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.
The writer has added this sentence as an afterthought:
I have sent to the whf (wharf) a small box of French Plumbs I beg Mrs Brand's acceptance of - I wish I knew any thing I could send would be more sa. (satisfactory?)
