SYDNEY MORGAN
The author apologizes for not being able to meet someone as they passed through her

as she has already made dining arrangements for that afternoon.
Autograph letter signed: "Sydney Morgan", 4x5and1/2. June 3, 1849. In part: "…I should
be so sorry you left town without my seeing you! Could you not take her with me
tomorrow [illegible] as early as you please - I am unfortunately [illegible] to dine at two
oclock!". Ango-Irish novelist Sydney Morgan (1781-1859) took London by storm with
The Wild Irish Girl (1806), a paean of praise to Ireland. She became the companion of the
Marquess of Abercorn, who in 1812 arranged her marriage to a surgeon, Sir Thomas
Charles Morgan. As a married woman she continued to produce verses, essays and
novels, including O'Donnel (1814) - considered her best novel - and France (1817), a breezy,
journalistic survey of French society and politics which drew criticism for its praise of the French
revolution. Paper clipping affixed to right margin. Pencil notes (unknown hand). Some areas of
letter slightly smeared, but clearly legible. Multiple folds. Light surface creases. Toned. Stain at
top left margin of front. Otherwise, fine condition.
