Add to basket1 p, 4to. Nine lines, in a neat and close hand. Fair, on lightly-aged paper, and still tipped-in onto a leaf from an autograph album. Addressed, with two postmarks, on reverse of second leaf of bifolium, to 'Mr. Jos. Sharpe, | at his chambers in | Lincolns Inn | London'. He wrote to Sharpe five weeks previously, sending a lease…for his perusal, 'and likewise to authorise you to deliver up my sister's plate upon Mr. Argile paying you ye. I agreed to take.' If the latter matter is still unsettled, he instructs Sharpe to apply to Argile's attorney 'to settle it forthwith'. 'I cannot conceive for what purpose my unjust adversary will neither deliver me from the charge of what he calls his own, nor give me what he has declared he is wishing to pay.'.

Add to basket1 p, landscape 12mo (18.5 x 11.5 cm). Eleven long lines in a small neat hand. Text clear and complete. Fair, on aged paper. Tipped in onto a piece of paper, 21 x 13 cm. The reference to Melmoth's 'advanced Age' is at the foot of the page. Docketed on reverse in a contemporary hand: 'From Mr. Melmoth to Mrs. Walters'. Begins: 'Be…lieve me, my very dear Sophia, I am so truely [sic] your obedient servant in every affectionate & friendly sense of those terms, that there is no office in which you can employ me I shd. not execute with that complacency, were it only to procure for you a Pin to fasten your hat. My life has lasted so much longer than it is in my power to employ it to any significant purpose, that you see I do not scruple to present myself to you in the trifling character of a Will Whimble [sic, for 'Will Wimble', a character in Addison's essays].' Concludes in the same vein, stating that he is proud of handing her 'two Epistles to the Post-office', and rejoicing in the 'good account' she gives of herself and 'all that belong to you'.
