Byron (George Gordon Noel, Lord, poet, 1788-1824) Autograph Letter signed to John Cam Hobhouse, 2pp., sm. 4to, [Seaham, Durham or Halnaby Hall, Yorkshire], 5th February 1815, on his honeymoon and making arrangements for the sale of Newstead Abbey, "Will you call on Mr Templeman the Barrister... to undertake the examination and settlement of some affairs", and with a postscript informing him he has "written to Moore about your article and will sent you his answer the moment I receive it", discussing his debts, "some of the tradesman's are largish sums - but the coachmaker tailor and others have received a few hundred which are receipted", and finishing, "There is a damned dinner party, and I must dress", small tear along central folds, slightly creased and browned.

⁂ A letter written on Byron's "treaclemoon", attempting to sort out his debts by the sale of Newstead Abbey, paying tradesmen etc. The reference to dressing for "a damned dinner party" was perhaps an indication of Byron's growing dissatisfaction with his marriage.
