Brief Summary:
Autograph Letter from Joseph Cooper Walker to Andrew Caldwell, written from St Valery’s, Bray and dated 28 August 1799.
Detailed Summary:
Walker begins by apologising for his delayed reply, explaining that his father died in a fire that destroyed the upper stories of their house at Eccles Street, and that Lord Charlemont also died, resulting in him being unwell from a cold and mental suffering. He then turns to literary matters, mentioning Sheridan’s Pizarro, Malone, Pope Agris, and Voltaire’s Merope.
