Scope and Contents

Item 1: [William Stevens], London, [Eng.], to Jonathan [Boucher], 25 Jan[uar]y 1798 1 page. Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/78). However Miller Southgate may like the principles of Boucher's book, what will he think of his practices? He will probably expect to see a calf's head on the table at dinner. Item 2: [William Stevens], Kentbury, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 5 Sept. 1798 2 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/79). He and Boucher are both wanderers, but Boucher prefers mountains. Boucher's work [A View of the Causes and Consequences of the American Revolution] has been well received by Lord Kenyon and the Archbishop of York. As he was "struck out of the Privy Council" after giving his opinion against accepting a mitre in the Scottish church, he had not heard that Boucher had taken a house at Carlisle and does not think it signifies anything whether he approves or not. Item 3: [William Stevens], London, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 18 Oct[ober] 1799 2 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/80). He hopes that he will soon be able to talk to Boucher instead of writing to him. Boucher has had a misunderstanding over terms of printing with George Robinson.
