TitleLetter from Anne Petrie to Eleanor Isabella Gell, including on copies of letters of the Flinders family being lent to Eleanor, Anne being a Flinders cousin
Date[mid 1850s]
DescriptionGlad to hear from her; she called at Seymour Street last summer in hope of seeing her, but house shut up, with the postman not able to tell where they had gone; her young boy is the only one not suffering, a young Hercules and big for his age; she found letters in a cover, just as Eleanor had returned them to her; there is no hurry for Eleanor in copying them, knowing they are safe in her hands; there are several personal details of interest for a memoir; her aunt has been reading them and sends her remembrances to Mrs Booth. Added in pencil that Anne Petrie is a Flinders cousin, possibly the mother of the " Egyptian Traveller". Letter is only dated 18 March
