A manuscript, [1826x1845], entitled 'The Morris, and all other Officers attending upon it', relating to the meeting of veteran Morris dancers at Hereford races in 1609, an event reputedly arranged by John Hoskins. The manuscript is a transcript of part of a larger work which was published as a tract, Old Meg of Herefordshire for a Mayd Marian and Hereford Towne for a Morris Daunce ... (London, 1609). Also included are two letters, 1845, from William Cooke, vicar of Banbury, to an unnamed descendant of John Hoskins at Harewood, Herefordshire, concerning 'a celebrated Morris Dance exhibited before his Sovereign by yr [sic] memorable and learned Ancestor - Mr Sergeant Hoskyns'.
