Greswell's letter is 1p., landscape 12mo; with Ford's note on one side of reverse. In good condition, on lightly-aged paper, with small central spike hole made by recipient. Greswell's letter is written in a neat, attractive hand, and begins: 'Mr. W. P. Greswell requested J. G. to compare the Glasgow Copy of Euripides with Musgrave's Edition after which it is printed & to let Mr. Ford know what imperfections he observed.' Regarding the 'Iphigenia en taurois' and 'Iphigenia en Aulidi' Greswell writes: 'By mistake from the resemblance of the titles the Binder has put together two copies of the first play & omitted wholly the second'. He notes a second fault, before concluding: 'Jn G: has sent these two vols for Mr. Ford's inspection'. On the reverse Ford writes: 'Revd Wm. Parr Greswell of Denton near Manchester in the Co. of Lancashire, a Gentleman well known by some interesting and esteemed works, as Memoirs of Angelus Politianus and other eminent Italian Scholars of the Fifteenth Century. Memoirs of the early Parisian Printers, and a Poem, entitled St. Werburgh, with notes &c. &c.'.
