Unnamed Letter and Notices From 1713 London Scene
A dated letter received by Lady Stapilton in 1713 promises two hundred pounds on demand if bonds and papers are delivered, and details a large fee simple estate in Darfer County worth about 200 acres of mixed land to be sold. Items warn of a waxwork removal to Louthbury, urging curiosity and attendance, plus pawn-broker ads, an inn lease, and a police notice about two wanted men with rewards for information.
