Letter from Elizabeth Battey to Elizabeth E. McCulloch
Description:
Does not wish to be addressed as Mrs. Battey as it is too formal. All is dreadfully quiet and Battey has barely ventured out. Clarifying titles, including Lady Randolph Churchill, who remarried George Cornwallis West and prefers to drop her first husband's name: "There are many titled ladies from first marriages in England that are happy with their 2nd husbands who are only plain Mr." Afraid there may be war with Russia.
