Earliest letter dates from 17 July 1791; last letter dates from 6 February 1818. Clarke relates to Hayley as to a mentor, frequently addressing him as ‘Master’ and asking for advice and assistance with his career, which encompassed working as a tutor, cleric, naval officer and librarian to the Prince Regent in addition to writing books and editing a literary journal. Many letters discuss literary matters: gossip about authors, progress on their own works, as well as their reception. Especially prominent are Hayley’s Life of Milton and Clarke’s Life of Nelson. Of particular interest are four letters written from Europe in 1792, while Clarke was travelling there as a tutor. A letter from 7 Feb 1818 recalls meeting Jane Austen. 1 letter written by J. S. Clarke on behalf of William Hayley to ‘Mr Hayley, Attorney at Law’ dated 23 Nov 1791. 1 letter from William Clarke to William Hayley, dated 27 Jult 1769; contains advice on writing.
