JULIA MARGARET CAMERON SHOWS THE PROCTORS HER ‘FINE PHOTOGRAPHS’
PROCTER
(Ann Benson, née Skepper, 1799-1888, Writer, wife of the post ‘Barry Cornwall’)
Autograph Letter Signed to Mrs Mitchell
hoping she would “like to hear some tidings of us, and I know you will rejoice to hear that we are well - and living a very quiet happy life in this lovely spot. We came here after spending some days with my dear old friend Mr Sartoris... [he] tried to bring us to Yarmouth on board his yacht, but we had no wind and after being on the Vessel from ½ past nine until three had to make Cowes, where we found a Steamer which brought us here. We had already secured a good clean lodgings and here we have been since the 24th of July. I had proposed to visit Shankland, where the Lehmanns are, but the trouble of moving, to encounter a new Landlady, a new Cook & Waitress were too much for me, perhaps I am growing old!... the Bay is beautiful - we have fine high Hills and Downs that are. like Malvern. The Lanes are filled with wild flowers. Tennyson lives here, but at present he is away - Mrs Cameron lives here - and has not only been very kind to us showing us her fine photographs, but has given us two - one of May Prinsep as the Circe - and one of Joachim. We had had Miss Hampden staying here at the Hotel for five days, for the love of our company... Also Charles Hallé & his sister so you see we have some Society. Do you know Mrs Nassau Senior? She is near her at Colwell Bay. We go to see her sometimes. She keeps her Sofa - from necessity, having a tumour. I wonder if you hear any tidings of Mr Kinglake...” and she continues at length abut her friends and what she has been doing and who she has been writing to “You know that Cigale is in a Lunatic Asylum... I cannot tell you what a delightful visit we had... how we laughed and how we cried over those days that are no more. Her House is really perfect, such an exquisite taste has arranged all - Mr Sartoris we very good to us... played lawn Tennis which I much prefer to Croquet... I hope you will repay me in kind - and tell me about yourself and your doings...”, 4 sides 8vo., Beach House, Freshwater, Isle of Wight, 4th September
