Letter from Charles Clyatt to Robert Owen

Scope and Content

In this manuscript letter Clyatt discusses in some depth the Social Reformer newspaper. He writes that he received "a great many letters of approval" and that he believes "[edition] number 3 is as perfect a newspaper as any published in London on that day" before detailing the distribution of the first three editions; explains of the caution felt by a Mr Hobson who "sold only one of [edition] No.2 and it is evident that he is afraid of promoting the sale lest he should impair the [sales of] New Moral World".

Detailed discussion of financial matters related to the Social Reformer follow, with Clyatt insisting that Owen must pay him the "remaining £50 to make up the £100 for the ten works [editions]" as has paid the printers for 4 weeks; explains the breakdown of costs incurred thus far.
