Royall, Anne Newport, fl. 1827

Autograph letter signed

Title: to Samuel Knapp

Novelist and travel writer Royall asks "Col. Knapp" to help her promote her novel, The Tennessean, which had been privately published in New Haven that year. His promotion would encourage the Boston house of Richardson & Lord to republish the work. She neglected to bring enough copies and suggests he borrow a copy either from Massachusetts Congressman Edward Everett or Mr. Watterson. Docketed. Address on verso of last page.
