"TOM FAGGUS WAS A ZUMMERZET MAN"
BLACKMORE
(Richard Doddridge, 1825-1900, Novelist, author of 'Lorna Doone')
Autograph Letter Signed on a card to an unnamed correspondent
thanking him for his "very interesting piece of news. It used to be said that Tom Faggus was a Zummerzet man, though Devon was fain to claim him, & he lived at one time in North Molton parish. The name sounds entirely foreign. Perhaps his coat of arms shows some light upon the problem...", 1 side on a correspondence card, Teddington, 20th November
