Autograph Letter Signed and Typed Letter Signed to Wilson Clayton.

LETTER ONE (manuscript): Two pages, 12mo. Good on aged paper with a little light foxing. Is 'glad of the opportunity' to tell Clayton 'how highly appreciated on the Committee was the assistance you gave it, your assiduity & attention, your fairness, & your practical wisdom. Besides your kindliness & unvarying good temper were an invaluable element. For myself personally I feel I have made a new friend; wh. in old age is not so easy, & therefore is all the more agreeable.' Signed 'Arthur L Smith'. LETTER TWO (typed): three pages, octavo. Good, though slightly dogeared. The first two leaves would appear to be a cyclostyled circular, '[o]n the completion of our two years' sittings of the Government Committee on Adult Education, on the issue of our fourth and final report, and on the occasion of the Prime Minister's letter of thanks'. The last leaf, signed 'A. L. Smith' again thanks Clayton for his 'presence', 'good counsels' and 'cheery good humour'.
