Heywood Manuscript
I’ve put the ebooks on hold as I’ve received jpeg images of the Heywood Manuscript from the State Library of New South Wales. The manuscript is a collection of poetry and letters of the Heywood family. The letters are primarily concerned with Peter Heywood and his appearance at the court-martial of the Bounty mutineers. I already have a few of these letters on the site, but this collection contains 117 letters between various family members and friends and is fairly complete. These are not the original letters, but copies made by Mary Heywood, Peter’s older sister. The letters are numbered 1 through 117 and there a few remarks by Mary and a couple of things written by Peter. I’m going to include everything but the poetry. It will take a while.
