| Description | In this letter John Taylor apologises to Elizabeth for not being able to allow her to attend the opera, remarking on the dangers of 'the whole round of objectionable amusements' prohibited within the Society of Friends. He explains his reasons for not allowing her request and asks Elizabeth to be wise enough to see that his decision was for her own good.
This letter relates to a letter sent by Elizabeth Taylor to her father asking for permission to go to the opera in June 1872. |
