All letters written from Bowood, Calne, Wiltshire. They concern a visit from Cockerell to Lansdowne, the early rental of the Lord of Lixnaw [Kerry] on which Lansdowne published a piece in the Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy, Aug. 1931, and the disposal of surplus copies of Lansdowne's Roxburghe Club book.
Also found with the book was a newscutting from the Daily Telegraph, 7 Jul. 1972, of an article by Robert Bedlow: 'Multi-hulls have chance to win Atlantic race'. Presumably saved by Piero Sraffa.
