* Denotes the original bundle.
13/1 General correspondence: alphabetical sequence, c1772-c1882
Note on arrangement
The original order in which Granville Sharp kept his correspondence has long since been lost. His letters and other papers were examined immediately after his death in 1813 by his biographer Prince Hoare (whose comments can be seen on the top of several letters). They have since been sorted, copied and consulted by many later members of the family as well as by researchers. It has therefore seemed most helpful to arrange the letters alphabetically by name of correspondent. Where possible, correspondents have been listed under their title rather than name (eg London, Lord Mayor of, rather than Crosby, Brass) as this reflects Sharp’s practice of lobbying prominent people in pursuit of his many campaigns.
A brief indication of the main subjects covered is given for each correspondent. A number of letters received were written soley to acknowledge receipt of tracts, pamphlets and the like, sent by Granville Sharp. This type of letter is indicated by “acknowledgement”. Sharp usually wrote several drafts of each outgoing letter, the first of which was sometimes in shorthand. Many of these drafts have survived, making the correspondence unusually full. Cases where drafts of Granville Sharp’s outgoing letters have survived, but the associated incoming letters have been lost are noted in the list. The many fair copies of Granville Sharp’s letters were presumably made by family members after his death.
Letters generated by Granville Sharp solely in his role of executor/trustee are listed as a separate section. (13/2)
