China (1912), Peace (1912), India today (1913), England's arch-enemy, the Kaiser (1915?), and War letters (1916). He died
in Australia in 1922.
Scope and Contents
The majority of the correspondence is addressed to Oliver Bainbridge (there are a few letters not addressed to him and there
are only two letters written by Bainbridge). The authors of the correspondence are mostly British royalty, diplomats and administrators
in India and Australia, as well as American, British, Australian and Canadian clergy, writers and politicians. Issues addressed
within the correspondence include the life and career of Oliver Bainbridge and 20th century politics and government within
Great Britain, India, Canada, and Australia. Correspondents include Sir George Christopher Molesworth Birdwood, Sir Henry
Arthur Blake, Sir William Martin Conway, Sir Almeric William Fitz Roy, Sir Henry Knollys, Reginald Brabazon, the 12th Earl
of Meath, Olʹga Alekseevna Novikova, Sir George Houstoun Reid, Horatio Nelson Nelson, and Ellis Rowan. In the container list,
if the addressee is not Oliver Bainbridge, that is noted.
