Containers:
Box 2, Folder 37
Scope and content:

Item 1: [William Stevens], London, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 9 Nov. 1791 1 page Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/61). From G.F.'s letter, it appears he is determined wilfully to misunderstand their actions; Mr. [?Brook] Bridges will see him to talk the matter over. Stevens does not recommend buying G.F. out because of a possible indebtedness to the Bacon estate. Item 2: [William Stevens], London, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 15 Nov. 1791 1 page Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/62). Bridges thinks that G.F. is disposed to be more accommodating, and his letter to Mrs. Richardson bears this out; Anthony should let him know that he is going to the West Indies next week. Item 3: [William Stevens], London, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 17 Nov. 1791 1 page Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/63). Boucher does not approve of Anthony's going out to the West Indies, but his passage is booked. Stevens thinks he will suppress a letter to G.F. Item 4: [William Stevens], London, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 9 Dec[embe]r 1791 1 page. Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/64). He has seen the Archbishop [of Canterbury] who is going to Bath; he has a house in the same square as the Bishop of Norwich. Item 5: [William Stevens], London, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 21 Nov[embe]r 1792 3 pages Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/65). By the will of 'Old Burton', who died last Saturday, Stevens was appointed a Trustee [George Burton, the chronologer an uncle of Bp. Horne's wife]. Tom Richardson says that the Bill, which Anthony sent him, was for his mother's use; but he has had it in his possession for five months, and neither Tom nor Anthony has mentioned it before. He has discussed the [Monthly?] Review with Robinson who would accept articles and reviews from divines "sound in the faith"; the printing of the John Bull pamphlet would cost 2 per thousand copies. Item 6: [William Stevens], London, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 24 Nov[embe]r 1792 1 page. Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/66). A parcel of Steven's shirts, shoes & stockings, sent from Epsom, has not yet arrived.
