John Murray published six volumes of Byron letters and journals in 1898.
Written on stationery embossed "50, Albemarle Street, W."
Part of a large collection of letters to Joan Severn. Letters in this collection have been described individually in separate catalog records; see collection-level record for more information.
This collection was part of Helen Gill Viljoen's large bequest of John Ruskin-related material (formerly MA 3451).
Saying that the Byron letter that she owns is most likely a facsimile, as many copies were made of it; providing instructions on how to look at the paper through a magnifying glass to look for the "marks of the graving tool in the flourish of the signature, and you will probably also see the plate mark round the edge of the paper;" adding, "If I am mistaken and you have by some chance got the original, it would be of value as a Byron autograph, but the letter itself has often been printed and published."
