Histoire archivistique
These items were purchased in 2019 from Richard Ford Ltd, dealers in books, printed ephemera, and manuscripts. There is no indication of the intervening provenance of the items.
Both have stubs from mounts attached to them, suggesting their removal from a bound volume. The pencil annotation on the letter was written later, as Porson only became a professor in 1792.
