A manuscript letter, [1785], from A[nna] M[aria] Bennet[t], [at Tooting, Surrey], to her former lover Admiral Sir Thomas Pye, Suffolk Street, [London], castigating him over his affair with another woman (ff. 1-2).
A transcript of the letter, [?late 20 cent], is also included (f. 3). Bennett describes herself as 'on the wrong side of forty' (f. 1), suggesting a birth date earlier than that given in biographical sources (see for instance The Encyclopedia of Romantic Literature, ed. by Frederick Burwick, Nancy Moore Goslee and Diane Long Hoeveler (Chichester, 2012), p. 120: 'sometime between 1750 and 1760').
