TitleLetter from Elizabeth Taylor to Mary Jane Taylor
LevelItem
Date29 April 1885
DescriptionIn this letter Elizabeth Taylor thanks her mother for 'all the beautiful things' which she had sent to her in Paris, including photographs, aprons and 'eatables' such as cocoa powder. She remarks on her friend Lily Davey's visit, noting that Lily would soon realise that the mission was 'a hungry place'.

Much of Elizabeth's letter describes her father's visit to Belleville and remarks on family and friends at home. A short passage at the end of the letter written by Elizabeth's father reassures Mary Taylor that Elizabeth's injured foot was 'wonderfully stronger'.
