Scope and Content

Autograph letter, 4 January 1795, from Mary Morgan, Ely, to her publisher, [John] Stockdale, Piccadilly, concerning the forthcoming publication of her book, A Tour to Milford Haven in the Year 1791 (London: John Stockdale, 1795, ESTC T99699). Morgan expresses her disappointment at the intention to omit two hoped for engravings of the Sandleford estate and 'St Govin's Rocks' [St Govan's Head], while insisting on the inclusion of the letters relating to those places, and suggests limiting the print run to five hundred copies (ff. 33-recto-verso).
The address ('Mr Stockdale / Piccadilly / London') is on the conjugate leaf, f. 34 verso.
