3pp., 12mo. Bifolium. In fair condition, on aged and worn paper. The letter begins: 'As cheapness seems the chief topic at present, I send you 'something cheap' which I trust may suit the Gazette.' He asks, 'when any verse of mine appears in the Gazette', for a stamped copy. He has 'many friends, connected with the Local press, who would quote & thus be serviceable to you'.

4pp., 12mo. Fair, on lightly-aged paper. Addressed to 'My dear friend', and with the name of the recipient obliterated from the valediction: 'Will you give my sincere and grateful remembrances to your noble hearted husband? and believe me | dear | Every affectionately, | [signed] Charles Swain'. He can put off 'the evil day' no longer, and must now 'give in to circumstances' and reluctantly inform her that he cannot come and visit. 'After all the enjoyment I promised myself in your society this is hard: and I go on picturing to myself your friendly faces and cordial welcome until my heart aches to see the impediments standing in the way of so much (unnusual) pleasure.' He feels sure she has been 'calling me all sorts of names', 'but something has occurred - which had to be met and set right:- and I am now left with as many more disjointed things to cope with as will take a month to remove'. In a postscript he conveys the regards of his wife and family, before ending: 'A shake of the hand to my old friend Jerdan should you see him. - When is that 4th Vol to astonish the world?' The reference is to the fourth volume of Jerdan's 'Autobiography', which appeared in 1853.

Begins: 'My dear Jerdan / The inclosed is for you to do what you like with. / I am off to Lord Albert's tomorrow morning - the weather is improving.' He suggests that 'Smith [i.e. the antiquary Charles Roach Smith] will give you give information of what he does at Hartlip, [in Kent, where a Roman villa was being excavated] and give you an opportunity of going, if there is any chance.' He exclaims: 'How the Times has taken us up this morning?' And he ends the letter: 'Try and get the Mayor's speech - I see it is suppressed everywhere.'.
