Notes
This collection, MA 1852, is comprised of 40 autograph letters signed from Samuel Taylor Coleridge to Mr. and Mrs. John James Morgan and Charlotte Brent from November 1807 through October 1826. Coleridge lived with the Morgans from 1810-1816.
These letters are from the Joanna Langlais Collection, a large collection of letters written by Samuel Taylor Coleridge to various recipients. The collection has been divided into subsets, based primarily on Coleridge's addressees, and these sub-collections have been cataloged individually as MA 1848- MA 1857.
The letters were originally accompanied by short summaries in the hand of Ernest Hartley Coleridge. These summaries have been removed and are housed in the Collection File.
