4pp., 12mo. Bifolium. Good, on lightly-aged paper. The manuscript of Doxey's article is 'safe to hand' and Jewitt is 'much pleased [both words underlined twice] with the plates & coins. It is very nice indeed.' The article is too late for the next number, 'the difficulty being the engravings'. 'If you dont mind I think I should like to give your article the "place of honour" - ie the opening article - in the following number'. He would have written back sooner, 'but the truth is Mrs Jewitt and Beatrice have been away for a month, and they came home on Monday and so have driven off all remembrance of my having to write!!'.

2pp., 12mo. In good condition, lightly aged. He writes that he is 'much obliged, and gratified, by the expression of approval of my "Half Hours" in your kind note received this day', for which he thanks him.

Three of the letters (15-sides 1875-1881) are addressed to "Dr. Brushfield" [Thomas Nadauld Brushfield (1828-1910), Alienist and antiquarian. The other 9 letters are addressed to another member of the Brushfield family. His letter of 27th September 1875 thanks him for sending a copy of the "Metropolitan, with the portrait of your father.To me there is a somewhat coarse, common, and low look (if I may so express myself) re the portrait." and continues at length as to how a better portrait may be produced or even a parian bust - "I have just arranged . to do a bust of my dear old friend S.C.Hall, whose name you will know" and continues that he is preparing a memoir of Brushfield's father for the next number of the 'Reliquary'His letter of 30th January 1876 to Dr. Brushfield expresses great alarm on reading of his narrow escape from "the attack made upon you". That of 28th September 1881 refers to a book on Gloucestershire, his own 'Half Hours among English Antiquities' and sings the praises of Devonshire, congratulating him upon his retirement to Budleigh SaltertonThe remaining 9 letters (45-sides, 1865-1881) are perhaps to Brushfield's brother and concern heraldry, various books, family matters and that he is "grieved but not surprised at what you tell me regarding the Reverend delinquent. It is grievous to see a minister of religion so forget himself" and much else on the subject.
