From the papers of Philip Dosse, proprietor of Hansom Books, publisher of a stable of seven arts magazines including Books and Bookmen and Plays and Players. See 'Death of a Bookman' by the novelist Sally Emerson (editor of 'Books and Bookmen' at the time of Dosse's suicide), in Standpoint magazine, October 2018; and Michael Barber, 'What was Books and Bookmen?', Literary Review blog, 18 August 2023. Both items in good condition, lightly aged. Both folded once for postage. Both 1p, 12mo. ONE (1 October 1974): It was 'nice' of Dosse to write, but he 'needn't have given it a second thought'. Galbraith 'wouldn't have noticed the omission, and I doubt that The Times would either'. He will be sending 'the Auchinloss review' in the next few days. 'I think you will like it.' TWO (5 February 1975, 'dictated in Switzerland'): He thanks him for his letter and 'for sending the check for L40. This arrangement is just fine'.
