TitleLetter from Hannah Booth to her niece Eleanor Isabella Gell, on assorted family news
Date1 Jan 1850
DescriptionNew year's wishes to Eleanor and her family. She still hopes to welcome her brother home. She has not heard from Lady Franklin, but has heard about her, as well as the Gells, from Louisa Turner; her niece Mary Wright is heavily afflicted; she is glad Eleanor got her brother-in-law F. Gell to call on Arthur [Wright]; grandson Thomas Booth has typhus, seized of it at Eton, but now home; Herbert has been with them for two weeks, having left Rugby, and has gone to Dr Pacey's to meet Edith; Aunt Betsey is a wonder and an example of patient suffering; Eleanor's family are well at Buckingham Villa, and Mr Gell preached at Clifton church today; she herself is confined to home by cold.
