Letter from Hilary Douglas Pepler to Emery Walker dated 25th July 1914 concerning the loan of a book (found in a copy of “A Royal Warren or Picturesque Rambles in the Isle of Purbeck” by Charles Robinson) XIV HAMMERSMITH TERRACE, LONDON, W 25. VII.14 Dear Emery Walker. Thank you so much for lending me this book, even though it makes us so dissatisfied with the “progress” of 50 years. It is still a beautiful coast & much of it is unspoilt even though Hammersmith inhabitants go [& reside] there! Sincerely yours Douglas Pepler[i] [Footnote: [i]Harry or Hilary Douglas Clark Pepler (1878 – 1951) was a printer, writer and poet. He founded the St Dominic’s Press, first known as the Ditchling Press, in 1913, having been heavily influenced by the Kelmscott Press. CAW]
