2 original autograph letters, the first signed `Rosebery’ and the second `R’. The first, written from Edinburgh, April 10, 1882, is about a meeting with a `deputation’. The second, a friendly, playful letter to `My dear Professor’, promises to name `any further Primrose children’ after Hans Primrose, the hero of a book sent him by the professor. `I also observe that a Gladstone was welcomed in Sweden about the same time. There must be good stuff in Sweden; and I say this not from vanity, as I observe that the line of Hans, as is almost invariably the case with great men, became immediately extinct!’

Millais writes to John Calcott Horsley, Treasurer of the Royal Academy, telling him he’ll be attending the AGM, and asking him “to find a place, good as per sun, for two landscapes by Cadogan” and a portrait by Vinter “which you can put up somewhere”. He also apologises that he probably won’t be able to make a forthcoming Council meeting because he has a clashing one “at the orphanage”

Autograph letter, signed. Brief letter on University of Sydney letterhead from Mungo William MacCallum (1854-1942) in turn Professor of Modern Literature, Vice Chancellor and Chancellor of the university. The letter is a note of thanks, dated 28 April 1906, to Senator Walker for his congratulations on an “honor conferred” on MacCallum by the university and on his son’s simultaneous success. The letter very likely refers to the award of a Rhodes Scholarship to Mungo Lorenz MacCallum (1884-1934). Senator Walker is almost certainly James Walker (1841-1923) who was elected to the first Senate of the Commonwealth of Australia in 1901 where he served until 1913
