| Title | Letter from Eleanor Anne Franklin to her sister Sarah Henrietta Kay, including references to her being unwell |
| Date | 3 May [1824] |
| Description | Dr. Richardson came too late to deliver an answer by the last post. Quick to fatigue is a clear sign that Eleanor is not well. Not felt fully well for over 6 months. Surely people must be thinking she's fabricating these symptoms. Made herself learned on the subject of hydrophobia out of interest. Each to their own (in French). Dr. Richardson goes to Chatham on Thursday. Dines with Henrietta on Friday. Mr. Bedford says that Mrs. Barker's house on Baker Street is underlet at £240 a year. 'The selection of the Books is to be finished tomorrow! Hurrah!!!'. Cannot go to the fête.
Written Monday evening May 3rd [No year stated but 1824 added in pencil]. |
