Parte de Additional Manuscripts a

Scrapbook recording the life of a Trinity College student from 1899 to 1902, with programmes, menus, dance cards, college notices, club and society notices and memorabilia and other printed ephemera, as well as letters and photographs. Many items carry captions, though some people are identified only by their initials and many items are pasted down so that only their front cover is visible.

There is material relating to the Boat Club, Granta, the Pitt Club, the Trinity Foot Beagles, and the A.D.C., the Cambridge Old Haileyburian Club, and one or two items from the Nihilists Club, the Trinity Lawn Tennis Club, The Trinity Historical Society, and the Trinity Association Football club. There is also material from his summer holidays, with cards and notices from Newmarket, the Micklegate Ward Conservative Association and Club Cricket Match in August 1901, the Grasmere & Lake District Annual Athletic Sports Letters include those from Chancellor A. W. Ward regarding the selection of a play for the A.D.C. ("The Dean's Dilemma" by C. Tennyson and R. H. Malden), and two letters from R. C. Lehmann, Barry Pain, and Owen Seaman relating to Jones' work on Granta, and R. St. John Parry about the gift of a letter from Sir W. Gilbert to Trinity College Library (now catalogued as Add. MS c. 1/147). Menus include those for formal events and dances, as well as private dinners in Cambridge and at Trinity, and other diners are often recorded, A. A. Milne appearing as a fellow diner twice. Names of those friends who appear often in the scrapbook are: J. S. Agnew, J. W. Cropper, K. V. Elphinstone, J. G. Gordon, V. P. Powell, G. B. Wainwright, E. Wyatt-Davies, and J. R. Wharton.

Dear Bully,

Was it not an odd co-incidence? I had just finished that nice little letter to you when yours came yesterday. After deliberation, I decided that it should go, so that you might be the better able to gauge the revolution of feeling that took place in our ’earts on reading your scrummy (that’s Multy’s) invitation for next Saturday. I have not time to-day to enlarge upon the subject, but Multy has some good sketches which she is doing to enclose in this with a few joint appropriate remarks.

Likewise also is it an odd co-incidence that the day on which we are to have the honour of being presented to les nôtres, our two Mums & the Dad (that sounds rather naughty, & you so young too!) will be staying here & are hoping to see the author of the blouse. Don’t be alarmed they are good sort of folk and ripe for fun at any time.

Our factory girls were a great joke, they stayed from Saturday till Tuesday & thought iverry-think real ’ansim, strite they did. Was the blot that you made in describing your night in the boys’ camp done intentionally and were we to imagine it walking off the paper? Three more of Multys sketches represent what we imagine your feelings to have been on that occasion.

[There follow three pencil sketches of facial expressions, the first apparently asleep, captioned ‘In for the 9 hours’; the second apparently waking and yawning, captioned merely with a blot; and the third screwed up, captioned ‘—!’]

You will come then won’t you (to lunch if possible) next Saturday? though it be through hail, snow, ice thunder, lightning fire, water or sunshine & we will follow thee withersoever thou goest and eat and drink with thee.

Don’t get too legal or too mathematical or too economical, mais restez toujours l’incomparable Bully de nos amies

E. B.

[On a separate sheet are eight more sketches of facial expressions, captioned as follows:]
I July 26th No letter from Bully for a week!
II Aug: 2nd Still silence
III Aug: 7th A.M. Bully chucked!
IV Aug: 7th p.m. Letter!
V E. “My Mother will be here on the 14th!”
VI B. “My Mother will be here on the 14th too!”

My dear Gerald,

I have got your letter of Oct. 11 and am glad to hear of your doings, but the earlier letter which you speak of did not find its way to me. I expect it was eaten by a lion, as you may have been by this time.

If I remember right, you were here in May just before I went off to Venice to see my gondolier. I found him better than I expected, as hot weather suits him, and he is still alive, but he’s just gone into hospital with hemorrhage. I stayed there only a few days, and then spent a week or so in Paris. In July and August I was at my old home and other haunts of childhood in Worcestershire and Gloucestershire. At Woodchester, once my grandfather’s parish, there is a Roman pavement, the finest in England, which is uncovered and shown from time to time, and this year was one of those occasions: I spent a week in the place, which I should have enjoyed more if I had not been dragged in to make explanatory speeches to the visitors, owing to the lack of persons in the village who could do it. Then I made a short motoring tour in Derbyshire, to see the most picturesque spots.

I heard from your mother not long ago, but I need not tell you any of her news. I am glad that Africa is geologically a good continent, and I hope its Christmas weather is not too hot.

Your affectionate godfather
A. E. Housman.

19 June 1905.

My dear Clemence,

I enclose:—

A letter from Basil,
Kate’s letter to you,
Two letters from A. Parker to Laurence.

I will fall in with either Kate’s scheme or Basil’s, if the rest of you can agree on either. For my own part I should prefer to do as A. Parker suggests, and let things continue on as at present till Aunt Kate’s death or at anyrate till the £150 in hand is exhausted. When either of those events arrives, it is to be hoped and expected that we shall all be either dead or richer than now. But I will not oppose any solution which finds favour with the rest of you; and I can quite well pay either £93.15.0 or £125; only, as I have just spent £70 on my new book (a sum which the sale of the whole edition will not bring in), and may want to spend another similar sum before two years are out, and am contributing by instalments of £20 a special subscription of £100 to the College, and have indulged in the luxury of an assistant, who costs £50, and have been rather extravagant in the matter of foreign travel,—it would reduce my balance at the bankers below the comfortable margin which would enable me to flee to the continent at any moment with a year’s income in my pockets, or lend a hundred or two at a moment’s notice to a friend who might want it. I don’t know whether the way Basil proposes to dispose of your money has your sanction.

Your affectionate brother
A. E. Housman.
