Description: On 6 Nov 73, Wordsworth writes a short note, “My dear Myrick, I only have just time to send the enclosed wills. Affectionate regards, yours always, C Lincoln”. He adds a postscript with dates he will be in Norwich, hoping to “have the great pleasure of seeing [Myrick]”. In the 21 Nov 74 four-page letter Wordsworth accepts “with gratitude” Sir Robert Sutton’s presence at the nomination of a vicar to the “Living of East Retford.” He considers impending vacancies and changes in the vicarages of Retford and Blyth and “after careful consideration” recommends Reverend A, F. Elsworth, the Curate of Swinton, “as a fit person to be presented at the vicarage of Retford.” The letter is signed, “Your obliged & faithful/C Lincoln.” The letters are written on ivory 4½” x7” stationery imprinted “Riseholme, Lincoln” in deep blue Old English Text. Christopher Wordsworth (1807-1885) was an Anglican bishop, a prolific scholar, and a travel writer. Some of his significant works include his work on his uncle William Wordsworth, Memoirs of Wm.
