“
In the space of 14 days the noble Lord Byron my employer has received only two issues of
your periodical folio the Gallignani. [You] will want, then, to have the satisfaction of regulariz-
ing the sending of such gazette so that he doesn’t miss any issue, as is usual, and with the
[expectation] to see removed any similar inconvenience . . . .”

BYRON, ANNE ISABELLA MILBANKE; LADY. Autograph Letter Signed, “AI.
NoelByron,” to “Dear Sir,” declining the offer of services because of insufficient experi-
ence. 2 pages, 8vo, written on the recto and verso of a single sheet; ink identification in
unknown hand at upper edge of first page, folds. Brighton, 9 November 1848
[200/300]
“
I . . . did not trouble you with an answer only because I understood that you would conclude .
. . that I still felt the same objections to
inexperience
. My present arrangement is only a tem-
porary one with a Gentleman of high character but who is not likely to continue above 2 or 3
months in that situation. I should therefore wish to keep the Address of Mr. Scrattons[?] for
future use . . . .”
