Letters concern Francis Bacon and the Shakespeare authorship question, with particular attention paid to Bacon's alleged connection to Rosicrucians and Freemasons. (1), a circular printed in facsimile, concerns variant facsimiles of the Shakespeare first folio, J.O. Halliwell-Phillipps, and Ignatius Donnelly. In (6), Pott expresses her delight that Platt has "had a poke at that conceited individual, Mr. Andrew Lang." (5) and (8) include rough sketches. Most letters written from 81, Cornwall Gardens, Queens Gate, S.W., but also includes letters from Chownes Mead, Haywards Heath, Sussex, 5 Clifton Crescent, Folkestone, and 151 High Street, Kensington W.
