Series I: Bowles letters, 1827 and 1850
Scope and Contents
The collection consists of two letters to John Houlton of Farley Castle, Bath. The first letter (January 15, 1827, Bramhill) tells of his impending visit to Houlton in company with Thomas Moore and Lord Lansdowne (the third Marquis) to attend a musical evening. He outlines a suggested programme of songs. In the second letter (January 23, 1827, Bath), he apologizes for his presumption in sending the suggestions; he was unaware that there was a committee for this purpose. Also included is a letter (April 12, 1850) from Arthur Houlton about Bowles, who had just died.
