Autograph letter addressed from "Manchester", signed, to Messrs Baring & Co. Knowles thanks them for their “honourable rapports to the United States” and sends his very best wishes.

The Old Library, which is distinct from the Pepys Library, is Magdalene’s collection of rare books and manuscripts which has evolved throughout the history of the College. The Old Library also collects modern publications relating to the College and to Cambridge more widely. There are also a small number of ephemeral items and archive-type collections in the Old Library, and it is this material which we aim to enter into this catalogue. For advice on locating the printed books and manuscripts in the Old Library online, please consult the following page: https://www.magd.cam.ac.uk/old-library/catalogues
Offprints and articles concerning Pepys and the Pepys Library bound into albums. Formerly known as the 'Miscellaneous Pamphlets' volumes.
