[Joseph Schroder Moore [The Penny Post periodical?]] Five Autograph Letters Signed to J.T.J. Hewlett, author of "Peter Priggins" and other books.

Descripción

Joseph Schroder Moore, barrister (Post Office Directory 1846), brother to J.C. Moore ("The Letters of Thomas Hood", passim). Initially he is chasing up a manuscript promised by Hewlett. He then explains why the delivery of the manuscript was declined by his brother, suggesting that the proprietors of the Rejected's Magazine (see Francis Brown, #3130) would not have stopped its publication if his manuscript had come to hand. He describes the plan of these "proprietors" to establish a new weekly to be called "The Penny Post" (see BLC) of which he gives details, asking Hewlett for contributions at a temporarily lower rate. He hopes to have a chat with his brother on a matter raised by Hewlett when his brother is less busy. Originally from a larger archive, the residue of which is described in #3157 (Hewlett's papers), this and other items appear in my ABE inventory in book id#s 3124-3156. N° de ref. del artículo 3143
