Description | February 7th: glad to hear that in good health expecting a baby; hopes God will support them; Mrs Gell called to give the news; Mrs Gell and Mr Gell busy arranging to leave Clifton; enclosing memorial brooch which had been given by Eleanor's mother's to Hannah's sister, but as the sister has now died [Elizabeth Franklin], she is giving the memorial brooch to niece in dual memory of Eleanor's mother and aunt; has received a letter from Louisa Turner; uncle sends his love. February 8th: arrangments for sending the brooch; distribution of deceased sister's "trifles as small memorials of her"; weather. Only 7 and 8 Feb are written in text, but 1850 has been added in pencil, which fits with Eleanor being pregnant before having her first child and the death of Hannah's sister [she had been identified in pencil, incorrectly as Mrs Selwood ( who died in 1816) - Elizabeth Franklin had died on 10 Jan 1850] |
Sender Location | 6 Tottenham Place, Clifton [the latter in pencil] |
