BC RF/103/10/3: Letter from Cold Overton Hall, 28 September 1839

Letter from Cold Overton Hall, reporting that 'Mother wishes to spend the winter here' and MC doesn't expect to be in London until 18th or 20th October. She very much likes the Nightingales, especially Miss Julia. At Cold Overton, she is in disagreement with her sister's family: 'the only way of living in peace is to let the poor Catholics be called all the names in the dictionary'. 'I was charmed with Deerbrook' - [Harriet Martineau] has 'found out how to paint heroism in the very washhouse'. Also recommends "education progressive" by Mme [Albertine-Adrienne] Necker de Saussure.

Mary Clarke (Madame Julius Mohl)
