Included in this category is a touching letter from one of Hooper's domestic staff, Mary Warren (3 pages small 8vo, dated January 1912), telling Tregaskis of the engraver's illness (which proved to be terminal). Also present are two Autograph Notes and one Autograph Post Card, all signed, from the engraver J.B. Swain. Written shortly after Hooper's death they give Tregaskis details of the deceased's estate. Ephemeral items include a short obituary cut from The Athenaeum and a small vellum leaf bearing Latin text and illuminated capital apparently in the late 16th century Italian style, although this cannot be authenticated, 1912
