LADY BYRON CONCERNED FOR ESTATE OF WRITER ANNA BROWNELL JAMESON

BYRON, ANNE ISABELLA MILBANKE. Autograph Letter Signed, 'A.I. Noel Byron,' to "Dear Mrs. [Camilla] Sherwin," eagerly hoping to learn who is the executor of the estate [of Anna Brownell Jameson], explaining that she must know in order to respond to the news that someone intends to sell a collection of her letters. 1 page, 12mo, street address blindstamped at upper right; brittling and toning and chipping at all edges with minor loss to text, small hole at upper right (not affecting text), horizontal folds. [London], 31 March [1860]
"I am anxious to know whether Mr. S. Russell has accepted the Executorship. A communication has been made to me relative to a collection of Mrs. Jameson's letters in the hands of a person who wants to turn them to profit, & the course which ought to be taken will depend partly on the Gentleman who is to manage the business. I hope you are better."
