- Shelf Mark: Ms.Eng.2
- Extent:
- 1 sheet of paper; 37 lines; 300 x 420 mm
- Geographic Coverage:
- England, England--Suffolk, and England--Norfolk
- Coordinates:
- 52.66667, 1, 52.16045, -0.70312, and 52.16667, 1
- Additional Physical Characteristics:
- Folded to make bifolium, writing on one side only, plus signature, with address and note of sender. Creasing and wear patterns suggest entire sheet was previously folded quite small with address on the outside. Letter and address are in one hand (Thomas Jermy's); note on sender ("Jarmes laste lettre") is possibly in William Paston's hand; initials and date notation of eighteenth-century Norfolk antiquarian Francis Blomefield are at foot of letter. Paper is somewhat stained and damaged, especially along fold lines, but damage has been stabilized by repairs, including grafted modern paper, notwithstanding minor text loss at lower right corner.
- Physical Repository:
- University of Victoria (B.C.). Library
- Collection:
- Medieval and Early Modern Manuscripts Collection
- Provenance:
- The letter was donated to University of Victoria in 1985 by Dorothy Sweet. She found it among the belongings of her parents, who had unknowingly inherited it (in chests of drawers with other abandoned papers) when they purchased their Cornwall home in 1953. Ownership before 1953 is unknown, though the letter clearly came into the hands of Francis Blomefield sometime before his death in 1752. Documents related to ownership history are housed with the letter.
