Mark Arnold Napier Stark letter to brother 29.4.1930: He is certainly a peculiar man - Dr Gordon, the psychologist, admits he is mad. And by all accounts he is a very difficult man to work for. His negligence about money matters, his forgetfulness of his work and bursts of bad temper, if they are not deliberate dishonesty, are as bad. The last manager says he was left without salary or money for wages for four months. I have insisted on my salary being paid in advance. Managers who get married seem particularly unlucky. Three out of the eight or nine have sent for their fiancées from home upon specious promises and encouragement from Luck, only to be thrown on the unemployment hill within a month or two of their arrival. In one case, I was told, as soon as Luck knew the bride was on the water he told his manager he would have to halve his salary. These are the stories I have heard. But, when Luck came to stay with me for a week he seemed the most honest, moral, generous and kind hearted of men, and we got on very well. We agreed very well on matters of farming and my terms. It was only when he mounted one of his hobbyhorses, and the conversation lapsed, as it constantly did, from concrete matters of farm management, to abstract questions of evolution, religion, civilization, morals and, of course, the bee in his bonnet, his pet study of native mentality, intelligence, religious observances and customs, that we differed violently. He’s a funny little man - an Anglo Swede, brought up in the latter country, whose foreign accent and mannerisms are always present in his rapid speech and nervous movements. Talk? He can’t stop it and there is no getting a remark in edgeways when he starts. He would pause for a few moments and I would start a remark - perhaps trying to drag the conversation back to the realms of reality - went off he would start again in the middle of my sentence, like a machine gun. It was very tiring. His peculiar high bald forehead and dreamy yet intense eyes bespeak the brain he undoubtedly has. But it has taken a wrong turning. He is one of those intensely conceited artistic men who try to pretend that they are not. He claims a lifelong experience of art, agriculture and business. But I think he has learnt them all in a night from books. Anyway, for all his unique skill and efficiency he has succeeded in losing about £50,000 since he came to this country, for which he blames the inefficiency of his managers - though I have heard from several sources that he has had some of the best men in the country, but that all they did or left undone was under his instructions and that they were never given a chance.
