Correspondence between Lady Caroline Lamb and Lord Byron, with letters of Lady Caroline Lamb to John Cam Hobhouse., 1812-1824, undated.
Scope and Contents
The letters between Lady Caroline Lamb and Lord Byron have been placed before those of Lamb to John Cam Hobhouse. They have then been arranged in chronological order. Some of the letters were dated with reference to the website of Professor Paul Douglass, ‘Caro: the Caroline Lamb website’.
When first made available for consultation this folder of letters, before it was foliated, included a letter, provisionally dated 1813, which had attributed the recipient as being Lord Byron. However, on cataloguing it was found that the recipient was probably John Murray [II]. The letter therefore is now at MS.43467, folios 127-128.
