Hannah More (1745–1833) was an English poet, playwright, religious writer, social reformer, and anti-slavery activist. More wrote her first play in 1762 and continued to write poetry, plays, and tracts, which in her later years became more evangelical. While incomplete, this letter references many people, including “Mr. C. Grant,” likely Charles Grant, a British politician who supported social reform and Christian missions. Grant and More were both associated with the Clapham Sect, a group within the Church of England who shared the desire for social reformation. More’s letter also mentions “the inescapable loss to the State by the death of our lovely Princess.” This likely refers to the death of Princess Charlotte of England in 1817.
