This manuscript was formerly identified as MA 2012 and was acquired from Sir Benjamin Evans in 1959, five years after the purchase of the major Coleorton collection from Sir Benjamin Ifor Evans of the letters to Sir George and Lady Beaumont. The purchase included three manuscripts of poems and one autograph letter from Wordsworth to Lady Beaumont (MA 1581.280). The four items were integrated into this collection (MA 1581) in 2018.
This manuscript is from a large collection of letters written to Sir George Howland Beaumont (1753-1827) and Lady Margaret Willes Beaumont (1758-1829) of Coleorton Hall and to other members of the Beaumont family. See collection-level record for more information (MA 1581.1-297).
