MILNER ON CONSCRIPTION IN THE FIRST WORLD WAR
MILNER
(Alfred, 1854-1925, K.G., High Commissioner for South Africa and Colonial Secretary, 1st Viscount)
Typed letter signed to Mrs Malleson
agreeing with her that "the solution of the recruiting problem adopted by the Government in their half measure, which is no solution but will only lead to further delay, is much to be regretted. We have now got so far on the road to general compulsion that it remains incomprehensible to me, why we cannot go the whole way and have the thing put once for all on a fair and intelligible basis. However,I have said this over and over again and so far have not succeeded. We have got several steps nearer general compulsion and probably we shall ultimately get the whole of it by bits. That it should have taken so long, and be done in a manner so half-hearted and so thoroughly unsatisfactory, is of course deplorable ...", 1 side 4to., 17 Great College Street, 26th April

Fine Autograph Letter signed 'Vita Nicolson' to Mr Darton

I sent him to see a cousin of mine, who is now on the 'New Statesman', and he was enormously taken with him, and will I think do what he can to help him. I was sorry to hear you had been ill, and hope you may be sufficiently recovered to pay your visit to Sevenoaks before long - I am away from home for a week , but shall be there for the rest of the summer ...", with a pencilled autograph note the "The 'Young Man' is a New Zealand poet named Cresswell whom I tried to help", 2 sides 8vo., Sherfield Court, Basingstoke, no date but circa
