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
letter is dated 15 Chester Place, Kennington 28th Feb. 1820. The first page
is written in effect in ‘double spacing’, with large gaps between
the thirteen lines . - he then turns the page and continues in the same clear
double spacing for the next two pages.
