He asks, 'when any verse of mine appears in the Gazette', for a stamped copy. He has 'many friends, connected with the Local press, who would quote & thus be serviceable to you'. In a postscript he tells Jerdan: 'You must please yourself about "Something Cheap" it is out of my usual way, written off hand: and I may have missed my mark.'. …

Hervey. 1p, 4to. In good condition, lightly aged, with thin neat strip of windowpane mount adhering to edges. Folded four times for postage. Thirteen lines of text. Signed 'W. Jerdan', with recipient ('Dear Sir') not named. Begins 'Dear Sir / Accept my thanks for the Friendships Offering which shall receive immediate attention. My packets are regularly sent from the Literary Gazette Office twice every day (the forenoon & evening) so that I am sure of their being speedily delivered: yet I rather think I did not get the India proofs you mention last week. If I have them now, they must be with the gentleman who writes most of the Criticisms on the Fine Arts for me.' He ends by confirming that a review has been printed of 'Mr Kennedy's Volume of genuine poetry', but that 'the presence of more temporary matter led to its being delayed', and that the notice will be inserted on the following Saturday.…

He can put off 'the evil day' no longer, and must now 'give in to circumstances' and reluctantly inform her that he cannot come and visit. 'After all the enjoyment I promised myself in your society this is hard: and I go on picturing to myself your friendly faces and cordial welcome until my heart aches to see the impediments standing in the way of so much (unnusual) pleasure.' He feels sure she has been 'calling me all sorts of names', 'but something has occurred - which had to be met and set right:- and I am now left with as many more disjointed things to cope with as will take a month to remove'. In a postscript he conveys the regards of his wife and family, before ending: 'A shake of the hand to my old friend Jerdan should you see him. - When is that 4th Vol to astonish the world?' The reference is to the fourth volume of Jerdan's 'Autobiography', which appeared in 1853.…

See his long and appreciative entry in the Oxford DNB. 1p, 12mo. Worn and aged, with part of paper mount adhering over half of the reverse. Written in a tight close hand.

He exclaims: 'How the Times has taken us up this morning?' And he ends the letter: 'Try and get the Mayor's speech - I see it is suppressed everywhere.'.…

The letter and reply are on the same 12mo bifolium. In fair condition, on lightly-aged paper. ONE: Pryme to Moran. 3pp., 12mo. He writes that Jerdan has referred him to Moran 'for inquiry respecting him'. He is satisfied with Jerdan's account, but as he is 'a stranger to me & I am acting for others as well as myself I wish to ask whether in your opinion we may place reliance upon him in every respect as to his making out from the Books & adjusting some complicated accounts of a Provincial Newspaper & some disputed balances thereon'. TWO: Moran's reply to Pryme. 1p., 12mo, on the reverse of the second leaf of the bifolium. Not a draft. He is 'not aware of Mr Jerdan's proficiency in the particular class of accounts' referred to by Pryme, but he does not 'think him capable of undertaking any thing which he could not perform satisfactorily. When he was a Candidate for the Secretaryship of the Literary Fund Society he had my vote & active aid as one of the Committee of that Corporation: & I would if called on readily renew my efforts in his behalf.' Jerdan's father was the editor of the Literary Gazette. Pryme's lectures on political economy at Cambridge were the first on the subject at any British university.…
