Notes
Part of a collection comprising 75 letters from Maria La Touche, consisting of six letters to John Ruskin, one letter to Ruskin's mother, Margaret Cock Ruskin and 68 letters to Joan Severn. Letters are largely undated, but were written from about 1861 to the 1890's. Letters in this collection have been described individually in separate catalog records; see collection-level record for more information.
The La Touches started spending winters at Tunbridge Wells after the winter of 1884-1885, their last winter at Menton, France; they began wintering in Dublin after 1893; this letter refers to returning from Tunbridge Wells, therefore, it is possible that the year of writing would be between 1885 and 1893.
This collection was part of Helen Gill Viljoen's large bequest of John Ruskin-related material (formerly MA 3451).
Written on stationery embossed with her initials.
