| Title | 13 March 1847
J W Lace at Bromsgrove to Fanny [Lace] on weather, chilblains and school work. Works all day on whole school days and takes care to have a good walk on half holidays. Started turning Latin into English verse - hopes practice will make him more poetical. Hopes she succeeded in establishing a library - people might not appreciate it at first - thinks if she has amusing and instructive books children will read. If she can collect £5 EK would give another £5. Will subscribe 10/- if she starts a subscription. Got 10s from shoemaker - ask papa if he may lay it out in 2 or 3 lesson books which he wants. |
