Prisoners' Letters to the Bank of England, 1781-1827
London Record Society, volume 42. This volume comprises several hundred of such letters held in the Bank of England's archives. Many, mainly those written by or for women, came from the depths of abject misery and poverty, begging help to cope with prison conditions and with the journey to Australia.
