Desperate pleas for financial aid

Mrs Belcher: 1831 & 1834

Eunice Shanahan

These letters graciously have been shared with the Victorian Web by Eunice and Ron Shanahan; they have been taken from their website. The letters give an insight into the daily lives and concerns of 'ordinary' people without whom history would not exist. The letters are a wonderful example of how much history may be gleaned from such sources.

I have two letter from this lady which really show the circumstances of ordinary people. They were both sent from Hackney to Wm. Crowdy, a solicitor in Highworth Swindon Wilts.
