No Binding. Condición: Very Good. [British Empire - Australia and India] Archive of 24 letters, 1881-1883 (almost 80 manuscript pages), from the butler family, the first English settlers of South Australia in 1836. All are addressed to Henry Richard (Dick) Butler. 22 are by his brother Charles Philip Roe Butler and two letters are by his sister, Millicent Lecette Butler. Letters only, no covers. Most have stab holes. All creased at folds, two are quite delicate and have separations. Otherwise, the letters are generally in very good condition. See images. Charles Philip Roe Butler (1857-1883) was the eldest son of Philip Butler (1816-1898), one of the first settlers to arrive in South Australia in 1836 and by the mid nineteenth century, one of the wealthiest Australians. C.P.R.B. was born in Australia and was the first cousin of Sir Richard Butler (1850-1925), Australian politician and Premier of South Australia. His maternal grandfather was John Septimus Roe (1797-1878), politician, explorer, naval officer during the Napoleonic wars, a participant in the Pinjarra massacre and the first Surveyor-General of Western Australia. His second cousin, Richard Layton Butler (1885-1966) was twice Premier of South Australia. The letters are mostly sent from home in London or from the country estate, Tickford Abby. One is from India, Baithakhal Basti, another aboard ship returning home and one from Holland. C.P.R.B. died shortly after his return from India. His sister, Millicent describes in great detail the brief, but violent illness that killed Charles and a second letter by her describes his funeral. Charles died Tuesday morning, September 11, 1883, at home at Tickford Abby. He was 26 years old. It appears that his relationship with his father was formal, he refers to him as 'the governor' and he didn't seem too fond of the Chesshyre family, whom his father had married into after the death of his first wife. But Charles loved his half-siblings very much, especially his twin younger sisters. Charles Philip Roe Butler mentions lawn tennis, cricket, fishing, hunting, riding, the Royal Ascot, the stock market, dances and parties and lots of girls. Charlie, as his sister calls him, was a Cambridge educated man who enjoyed the theatre, oysters and Chablis. At age 25, at the behest of his father, C.P.R.B. was sent to India to work for Finlay, Muir & Co., a tea consortium based in Calcutta. While there, his best friend, Bill Winston committed suicide by shooting himself (Bill is mentioned in a number of letters). He complains about lost letters, saying "our postmaster, a damned Babu of course, is a thorough scoundrel." He uses Indo-Persian words such as shikar (hunting) when he hopes to hunt large deer or a tiger. He describes major floods in the summer of 1883 in India, "villages swept away & a famine set in". He sold his faithful dog when he left England for India and left his two "splendid" fox terriers in India upon his return home on the Ship Vega, Star Line via the Suez Canal. He tells his brother; he plans to return to Australia and will stop in America to see him if possible (Dick was apparently in Hallifax at that time. He also spent time in Bermuda and other places) and tells him that he was up to his old tricks on the ship back from India "had criminal intercourse with the only lady passenger, a lovely young widow". He asks his brother about his sex life, "Your women? I suppose one bangs negroes, if they were only like our coolies you would have been in like a knife long ago." Also, the excitement over the Phoenix Park Murders, blaming Charles Stewart Parnell, yet another, mentions the Anglo-Egyptian War and the might of the British Army. It appears that C.P.R.B. was in a military regiment for a time, as was his brother Dick, who died in Palmer Lake Colorado in 1914. A wonderful intimate collection of letters.
