Former Reference	D3287/31/2
Title	Letter from Dora Simpkinson to Eleanor Isabella Gell
Date	15 Jan [1857]
Description	Not tempted by what Eleanor has written about their servants; they need a more active servant to be cook for a country clergyman' s house. Her sister is still in much the same state, with little hope of her getting better. Only dated 15 Jan but context of her sister's serious illness probably makes the year 1857, the sister being Lucy Agnes Vaughan.
