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 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.
He then continues writing on this, the other flap.
