Scope and content
Letter from Rev. William Venables Vernon regarding the production of drawings of the ruins of the Abbey of St. Mary, as the land had been recently acquired by themselves. A Fellow of the Society suggested that they send copies of drawings recently produced by themselves but he suggests producing a second series of drawings.

A later letter, dated 13 April 1829 and stored in SAL/01/02/029, confirms that the Society did publish at least 1250 lithographs detailing this site.
