Abstract

Ordinary working-people had the means and the knowledge to pay a local attorney to write a letter on their behalf to those who had offended them, or owed them money. This article relates ‘the lawyer's letter’ to other informal law practices of the early English nineteenth century and discusses the letters themselves as part of the multi-faceted epistolary culture they inhabited.
