[1839?]-01-21 J Whatman / Turkey Mill / 18?? Hampstead Lady Davy CL 526 No date in CL. Visit to Sophia Denman Baillie's in Cavendish Square limits possible year to 1820-1845. 21 January fell on Monday in 1822, 1828, 1833, and 1839. According to the letter, Joanna and Agnes Baillie were leaving the next day to stay 'a week or ten days' at Cavendish Square. The only year where this seems possibly correct is 1839.

[1839-03?] no wmk Hampstead Lady Davy CL 503 Baillie mentions having read Lockhart's pamphlet The Ballantyne Humbug Handled, a work dated 12 March 1839.
[1839-03?] no wmk Hampstead Sarah [Leblanc] CL 1095 CL dates [1839?], but the letters refers to the 19 February 1839 death of Baron St Helens as recent. CL lists recipient as Sarah Bentham, but the letter dates after her 1835 marriage to Theodore Leblanc.
[1839-03?] J Whatman / Turkey Mill / 1839 Hampstead Mary Montgomery CL 904 Dated [before 1840] in CL. A comparison with the 28 March 1839 letter to Joseph Tuckerman suggests that this letters was written not long before it.

[1839?]-04-10 no wmk Hampstead [Mary Howitt] CL 1150 No year in CL. Baillie thanks Howitt for Hymns and fireside verses, published in 1839.
[1839?]-05-21 no wmk Hampstead Mr. Stewart CL 1206 CL dates [after 1836], but UC supports only three years: 1839, 1844 and 1850. The earlier two are more likely, both for the tone and for mention of Sophia Baillie just getting over croup (usually a sickness of childhood).
1839-06-18 J Whatman / Turkey Mill / 1839 Hampstead Margaret Hodson CL 682 [no comment]

[1839]-07-16 J Whatman / Turkey Mill / 1839 Hampstead Anna Jameson CL 1022 CL dates [1839?], but UC and similar information in 17 July 1839 letter to Mary Montgomery confirm 1839.

[1840?]-03-03 G Wilmot / 1837 Hampstead Sophia Baillie CL 86 No year in CL, but UC agreement and information in 8 March 1840 letter to Mary Montgomery make 1840 almost certain.

[1840]-04-03 J Whatman / Turkey Mill / 1839 Hampstead Anna Jameson CL 1024 CL dates [1840?], but 1840 seems certain, based on UC and information in 31 March 1840 letter to Lady Davy.
[1840]-04-29 no wmk Hampstead Sara Coleridge CL 1179 No year in CL, but UC and content of this and 7 May [1840] letter to Sara Coleridge confirm 1840.

[1840]-11-13 no wmk 33 Cavendish Sq Edward Moxon CL 1201 CL dates [1840-1842] but UC and 16 November 1840 letter to Anna Jameson (which mentions recent return from 33 Cavendish Square) confirm 1840.
[1840]-11-16 no wmk Hampstead Anna Jameson CL 1025 [no comment]
[1840-11-18?] no wmk Hampstead Samuel Rogers CL 808 CL dates [1840?]; the late November publication of Fugitive Verses allows the more specific probable date.
[1840-11-20?] no wmk Hampstead Sarah [Leblanc] CL 1096 CL dates [1840]; the late November publication of Fugitive Verses allows the more specific probable date. CL lists recipient as Sarah Bentham, but the letter dates after her 1835 marriage to Theodore Leblanc.
[1840]-11-25 no wmk Hampstead Margaret Hodson CL 693 CL dates [1840?] but its contents, when compared to Baillie's 26 November 1840 letters, confirm 1840.

[1841?]-04-16 no wmk Hampstead George Thomson CL 150 No year in CL, but Thomson has written 1841 on the letter. UC supports this year.

1841-05-10 no wmk Hampstead George Thomson CL 148 [no comment]
[1841?]-05-18 no wmk Hampstead Anna Jameson CL 1028 So dated by CL, but UC does not support the year.
1841-05-27 no wmk Hampstead Margaret Hodson CL 695 [no comment]
[1841?]-06-19 no wmk Hampstead Sir FL 212 [no comment]
[1841?]-06-27 no wmk np Sophia Baillie CL 83 No year in CL. Letter's reference to 'the Exhibition' probably refers to the 1841 showing of Landseer's painting after De Montfort. See 30 June 1841 to Mary Montgomery, which mentions the exhibition, and also a recent return from Cavendish Square. UC supports 1841.
1841-06-30 Weatherley / 1838 Hampstead Mary Montgomery CL 885 [no comment]
[1841?]-09-27 no wmk Hampstead Margaret Hodson CL 711 CL dates [1841-1843], but internal evidence makes 1841 most likely.
[1841?]-09-29 R Turner / Chafford Mills / 1841 Hampstead [John Kenyon?] FL 213 [no comment]
[1841?]-10-01 R Turner / Chafford Mills / 18?? Hollybush Hill Mrs. Dunlop CL 1204 CL dates [1820 or after], but the watermark suggests an 1840s date. UC supports 1841. Watermark: R Tu / Chaffo / 18
[1841?]-10-21 no wmk Hampstead Miss Anna Carr CL 1089 No year in CL. A comparison with the late November 1841 letter to Lady Davy (CL 512) and UC agreement strongly suggest 1841.
