Description: A letter from William P. Reynolds in Los Angeles to a Mr. Davis. Topics include financial matters (settling of debts, collecting merchandise, etc.), family troubles, and a shootout that took place during a ball. Extracts are as follows: "I make out to keep my head above water, and am now a little ahead. If I have luck I shall get a good start this year which will place me on a good footing for getting ahead considerably. I hope in such a manner that I will yet be able to make up for lost time & opportunities, thrown away. At all events I shall strive my hardest, and if I do not succeed, the fault will not be mine. I shall make this my last trial, and it will be all I shall make in the country; if I should fail this time I shall leave the country entirely."--P. [2]. "On the 22nd a ball was given by subscription. No gambler was allowed to subscribe or invited, at which they took umbrage. The consequence was that the professional gamblers tried to get up a mob and break up the ball. Their first essay was unnoticed by any in the ballroom, but on their return they fired several shots at the closed window shutters and door ... There were but two pistols in the ball room. One, Norton had, and the other a Col. Watson. Norton immediately threw open the window shutter as did Col. W. the door, and both commenced shooting ... As the men began to drop the mob dispersed in double quick time."--P. [3].

Book Description
The result of extensive archival investigation, this meticulously researched book collects and describes for the first time the extant literary manuscripts and letters of the celebrated Bluestocking writer and Evangelical philanthropist Hannah More (1745-1833). Participating in the ongoing recovery of eighteenth-century women writers, Nicholas D. Smith's survey is an indispensable reference work not only for More scholars but for those researching the careers of many of her contemporaries. Features include an extended narrative analysis of the manuscripts that plots More's participation in the manuscript culture of the period and contextualizes the individual entries in the index; provenance details for the more substantial manuscript holdings in British and North American repositories; and identification of numerous autograph manuscripts and transcripts in public and private collections. More than 1,500 letters in 95 locations in Britain and North America have been inventoried and precise dates and internal locators are supplied when known. More's letters, the majority of which have never been published, are a largely untapped source of primary materials for scholars and students researching such diverse subjects as the literary activities and opinions of the Bluestocking circle, women's conduct and education, publishing and the book trade, the national debate over the abolition of the slave trade, the rise of the Evangelical movement, the conservative reaction to the American and French revolutions, and the Napoleonic wars.
