Manuskript / Papierantiquität
See Procter s entry in the Oxford DNB. 4pp, 12mo. Bifolium with mourning border. In good condition on lightly-aged paper. 85 lines of closely- and neatly-written text. He begins by thanking Sutton for the welcome portrait of Sir Edward Lugden . He gives an example of Lugden s happy election repartee (a joke about Lather and the present price of "Soap" ), for which, if no other reason, he deserves a niche in my tonsorial gallery . (Lugden (1781-1875), a noted Conservative politician, was reputed to be the son of a barber.) Stating that he will be happy to tell Sutton all I know touching Tom Moody , he gives an account, amounting to a quarter of the letter, of the only occasion on which he watched hounds and quaffed brown beer with huntsmen , while going with a friend to explore the wild beauties of The Brushes (an enlarged edition of Boggart Ho Clough,) approaching Saddleworth . He stating that he had several times the pleasure of seeing an oil painting of the famous whipper-in, at a shop in Long Millgate , wondering how it could have travelled so far out of its course . The picture dealer had no doubt ( have picture dealers ever any doubts? ) that it was genuine. The price was thirty shillings, which Sum I was very nearly expending. The shop is now closed, but the picture might possibly be found in the possession of Kirby Ogden, Undertaker, and dealer in old curiosities. After a paragraph noting the neglected condition of honest Tom s grave in Barrow churchyard he concludes with reference to a sketch of Moody s grave , which an individual has promised to unveil - or unearth - some early day.
