Description:
|
Letter to Barbara Fergusson from Elizabeth Gaskell. Fergusson was the nurse, and later governess, of Gaskell's eldest two daughters, Marianne and Meta. This letter appears to be after Fergusson had left the Gaskells' employment. The main subject is 'Anne', a servant in Gaskell's household, who is to be an unmarried mother. Gaskell describes her exertions on Anne's behalf.
