Summary
Samuel Rogers [1839–52]
TO SAMUEL ROGERS, [1839–52]
MS: Harvard University.
Dear Mr. Rogers,
I am truly sorry to say that on Friday I have asked Miss Berry to breakfast with me. Anybody but a lady I would put off.
Ever yours
T B Macaulay
TO DR J. GRANT [1839–57]
MS: Bodleian Library. Address: Dr J Grant / etc. etc. etc. Subscription: T B Macaulay.
My dear Sir,
I am no Connoisseur in curiosities of this kind. The missal is certainly very prettily written and illustrated. As to its country all that is clear to me is that it must have been in England about three hundred years ago. As to its date, the reference to Philip of France whom I take to be Philip le Bel would fix it early in the fourteenth Century. But I speak quite as one of the unlearned.
Yours truly
T B Macaulay
TO THOMAS FLOWER ELLIS, [1839–57]
MS: Mr F. R. Cowell.
Dear Ellis,
I will dine with you on Thursday, I suppose at seven. Have you company? Will you dine with me on Friday? Heaven confound the beastly iron nails that you use instead of pens.
Ever yours
T B Macaulay
23 June [1841–9] [Frances Macaulay?]
TO [FRANCES MACAULAY?], 23 JUNE [1841–9]
MS: Mr W. Hugh Peal.
Albany London / June 23
I will try to learn in what way the thing can be done with most advantage to you. I shall probably see Edward before the time fixed for payment. If not, I will write to him.
