| Description | Mary Taylor thanks Elizabeth for sending home some items to be sold at a charitable bazaar in which the family were involved. She writes that Elizabeth's school certificates had arrived, remarking that Elizabeth's was encouraging, showing that she was 'beginning to take more pains and more interest' at school, particularly with her music. However, she advises Elizabeth that she must take more care in preparing for lessons and pay more attention in class. Mary Taylor reprimands Elizabeth for having received a grading of 'very unsatisfactory' for her tidiness and order, emphasising the importance of improving her behaviour. The letter also includes an account of recent family news and the health of family friends. Mary Taylor concluders her letter with comments about the Annual Bible Meeting. |
