Overview and metadata sections
Sydney Ansell Gimson followed his father into the family engineering firm and became president of the Leicester Secular Society in 1883. He was the brother of Ernest Gimson (1864-1919), a noted English architect and furniture maker.
The collection consists of 44 letters received by Sydney A. Gimson, elder brother of Ernest Gimson (1864-1919), the furniture designer and architect. Included are letters by William Morris, his daughter May Morris, Eden Philpotts, Sydney Olivier, and Henry Bentinck. Many of the letters discuss lectures and meetings of the Fabian Society, a socialist group founded in 1884.
