Letter from Elizabeth Battey to Elizabeth E. McCulloch
Description:
Lord and Lady Howe are on their way home from a lengthy stay in Egypt. Lady Howe is feeling better, but there will be no celebrations in May for Curzon's 21st birthday as the excitement would not be good for her. The house is very large and can accommodate more than at Warwick, though it is lonely. Description of Gopsall and villages around; houses in the villages; Leamington and Warwick. Allowed the maids to have a little party; has only four laundry maids, 3 housemaids, and the coal man now, since the others are all in London. Encloses an account (by Mr. Taylor) of the Howe family through the current (4th) George Richard Penn Curzon Howe.
