Autograph Letter Signed ('Ll Jewitt') from the antiquary Llewellynn Jewitt to 'Mr Doxey' [the numismatist the Rev. John Smith Doxey], regarding an article for his journal 'The Reliquary'.

Author: 
Llewellynn Jewitt [Llewellynn Frederick William Jewitt] (c.1816-1886), antiquary, illustrator, engraver, natural scientist, author of The Ceramic Art of Great Britain (1878) [Rev. John Smith Doxey]
Publication details: 
Winster Hall [High Peak, Derbyshire]. 26 August 1874.

4pp., 12mo. Bifolium. Good, on lightly-aged paper. The manuscript of Doxey's article is 'safe to hand' and Jewitt is 'much pleased [both words underlined twice] with the plates & coins. It is very nice indeed.' The article is too late for the next number, 'the difficulty being the engravings'. 'If you dont mind I think I should like to give your article the "place of honour" - ie the opening article - in the following number'.
