Letter from Mary Anne Kendall to her cousin Eleanor Isabella Gell, relating to Mary Anne's son's education prospects and news of the Parry family Mr Gell’s kind offer to take F. [her son Franklin Kendall] out; awaiting news from Scotland before coming to town to see Mr Allan; F. has failed to become a “Grecian” [at Christ’s Hospital School], for which she blames Mr White; F. would have succeeded if Dr Rice [headmaster of Christ's Hospital School, Horsham, Sussex] had not died and if Dr Jacob had not been seriously ill; Parrys are settled at Tunbridge Wells; little interest in the press about Sir Edward's [Parry] funeral; Captain Austin and Sir George Back attended; Lady Parry’s income is £900 per year plus possible use of daughter’s money; unlikely that the Hankinsons converted to Roman Catholicism; the Richardsons are now in Glasgow or Edinburgh. Letter dated only 13 Sep, but 1855 added in pencil 13 Sep [1855]
