Full description
Eldow Lodge Torquay July 23rd Dear Mr. Gibbs Thank you very much for so kindly wishing to see me. I have heard so much of Tyntesfield from Charlotte Yonge and from many of my cousins that it will be a great pleasure to me to go there and to make your acquaintance. I hope to be able to meet Fanny Patterson at Exeter and come with her on Thursday the 5th, staying till Saturday as I have undertaken the Sunday School here in the absence of the superintendent and as my brother’s family will be staying with us I can only be away from home for a very short time. With many thanks believe me Yours truly C R Coleridge My cousin Edith has written to you explaining why she cannot accompany me on the 5th.
Provenance
Purchased from the estate of the late Lord Wraxall with the assistance of the NHMF and donations from members and supporters.
