This is an interesting read. Nice to look into Jane’s everyday life. Thanks for sharing.
You are welcome. I was struck by Jane’s extremely varied vocabulary. I hope that the letter is retained by the Torquay or another museum rather than disappearing into a private collection.
I couldn’t agree more. Some things aren’t meant for private collections.
