Correspondence to Morley Roberts, 1902-1936.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/631836109

Several of Cunninghame Graham's letters to Roberts in 1922 concern W. H. Hudson, their mutual friend, following Hudson's death, including references to and quotations from letters that Cunninghame Graham had from Hudson. In January 1923 there is mention of items sent by Hudson's executor, which Cunninghame Graham was sending to Roberts. Later references to Hudson (May and September 1935) concern Cunninghame Graham's correspondence with Dr. Fernando Pozzo, of Quilmes, in the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina, who was a friend and admirer of Hudson (see correspondence file for Pozzo, Folder 110). Also related to Hudson is the last item, a letter dated 23 February, presumably from 1936, dictated by Cunninghame Graham while he was visiting the former house of Hudson in Quilmes, with the escort of Dr. Pozzo; in pencil on the verso is a note in Roberts's hand indicating that Cunninghame Graham died on 20 March. (This item was removed from Roberts's personal copy of his book W. H. Hudson; see Box 8.) A letter of 29 August 1933 concerns Henry Hyde Champion, who was also a friend of Roberts. Several letters in spring to summer 1933 allude to a sketch Roberts was writing that portrayed Cunninghame Graham. Of letters written from places other than Scotland or England: one in 1928 is from Gropesa, Spain; one in March 1932 from Morocco; and 2 in 1934 from Ceylon. Cunninghame Graham occasionally refers to his own writing as well as to Roberts's books.

W.H. Hudson, author and naturalist, was born in Argentina of American parents. While growing up in Argentina, he developed a passion for the wildlife of the Pampas, particularly its birds. He eventually became disillusioned by the effect on the Pampas's ecosystem caused by large-scale immigration of bird-eating Italians. He moved to England, but was unsuccessful in obtaining employment as a naturalist, although he did contribute a number of articles to various periodicals. He wrote short stories...
