Russell-Cotes's two letters both on letterheads of East Cliff Hall, Bournemouth. 8 and 29 October 1917. The other items undated.

The five items aged and worn, with slight rust staining from previous attachment. Both of RC's letters signed 'Merton Russell:Coates -'. TLS (8 October 1917): 1p., 4to. A rather sniffy letter, with RC stating that he has 'quite a number of photographs of Sir Henry Irving of various kinds', and instructing Mrs Rothsay to 'please take the frame off as I would rather have it unframed'. ALS (29 October 1917): 2pp., 4to.
