Copy of a letter by Donne, to Susan Vere, Countess of Montgomery, [1619].

The original letter (now lost) apparently enclosed a copy of Donne's Sermon of Valediction preached at Lincoln's Inn on 18 April 1619 (not Donne's sermon on Matthew 21.44 as was thought by Potter & Simpson). The letter was published in Letters to Severall Persons of Honour (London, 1651).
