Autograph Note initialled written by Hughes in the space above the beginning of another's letter to him (the reverse mentions a Mrs Morland, suggesting the correspondent is a Mr Morland), slightly grubby and signs of wear,c.6 x 1". An autograph collector has snipped the Hughes note off the letter (rest now lost) and stuck it in an album from which I have removed it. A date has been added in a different hand (1826) and the note runs as follows: "Be good enough to pay £5 for me to the Vaudois or Waldenses, at Hoare's [Bank]. They were the first germ of Protestantism. TH" [identified as Thomas Hughes beneath Note]. Presumably he was contributing to a fund for the persecuted. See Image.…

Both items in good condition, lightly aged. ONE: 3 March 1884. 1p, 12mo. Addressed to 'Dear Mr. Kynnersley'. Having received Kynnersley's undated letter he writes: 'I shall meet Blandford as you propose on the 11th. with very great pleasure. He was one of the heroes on whom I used to look with awe as a 3rd. form boy in 1834 in which year I joined & he I think left Rugby.' He is sitting at Congleton on the day of the meeting, and 'there is just a chance that some perverse suitor may be in full blast at my train time in which case (as I never leave a cause part heard) I may be late'. He ends by urging him not to wait, 'as we can sit into the short hours at the other end of the symposium if we are not talked out'. TWO: 30 November 1885. 2pp 12mo. Begins: 'Dear Kynnersley | Can you help me, or tell me how to help myself? We have taken as housemaid an excellent woman deserted by a rascal husband, who has left her with one child a boy of 10 to support. We can't keep her permanently unless this boy can leave school, & are quite ready to take him on at once & train him if he can be let come to us - He can read & write quite fairly, but having been moved from pillar to post since the escapade of his sire, is only in the 2nd. standard. If he has to stop till he is 13, or in the 4th standard, of course it will be out of the question & they must be thrown on the world again, but won't this do?' He continues with a proposal to take on the boy's schooling, 'as our youngest girl of 18 who has just left Holland's Ch. of England High School in Marylebone, where she was in whatever answers there to the sixth, is yearning for some pupil to perform upon, & is a thoroughly trustworthy young person'. He continues with plans for the boy's education, before asking: 'Have you jurisdiction, or to whom should I apply for the necessary leave?' He now gives a very clear exposition of his political views, in the light of the demise of the 'Three Acres and a Cow' land reform 'Radical Programme' of the MP for Birmingham Joseph Chamberlain (1836-1914): 'I don't know how you feel but I am not sorry that Chamberlain & Co. are getting a lesson. They were on the high road to attempt to undo all that we Cooperators have been laboriously building up amongst the working classes for these 30 years - self reliance, & abstention from state aid of all shapes, now that at last the Law allows them a perfectly fair field to work out their own well being - just as the proof of their power to do this is established, & they are ready to use their large accumulations in productive works, & investments in land for cooperative farming, come your unspeakable fellow townsmen (or are you not a Birmingham man?) preaching state aid, & ransom by the rich of their prosperity! But I begin to hope they are dished for my time.'.…

See his entry in the Oxford DNB. 1p, 12mo. In good condition, lightly aged and folded twice for postage. One corner very slightly cropped. Signed 'Tho. Hughes'. In response to a request for an autograph he writes: 'My dear Madam / I have only just returned to town where I find your note, with the request contained in which I have much pleasure in complying & sending you my signature below, though it is not a good specimen as I have got hold of a rascally bad pen.' See Image.…

2pp, 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged. Folded twice. Clearly and firmly written. The letter would appear to concern an individual who is threatening to resign his membership of the Athenaeum Club, and ends with reference to proxy voting for new members. Hughes begins by reporting that he has 'already written to the good but peppery & impulsive Dr. of whom I am as fond as you are'. He cannot 'make out quite what his intentions are but fear it is not at all off the cards that we may lose him this time (though I believe it is by no means the first time that he has made a similar effort)'. Hughes will 'certainly lubricate him & his gallery on Friday', and will do anything else Bricknell suggests, as he would 'very heartily regret losing him'. He concludes with reference to 'the proxies', considering that there is no 'danger of defeat at this time'.…

Three pages, 4to, but cross-written, making six pages of writing, sometimes hard to read, small piece of letter with a few words detached but present. Mrs Hughes is her usual informative, authoritative, lively and intelligent self, initially discussing the British disaster at Buenos Ayres. being unable to think of "a worse planned or more ill-fated expedition" in which the dead were "sacrificed". She attacks the commander, the Duke of York, in no uncertain terms: she hopes it's not a crime to wish him out of a world to which he he'd done so little good. She then attacks in greater detail and with even greater moral outrage the attack on the civilian population of Copenhagen [Second Battle of Copenhagen, 2000 killed during a British bombardment]. She hopes that an Enquiry will put the blame on Napoleon's shoulders, but appears to doubt it. "The honour & reputation of a mighty nation is at stake . . . to be sure war is in every point hostile to the spirit of Chistianity." She then expresses her hostility to the Grenvilles (politicians), adding that "personally I dislike Lord G[renville; former Prime Minister] on account of his desertion of Mr. Pitt" (the "first of men"). She then moves on to more personal matters.…

See his entry in the Oxford DNB. In good condition, lightly aged. On first leaf of a bifolium of wove paper. Folded for postage. Signed 'Tho. Hughes'. Begins: 'My dear Ponsonby / Let me introduce the bearer, Mr. Selway, [i.e. William Robbins Selway (c.1822-1893) of Walworth] who was vice Chairman of my Committee in Lambeth, & is one of the most influential & trustworthy men in the South of London'. Selway wishes to see Ponsonby 'about a building in the Surrey Gardens which certain persons are proposing to convert into a Theatre'. He ends by endorsing Selway: 'You can't get better counsel on the subject'.…
