Heywood Manuscript
90 Letters completed, the last dated October 7, 1792, from Peter Heywood to his sister Nessy. The court-martial has come and gone, but the pardons have not been handed down and Peter and the other mutineers are still imprisoned aboard the Hector.
Nessy and Peter’s elder brother James have come down to London from the Isle of Man in anticipation of seeing him, but Peter has told Nessy in no uncertain terms, repeated in the above letter, that she is not to come anywhere near the ship. James, however, does go down to Portsmouth and visits his brother aboard the Hector.
