It documents the first two thirds of this century, reflecting shifts from Victorian to modernist culture, the experience of the two world wars, the Depression and post war prosperity, and the changing face of the arts in America and Europe. Moore wrote letters daily for most of her life, long, intense letters to friends and family, shorter but always distinctive letters to an ever widening circle of acquaintances and fans. At the height of her celebrity, she would occasionally write as many as fifty letters a day. Both Moore and her correspondents appreciated the value of their exchange, so that an extraordinary number of letters, approximately thirty thousand, have been preserved. A large heavy book, extra postage may be required.

1p., 4to. On laid paper watermarked 'G & R TURNER | 1829'. In fair condition, on aged and worn paper. Docketed on the reverse 'Bayley [sic] | 1830' and 'By Thomas Haynes Bayly, Poet | Author of "I'd be a butterfly etc etc'. The poem is sixteen lines long, and begins: 'My own Love! my true Love! here's health & joy to you Love, | A happy year without a tear & sweet smiles not a few Love! | Of all my anniversaries, I prize your Birth day best. | And well I may, for 'twas the day that brighten'd all the rest: | To this I owe my bliss below - of more than that, the Love | Whose purity my guide may be to happiness above!' The poem was published in 1829 in the keepsake 'The Casket' (London: John Murray); apart from accidentals, that version corresponds to this. The poem is addressed to Bayly's wife, born Helena Becher Hayes. The couple were married in 1826, and she died in 1867.
