| Description | In this letter Elizabeth Taylor writes that she would like to visit her mother's stall at the bazaar she was involved with in England, noting that the bazaar must have been like 'a family party', as many of the Taylors' relatives were involved. She remarks how 'very jolly' it would be for her mother to visit her in Paris, adding that she should come in time for Victor Hugo's funeral the following week.
Elizabeth remarks on a disappointing visit to see some paintings at the Salon. She also provides an account of her home visits in Paris and describes a fete which the mission had organised for the poor women who undertook patch-working at the mission in return for bread and meat.
Elizabeth requests a number of musical scores from home and notes that Victor Hugo would be lying in state under the Arc de Triumphe. She concludes her letter with remarks about her class at the Peckham Friends' First-Day School. |
