Autograph letter signed: "Sydney Morgan", 4x5½. In full: "My dearest Clarissa, I have this moment discovered that my valuable gold watch + chain has been stolen off my toilette or out of my cabinet. I must have had the thief in this house - pray make hast + come to me. yrs sincer". 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. Left margin irregularly torn. Multiple folds. Toned. Pencils notes (unknown hand). Some areas of writing smeared. Light surface creases. Corners slightly worn. Otherwise, fine condition.
