Title
Part of extract from letter by Eleanor Anne Porden, on request by female [?Mary Anne Flaxman] for the Attic Chest box to be lent out occasionally
Date
[early 19th cent]
Description
An unnamed female had sent to reclaim the box at late notice; Miss Vardill had asked the editor and editress if they had any objection to lending it occasionally to her or Mrs Flaxman for a night, to which she answered that they had no objection; Eleanor is as much in the dark as any casual visitors that evening as to what "the intention of the Lottery" was and whether the letter's recipient had any share of it.
