Notebook recording financial affairs, 1919-1938 (date approximate)
Scope and Contents
Notebook used by Sassoon to record his incoming and outgoing finances. It appears to have been used sporadically and includes lists of dividends, expenditure (headings include 'Expenditure: Self. 1922' and 'Keep of horses'), and income (headings include 'Money for Poetry', and 'Sales of Books'). Sassoon also lists money given to friends, with columns headed 'G.A.' [Gabriel Atkin] (folio /4v) and 'G's Allowance' (folio /10v), and a note on a payment made to Robert Graves to enable him to move to Egypt (folio /12r). The notebook also includes: - acquaintances' contact details: /inside front and back cover, /1, /21. - a list of poems printed, with date and place of publication, 1919-1925: /19v-20r. NB. After folio /113 entries continue from the opposite end of the notebook. The foliation is the archivist's.
