Dawson Turner has added a note on the guard referring to Gunn’s previous letter, which was bound by mistake among the letters of 1822 (O.13.23, No. 7). The date of the other letter, however, is mistakenly given by him as 24 Jan. 1821; the day of the month should be the 14th.
Wenlock Abbey, Shropshire.
Identified, presumably by Kate Symons, as one of two photographs on same page: 'A. E. H aged 22 and his friend Moses Jackson'
First lines: 'Behold he cook'd a feast they could not eat / And they shall eat a feast he did not cook'. Appears in a scrapbook created by J. W. Clark, now in Cambridge University Library, as the work of W. J. Lawrance; said to be a parody of a poem by F.W.H. Myers which won the Chancellor’s English Medal at Cambridge in 1861.
