book Unser Christus...”, 1 side 4to., Upper Frognal Lodge, Hampstead, 27th October

CHAMBERLAIN’S RECEPTION IN NATAL WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL
MILNER
(Alfred, 1854-1925, K.G., High Commissioner for South Africa and Colonial Secretary, 1st Viscount)
Second Page of a Typed letter signed to an unnamed correspondent,
saying that he does “not think its ‘hanging up’ for a month or two, till it can be considered on its merits and apart from the heat and false issues which are inevitably introduced when it is made the fighting ground of party, will do any harm. Let me congratulate you on the very successful reception accorded to Mr Chamberlain in Natal, which has made the most favourable impression upon him, and will, I think, exercise a good effect on our political condition generally...”, 1 side A4, no place, no date, circa
