A worthless gutter-press pirated reprint styled 'the unknown First – title-page reset for this hitherto supposed First' – price £18. I suppose it's worth 15/- or 21/- or so. For God's sake don't let the Friends buy it. They ever wrongly date the first, in order to make their lie look plausible..."), 19 April 1931; (v) autograph letter signed to the Argosy Book Stores, Inc. ("...I was amused by the note you append to 'Sordello'. You say 'Wise... had not the faintest suspicion that copies in cloth with a paper label existed'! If only you had looked into my 'Bibliography of Browning', pp. 6-7, you would have seen that so long ago as 1897 I described this particular 'remainder' in full... Even as late as 50 years ago I well remember a little pile of them on their book-stall at [Padd del] Padington (sic) Station marked at 1/6 a copy..."), 21 June 1931; (vi) autograph letter to [?Eric] Partridge. discussing the status of "Modern First" and of St Joan, 3 May 1935; (vii) postcard photograph showing Thomas J. and Louise Wise, he dressed in homburg and overcoat, standing by their Austen Six, sent by Louie to the Ganzes of Bexhill in 1935; with the retained draft of a letter by Charles Ganz (editor of A FitzGerald Medley of 1933) to "Dear Mr Wise, our gracious Friend", discussing a volume he has lent him ("...Am rather intrigued about the obliterated words on the fly-leaf. – there is the imprint of a pencil (?) – some means might be used to find out the words. – and then one... would known whether FitzGerald himself wrote them..."), Louie's card 30 June 1935
