Summary:

"Letters from William Brockedon to John Murray II and John Murray III. A number have the salutation "My dear Brown", or similar. "Brown" appears to have been Brockedon's pet name for John Murray III; it is clear that Murray III is the addressee. The letters concern Brockedon's various interests - painter, continental traveller - and publications. Among the titles mentioned is the "Road-book from London to Naples"."
