3pp, 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged, with traces of paper from mount adhering to blank reverse of second leaf. Folded twice. From the Cullum papers, Simpson being a neighbour of the family. Having 'just come in from a longish walk', he is sorry to have missed Lady Cullum. He wishes he 'knew which of the two ways… you name would be most agreeable to you, for us to dine with you; but since you kindly leave it to me, I say Friday, on which Evening we will have the pleasure of being at Hardwick at 7 o'Clock.' He reports that the 'two Miss Lockharts' are 'quite taken' with her, and 'loud in their praises of Lady Cullum'. He gives the names of the party he has 'made up' for the following Thursday: 'Herveys 3, Wynches 2, Col. Wollaston, and Mr. Barton - You and Miss Bird and ourselves make up the twelve.' He is 'not afraid of a Fox, well fed on good poultry, worrying Dot!' He does not think Dot can catch the fox, 'so believe he and Pater may try their best in great safety'. He ends with the remembrances of his two daughters to Lady Cullum and Miss Bird.

3pp, 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged, with traces of paper from mount adhering to blank reverse of second leaf. Folded twice. Written in his usual difficult hand. He begins by stating that her note was forwarded to him from Knebworth. The letter continues: 'I had previously requested my Sol[icito]r. to arrange so…me plan, if possible by which the [tenets?] of the Deed might be performed without your intervention, or occasioning you any personal [trouble?] &c.' The solicitor has informed Lytton that he has 'not quite effected that object in a mode which will [?] you from all anxiety.' A reference to 'Mr. Greene' follows, and he continues by explaining why he was 'desirous of this', with a possible and only partially-legible reference to his long-suffering wife (as 'Lady L'?) and 'the mother'. He ends in the hope that she will visit him at Knebworth. From the papers of Lady Ann Cullum (1807-1875), wife of Sir Thomas Gery Cullum (1777-1855) of Hardwick House.

Lady Bulwer Lytton is now best-known for her mistreatment at the hands of her husband (see their entries in the Oxford DNB). Both letters are in good condition, lightly aged and worn, the first carrying traces of mount and with slight damage at one corner. ONE: 28 February 1836. 4pp, 16mo. She is delighted to hear of Lady Cullum…'s return to England. She asks her, 'like a darling' to bring her husband Sir Thomas Gery Cullum with her 'and spend a long day with me on Wednesday I mention that day as the first I have disengaged, but if you can come, on Saturday and stay two or three weeks with us it would make me most excessively happy. On Wednesday you will find no lady but stupid me as my Sposo [i.e. her husband] is obliged to Dine at the Duchess of Kents, were it any where else he would put it off to have the pleasure of seeing you.' She ends with a reference to Lady Cullum's brother, and to the good health of her husband. TWO: Without date or place. 4pp, 16mo. Bifolium. Begins: 'My dear Lady Cullum how kind you are to me, too kind for I shall get too fond of you, and it is a bad thing to be fond of anything in this world. Thank you very much for the draughts, and still more for the inking no them.' She would have thanked her the previous night, but 'was in too much [pash?] to do so'. If Lady Cullum is 'at home to day at 2 O'Clock, need I say how delighted I shall be to see you, as indeed the sight of your pretty kind face always does me good'.
