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.

{1} The writer's father was the Rev. Henry Thomas John Coggin (1851-1942).

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 meeting of the Anti-Slavery Society is reported to have been held the previous day, 25 Jun. 1824, at the Freemason's Tavern, Great Queen Street, with HRH the Duke of Gloucester in the chair. The text of a speech by 'Mr. J. Macaulay' is given in full; an MS note at the top of the third page [in G. M. Trevelyan's hand?], states that 'J. Macaulay = T. B. Macaulay, the future Lord Macaulay, aet. [aged] 24'.

Headed mourning notepaper, 75 Portland Place. - Sends the enclosed [E. W. Benson's Fellowship examination papers]; found them with papers belonging to her late husband, 'who had them from his uncle the Rev. Francis Martin'. Also feels she 'must tell' Benson how much pleasure she has from his writings; the latest, At Large, 'appeals to me as one of the most beautiful things I have ever read'.

Chelsea. - Originally enclosing a letter from Squire, describing the burning of the 'Cromwell letters'; comparatively little use now for FitzGerald to call on Squire, but Carlyle still wishes he would. Dawson Turner has already tried to see Squire's material, but without success.

Chelsea. - Is waiting for FitzGerald's news of William Squire. 'If he can lay his foolish old hands on those “Lists &c,” or any fraction, snip or remnant of that poor burned manuscript, I should like to have it instantly. I must endeavour to work up the distracted enigmatic Extracts he has given me into some printable condition, so soon as possible, lest they too by some new mischance be annihilated. If therefore he have anything whatever more, pray urge him to send it me without much delay'.
