The October display at the WS Society is a selection of our collection of letters, chosen and captioned by James Hamilton. The display includes a 1745 Rebellion Commission signed by Charles Edward Stuart and letters signed by John Wesley, John Ruskin, and Robert Louis Stevenson.  

Jo Hockey (Research Librarian at the WS Society) notes, 

‘Letters are one of the most powerful forms of handwritten creations - a direct communication between two people which can make for a charged viewing experience, particularly given the significance of the authors.’
