Manuscript fogery, in an unknown hand, of a letter from Lord Byron to James Perry, editor of the Morning Chronicle. Undated; watermark of "BASTED MILL / 1819." Creation date of forgery undetermined, but the letter was listed in the Walter M. Mill catalog of November 1899. Reads in full: "My dear Sir, I think Mr. Lambert is right. Some inconvenience might certainly arise from any other mode than that now proposed by me; but there can be none in making the expenses a joint concern; and to this I cheerfully agree. With best wishes for your health happiness, believe me to remain, my dear Sir, most sincerely yours, N. Byron.".
