| Title | 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 |
| Date | 13 Sep [1855] |
| Description | 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 |
