Autograph letter, signed, to an unidentified recipient. An MS annotation at the head of the letter reads: “Mrs Norton to Capt M—"
Norton writes that the letter to Captain Chamier should be sent and the niece, who writes so prettily, should add a line to her uncle to say that brevity would be no demerit in Norton’s eyes, but a positive advantage, and therefore he only need dictate a few lines. Norton encloses the “Ship on Fire” for Captain Chamier), and plans to send “Wreck” by [?], a beautiful representation of “death on the stormy seas”. On matters of business, £3 for a poetical illustration, not exceeding a page and a half, or £5 for three pages – but Norton would prefer the shorter length, since she has already exceeded the limits of the volume. Norton trusts that he recipient will allow his book to remain in Norton’s hands until her hard work is over - she dares not open the bookcase where it is lying, for fear of being distracted from her work. Norton adds in a postscript that she is pushed for time and if she can obtain an address for Captain Chamier, she may try to send the letter to him tomorrow.
