  <dc:title>Letter from Hannah Booth to her niece Eleanor Isabella Gell, relating to the furore over the marriage of Emma Cracroft to George Benjamin Lefroy</dc:title>
  <dc:description>She was so shocked by Eleanor's letter that she wrote to her sister [Isabella Cracroft]; it is a trial for Eleanor and her husband; Isabella's child is married not from home but from that of one which her brother could not enter. No member of the Booth or Gell families had been honoured by having discovered places named after them; she asks Eleanor to stay, with her child Eleanor and maid; she returns Beechey's letter on hopes surrounding Nova Zembla and Spitzbergen; hope still exists on the abundance of food; she has written to Aunt Cracroft to have the wedding at her house with a social breakfast with the Lefroy family.</dc:description>
