| Description | In this letter Mary Taylor apologises for not having written to Elizabeth at an earlier date, referring to social visits at home which had delayed the family's correspondence. She provides brief accounts of recent family activities and expresses her sympathy for Elizabeth who had been reprimanded by the school's principal Miss Trinks. However, Mary Taylor writes that she supported Miss Trinks's advice to Elizabeth suggesting that she should mix more with older girls at the school.
Elizabeth's father John Taylor also sent a letter to Elizabeth during this period advising her to mix more with older students at her school. |
