(Mary writer 1797-1851) Autograph Letter signed to Thomas Medwin 3pp. with address panel Albaro Genoa 10th May [postmarked 1823] on her preparations for returning to England after the death of Shelley “You will have heard from Jane that after the delay of a winter I am now on the eve of coming to England. I had thought it probable that I should see you in Paris - but from your letter to Lord Byron it seems that you are on the wing and perhaps I may miss you. You will probably have heard from Jane the event of LB`s application to my father in law for an allowance for me - When I return to England I must make another application for my child`s sake and as you know the family you can perhaps advise me the best way of doing this - at any rate I shall be glad to see you & talk to you on the subject... . I have passed the time since I last saw you in entire solitude and whenever my spirits would permit in close literary occupation - I have lived under the roof of the Hunts - but I was not fit society for them or anyone. I have been near LB and although I have seldom seen him yet you will be pleased to hear that he has undertaken the duties of executor on a liberal scale and has surprised me by the continuance & unaltered nature of his actions towards me. Trelawny left us for Rome before xmas - where he has fulfilled all my wishes concerning the deposition of the earthly ashes of my lost unequalled Shelley... you will be glad to hear of there [sic] alleviations to the misfortunes that have come so thick upon me and driven me to a state of utter hopelessness that all the world seems but a shifting sand beneath me” her writing “In the last no. the article on Madame d`Houtelet is by me - Article writing is a new task and I am now serving my apprenticeship” and Byron “LB was pleased at your request to dedicate your poem to him... he is in a very good mood now associating with some titled English or Irish here (females among them)... . I am now reading the 16th canto of Don Juan. It is a very good one as are most of the late ones that he has written tho somewhat in a different style from the first five” and asking after Jane Williams wife of Edward Williams who drowned with Shelley “Tell Jane that it is more than a month since I have heard from her & I expect a letter every day” small tear where opened folds browned edges slightly creased. *** “My lost unequalled Shelley” - Mary Shelley. An important letter referring to Shelley`s death and aftermath Lord Byron and Jane Williams. Not in The Letters of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley edited by Betty T. Bennett John Hopkins University Press 1980. An appeal by Mary Shelley to Medwin for help in securing financial aid from her estranged father-in-law Sir Timothy Shelley. Written ten months after Shelley drowned on 8 July 1822 and offering important insights into Mary Shelley`s life of that loss at a time when she was close to Lord Byron and Leigh Hunt who were also living at Albaro and planning her return to England. Adjacent correspondence published in The Letters of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley indicates that Mary Shelley had been thinking of writing to Medwin at this time and Jane Williams (27 March 1823) had observed that he would be a helpful person to contact in relation to her return to England.
