Descripción del artículo del vendedor

The 21 letters cover the period 1737-1765, there are also 9 other related documents inc. a 1763 plan of land in Silkland, 'My Father's Release' (1727), and a breakdown of the £5000 purchase money of Frithelstock Manor (c.1765). Richard Stevens was High Sheriff of Devon in 1737, and an M.P. in the 1760s, the letters are full of interesting side-lights of this wealthy, landed member of the gentry and of his circle.

July 29th, 1737 " Mr Chichester of Arlington has got a very good deer near his house . & has desired my dogs to assist him . ." May 19th, 1739 " As we are struggling for Liberty at Plymouth against the Artifices and threats of the Minister and the Admiralty ." May 25th, 1739 " I forbore writing since in hopes to have assu'd you the Distemper has made no progress beyond the Custom House."
