Manuscript Document, in an early 17th century hand concerning the knighting of Sir Edward Wingfield. Folio (300 x 200 mm), one leaf with conjugate leaf. A little dusty and frayed around edges, blank lower portion of conjugate leaf torn, very good. A 1621 manuscript certificate concerning the knighting of Sir Edward Wingfield, that links the greatest scholar of the age, William Camden (the so-called father of English history, and the author of Britannia) with the greatest collector of the age, Sir Robert Cotton, whose famous Cottonian Library became one of the three founding collections of the British Library. A manuscript document in ink that is a transcript of a certificate requested by Lady Wingfield to attest to the authenticity of Sir Edward Wingfield’s knighthood, purportedly conferred at the Coronation of King James. Sir Robert Cotton was asked to “deliver his opinion,” whereupon Cotton testified to the officials at the college of arms that Sir Edward had indeed been knighted at that time. The transcript makes clear that no fewer than eleven officers of the college then signed to confirm that “upon [the] Testification of Sr. Robt Cottons and the Ladie [Wingfield] wee make this Certificate . . . ye last dauie of January 1621.” Among the eleven who signed were William Segar, Garter king-of-arms; and Augustine Vincent, Rouge Croix pursuivant; and the emi­ nent scholar William Camden in his capacity as Clarenceux king-of-arms. Since the Wingfields were important patrons of Cotton’s, and Camden and Cotton were the closest of friends, it is unsurprising that Cotton was keen to vouch for the knighting of Sir Edward, and that Camden was keen to back up Cotton’s testimony. It appears that no mention of this transcript, or any other documentation of the activities and connections it delineates, is present in any of the standard biographical accounts of Cotton or Camden, and that this help which Cotton provided the family of his patrons seems to have gone hitherto unnoticed.

23 Ernest HEMINGWAY. Men Without Women. New York: Charles Scribner’s Sons 1927. First edition, first issue, weighing 15.5 ounces.

Hemingway’s second collection of stories to appear in the U.S., and the book which confirmed his status as a master of the short story, with such classics as “The Killers,” “Fifty Grand,” and “Hills Like White Elephants.”

43 Carson McCULLERS. The Ballad of the Sad Cafe. Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company 1951. First edition. Two tears at the crown, small stains on the front board, a near very good copy, with tattered remnants of the dustwrapper laid in. Inscribed by the author: “Darling Kip and Jerry with love and XX from Carson.” The recipients were Clifford Milton and Julian Hayes, good friends of Edwin Peacock and his companion John Ziegler. Peacock was one of McCuller’s closest friends, he introduced her to her hus­ band Reeves, and was the basis for the main character in The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter. Accompanied by seven original snapshots of McCullers taken on the beach at Sullivan’s Island, South Carolina. The pictures are approximately 3½" x 4½" and show McCullers with various others includ­ ing her husband Reeves, Edwin Peacock, John Ziegler, and some other men, presumably including Milton and Hayes. Hayes was interviewed at length in the book Peninsula of Lies by Edward Ball, as was Ziegler, and Hayes and Milton are described as the first couple in Charleston to live an openly gay lifestyle. In the book Hayes admits to an affair with the scandalous transsexual Gordon Langley Hall (later Dawn Langley Simmons) who claimed that McCullers was the only one to notice his (later her) true sexuality. One of the photos included here, of Carson and Reeves McCullers, is used on page 342 of the Virginia Spencer Carr biogra­ phy The Lonely Hunter: A Biography of Carson McCullers and is credited to Edwin Peacock.

96 John W. CAMPBELL, Jr. Three Page Typed Letter Signed to John R. Pierce, “the father of the communications satellite.” Three pages on Campbell’s Mountainside, New Jersey stationery, dated 8 January 1957. Signed “John.” Lightly folded as mailed, else fine. A fascinating and truly remarkable letter, of approximately 1400 words, with a significant and detailed discussion of rocketry, the possibilities of space travel, and United States scientific research. He discusses the Vanguard rocket, Sputnik, hydrogen bombs, Savannah River, math, Russian superiority in practical rocket constructions, and more. Near the conclusion, Campbell rails against the U.S. scientific establishment: “‘Basic Science’ John, has oversold itself. We don’t need more scientists; we need fewer. Scientist don’t need more respect; we’d be better off if scientists had less respect. What we do need is greater respect for the ingenious inventor --- the unpredictable, undependable, unscientific, but remark­ ably effective innovator.” The recipient, John R. Pierce, was a physicist and prolific inventor who was Director of Research at Bell Laboratories. He was frequently referred to as “the father of the communications satellite,” leading the team that developed the Telstar satellite, the first active communications satellite to relay phone and television traffic, and which delivered the first live television signals between the U.S. and Europe. He was also an accomplished musician, a pioneer in digital music, and recorded some of the first synthesized music. However, Pierce is probably best known as the man who coined the word “transistor.” Under the name J.J. Coupling, he wrote both real science and science-fiction stories for Astounding Science Fiction, a magazine edited by Campbell. Campbell was a physicist, but is better known as one of the most influential editors of, and practitioners of science-fiction. Isaac Asimov called him “the most powerful force in science fiction ever.” As a writer he is most famous for his classic science-fiction story “Who Goes There?” about a shape-shifting alien that invades an Antarctic sta­ tion, and which was filmed twice as The Thing. A great letter. Between the Covers ~16~ Science-Fiction
