(Typed letter indicating that Sinclair has received letters from Gipson and Professor Tomlinson who took a trip with Sinclair on the Serengetti Plains. Sinclair says he will send a manuscript to Gipson regarding Beamish which may be of interest to Gipson regarding matters of the British empire.) Scanned 1931 May 29 from P.J. Sinclair (Moshi) to Gipson (Lehigh Univ.) (three page typed letter relates Sinclair\u27s point of view regarding the troubles in East Africa and acknowledge Gipson\u27s interest in the crisis.

Sinclair (Moshi) to Gipson (typed letter acknowledges letter of September 15 remarking on the situation in England exceeding expectations referring to Beamish\u27s forecasting a crash. East Africa\u27s affairs are in the background but the efforts made seem to have good effect. Sinclair reports that Adm. Beamish is retiring and hope is that H.H. Beamish be nominated to replace him. Sinclair refers to "the old Manuscript" and its author – most of what Sinclair knows about it is from his grandmother.) Scanned 1932 April 11 from P.J. Sinclair (Moshi) to Gipson (handwritten letter "In view of events in England I did not send the papers relating to Beamish and De la Mothe as I first intended and I hope for some culminative event to round them off, when you would then have had a full perspective view point which would have enabled you to judge of the matter as a whole. However the papers I now send will hold some interest for you I think as they are by no means dry in themselves but hold the interest in a way which is only possible when dealing with the personal element. Your "Studies in Colonial Connecticut Taxation," is intensely interesting and somewhat parallels our case in degree, and I could not stop until I had read every word of it. Thank you very much for sending it I greatly appreciate it.\u27) Scanned (Unrelated handwritten jottings but dates mentioned are interesting "Excise 1785-1786, Phila. 1786 on brown folded paper possibly in Gipson\u27s handwriting) 1932 April 11 from P.J.

'The ceasing from the sorrow of divided life: may Sinclair’s women, texts and contexts (1910-1923)
No full textThis thesis explores May Sinclair's female protagonists in her Modernist texts, 1910-1923. 1 look at how Sinclair's work bears witness to her scene of writing and offer an analysis that places Sinclair, most centrally, in a dialogue with contemporary literary, psychoanalytical, and cultural influences.1 draw upon a wealth of unpublished material, medical archives and journals, newspapers, propaganda, novels of fellow female writers, and other artefacts of the day.
