| Description | This letter was sent to Margaret and Elizabeth Taylor by their father following his return home after he and Mary Jane Taylor had visited their daughters at school in Saxe-Meiningen. John Taylor refers to the girls' financial situation and remarks on his preference for sleeping in French beds rather than German ones. He writes that the girls' mother Mary Jane Taylor had seen the Cathedral at Cologne and remarks that he had bathed in the Rhine. John Taylor concludes his letter by telling Margaret and Elizabeth to 'be good girls & love one another'.
A note added to the first page of the letter asks the girls to send home their receipts for 'dressing cucumbers'. |
