Two Autograph Letters Signed and first leaf of Autograph Letter; all three items to Sir Henry [Trueman Wood, Secretary, Royal Society of Arts].

Politician and director of Trueman, Hanbury, Buxton and Co. (1840-1924), whose entry in 'Who's who' describes his 'Recreations' as 'a keen follower of big game in four continents'. All three items 12mo and very good. The first two items on cream paper and bearing the Society's stamp; the last item on grey paper and docketed. First and last item signed 'E N Buxton'. ITEM ONE (two pages) addressed to 'Sir Trueman' [sic]: 'I have not forgotten that you asked me how my films stood the Climate & if I got any decent results in the Soudan'. Offers to show Wood 'a few' at the Athenaeum. ITEM TWO (one page only) addressed to 'Sir Henry': He is sending Wood 'the 3 negs I hope they are those you selected'. Asks Wood to get A1 slides made from them. 'I am at your service for the Photo &c any time after the ninth.' ITEM THREE (two pages) addressed to 'Sir Henry': If wood has been 'successful in getting satisfactory slides from the negs' Buxton would be 'so glad to try them against those I have'. Asks Wood to look at prints and see if any prints could be made 'in the way of slides'. 'Like many others they were taken in a failing light - the evening being the best time to make an approach - in fact the only time when it was possible with antelopes'.
