Description
John Jones writes David Jones discussing the birthplace of Sarah Siddons, saying that it "seems to create surprize", and that the people of Brecon were hurt at the denial of the truth. He adds that she was in service with the Cliffords "which she was obliged to leave from her invincible propensity to the stage". The letter contains notations by a second hand and the letter shows a drawing of the engraved plate on the coffin of Sarah Siddons. Page 2 is a self-cover and shows an embossing towards the bottom.
