Cheque of John Murray to Jane Austen, 21 October 1816

Although her books would go on to become bestsellers they had only modest success and profits during Austen's lifetime. This small cheque was one of the few she received. It is for her share of the profits from the first edition of 'Emma' and the second edition of 'Mansfield Park'.
