Although there is no heading or full signature, the account originates from ARW’s London publisher Swan Sonnenschein & Co. Ltd., founded in 1878 by William Swan Sonnenschein (1855-1931) a son of Adolphus Sonnenschein, a teacher and writer originally from Moravia, and his first wife Sarah Robinson Stallybrass. In the light of the hostility to Germans during the First World War William Swan Sonnenschein changed his surname to Stallybrass for the remainder of his life, as did some of his family. The author is likely to be F. R. Stallybrass (see WCP5163 in the same hand), presumably a relative of the founder of the publishing house.
