SYDNEY MORGAN
A letter of thanks for a friends Easter gift, saying she will keep
the casket it was given in as well
Autograph letter signed: "Sydney Morgan", 3 pages (integral
leaf), 3½x5¼. In part: "I cannot express how much I feel the kindness
of your charming and tasteful Easter offering. I wish I had the means of an
adequate return! Since you permit me I will keep the casket as well as the
treasures!". 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. Small tear on top margin.
Multiple folds. Corners slightly worn and creased. Light surface creases. Badly
stained with ink marks across front and verso. Some areas of lettering
smeared.
