| Description | These two letters are enclosed together within a small decorative envelope. Both are dated 'Sunday 23rd 1872'. One letter is addressed to Elizabeth's father and the other to her mother.
Elizabeth's letter to her mother refers to family and social news from home and describes her frustration at having to take coffee to one of the school's principals, Miss Trinks. In her letter to her father, Elizabeth refers to ice-skating and remarks how quickly her younger brother Claude was growing up in her absence. |
