Dear Sir,—I understand that to obviate future difficulties, I ought now to make marriage settlements. I entrust this to your management, if you will be kind enough to take the matter in hand. In the course of three weeks or a month, I shall take the precaution of being remarried, before which I believe these adjustments will be necessary. I wish the sum settled on my wife in case of my death to be £700 per

annum. The maiden name is
Harriett Westbrook with two T’s—Harriett. Will you be so kind as to address me at Mr. Westbrook’s, 23, Chapel-street, Grosvenor-square? We most probably go to London to-morrow. We shall see Whitton, when I shall neither forget your good advice, nor cease to be grateful for it. With kind remembrances to your family,

Yours most gratefully,
Percy B. Shelley.
Cuckfield, Oct, 21, 1811.
