Jane Porter, English novelist. The Jane Porter manuscript material in the Pforzheimer Collection consists of writings, correspondence, and memoranda. The writings include a holograph poem, "To a friend of the Battle of Waterloo"; an unidentified story fragment; and a draft for an epitaph for her sister, the novelist Anna Maria Porter. The bulk of the correspondence dates from between 1834 and 1846, and much of it is in draft form. Correspondents include Longman Co., the publishers; Sir Robert Peel, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom; Mary Robinson, the author and actress; and over fifty others. Most of the memoranda list topics to be addressed with certain people when she next sees or writes them.
