TitleLetter from Elizabeth Gell to her sister-in-law Eleanor Isabella Gell, on assorted family news
Date4 Jun [1855]
DescriptionThanks for forwarding F's letter; he wrote about the chaplaincy but answer not expected until next week, so no decision to be made until she had heard from him; reference to Mrs Hayne asking after Eleanor and hoping to see her; everything well, apart from her father taking cold at the annual gathering of schools in Derby; concerns about Eleanor's housemaid, likely to say things to bring trouble on others.
Only dated 4 June, but 1855 has been added in pencil.
