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. In February 1828, before leaving her home at Barley Wood in Bristol, More wrote this letter. In it, she states, “The grace of Repentance, like many others, must be established by Habit. Repentance is not compleated [sic] by a single act; it must be incorporated into the Mind till it become a fixed state.” This letter is incomplete, missing the first page stating to whom it was addressed.
