See his entry in the Oxford DNB. 5pp, 16mo, on two bifoliums of gilt-edged laid paper. In very good condition, lightly aged and folded once for postage. Signed 'John Bowring'. Written in playful, mock-heroic style. Begins: 'Many, many days ago my dear Mrs Villiers, did I put sackcloth on my shoulders & pile ashes on my head anent a very wicked sin of omission, in which I was peccant towards you - you who I humbly trust in your great goodness will fling over me the mantle of your forgiving charity'. He continues: 'The fact is - no living Lady - I mean no mortal lady writes so well as you do so I attributed your note to gentlemanly calligraphy & sent an answer to an E. Villiers who rejoiceth (as he may in truth well rejoice) in being your son.' The letter continues in the same tone, with the son having 'disdained any such beneficient intention towards me - & then the light flashed on me - & then came a resolution to crave mercy at your hands - & then - and then - the old worn out story - of the creeping on of to morrow'. He hopes to be pardoned for his 'shameful and ungrateful request'. The item is from the papers of Lady Maria Theresa Lewis (nee Villiers) (1803-1865), to whom Mary Berry left her papers for publication. The Lewis papers also contain a covering letter on the subject to Lady Theresa Lewis from Lockhart.…

Also a work which i can only lend him. The Fragment ought [last word underlined three times] to be sent'. He explains that 'Along with this go the two first packets of 'Nepaul'. | In the Introduction I have it in contemplation to the value of a paper, as therein mentioned. I should be much obliged to Mr F. if he could adjust the measures mentioned as requiring adjustment'. He continues with reference the 'Introduction and Plan of the Work and 'Titles of the Chapters and Sections'. In the Introduction Both Egerton's 'Journal of a Winter's Tour in India, with a Visit to the Court of Nepaul' and 'The Life and Character of the Duke of Wellington' were published by John Murray in 1852.…
