The two items in fair condition, on aged and worn paper. ONE: To 'C. Lavers Smith, Esq'. 21 April 1903. 2pp., landscape 8vo. He asks 'whether prints are to be had of Nell Gwynne's reputed birthplace at Hereford'. He made enquiries about the house in Hereford on the previous Saturday. 'It was pulled down in 1861; but in 1858 two photographs of it were taken, and I found an old photographer who had negatives which he promised to lend to me for a small consideration. I was pleased to get them.' As Lavers-Smith knows 'a great deal more' about the subject, he will be pleased to hear whether he has 'seen any old prints of the house. The Hereford people are firmly convinced that Nell was born in their city. They have put up a tablet in the wall behind which the house stood, & they have turned the name of the street from Water Lane into Gwynne Street.' In a postscript he thanks him 'for the admirable review of Grammont'. TWO: To 'H. Lavers-Smith, Esq. | Woodstock, Ditton Hill, Surbiton'. 4 May 1903. 1p., landscape 8vo. He thanks him for his letter, and hopes that 'Mr. Brick will allow me to make a block from his photograph of the house in Drury Lane.' He continues: 'Mr. Goodwin is emphatic on the subject of Nell Gwynne's birthplace. He insists that she was born at Oxford & had nothing to do with the Hereford house. Still the Hereford house was a picturesque old place and I intend to give illustrations of it.' He ends by thanking him for a reference to 'Notes & Queries'.
