TitleLetter from Marianne J. Simpkinson to her cousin Eleanor Isabella Franklin, enclosing copy of a little book written by Marianne
Date13 Aug 1836
DescriptionPresenting her with a little book written by herself, hoping she will make allowances for her youth. Mama took her to see giraffes yesterday and she fed the elephant, giving it a bun at a time. When Aunt Franklin writes to Mama, Eleanor must also write to Marianne sometimes; her Mama says that she feels very dull without Aunt Franklin. The bottom of the letter has been cut away, so little of the signature remains.
