Description/Summary

Summary:

'These letters shed light on Humphry Repton{u2019}s private thoughts, at times somewhat negative ones, written as they were towards the end of his life, which, although successful in terms of renown, had been rather less successful financially. They also disclose much about how his business was conducted. Other letters, or postscripts, from all of his immediate family reveal close-knit relatives concerned about each other{u2019}s well-being and gossiping about friends and acquaintances in Norfolk and Essex, such that they disclose much about local society in and around Aylsham and Hare Street.' --
