Cowper, William. William Cowper ALS Regarding Financial Matters. (London): April 17, 1752. Single sheet of yellowed 6 x 7 ?? paper, inscribed in brown ink and signed ?Your most obedient humble servt, Wm Cowper?. Folded, professionally repaired central fold and restored paper loss at top of page, small chips and loss at corners, otherwise very good. Interesting post script requests a written response ?(considering my Deafness)?; contemporary sources make no mention of the poet?s hearing loss.
