| Description | INTRODUCTION
The contents of this file were formerly in a portfolio (142) entitled—
cA8 / General / Correspondance
V to Z / 1787 to 1818.
Under Matthew Robinson Boulton’s scheme of arrangement, the file was placed in Box M. III.
The documents are arranged in five chronological sequences, as follows—
Letters, U & V. (1-31)
Letters, W. (32-101)
Letters, Y. (102-104)
Copies, V. (105-117)
Copies, W. (118-141)
Each series of Copies would have been contained in a yellow paper wrapper, but none survive. (See, however, the letter to Wedgwood, 5 Nov. 1794.)
In the following List the copy documents are press-copies, unless stated otherwise; the summaries in quotation-marks are taken from the contemporary dockets. |
