William Godwin to William Hone, 10 February, 1819. Oxford, Bodleian Library MS. Shelley adds. c. 13, fol. 19. [external link] This brief note, addressed simply to "Mr Hone," was clearly hand-delivered. For more on Hone's relationship with Hazlitt, see the letter to Childs, 3 February, 1819.[return] — -TEI-
Dear Sir,

Mr. Hazlitt, I believe, wanted my [issues ?] of Morning Chronicle merely for one hour's use: &, as Mrs. Godwin has an offer of £150 for them, I am very anxious to get them back again: nothing is so liable to be torn or otherwise mutilated as a pile of newspapers.

Very truly yours W Godwin Skinner Street. Feb. 10, 1819.
