1 volume containing forty three letters, mainly from Aulay Macaulay to John Nichols, but also including letters from Aulay's son John and his wife Anne (née Heyrick). What appear to be draft letters from John Nichols' son John Bowyer Nichols are also present. Most of the letters between the Macaulays and John Bowyer Nichols relate to the question of whether he should send his son (John Gough Nichols?) to Rugby.

The second letter in the book is signed by George M. Macaulay; though the writer was probably presumed to be a close relative of Aulay Macaulay, a probable candidate is George Mackenzie Macaulay (1750-1803), Lloyds underwriter and alderman, who was only a distant cousin.

Many crossings-through and other corrections. Text forming part of a letter seems to begin under the heavy line on the third sheet and continue to the sections above and below the address, though the biographical notes may well also have been written for Nichols. Postmarked 3 Aug 1814.
