Inhoud en structuur
Bereik en inhoud
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.

BABN/24: Papers of the Babington family of Rothley Temple: Letters from Colin Macaulay. The volume of Macaulay-Nichols letters was received by the Wren Library in the same year as the Babington family papers, and was initially catalogued with them. However, this decision obscured the fact that the two had different provenances, and it was decided (2022) to remove the volume of Macaulay-Nichols letters from the sequence of the Babington papers and give it its own reference in Add.MS.
