  Sonnets 16 and 23: facsimile

  Manuscripts

  A one page facsimile of two sonnets by John Milton; the four corners of the page have been trimmed and appear to have been removed from an album. Sonnet 16 is "To the Lord General Cromwell, May 1562..." and Sonnet 23 "Methought I saw my late espoused saint..." was created around 1658 following the death of Milton's second wife, Katherine Woodcock, who died from childbirth; there is an incorrect note, in pencil, this sonnet referred to Milton's third wife. Both sonnets are autograph and there is a pencil note the sonnets are in the hand of "Milton's daughter" but does not identify the daughter by name.
