A personal note to her husband ("We are all as well as we can be in your absence.") written on a proof sheet from the Gentleman's Magazine, which he marked and returned with a two page reply from Glastonbury, "this decayed old town."
The Nichols Family Correspondence consists almost entirely of letters addressed to the three generations of the Nichols family who owned the printing firm Nichols & Co. and edited and published the Gentleman's Magazine from 1778 to 1856. The letters document a portion of the publication history of the magazine, particularly the professional and personal relationships between the Nicholses and their contributors. The collection also documents other publication projects of Nichols & Co., as well as the Nichols's antiquarian and literary interests.
