Transcript

Brookside, Bolton Avenue, Windsor
15. June '43.

Dear Sir,

In going through the books of my late Father's library recently {1} and coming across the enclosed, I thought some parts of this collection might be of interest to you. Should this be so, would you please keep the whole, taking from it any parts of special interest.

This collection was made by my Grandfather, who I believe was a Clerk in the College Kitchens in about the '60's or '70's of the last century. He lived all his working life in Cambridge, hence his local as well as College interest.

The signatures "Waldegrave" and "A. P. Humphrey" would have reference to Birley shooting; as the "author" was a member of the first English VIII to compete in an international; in Belgium. Other signatures will mostly be familiar to you.

Yours faithfully,
H. F. F. Coggin.

The Librarian, Trinity Coll., Cambridge.

A pencil note in capitals at the top of the first page reads 'This old paper contains the first speech ever delivered by Lord Macaulay'.

The photograph shows a small boy, probably in a studio setting, sitting on an ornate chair with a small open cardboard box beside him. The name of the publishers, ‘E Day & Son Bournemouth’, is written on the mount. Since the firm did not acquire this name till 1873, the boy cannot be Richard Appleton.
