1The cataloguer has assumed that this is the addressee, and described it as a letter to a 'Miss Moseley', but the word seems clearly to be 'Messrs'. The author was the sister of Margaret Gatty to whom there is another letter referring to these sonnets, and also talking about where they should be sent to.
