East Midlands good group of vernacular letters - 18th-19th c together with other ephemera including a diary, a printed advert dated 1805 for a damask weaver from Retford, Notts, a ms notebook with what appears to be an inventory of land holding near Waddingham, Lincs late 18th c, and a further ms notebook containing what appears to be instructions for various dances late 18th c - many of which may well have long been forgotten
