Copy of a curious love letter : From a young gentleman in this neighbourhood, which was found near this place, this morning, addressed to Miss N.S-, a young lady belonging to this town, which will prove very interesting to the public in general.
Maidment, James,1793-1879,former owner.StEdNL.
[Scotland? : s.n.,
ca. 1825?]
The letter begins: MADAM,--- The great affection I have hitherto expressed for you is false,  and I now feel that my indifference towards you increases every day, and the more I see of you, the more you appear ridiculous in my eyes, and an object of contempt.
Provenance: Bound in a volume carrying the inscription 'This collection is understood to have been formed by the late James Maidment and it has been added to by me. John A. Fairley' on first fly-leaf.
