Farren's entry in the Oxford DNB concludes by describing him as 'a theatrical sophisticate, equally at home in period comedy and modern plays; he was, besides, one of the finest actors of his century'. From around 1821 Farren lived with the actress Mrs Faucit (Harriet Elizabeth Savill, née Diddear, 1789-1857), with whom he had two sons. An excellent item, casting vivid light on the Olympic Theatre of Madame Vestris and J. R. Planché in its late-Georgian heyday. In the second letter, to John [Smith], Farren discusses with great enthusiasm plans for staging a play by the recipient at the Olympic, declaring that he 'will not lose sight of it until it is triumphant!!' (The play would appear to have been titled 'The Sign Manual'. No information about it or the playwright have been discovered.) The two letters are on a single bifolium, and total 3pp, 4to. In fair condition, aged and worn, folded several times, with a number of closed tears to edges of folds. Addressed on reverse of second leaf, with postmark and broken seal in black wax, to 'G. Smith Esqr. | Theatre Yarmouth | Norfolk.' Farren's initials ('W. F.') are at bottom-right of address. The first letter, to 'Dear George', is a brief one, reading: 'I have this Morning received your Letter, and reply at once that I will act with you in Cambridge on Monday the 17th. For three Weeks ending on the Saturday the 23rd. If to the contrary let me hear from you. I returned early last Night from Bristol, where I have been playing the last Week. Southampton I purposed going to, but shall give it up. So much for you, with kind regards to your Father. After you have read this, put the remaining part of this Letter into your Brothers hands. Yours very truly | W. Farren'. The second letter is 41 lines long, covering the two central pages and concluding with a long postscript (again signed with initals) at the head of the first page. It begins: 'Dear John, | Mr. Planché knowing that I was expecting home last night visited me this morning to say he likes your Piece very much, [last two words both underlined twice] but to suit the Olympic you must make some alterations which are very easily done' the speaking Conspirators must be lessened in number, and he wishes the young Man & young Woman made Musical and Gen[era]l somebody, whose Name I forget, made a Bass Singer for a Finale. I think Planché's idea altogether excellent but as it would be impossible for you to easily comprehend what he means without your seeing him my advice to you is put yourself on the Top of the Yarmouth Coach and come up to Town, as soon as you can, and bring everything in the way of Dramatic Composition you have by you, with you. We have stomach for them all!! Planché speaks highly of your dramatic skill your Adelphi he says was murdered'. He returns to the 'present Work', reporting Planché's opinion that there is 'a little too much Melo Drama in the last Scene which he wants put into Musical Situation: [] a Song for the young Man by Mr. Manvers, a Song for the Girl by Miss Taylor [] and the Genl. A Bass for Bland'. He concludes in the same enthusiastic tone. The postscript begins: 'Remember I have recommended this Piece The Sign Manual and I will not lose sight of it until it is triumphant!!' He stresses that the plans for the finale are of 'great importance'. …

2pp, 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged. Corner of second leaf cut away on opening of letter, and still adhering to wafer. Folded twice. Addressed to 'W. Upcott, Esq.' Upcott has been 'so kind as to invite Mr Fields and me to spend an evening with you in going over some of your Literary treasures', and Rodd has 'an indistinct idea of some particular evening being named' by Upcott. In the hope that the present evening was not intended, he asks Upcott to send word of which evening will suit his convenience. In a long postscript Rodd expresses the hope that - should the present evening have been intended for the meeting - Upcott will excuse Rodd's forgetfulness, 'and impute it to the right cause the [having?] of one's thoughts in a Sale-room, added to which I had been travelling all the previous night'. Rodd was highly regarded for his knowledge and fair dealing. He issued several catalogues of Americana. 'Mr Field [sic]' was presumably James Thomas Fields (1817-1881) of the celebrated Boston firm Ticknor and Fields, who started in the trade at the age of fourteen, and whose name was 'Field' until later in life.…

Warren, the bishop of Bangor in northwest Wales, had appointed his nephew as registrar of the diocese. Since the nephew was underage, Samuel Grindley was appointed deputy registrar, but when the nephew attempted to replace him, he refused to leave his office. A fight broke out between Grindley and Warren with others joining the bishop's side. At one point, Grindley threatened Warren with a pistol, and the fight did not conclude until the bishop's wife intervened and dragged him away. Erskine was engaged for the defense and secured an acquittal despite the judge's summing-up in favor of conviction. The notes to the half-title and title page remark somewhat disparagingly on the case, describing Grindley as "a man of no principle." Williams [1763-1836] was a Welsh Anglican rector in Caernarfonshire.
