WYLLIE, William  (1851 – 1931); Harold WYLLIE (1892-1973). 2 ALS addressed to Admiral Hopwood, discussing various illustrations and details for "Our Fathers" and discussions on "The Laws of the Navy". William Wyllie ALS, 4to. 1pp.  dated 3rd December 1913 to Captain Ronald A. Hopwood, thanks him for his letter and 'the copy of those splendid "Laws of the Navy" which I have known and loved for some years", then recommending the publisher R. Dunthorne, wishing he had known who it was sitting by him at the Trafalgar dinner and " I will send you the sketches for "Our Fathers" before I scratch them on the copper and perhaps you may be able to make some suggestions. Where could I get a sketch of a crew working as seaplane gun? The second ALS (4to. 2pp.) is from Harold Wyllie (William Wyllie's son), asking Hopwood to make use of "Golden Hind" in "The Navy" or as he sees fit, "I have given up the idea of making an etching of her on the very dark sky would not I think be well represented in line. Your idea that a large picture of her should go tho the RA is a very good one, and I hope to carry it out someday..." saying that he will send a proof, signed, as soon as the plate has been steel faced and thanking him for his inspiration. With: an initial proof etching of the Golden Hind, inscribed by Wyllie to the lower margin in pencil.
