Title	Letter from Catherine Rawnsley to her cousin Eleanor Isabella Gell, including on Eleanor's husband applying for headmastership at Rugby School
Date	[late 1849]
Description	They are thinking of her, with her anxiety felt that day; Drummond asks that she wil not fail to write him a line about the Rugby election, as he feels an interest in it and Mr Gell, who D. says is the best man standing; better news from Aunt Wright about Mary's health; she had not liked Eleanor's looks when she saw her, but she was in mourning, and hopes she feels better; Louisa Turner and her husband has visited, she looks much changed for the better, and she really likes Charles; reference to the bride and bridegroom Simpkinson and surprise at his standing for Rugby. The letter is undated, "1850?" has been added in pencil, but reference to election at Rugby suggests 1849.
