Manuscript Sources

I have been fortunate enough to find many previously unused manuscripts, including eight hundred unpublished letters in the Monmouth archives, many in the over 150 volumes in the British Library, and volumes in the National Maritime Museum. I also found hundreds of manuscripts in collections in the United States, many in the Well-come Library, in archives across the country, and in private collections all over the world.
