Autograph Letter Signed from the author and educationist Sarah Trimmer to 'Mr. Newby'

4to, 1 p. 14 lines. Text clear, apart from damage to two words caused by the breaking open of the wafer. Fair, on lightly-aged paper, with traces of previous mount adhering to the reverse. Her recipient has corrected 'a personal defect' in one of Trimmer's books, calling for a 'trifling' alteration. She will make the alteration when a new edition is called for. 'I am happy to find any of my Books are now in the excellent institution in which you perform so important an office'. Reverse carries a note in a contemporary hand signed by 'J Watson' and dated ' Friday': You receive Rose, Farmer & York - all good Boys - particularly Farmer - & Griffen I will send to Morrow - a very good Boy.
