Morgan (Mary, daughter of Joseph Gibbs, organist of St. Mary's Tower, Ipswich, 1698-1788, married Rev. Caesar Morgan, Prebendary of Ely Cathedral and Rector of Stretham, 1749-1808) Autograph Letter signed to "Sir" to her publisher's, ?"R Edwards", 2pp. with conjugate blank, folio, Ely, 4th January 1795, referring to the production of her work, A Tour to Milford Haven in the Year 1791, "You cannot but suppose that I was greatly surprized at your account of my prints for on them I had set my heart", and her account of her visit to Mrs Montagu at Sandleford in Berkshire, "I would not for the value of the book have the letters erased that describe Sandleford... . When I wrote those I had not any intention of publishing them, & therefore they can have no reference to the prints, & I might as well destroy my whole book for it chiefly consists of descriptive accounts of the countries I passed through. The account of Sandleford stands exactly as it was first written, & so do many more of the letters particularly those to Mrs. Montagu... I cannot think of having more copies printed than 500", conjugate blank laid down on card, folds, slightly browned. ⁂ Publisher derived from Morgan's request in this to her publisher asking for a copy of A Tour through the South of England, Wales and part of Ireland, made during the summer of 179, by Edward Daniel Clarke (1769-1822), printed at the Minerva Press, for R. Edwards, MDCCXCIII [1793].
