Letter, 1817.

Four-page holograph letter to Sir George Beaumont, Wordsworth's first important patron. Baillie refers to a revised manuscript version of De Montfort, evidently loaned to Beaumont, making light of the loss. She also comments wryly on the Duke of Wellington's appearance after the final curtain at a performance of one of her plays, taking his bows to thunderous applause "with a very bad grace."
