Letter from Delia Tudor Parnell, Paris, to Rose Blaze de Bury, 1859? : autograph manuscript signed.

Asking for her assistance in intervening with her son-in-law's family, the Thomsons, respecting the care of her (eldest) daughter, Delia; stating her desire that Delia be provided with an appropriate maid ("an honest English woman who will have a fellow feeling for her and be attached to her for her own sake") and expressing her disapproval at her daughter and son-in-law's planned trip to Switzerland; complaining of the lack of respect with which she and her concerns have been met by the Thomson's and mentioning the wishes of Lady Howard to see Delia properly cared for; emphasizing the importance of providing for the health and safety of a young woman during the first year of marriage, fearing that Delia's constitution will suffer under the current circumstances, and "that without care, she will fall into a habit of miscarrying and disappoint the Thomson's hopes of any family"; expressing her strong disapproval of the maid her daughter has been provided with and calling her a "trained and devoted vassel" of Mrs. Thomson.
