Heywood Manuscript
51 Letters completed. Well, I wasn’t going to include the poems, but I’ve decided that when they are referenced in a letter, I should include them with that letter. The compiler of the manuscript, Mary Heywood, has helpfully included a page number when a poem is mentioned. The page numbers are not easy to read as they are small and in the top corner of the page, which gets the most wear.
For example, there are two poems included with letter 51, one by Nessy, and a mini-epic of some 60 verses, ‘A Dream,’ by Peter.
