TitleLetters from J. Hall
DescriptionLetters sent from Lady Barbara's sister, all undated. Item 705:73 BA14450/287/12 (1) talks of Mr Hall's actions and how no one would blame him for what he has done if they knew his motives, the gloves have arrived from Guernsey and the baskets from Lisbon 'but not so good as we ordered'. Capt[ain] Williams has been disappointed by the seeds expected from Botany Bay. Item 705:73 BA14450/287/12 (2) sends thanks for the chairs received. Item 705:73 BA14450/287/12 (3) requests information about Henry Brook, who has been making repeated applications to Jane [possibly her daughter]. Item 705:73 BA14450/287/12 (4) talks of the financial standing of Mr B[rooke], though Jane does not think much about him at present. Item 705:73 BA14450/287/12 (5) talks of how 'Harry' has been appointed youngest Lieutenant of a ship in Chatham, and has hopes that their daughter's indiscreet match will not turn out as bad as feared. Item 705:73 BA14450/287/12 (6) 'Harry' is to be married soon, not as his friends would wish, as 'the Lady's connections are but indifferent'.
