 File
Reference Code: GBR/0271/GCPP Parkes 5/26
Scope and Contents Bessie likes Barbara's 'morsel' [from the Hastings News]. She encloses her critique on ‘Miss M’s new book’ from the B[irmingham] Journal but does not like an alteration made by Mr Feeny. Mentions a drawing by Barbara of Miss Howitt’s hair and says she was delighted by Barbara’s panegyric on Miss Howitt; also mentions Mr Howitt’s bankruptcy. Priestley is the same as usual. She begs Barbara to take care of her eyes and not to wear them out with night time and early morning reading. One page...
