MRS OLIPHANT WANTS TO RESEARCH A MURDER TRIAL FOR HER NOVEL ‘INNOCENT’
OLIPHANT
(Margaret, née Wilson 1828-1897, Scottish Novelist and Historical Writer)
Fine Letter Signed to Mrs Acton Tindall
asking her “to do me a service which I fear you will think a very odd one? I am anxious at this moment to be present at some trials for a serious offence if possible murder - I find that assizes are going on at Aylesbury and that it is the nearest place to which I could go on this uncomfortable mission. Would it be taking too great a liberty with the kindness you have more than once shown me, were I to ask you if you could kindly find out for me if anything of the kind is coming on at Aylesbury and when? Pray pardon me - I feel it is the strangest commission which a lady could be asked to undertake - but I am rather desperate about it, feeling that the time is hurrying on and assizes closing and my murder slipping through my fingers - if you would be so very good as to inquire into this for me.. I should be infinitely obliged...”, 3 sides 8vo., with original autograph envelope, The Crescent, Windsor, 10th March
crest removed with the loss of a few words of text
