| Description: |
Brown cardboard box approximately 25.5 cm x 18 cm x 5.5 cm, in the form of a book, titled "Letters" on spine, with marbling on 3 edges. Labelled inside lid "No. 1 large 8vo Stone's Patent Box for the safe & Orderly Keeping of all Letters, Papers and Documents . . ." . The label is partly covered by a modern Post-It note with a rough and incomplete list in Richard Wallace's hand (c. 2000?) of some of the letters which it contained when delivered to the Museum. The contents have now been transferred to a number of more appropriate series. |
