(Jane, Mrs Moorham, Novelist and Biographer)
Autograph Letter Signed to Eileen Cond,
saying I have signed your pretty bookplate... It took me over 2 years to write, often turning the letters, journal & diaries... into conversation... really a biography, written as a novel... I wish you could see Stones' Bookshop window in Rolle St: here. It has pictures of Henry, Honoria, John, & a letter from Henry written to my grandfather, she edited 'Katharine Fry's Book' from her (Elizabeth Fry's daughter) wonderfully illustrated journal... She went to George IV's coronation - very little different from present day standards... I am so glad you like the cover of 'The So Beloved'... almost allegorical, 2 sides 8vo., Doneraile, Salterton Road, Exmouth, Devon, 23rd February
